    148: Dark Academia Can't Get Darker Than "Katabasis"
    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.

    Tim Burton, if you're listening, we want you to produce this movie. TJ Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea" is an adventure in magical foster care and is packed full of life lessons and smiles. It's like a kids book written for adults. But will every adult like it?

    Sep 8 2025
    A plotless dystopian read with a nameless main character and no men. Do we have your attention? "I Who Have Never Known Men" is a fun thought exercise on humanity, womanhood, motherhood, solitude, etc. Well, for some people.

    You probably read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. His new book is pretty much the opposite of that, but with a touch of the same voice he brings to all of his work. History nerds and empaths alike have things to read in "Everything is Tuberculosis".

    142: Vampire Summer? "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil"
    Jul 29 2025
    V.E. Schwab is back with another tale that crosses centuries and explores love and desire. This time, it also explores female rage. Toxic lesbian vampires? Yes! But also, over 500 pages. Is the prose enticing enough to keep our attention for hundreds of years?
