This week we talk about The Eminence in Shadow Season 2. We start off by discussing our views on the pacing as well as the main character's ridiculous luck. Jack breaks down the rapid-fire arcs, from the Lawless City to a literal corporate war, arguing that the 12-episode run felt rushed and entirely predictable. He saw the protagonist, Cid, as an idiot with blinders on who just stumbles into success through the whole series. Rick, on the other hand, thinks the pacing is a solid step up from season one. He argued that Cid doesn't stumble but rather he "confidently saunters" through the plot as the ultimate edgelord, spitting out gibberish and half-remembered facts that his fanatical followers interpret as absolute genius. In the end we discuss how the series was overall and if it was something that is worth the watch.About the anime:The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 continues where season 1 largely left off. Kicking off with the "Lawless City Arc," where Cid and Shadow Garden investigate the red moon phenomenon and clash with the city's three monarchs: the Blood Queen Elisabeth, Juggernaut, and Yukime. After a very chaotic and rapid first few episodes, everything transitions into the "Corporate War Arc," where Cid takes on a new persona of John Smith and moves into a massive counterfeit currency operation to cause a crisis meant to bankrupt the Mitsugoshi Company. In the end everything results in a massive misunderstanding for him but to his peers everything went according to plan. Leading to the third and final “Oriana Kingdom Arc” where we learn more about the Cult of Diablo, their plans and views and the worlds(?). The show maintains that Cid constantly misunderstands the gravity of the plot while effortlessly looking like a tactical genius to everyone around him.Next Week's Pick: “I Parry Everything”Have you had the chance to watch Eminence In Shadow Season 2 or any of our previous selections?

This week's episode is less about any single book and more about the way reading habits actually work — the seasonal pulls, the abandoned TBRs, the stack of books next to the bed that somehow keeps growing. Megan breaks down her seasonal reading calendar (spoiler: spring means fantasy, fall means thrillers, and October basically only means horror). Shereen reflects on her own identity as a comfort reader who goes back to familiar fantasy series when she's in a slump — and how the steady stream of ARCs has basically replaced that habit.

A rug cleaning company in Arizona just cracked the code on social media without ever paying for ads. Miranda Gwilliam from Rug Worx joins me to explain how she and her husband turned their family business into an industry authority with 900,000 followers across platforms.I started following their page because the content was impossible to ignore. Real production work. Real problem solving. Real people who actually show up on camera, even when they don't want to. What grabbed me was how they built something that resonates with both industry professionals and high-end homeowners, while keeping their kids as their absolute priority.Miranda breaks down the exact strategies that moved the needle, why going viral on TikTok changed everything, and how they've stayed referral-only for 22 years while still dominating digitally.

Reading Slump? Tips to Get Out of It + Our “Slump Slayer” Cocktail (Books & Booze Podcast)In this episode of The Plot With a Twist, we chat about what a reading slump feels like, what causes it, and practical ways to get excited about books again—cocktail in hand. We talk about common triggers like overhyped reads that don't deliver, book hangovers after an epic series, reading outside your mood, genre burnout (especially heavy or emotional books), overcommitting to ARCs and beta reads, being mentally stuck in a beloved fictional world, and the way social media/content pressure can suck the joy out of reading. We also cover how life stress, exhaustion, and even falling asleep mid-read or mid-audiobook can contribute. Our slump-busting tips include rereading a comfort favorite, trying a new or rarely-read genre, changing your reading style (paperback/Kindle/audio), and not forcing it. We share specific books and series that helped us recover (including Hunger Games, Fourth Wing, Harry Potter, Bewitched & Bewildered, Lights Out, Ruinous Love trilogy, Trick by Natalia Jaster, Hockey Gods, the Beautiful series by Christina Lauren, the “Why Mummy…” books by Jill Sims, Bishop by L.J. Shen, and Succubus Blues).

Many literary fiction authors feel caught in the middle, shut out of a traditional literary establishment that foregrounds their genre, but also out of indie advice urging marketing methods that feel misaligned. Orna Ross explores the psychology of literary writers who feel uneasy about selling their work, shares her own marketing shifts as a literary novelist and poet, and explains why literary fiction is not a special case—simply another genre with its own reader psychology and buying behavior.

Send us a textTry CrewfictionTired of shouting into the void and hoping readers find you? We unpack a clear, stress-free system any fiction author can use to build a professional presence, get approved on Goodreads, and grow a loyal email list that powers bigger launches. With Sam from CrewFiction, we map the path from scattered links to a polished hub that ranks on Google, showcases your books, and welcomes new readers with irresistible bonuses.We start with the foundation: a clean, fast author website that imports your Amazon titles in minutes and centers the details readers actually search for—your genre and tropes. That simple shift supercharges discoverability and credibility, especially when paired with a custom domain. From there, we talk practical SEO, from search-friendly page structure and page speed to leveraging a content ecosystem that pushes your pen name and books higher in results. You'll hear how curated reviews, link-in-bio consolidation, and clear calls to action turn casual browsers into subscribers.Then we dive into list growth and retention. Reader magnets—prequels, deleted scenes, bonus epilogues—sit front and center and feed a welcome sequence that builds trust. Sam shares how CrewFiction's fiction-first newsletter platform gives you story-driven templates and launch workflows so you're never stuck wondering what to write. We also explore collaboration: finding authors with matching tropes for swaps and promos, using a searchable directory to align audiences, and tracking what works with built-in analytics, tagging, and segmentation for ARCs, superfans, and new readers.If you want a simpler way to get discovered, collect emails, and sell more books without burning out, this conversation hands you the toolkit.

They explore the film's eerie cult narrative, psychological undercurrents, and the shifting horror dynamics that turn humans into the real monsters. With Nia DaCosta in the director's chair and Alex Garland returning as writer, the film blends horror, satire, and surprising moments of hope. A rich conversation for fans of speculative horror and social allegory.

Reading should be fun… so why does choosing your next book sometimes feel impossible? In this Group Chat episode, I'm joined by Amy and Sarah for an honest conversation about how our reading lives have evolved — and how we actually choose what to read now.We talk about reading paralysis, juggling ARCs and backlist titles, the joy of cozy mysteries, why Goodreads ratings don't tell the whole story, and how libraries, audiobooks, and Kindle Unlimited completely changed the way we read. If you've ever stared at your TBR feeling overwhelmed instead of excited, this episode is for you.⏱️ Episode Timestamps[00:00] Welcome + reading apps & Pagebound[01:00] Reading paralysis & year-end overwhelm[02:00] Short holiday audiobooks that actually work[05:00] Reading before Bookstagram[07:00] Cozy mysteries & Chick Lit nostalgia[10:00] Finding reading community online[13:00] Virgin River & audiobook obsession[16:00] Trusting reading taste (not star ratings)[19:00] When a 3-star book is perfect[22:00] Mood reading vs forcing yourself[26:00] Backlist reading as burnout recovery[29:00] Why fantasy doesn't work for everyone[32:00] How we organize (or don't) our TBRs[36:00] Library browsing as self-care[38:00] Letting go of “must finish” reading guiltJoin the ConversationSubscribe to our Substack for exclusive recommendations.

"Be more human," we are told, if we want to thrive as indie authors in the age of AI, continue to sell our books, and remain relevant to readers. But what does that mean in practical terms? In this session, based on ALLi's Reach More Readers guidebook, Orna Ross surveys how machine and human intelligences are becoming more integrated. She explores ways to strengthen and augment humanity in book marketing, offers tips on using AI assistance across three marketing models, and explains how to let go of what no longer serves your purpose as a writer and publisher while optimizing what does.

Jassifer is a no-nonsense goblin captain who's been spirited away from her own world of Erdheim, and into the city of Forever: a twinkling and futuristic metropolitan of inter-connected asteroids. Having falling in battle against her sworn enemy, she's left with no option to work off her resurrection debt at the morally grey adventuring company, Oddjobs (led by eccentric tiefling CEO, Odessa Magisteria).
