ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Cruel Intentions: “I'm the Marcia F###ing Brady of the Upper East Side…” It's back to school season and what better way to kick it off than with Cruel Intentions. Set in the late 90's in New York City, Cruel Intentions throws us back to a time when cell phones we're large and used for CALLS, but blackmail and manipulation are the same then as now. Always getting dumped for innocent girls, Katheryn is out for revenge on her ex-boyfriend and the new girl, Cecile. Cecile's mother wants Katheryn to mentor Cecile before the school year starts to get her adjusted to a coeducational setting. Sebastian is the black sheep step-brother and ruiner of reputations. Annette is the crux of it all. What follows is a story that ruins lives, reputations, and prospects while also uplifting truth and acceptance of others and yourself. The soundtrack is fantastic, the cinematography and sets are gorgeous, and the LOGISTICS are the bane of Jessica Marie's life. "Are you in? Or are you out?"

What happens when you try to retell Heir of Fire from memory… a year and a half later? Chaos. Pure chaos. In this episode of the L.A.M.E. Book Club Podcast, Melissa and Ellie attempt to piece together Sarah J. Maas's third Throne of Glass book without notes, outlines, or a reread—and the results are hilarious. Expect spoilers, fuzzy plot points, strong opinions, and plenty of moments that will make you scream at your screen. Did we totally butcher the details? Probably. Did we have the best time doing it? Absolutely.

In this week's Crown of Midnight deep dive, we cover chapters 44–48 of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series, where the darkness under the glass castle closes in. Literally. With 13 years of combined academic literary training, we use two literary lenses to break down the rich symbolism, foreshadowing, metaphors, and plot devices that make these chapters some of the most pivotal in the series. Our guiding question: Why does SJM continue to tie Celaena and Dorian together through their actions and the symbolism surrounding them if they are never quite aligned? From Dorian's magic flaring as a warning in the catacombs, to a haunting monster hunt in the dark, to the revelation that the King already claimed the first Wyrdkey, this section is full of turning points. We analyze the predator/prey role reversals between Celaena and Dorian, the layered imagery of light, darkness, and thresholds, and how these moments tie into their ongoing connection. We also unpack Nehemia's cold farewell from beyond the grave, Gavin's cryptic warning, and Archer's shocking betrayal that threatens to expose Celaena's greatest secret. This episode is perfect for people who love: Throne of Glass literary analysis & character studies Romantasy with complex female leads Fate vs. free will in fantasy Wyrdkeys, Wyrdmarks & the Maasverse Dark fantasy creature battles Slow-burn alliances & betrayals Symbolism-rich worldbuilding This is Part 2 of our two-part discussion.

This is part 2 of this week's episode. In this week's episode, we dive into chapters 39–43 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, where destiny begins to tighten its grip on Celaena Sardothien. Armed with 13 years of combined academic literary training, we use two literary lenses to analyze the rich symbolism, metaphors, and imagery woven through these pivotal chapters, including mirrors, portals, Wyrdmarks, and fire. Our guiding question: Has Celaena ever had a choice when it comes to Destiny and the path it wants her to take? From Celaena's chilling encounter with Baba Yellowlegs and her first true glimpse into the multiverse of the Maasverse, to Dorian's growing empathy and Chaol's descent into paranoia and betrayal, these chapters mark a turning point in Celaena's character arc. We unpack themes of agency, identity, grief, and transformation, while analyzing how Sarah J. Maas uses gothic horror, fairy tale tropes, romantic foils, and fantasy lore to shape Celaena's slow march toward who she is meant to become. This episode is perfect for people who love: Throne of Glass literary analysis Romantasy with layered female protagonists Fantasy books about fate vs. free will Witchcraft, Wyrdmarks, and multiverse lore Enemies to lovers, friends to enemies, and broken friendships Symbolism, foreshadowing, and character-driven worldbuilding Dissecting Dorian, Chaol, and Celaena's emotional journeys Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

mirror characters — like Tamlin and Rhysand from Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses — reveal the most intimate truths about how we love, justify, forgive, and evolve.A heartfelt thank-you to @katrynn for the innovative and emotionally charged question sent via Cameo — which inspired this entire exploration of how we experience fictional love as a mirrorThrough the lens of emotional psychology, myth, and narrative healing, this episode unpacks: Why we romanticize the complicated “book boyfriend”. How love becomes control and when control becomes violence. The difference between soul-led love and ego-driven protection. Why Rhysand is forgiven for what Tamlin is condemned for. How fictional characters reflect the shadow sides of real relationships.A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our guiding question: Has Celaena ever had a choice when it comes to Destiny and the path it wants her to take? From Celaena's chilling encounter with Baba Yellowlegs and her first true glimpse into the multiverse of the Maasverse, to Dorian's growing empathy and Chaol's descent into paranoia and betrayal, these chapters mark a turning point in Celaena's character arc. We unpack themes of agency, identity, grief, and transformation, while analyzing how Sarah J. Maas uses gothic horror, fairy tale tropes, romantic foils, and fantasy lore to shape Celaena's slow march toward who she is meant to become. This episode is perfect for people who love: Throne of Glass literary analysis Romantasy with layered female protagonists Fantasy books about fate vs. free will Witchcraft, Wyrdmarks, and multiverse lore Enemies to lovers, friends to enemies, and broken friendships Symbolism, foreshadowing, and character-driven worldbuilding Dissecting Dorian, Chaol, and Celaena's emotional journeys This is Part 1 of our two-part discussion—Part 2 drops Thursday.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Oathbound If you've been following the podcast for a while you know that the Legendborn Cycle has a special place in the hearts of Laura Marie and Jessica Marie, for so many reasons. One of those many reasons is the beautiful way that the story depicts grief and all of the way that it can effect a person. That and so much more is the focus of Oathbound, where Bree finds herself in an extended training montage and side characters become main characters and main characters are sidelined. All things lead to an auction of that contains all of the items that all of the characters are questing for, the only real question is: Who are all these people? Because with Bree's training comes conditions and those conditions will impact decisions in the present and in the future. "That was rash!"

Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca—your favorite sister duo back with our July wrap-up episode! This month, something wild happened: Rebecca outread Stacey. (No, really. The world tilted. A prophecy was fulfilled. We have the Goodreads receipts.) Stacey hit a bit of a reading slump while Rebecca spiraled into a whirlwind of short stories, romance novels, and a five-star reading high that knocked her into next month.In this episode, we're recapping all the reads from July: the sweet, the swoony, the mysterious, and the murdery (yep). We're also diving deep into our featured read, Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry, which had us unpacking grief, gossip, secret NDAs, and sisters (both fictional and very real—hi!). Let's get into it:What We Read in July:Stacey's Stack (3 Books)*

This is Part 2 of our two-part discussion. In this emotionally charged episode, we explore Celaena Sardothien's harrowing descent into grief, rage, and retribution following Nehemia's death. With 13 years of combined academic literary training, we analyze Sarah J. Maas's Crown of Midnight through two literary lenses, unpacking symbolism, foreshadowing, metaphors, and imagery. This week's guiding question: Are Celaena's actions in these chapters the stages of grief playing out? If so, are they bringing her closer toward acceptance? From the chilling moonlit hunt through Rifthold's underbelly to the silent heartbreak of cleaning out Nehemia's belongings, these chapters reveal a Celaena stripped of identity, morality, and trust. We break down how Sarah J. Maas uses moonlight as a symbol of conscience, the sacred defilement of Gavin's sword, the inversion of hero's journey tropes, and the clash between predator and protector in Celaena's fractured psyche. We also unpack how Dorian's and Chaol's POVs illuminate their diverging views of Celaena, and what that foreshadows for their relationships with her. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, character-driven fantasy, and readers craving deeper analysis of trauma, identity, and power, this episode lays the foundation for Celaena's transformation and hints of her true heritage.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bride: "I'd be Alpha." Hey, ACOFAE aren't prudes. You've probably been thinking that recently, but Laura Marie and Jessica Marie promise that they are not, and Bride will prove it! Misery is a vampire in a world where humans, werewolves, and vampires have carved out a truce by way of using collateral— children— to guarantee peace. When Misery's father comes to her and tells her that she will be the bride in a marriage to broker peace between the vampires and the werewolves, what follows is an unlearning of assumptions and stereotypes on both sides. Filled with all the best tropes and partnered with characters that have major chemistry, Bride is a delight from start to finish. "Not knot, but not not knot."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Eurotrip: "King. Cooper." A movie that represents: a time, a place, a feeling, a moment is absolutely Eurotrip. Placed firmly alongside other raunchy comedies of its time, Eurotrip may have gone under the radar for some people but not ACOFAE. It's the summer after High School graduation and Scotty is happy with his girlfriend, Fiona, his best friend, Cooper, his plans to work with his dad all summer, and his German pen pal who is awesome and also a guy. Except that Fiona is cheating and dumps Scotty immediately after graduation and Cooper facilitates a trip for them to go to Berlin to meet the German penpal who IS NOT a guy. Scotty's German is schlecht. What follows are European shenanigans and lots of full frontal male nudity which is/was a welcome change of things. "Scotty doesn't know that's Matt Damon."

These books are infact BRICKS. Very good books. But you may want to buckle up because good grief do we have a lot to cover. Especially with ACOTAR 6 coming our way!!!

In the second half of our two-part deep dive into chapters 22–26 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, we explore the emotional, political, and romantic tipping points that define this act of the story. As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, we ask ourselves: "If knowledge is power, what are the power dynamics between Celaena, Chaol, and Nehemia?" With 13 years of combined academic training and two literary lenses, we analyze how Sarah J. Maas uses foreshadowing, symbolism, imagery, plot devices, and metaphor to elevate the tension between love and loyalty, duty and desire. In this episode, we discuss: – Dorian's terrifying awakening to magic and what it means to be powerful yet powerless – Celaena's romantic vulnerability and symbolic gesture of recreating Rena Goldsmith's legend for Chaol – The shifting tides of Chaol's morality as he balances oaths to the king and his love for Celaena – The heartbreaking confrontation between Nehemia and Celaena that reframes heroism, cowardice, and choice – The quiet horror of Elena's manipulation and the hidden cost of keeping Celaena in the dark From broom closets to broomsticks, rooftop confessions to explosive arguments, this episode lays the groundwork for the heartbreak ahead, because even love cannot survive when truth is a weapon and power is kept behind locked doors. This is Part 12 of Episode 5 as we follow the fallout and examine the consequences of silence, sacrifice, and betrayal.

In this first half of our two-part deep dive into chapters 22–26 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, we explore the emotional, political, and romantic tipping points that define this act of the story. As secrets unravel and loyalties shift, we ask ourselves: "If knowledge is power, what are the power dynamics between Celaena, Chaol, and Nehemia?" With 13 years of combined academic training and two literary lenses, we analyze how Sarah J. Maas uses foreshadowing, symbolism, imagery, plot devices, and metaphor to elevate the tension between love and loyalty, duty and desire. In this episode, we discuss: – Dorian's terrifying awakening to magic and what it means to be powerful yet powerless – Celaena's romantic vulnerability and symbolic gesture of recreating Rena Goldsmith's legend for Chaol – The shifting tides of Chaol's morality as he balances oaths to the king and his love for Celaena – The heartbreaking confrontation between Nehemia and Celaena that reframes heroism, cowardice, and choice – The quiet horror of Elena's manipulation and the hidden cost of keeping Celaena in the dark From broom closets to broomsticks, rooftop confessions to explosive arguments, this episode lays the groundwork for the heartbreak ahead, because even love cannot survive when truth is a weapon and power is kept behind locked doors. This is Part 1 of Episode 5. Join us Thursday for Part 2 as we follow the fallout and examine the consequences of silence, sacrifice, and betrayal.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: A Far Better Thing: “2025 - it was the worst of times, it was the worst of times” When was the last time you picked up a one of the "classic" books for fun? Has it been a while? Was it required reading that you were tested on at the end? Keep those answers in mind as you join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie in discussing A Far Better Thing by H.G. Parry. A reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities, this story sees the reader encountering now only the classic characters like Sydney and Lucie but also fairies, goblins, and kings. Meeting your Changeling is something that is not done, but when Sydney meets not only his Changeling but his childhood loves as well, plots are revealed and past crimes must be paid for with blood. ACOFAE also touches on accessibility, required reading, retellings, and movies that borrow from the classics. "I don't know this man."
