HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are so excited to be back and continuing with The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. This is a rollercoaster of a book, and just when we think we're starting to unravel the mystery, connect the puzzle pieces, and work things out, a new wrench is thrown into the system. But no matter! We are confident we are going to breeze through the rest of this book without any troubles!In our "updates" segment of the Pod, we mention some of our favorite bookish content

Somehow, we feel like Erwin from The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins would fit right in with us and our Pod that's full of sass and sarcasm. Does he say some incredibly offensive things? Absolutely. But is he sassy about it? 1,000,000,000% yes! And we love that for him. We're also sort of getting to the point where we maybe might know a little bit about what's going on. Usually we'd apologize for only going through one chapter, but in our defense this chapter was

Episode 49: Scheming Schemer Who Scheme Schemes

2025/12/06

As we continue to delve into the confusing world of The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, there is one thing that we know for sure: Carolyn is a schemer, and we don't really trust her. Why is she always looking at what other librarians are doing? Why is she pretending so hard that her fingers tremble? Why can't Michael die yet? More and more questions are unfolding, but we have no answers. Perhaps this is all part of Carolyn's scheme?Find us on Facebook at A Pod of Sass and SarcasmFollow us on

Let us be perfectly clear here: we still have no idea what is happening in The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, but we're ever so curious and it's far too late to turn back now. This week, we talk about dead ones, bullets, bulls, and of course we get introduced to Steve. We're learning not to get too attached to any of the characters, and we definitely don't trust them. We can't wait for all of these mysterious pieces to start piecing themselves together. Maybe next week

Hey nerds! It's good to be back for a brand new season of the pod! This season, we are reading The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, and it's a doozy! Do we know what's happening? Nope. Do we have an idea of where it's going? Absolutely not. Are we morbidly curious? Always. Will we keep reading? 100% yes!

Episode 46: Anticlimactic Much?

A Pod of Sass and Sarcasm ·

2025/11/01

Well, we finally finished One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, and we're left feeling just a little confused about how we feel. We didn't think it was possible to be so disgruntled about so many things in a book, and yet still wanting to read more. It's a new and strange thing we're trying to process, but we think a little break is appropriate to get some perspective and to go into the second book with a healthier mindset. For now, most of our questions are answered and the ones that

2025/10/25

As we enter Part III of One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, we are finding ourselves with arguably more questions than when we started this book (which is saying a lot because we have had SOOOOOOOO many questions this whole time). The frustration is mounting, and we're discovering that we have little patience for unintelligent main characters, especially the ones who are as high and mighty as Elspeth. But we're this close to the end, so we might as well right this frustrating wave through to

Luckily we have a very brief moment of levity before things get heavy again in One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig. How do we still have questions at this point? Well, we do, and we can't wait to start getting some answers! All we know is that Elm is our favorite sass master, and even the Nightmare could take some notes.Find us on Facebook at A Pod of Sass and SarcasmFollow us on Instagram @a_pod_of_sassCheck out our Story Graph @aposasDonate to our Patreon at patreon.com/apodofsassandsarcasmSend

Episode 43: All Claws and No Consequences

A Pod of Sass and Sarcasm ·

2025/10/11

Our main takeaway from this set of chapters from One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig is that we loved the horrors of these scenes and wish we had seen them sooner! The violence, the danger, the jagged edges, and the fragility of it all is teetering off balance, and we are ready for an even bigger explosion to happen. But if we've learned anything, it's that Elm is right for not trusting Elspeth, and of course nobody listens to him.Find us on Facebook at A Pod of Sass and SarcasmFollow us on

BONUS: Looking into the Trees of One Dark Window

2025/10/04

What an exciting way to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the pod! We finally looked up information about the trees that the families of Blunder in One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig are named after, and we think we have found a lot of insight into who the characters are and why they behave in certain ways. This was really neat to do, and we were so glad for the opportunity! Maybe there will be another bonus episode in the future that looks into the trees, flowers, and plants we missed in this one

YET AGAIN Ian's predictions come true, and Ravyn and Elspeth get it ON in the ruins at Castle Yew. As we continue further into One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, we are getting more nervous about the "what ifs" to come, and we're not even sure we understand everything that's happning now.

What doesn't happen in this week's episode? It starts with Elspeth falling off a horse and ends with a budding romance. In between, of course, all hell breaks loose, a prophecy begins to take shape, and another comes true. There are so many twists and turns, and we're not sure if we can trust anyone, not John Thistle, not the Nightmare, perhaps not Ravyn, not Elm, and maybe not even Elspeth. So who is left to trust? What does the mist want with children? And how does one truly become

As we continue with One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, we find ourselves with more questions than answers. Elspeth somehow hasn't starved to death, but girly pop is getting on our last nerve with her shennanigans. We unravel more of the mysteries about the Shepherd King while also learning a bit more about the Yews. Predictions upon predictions come truer than true in this episode, and while we're excited to be proven right, it somehow unsettles us even more. All we know is that a heist is in the

While we both have some qualms, we're still very excited to see where this goes. On whose side is Elspeth? The Nightmare?

This book is a lot more complex than we had originally thought, and we thought it was worth a re-read of everything we've talked about so far to make sure we weren't missing anything (especially since Sara got distracted by other books recently, she needed this refresher). So enjoy us discussing this book and learning some of the insight we overlooked the first time around.

As we continue through One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, we are getting giddy with the budding love story between Elspeth and Ravyn. Their romance promises to be something, and we're here for it. But the intrigue and political games are ramping up, and honestly hot, mysterious boys are not as interesting as backstabbing cousins!

Who knew that love interests were so mysterious, even though every single trope is overdone, cliched, and predictable?

But there's also more magic, more mystery, and more political intrigue that we can't wait to sink our teeth into.Find us on Facebook at A Pod of Sass and SarcasmFollow us on Instagram @a_pod_of_sassCheck out our Story Graph @aposasDonate to our Patreon at
