2021/11/09

A Deadly Education has been described as a "dark Harry Potter" story. However, there is really no way to compare this story to other books.

The Dystopian genre has since ebbed and flowed in popularity, but will always have had an impact on many of our reading tastes. In this week's episode, Chelsea and Taryn discuss some of their favorite and least favorite Dystopian novels. If they missed any of your favorites, send them a message

Chelsea and Taryn are back with another fairy tale episode! In this magical episode, your hosts are diving into “The Frog Prince” by the Grimm brothers and “The Piper and the Pooka” from one of Chelsea’s Irish fairy tale books.

2021/08/31

Chelsea and Taryn have loved Greek mythology ever since they read their first Percy Jackson book in elementary school. So, of course, they were excited to read another book that dives into the complexities of the family relationships on Mount Olympus. In this story, Zeus gets frustrated at the other Olympians for interfering too much in human affairs (which is funny coming from him, but whatever). As a result, he curses them to spend one week every seven years on Earth as mortals. But there’s a

It is pretty special when three different people fall in love with the same book. T.J. Klune manages to weave a practically perfect tale in his 2020 book, The House in the Cerulean Sea. Following a caseworker for magical children sent on a potentially dangerous assignment, this book brings you face to face with prejudice and fear while also showing you the joy and growth that comes from acceptance and hope.
