Happy St. Patrick's Day! No shenanigans here this week, we've got economic hardships and rampant sickness. Is it a modern novel?? No, we're back in 1845 Ireland, by way of 1990's Under the Hawthorn Tree by Marita Conlon-McKenna. It's a wild journey through the Irish countryside during the famine, with the poor O'Driscoll kids.

Stine's Fear Street Super Chiller, Broken Hearts. So many creepy angry boys, and so many times Jess laughs at teenage deaths. Plus what is possibly the best Fear Street murder of them all.

The episode Jess has been dreading the most! CW for dog death. This is an EMOTIONAL one, y'all! This one mainly deals with the decline of Kristy's collie, Louie, and we frankly can not handle that. But at least Stacey really weirds some bratty kids out, and then there are other baby-sitting chapters that are entirely unnecessary. BUT MAINLY ANIMAL SADZ. We were too emotional to remember to do our current reads (apologies) and if you're into ASMR sniffles, we have got. you. covered. Plus, celebrity sibling deaths! And was Ann a childhood grifter???

We begin this week by going slightly off the rails into baby showers and Chik-Fil_A. But we get back on track for Christina's Ghost by Betty Ren Wright, our most controversial book yet! At least between the two of us. In the book we deal with grumpy uncles, big old houses, missing stamps, and scary ghosts. As it turns out, Steven gets pretty mad about ghosts! So we get deep into paranormal discourse. Could ghosts be real? Why do people think so? And why does Steven get irritated by them being in children's books? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/6-possible-scientific-reasons-for-ghosts/   We've started a Facebook Group!

This week we finish up the seminal V.C. Andrews classic, My Sweet Audrina. Which means we get into the REALLY messed up shit.  Will Audrina ever live a normal life? Will she ever know her true age? How many people will the damn staircase kill? And most importantly, does the 2nd Audrina still hate the 1st Audrina? And don't forget, we're having a birthday giveaway! Share and/or like any of our social media posts, or follow our pages, and each one gives you a chance to win a Half Price Books (or your local equivalent) gift card! You have through July 31st!

CW for basically everything. Time we waltzed into the fucked up world of V.C. Andrews, isn't it? So this week we read the 1st part of My Sweet Audrina, which Steven was a bit distressed to hear doesn't really cover the buckwild stuff yet. We do have creepy ass rocking chairs, shame, swiss cheese memories, god complexes, and gaslighting. SO. MUCH. GASLIGHTING. Part 2 next week!  Thanks for listening!

This week we read BSC #7 Claudia and Mean Janine, which has led us to become a Janine Kishi and Jenny Prezzioso stan-cast. Join us!

Martin biography, which leads us to a super fascinating cat discussion! Thanks for listening! Hey, if you’ve been enjoying our show, please share it, tweet it, tell your friends and enemies.
