2024/11/04

Out of the Spook-ish books and into the frying pan or something like that... This week we have shed our horror skin for a queer gothic retelling of Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Some of you might argue that we haven't strayed too far from our previous spooky reads and you'd be right, we're bridging that gap before Christmas and we have no regrets! Join us as we record on Halloween night to talk all things mushrooms, guisers and all hallows eve traditions!

Spook-ish! S1E7: Hereditary (2018) Directed by Ari Aster

2024/10/21

For the last of our spook-ish films we have a treat for you! Not only does this one actually stick with Liv but we've welcomed our first (and maybe only) guest for the episode - Laura! (A name that rivals the fame of Cher)Amy, Liv & Laura talk all things Hereditary in order to piece together what actually happens and together they discover the true meaning of horror films; talking about them to death until they're not scary anymore... that and establishing the fact that Toni Collette is the

Boo! What's more scary than technical difficulties? Well, nothing in our opinion! This episode, some pesky spooks have been haunting our files and made one disappear entirely! Apologies the ep ends rather abruptly although you do only miss our final thoughts which as you know is a rambling summary of the prevous discussion! Next ep we will be chatting about Slewfoot by Brom. Please join us then for the penultimate Spook-ish offering x

Spook-ish! S1E4: The Cinnamon Bun Book Store by...

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2024/09/30

We can't think of anything more horrifying or skin crawling than a bad sequel. Especially when the first one was pretty meh to begin with! We're back in Dream Harbour reading the exploits of a female main character with all the personality of a wet shoe and her romantic partner who gets all the character development and backstory of the FMC. Amy reckons this will be the episode that we lose you all... if that is the case, it's been a hell of a ride but have a listen and try to tell us we're wrong

2024/09/23

Grab your caving gear, your traitorous husband stealing BFF and your creature killing climbing axe... drop them all at the side of your sofa and snuggle in a blanket as we watch the 2005 creature feature from the director of Dog Soldiers. Amy & Liv continue to travel through the horror annals in an attempt to convert our wimpy chimp co-founder into becoming a real horror savant. Or at the very least, let her husband watch horrors regularly and not only when she's away. Descend (heh) with us

Spook-ish! S1E2: The Luminaries by Susan Dennard

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2024/09/16

oOoOoOoOooOO!! We kicked off our new series last week with a horror movie but this time we're back doing what we (like to think) we do best....talking about books! We've chosen a monster-filled offering for our first Spook-ish read of the season, The Luminaries by Susan Dennard. Join us as we delve into the forest of Hemlock Falls and ponder over the mind-bending mystery, just who is the werewolf that is causing all the chaos?! *cough Jay Friday cough*

Boo! Kicking off a separate spooky section of the Pod, get it? Spook-ish? Tough crowd. Anyway, Amy is tempting Liv into the world of Horror films. Bi-weekly watchings will be reported throughout the season of the witch with a softer start before pushing us off the cliff straight into pants-shitting waters. And we can all listen together as Liv slips slowly into insomnia. So, turn up the lights, leave the curtains open or you may never sleep again! Music from #Uppbeat (free for

Episode 17: Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas

2024/09/02

Did you miss our scathing and cut-throat commentary?! Well buckle in as we're back this week with another episode where we do NOT hold back! This week we delve into the murkey world of dark romance and ponder over society's biggest questions including if there any limits as to what can be used as a sex toy... If you hadn't already guessed, this one is explicit and the book itself has a looong list of trigger warnings so please read these before jumping in. Love yas x

Episode 16: Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent

2024/08/26

We're back in our respective comfort zones this week with another fantasy romance offering by Carissa Broadbent. Join us as we discuss her lesser known series The War of Lost Hearts. The plot is plotting with this one so we wash it down with several glasses of red wine. Will this make us any less critical?! Listen and find out!

Episode 15: Belladonna by Adalyn Grace

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2024/08/19

This weeks episode slips down as easy as a dose of poison, though the effects are far less messy, we hope. It appears that Amy & Liv have woken on the wrong side of the bed this episode as nothing seems to be good enough. Belladonna is a gothic, mystery romance where the villain FOR SURE has a sexy face and a male appendage ... we just never get to see it. Maybe in the sequel?

Episode 14: The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

2024/08/12

Who's that peering through the keyhole? Oh, it's just Amy & Liv here to inspect the secret attic room you've got that locks from the outside and your inability to stop speaking Spanish to the Italian gardener... all key plots that are discussed in this episode all about the TikTok thriller sensation, The Housemaid. Will this be a hit with the hosts or will they be ordering themselves some salmon un baguette to go?

2024/08/05

Oooooh baby! This week we've read not one but two MM sports romance books with spice hot enough to melt the ice! Join us as we slide on in (wink, wink) to the NHL and meet rival ice hockey superstars Shane and Ilya. This one was almost too hot for Spotify so our lovely Patreon besties will also get bonus content where we talk in great detail about the scenes that had us fanning our brows! *insert 10 fire emojis* Enjoy!

Episode 12: The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black...

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2024/07/29

Carrying on from last week, Amy and Liv discuss The Wicked King and The Queen of Nothing, wrapping up this much beloved series. Whilst you can't see it, we can guarantee you there's plenty of leg kicking and so much character bashing of a certain twin sister. From the 55 minute mark there is some interference for a few minutes, for which we apologise, but if you've listened that far, please do persevere! ALSO; next week we'll be reading Heated Rivalry and the Long Game by Rachel

2024/07/22

Now for something a little bit different. Amy & Liv reread one of their favourite series - part 1 will cover Book 1, The Cruel Prince, so expect plenty of gushing over pointy, rude, cake-starved men and relentless, strong and yet self-hating women. Part 2 will drop next week, covering The Wicked King and The Queen of Nothing. Strap in as we take a flight over the ocean to Faerieland.

We're baaaacckkk! Missed us? Well, we have certainly missed you! After a slightly longer than planned hiatus, we are back with a bang and discussing the TikTok phenomenon that is Powerless by Lauren Roberts. It's a fantasy-romance trope-a-palooza but were we all over it or just over it (see what we did there?) Listen to find out!

2024/04/29

Reading Dystopian Fiction? That's so 2008-2011, well we're bringing it back with this banger. Totally stuffed full (as you can tell by the length of it) of really terrifying real-life comparisons, theories that'll blow you away and as always more tangents than you can shake a dystopian stick at!
