    154: The Incredible Path of "Alchemised"
    Nov 17 2025
    Plenty of fan fictions have been traditionally published lately, but none took quite the rewrite "Alchemised" did. This one tops over 1,000 pages and had to be purged of its previous world. So is it worth the read? (Major trigger warnings)

    Grady Hendrix makes a second pod appearance with "Witchcraft for Wayward Girls" and a deeply researched look at homes for unwed mothers in the 60s/70s. There are indeed witches, but they are not the most horrific part of the story.

    The First Witch of Boston tells the story of Margaret Jones, an actual woman who was put to death for witchcraft in the 1600s. However, it puts its own spin on the woman's story. Did we predict a love story? Nope - but it is one.

    Sep 29 2025
    Hell is other people. Academia is hell. Those all sound like enticing reasons to read "Katabasis" by R. F. Kuang. And while they are prevalent themes, there's also Kuang's typical dive into logic and linguistics. So is it worth the ride?

    147: "Golden Son" and the Space Opera
    Sep 22 2025
    Red Rising fans are torn on whether book one or book two - "Golden Son" - are the better story. The Busy Girls are in agreement, though. What was sort of like "Game of Thrones" is now an outer space adventure and no character is safe.
