The End?: Recent Episodes
ItsEliok
Join me as I discuss literature from my perspective. A new take on classics and modern novella. Reading through the last page only, I will attempt to recreate the story based on the information given...which may not always be quite so accurate.
The novels I look at in this week's episode are "She Who Became The Sun" by Shelley Parker-Chan; "Trail of the Mountain Man" by William W. Johnstone; and "Intrigue in Capri" by Ashley Weaver.
If you wish to purchase these novels, check out these links!

No link for Intrigue in Capri, which makes it more...intriguing!

I dig into some of the scaaariest novels of all time (according to the internet!) and they all turn out to be pretty cut and dry with their endings! Made it easy, but short!

Today I look at "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck; "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin; and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac and learn an important lesson: the novels really dictate how well an episode is going to go! These didn't give me much to work with, but here we are anyway!

The novels I explore this week are "Music for Chameleons" by Truman Capote; "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" by V.E. Schwab; and "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett. I start making a lot of connections between the three novels and decide to take it in that direction.

Trigger Warning: Adult Language, Sexual scenes, r word
This was an uncomfortable set of stories! I decide to switch things up and predict the sequels for Vampirates, things get down and dirty with Ravish, and I forget which ones the author during Jane Eyre!

We look at "The Lucky One", "Crispin: The Cross of Lead" and "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" and create some new stories for all three. I also dive deeper into teaching and life and have a very prominent voice in this episode
The novels I will be looking at this week are "Say You're One of Them" by Uwem Akpan; "Bug Park" by James P. Hogan; and "Looking for Alaska" by John Green. Things get serious as a few of the novels leave me tongue tied and unsure where to go. I also dive a little bit more into my personal life, which is probably as exciting as it sounds!
The podcast mentioned on my show is Stephanie Lynn at Sinister Story Hour! Please check out her podcast! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sinister-story-hour/id1550706519
Trigger warning: In the final book review of "Looking for Alaska" by John Green, the subject matter of suicide is brought up and discussed.
I take an in depth look at the last page of three new stories and get into my personal life and a few reflections as well, in Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, and Undercover Marriage: Witness Protection by Terri Reed.
I create my first ever podcast and take a look at 3 separate novels. First up is Dark Lover by JR Ward. I break down that I know absolutely nothing even after reading the last page. After that I take a look at As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner which all turns bananas. Finally I finish up by realizing that I want to read and explore these novels more, and I read the final page of Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and find out I have a lot more in common with the ending than I expected.
