This book is everywhere so Katie finally gave in and immediately started a Reddit argument. Campy, rife with misogyny, reminiscent of an early 2000's teen girl series - it's something when Katie recommends Fourth Wing over another book. Just read for the vibes, man.The Zodiac Academy: The AwakeningBut, seriously, read A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik or The Cruel Prince by Holly Black instead.
Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda finish their coverage of "Never Keep," book 1 in the Sins of the Zodiac series by the Twisted Sisters - Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. While the hosts' reaction to the book so far is mixed, they can agree on a couple of things: The ending was typical Twisted Sisters craziness and they want more. So listen now to get all the deets.

It's not a deep dive—just a bookish hangout session where nothing is off-limits (except maybe spoilers for Book 6). Whether you're Team Vega, shipping the chaos, or just here for the fae drama, this one's for you. Let's chat! ✨

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda wrap up their coverage of "Alpha Wolf," book 2 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Darkmore Penitentiary series. While the book started off a little slow, it definitely ramps up at the end with typical Twisted Sisters chaos that includes: Plans going awry, unexpected deaths, and new traps to prevent the prisoners from leaving the most dangerous prison in Solaria.NOTE: DO NOT Google star-nosed mole unless you want to be traumatized for life.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss part 1 of "Caged Wolf," book 1 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Darkmore Penitentiary series. That's right - they're back in the Twisted Sisters' world of Solaria, but this time with Rosalie Oscura as she tries to break out of the infamous fae prison. While Darkmore Penitentiary is a stand alone series, we HIGHLY recommend having read Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac and Zodiac Academy so that you understand all of the Easter Eggs the Sisters leave, and you don't get mad at the hosts for talking about the previous books, which they do.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss the latest series from Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, "A Game of Malice and Greed." Described as an Aladdin and Rapunzel retelling, this book isn't what you'd expect from the sisters, and our hosts have THOUGHTS. Also, we stand by the pronunciation "Key-rah" and not "Keye-ra."
This week, Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda conclude their discussion on the Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series with their recap of book 5 "Warrior Fae." In true Twisted Sisters fashion, the final book contains lots of sexy time, at least one fakeout death that'll destroy you before you realize it's a fakeout, and we get the answer to the question we've all been asking: How do Harpies seal the mating bond? Oh and we find out who King is.

Join Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda as they discuss "Vicious Fae," book 3 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series. Not only do the action and the spice heat up in this book, but we get a cameo from our favorite pitball playing vampire - before he became the grupy, a-hole professor that we know and love. But the book's unexpected ending wrings a startling confession from one of our hosts. Can you still listen without judging her?
Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss "Savage Fae," book 2 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac series. The best words to describe this book would be "murder and lust," because as Elise continues her search for her brother's killer, she gets real close to her four suspects. But do you blame her?
Happy New Year! Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are back, this time with "Dark Fae," Book 1 of Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, the prequel series to Zodiac Academy by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. Did you read ZA and wonder who the girl with the lilac hair that keeps popping up is? And why is that Carson guy covered in Disney tattoos? How did Noxy and Orio become best friends? You'll get all your answers ... eventually - it is a 5-book series.

They talk about them ALL the time, so it makes sense that they would finally talk to them! In this very special bonus episode, Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda speak with the Twisted Sisters themselves, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. They chat all about Zodiac Academy books 8 and 9, plus all the other series they're cooking up for us to agonize over. SPOILER WARNING: Lots of details about current books are revealed ... and dare we say it ... the words "demon vagina," are uttered. You know this is worth listening to.
Hello loves! This week we talked about The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L Armentrout and we loved it! If you want to see our book looks head on over to our tiktok: @blues.library and our instagram: @blues.library and @blues.librarypodcast (we are phasing out of @blues.librarypodcast) or our webiste: blues-library.com! Please rate, follow and leave a review! We will catch you next week with Zodiac Academy 1: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti!
Well, this is it. Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are finally wrapping up part 3 of "Heartless Sky," book 7 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. And if the ending isn't traumatizing enough for you, Bridget does her shadow heir impression of "Hello, daddy." You'll never be okay again. Make sure you have wine, ice cream, and/or chocolate ready to console you.
Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda are back with part 2 of 3 of their discussion on "Heartless Sky," book 7 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. Anticipating that they'd have to discuss the heartwrenching ending, our hosts drank a little too much wine and well ... here we are. We hope we help you get your laughs in before the tears start.
Our favorite podcast trio thought they could fit their recap of "Heartless Sky" - book 7 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series - into 2 episodes, but it actually ended up being 3 (oops!). So grab your wine, tissues, and make sure your therapist is on speed dial before tuning in. WARNING: If curiosity gets the best of you and you must Google some of the scenes mentioned, we suggest you do it in private or incognito mode and not from work! We cannot be held responsible if you start getting some unusual ads.
Grab a big glass of wine (or caffeine water) and join our favorite podcast trio to discuss "Fated Throne," book 6 of Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. Fun fact: If you thought you hated Lionel before, his behavior in book 6 will make you despise him even more. Seriously ... f*ck that guy!
This week on A Novel Console, Chris and Karradyne celebrate their 2nd year of A Novel Console! They reminisce over the features guests and all the changes that came to the show. Karradyne confesses she got emotional over Bob's Burgers, and Chris shares his enthusiasm over twerking She-Hulk. Karradyne then forfeits all of her magic when she reads The Awakening, Zodiac Academy 1 by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. Afterwards, Chris looses his Pikmin when he finishes Pikmin for the Nintendo Wii. They finish the show with a sub-par meal from Twisted Root Burger.anovelconsole@gmail.comFacebook.com/anovelconsoleTwitter.com/anovelconsoleInstagram: @anovelconsolePatreon.com/anovelconsoleOther Streaming Platforms:anovelconsole.carrd.coSupport the show
Join our favorite masochistic booktoking trio - Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda - as they discuss "Cursed Fates," book 5 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's beloved Zodiac Academy series. WARNING: Book 5 is a punch to the gut and tears will be shed. It doesn't matter how many hot, distracting sexy-time scenes the sisters throw in - nothing can prepare you for the pain, heartache, and injustice that happens in this book. Do you think we can get a group therapy discount yet?
Booktok's own Listen with Britt joins Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda to discuss "Shadow Princess," book 4 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. This super-size episode includes the recap of one of the most heartbreaking cliffhangers in the series, but we try to liven it up by getting Britt's picks for her "Why Choose" list, and she introduces us to the "Why Not" genre. So "why not" go ahead and give this episode a listen?
Bridget, Caitlin, Hilda and special guest host Colleen discuss Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's "The Reckoning," book 3 in the Zodiac Academy series. Listen to hear all about Lance (and Darcy), the developing Tory/Caleb/Darius love triangle, and most importantly, what happens when Washer tries to take over the sexual education for fae class with his bag of toys. *CRINGE*
Caitlin, Hilda, and Bridget (who couldn't stay away for long) discuss "Ruthless Fae," book 2 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. While Caitlin and Bridget won't let Hilda dedicate the entire episode to fawning over him, there's plenty of Lance Orion worship, plus appreciation for the pranks played on the heirs (especially #hornyforthehorn) and most importantly, Lionel slander - because that overgrown iguana with anger-management issues just plain sucks.
This week, I chat with Lindsey (@bookbestielindsey) who is now officially MY book bestie Lindsey and the rest of you can just get in line. We chatted all about the Twisted Sisters, @carolinepeckham and @susanne_valenti, and tried (poorly) to stay on topic with the Harlequin Crew series, but clearly we are obsessed with all things written by this dynamic sister duo and a few of their others may have slipped in there MANY times. We also chatted about our love for a pregnancy trope, what IRL trope she is, the ideal harem number, and how our friendship almost ended before it started because SOMEONE might be on the wrong Twilight team (for shame).

So with this episode, Hilda finally has a reason to discuss Lance Orion all the time, because Caitlin, special guest-host Colleen (filling in for Bridget who's on maternity leave) and Hilda are discussing "The Awakening" and "The Awakening: As Told by the Boys," books 1 and 9 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's beloved-on-booktok series, Zodiac Academy. Get ready to hear why Solaria has such a grip on us, and why we can't get enough of this series, even though the Twisted Sisters love to break our hearts.

It's time to talk about the bully romance Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. These Gemini twins are in for the fight of their life when they get whisked away to a brutal Fae Academy where only the strong flourish. Their worst bullies are the ones who sit on their deceased parent's throne and will do anything to keep them down. We rated the heat level in this book as all the way. We spend a lot of our time in this discussion just talking about the bully romance. We have varying degrees of experience with the theme and it was a really interesting discussion. What do you think of bulky romances? Why do you think they are so popular? We would love to hear what you think!
