She has compiled a much larger list since we recorded this episode.Referenced Material: The List of the Lost by Morrissey Things to Make and Break by May-Lan Tan Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas Chemical by Lexa Kline Another by Lexa Kline that is equally as magnificent, but less intense in the content is Sgàile Leannan: Book One of The McClary Chronicles.
