  • Episode 54 - Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel
    Sep 2 2024

    Send us a text

    Welcome! Join Serena and Sarah Jane as they go waaaay back in time reading the prehistoric epic, Clan of the Cave Bear. Our friends absolutely adored and highly recommended this book. While we might have been bogged down by the overwhelming amount of detailed descriptions and also struggled to remove our 2024 glasses for this one, we can see how this novel is beloved by so many readers. Despite the fact that this might not have been our favourite read, we can't help but rave about the compelling characters who breathed life into the ancient world, especially the enigmatic gaslighting death curse that added an unexpected twist to the narrative.

    We would highly recommend looking up the trigger/content warnings for this book before reading or listening to this episode.

  • Episode 51 - The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt
    Jul 22 2024

    Send us a text

    Welcome! Join Serena and Sarah Jane as they discuss the award winning "Western" novel, The Sisters Brothers. This book has an interesting backstory of how it came to be on this podcast. We also aren't entirely sure what constitutes a Western. There were horses (#PoorTub #RIP), guns, and lots of gold! So we guess that counts? Let us know!

  • 50 - It's In His Kiss by Julia Quinn
    Jul 8 2024

    Send us a text

    Welcome! Join Serena and Sarah Jane as they venture back to the ton! That's right - we are back with the 7th book of the Bridgerton Series, much to Serena's dismay. This story features Hyacinth (or an Eloise 2.0 if you ask us) and Lady Danbury. Oh, and a devilishly handsome rake named Gareth. There's fancy balls, a late night rendez-vous, a mysterious Italian diary, and HIDDEN TREASURE?! And let's not forget those eyebrow raising PANTS!
