Today's episode brings allllllllll the feels when Molly covers the entirety of Sappho's work, and Lindsey finds a lot of uncomfortably personal parallels in The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace.
If you feel the need to skip Lindsey's portion due to the trigger warnings she gives at the beginning, skip from 37:03 to 1:04:04 to hear our lackluster Encyclowheelia pick.
In this episode Lindsey harkens back to yesteryear when she was a pathetic weirdo in high school as she covers Cinder by Marissa Meyer. Molly dives headfirst into the primordial soup (literally) that is Animorphs - specifically book one, Invasion - by K.A. Applegate.
Apologies for the sound quality for most of this episode; we're trying out some new software and it's a bit fiddly.
You can find the digital copies of the Animorphs books here, an article about K.A. Applegate's takedown policy here, the letter she wrote to the fans after the series ended here, and the list of sins Molly rattles off here.

The article by Chris Winkle Molly mentions can be found here, and references to Paolini's AI art shit here, as well as why it's now illegal here.
Thank you to all of our wonderful listeners for sticking with us! This isn't goodbye forever, just goodbye for now. Enjoy some of our many flubs and faffs, as well as some stories we haven't been able to fit in!
In our extra holiday episode, Lindsey discovers the magic of ritual chanting in The Spirit of Yule by Thomas Roswell, and is determined to convince you that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is, in fact, a Christmas book. Meanwhile, Molly delves into the world of Hanukkah romance novels in The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer, and goes WAY more in depth than necessary on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.The weird telling of The Spirit of Yule that so traumatized Lindsey can be found here. https://youtu.be/76DYeyEEjVs https://at.tumblr.com/warmcoals/today-is-the-start-of-chanukah-so-for-those-who/upsqu6l7jnto https://at.tumblr.com/cassiesinsanity/what-gentiles-imagine-vs-what-jews-actually-are/toae0qbmsmrv
Lindsey waxes poetic about diet culture and (other) in The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl by Melissa Keil, and Molly tells a tale of librarians being the backbone of society and this book review in particular because they are the ones that managed to help her remember her book for this episode: Define "Normal" by Julie Anne Peters.
Molly starts us out with her OG love of CSI: Miami with Florida Getaway by Max Allan Collins and then somehow talks more about Lindsey's pick than her own. Don't worry though, Lindsey still manages to have a lot to say about The Con Job by Matt Forebeck.
Lindsey starts out lighthearted with one of BookTok's favorite queer romances: Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake, and then Molly continues on a more serious note with If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan.

In this week's episode, Molly puts up with Lindsey comparing a character's father incorrectly to Liam Neeson from Taken as she tries to get through the plot of Green Rider by Kristen Britain in less than three hours. Lindsey then goes on to horrify Molly by talking about a creepy military leader; but don't worry! Hunted by the Sky (written by Tanaz Bhathena) also gave Lindsey a bi panic with the two protagonists.
In our special Halloween bonus episode, we talk all about Edgar Allan Poe's life, literary theories, and Lindsey's inexplicable hatred of The Raven. Lindsey covers both The Cask of Amontillado and Annabel Lee, while Molly handles The Tell-Tale Heart and does a dramatic reading of The Raven (much to Lindsey's horror) (but isn't that the point of Poe?)
Now with fabulous spooky cover our by our amazing friend Eileen!
Lindsey talks about the time she scared her roommate when she dropped Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas on her dorm room floor, and Molly rants about why she can't stand Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

In this episode, we talk about our Paranormal Romance picks!

In our very first official episode, Molly waxes poetic about Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra, and Lindsey explains why stepping on the third rail is sometimes a good thing with her review of One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston.
