We've resurfaced! Even though we haven't exactly been super busy reading behind the scenes, we figured we'd bring everyone back to speed with a recap of what we've been reading and doing for the past year. Our favourite reads, most...

So, uh, it's been a while. We figured we should release something to let you know where we've been and what we've been reading. And to give some life updates and let you know where this podcast is going.We're not offici...

Listen,  I think we just needed to have a chill episode. So, here it is.  A chill episode. Vee talks about an old favourite, Travel Light by Naomi Mitchison, and thinks about how books change over time and re...

cw: rapeIn this month's role reversal, Jess reads a book of essays and Vee reads (really awful) alien smut!Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino is highly recommended book of personal essays exploring the ways that capitalism has ruined...

Sometimes you just need to get up at 5AM and beautifully read, ya know?Vee recounts her experiences reading This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, a wonderfully crafted sapphic romance about post-human ti...

It was bound to happen. Jess is finally out of her reading slump and dove straight into Piranesi by Susanna Clarke - which of course meant that we needed to sit down with some drinks and a pipe and chat about what we thought about this book.

In case anyone is wondering: no, Jess didn’t get her reading chair back. The saga continues. I’m personally even wondering if the chair ever existed. Or maybe it was adopted and is now living a totally different life with another family. Maybe ...

Are book to movie/tv/theatre/videogame adaptations ever good?We start to answer this question in our latest minisode... and then get sidetracked by talking about which adaptations we've liked and disliked. Important stuff, you know....

Day 829 of our reading slump.Things are looking bleak. The books on the shelves don't vibe with us. Our library books are being returned without ever having been read. We barely know how to read anymore. Do we just hold the books in our...

(well, when opposites get compared)Tag along another unhinged episode of emotionally charged ranting! It’s great, though. Don’t be scared.Jess reads/rants about Sarah J. Maas’ latest book in her A Court of Thorns and Roses series...

Happy Black History Month! And also Black Future Month!Vee reads the incomparable genius N.K. Jemisin with her book of short stories, How Long 'Til Black Future Month, and Jess reads the magical and relevant The Midnig...

Jess and Vee both read books like nothing they've read before, even though Vee has already said that about the same author and - well,  Jess is probably right. She often is.Jess reads The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schw...

It's that time of year again... when your brain is mush from all the reading you've been trying to stuff into the last few days of the year, because you haven't quite come to terms with the fact that you won't reach your reading goal for this y...

'Tis December, which means it's time to rant about our Book Box books! (If that makes no sense to you, listen to the last episode - or, at least, the last ten minutes of it) Well, rant may be a strong word, because we loved both of our books.

It's... our November episode! In December! Because reasons!We hope that our sporadic upload schedule (sorry about that) is made up for (we hope) with two amazing books - and our Christmas Book Box unboxing! If you have no idea what our ...

In this episode, Vee rationalises that she's reading a spooky Halloween book because all fantasy, if you think about it, is an exploration of the Other. Right? And what is Halloween but a showcase of those things that we avoid and reject and th...

So, this happened.Back in episode 8, Jess read A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, the second (and most popular) book in her A Court of Thorn of Roses series. She specifically did not recommend the book to Vee and told her that sh...

In our most incoherent, tangental, sleep deprived, and overall nonsensical episode yet, we delve into two very different YA books and how they impact the way we read.Jess rants about the trash fire that is Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meye...

Do you ever have that thing happen where you pick up a book and it's just what you wanted to read at that exact moment? Yeah. That's what happened when Vee read A Sense of the Mysterious by Alan Lightman, a wholeheartedly human book about the a...

The universe may have attempted to stop us from getting this episode to you, but we did it. Might be a week late, but here you have it, anyways.Maybe we were cursed by the same witches who tried to hex the moon?Anyways.J...

As two white people living in Canada, we have a lot to (un)learn in regards to racism. About our history, about how we are complicit in white supremacy, about how to help - and even about how to (un)learn without centring ourselves or our white...

Because we value bringing you a diverse selection of books, we present to you nothing less than a YA fantasy and a chicken how-to guide. Jess reads Sky In The Deep by Adrienne Young, a YA fantasy about family and, well, common enem...

Vee breaks in her first audiobook experience with a book that she’s been reading out loud for years, anyways: The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, narrated by Rob Inglis. And Jess breaks into something other than a book…: the newly releas...

In a strange turn of events (that we are blaming entirely on this being episode number thirteen), neither Jess or Vee finished the books they wanted to read for this episode - but by no fault of the books themselves. Jess read half...

Vee finally releases the hold that The Glass Sentence (by S.E. Grove) has had on her mind for nearly a year and finishes a DNF! Who would have even thought that possible. Middle grade books are just not her thing, despite the time-bending narra...
