Episode 70: When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/11/05

Well Nat Cassidy, I hope you're proud of yourself - it's not unlike Amy and I to get deep and emotional on the podcast but we definitely went deeper and sadder than we ever have and it's all your fault. Happy belated Halloween - this week we talk all things parental issues, masking is just shapeshifting for boring humans and how therapy made Nat Cassidy write a book and probably become a well adjusted member of society. We stan a therapy king #therapygirliesEnjoy and see you next week

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/10/06

Kicking off spooky season with a literary classic that shaped the gothic horror genre. There's so much rain and we try to add our own unique thoughts to a book that has already been over analysed for years. Expect, some wanking chat, us attempting to make everyone gay and as always Stars in their Eyes references. Happy Reading! Liv x

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/09/29

We're back!!! Apologies for our longer than planned break (and the likely terrible edit to explain why in this episode...) but we are back and raring to go! This week, we accidentally read literary fiction and...enjoyed it!? It's time for another "TikTok Sensation" but this time expect less dragons, spice and shadow daddies and a lot more terrifying existential-crisis inducing questions. Enjoy! Amy x

Episode 66: Arcana Academy by Elise Kova

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/09/01

The author of the Air Awakens series and the Married to Magic series, comes the first in a suspected trilogy, maybe a duology about Tarot Card magic in an academy setting, with a fake engagement, a missing sister, an evil king, an evil brother, a heist and a bunch of other tropes along with some one dimensional side characters lumped in to make this 600 page book feel like an epic. Sorry guys, not the one for us this week - maybe it's time for us to lay off Romantasy for a while ey?

Episode 65: Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/08/25

Don't listen to this one if you're eating! This week we sink our teeth into (heh) a dystopian nightmare where canibalism is not only legal but industrialised. There are so many trigger warnings for this one so please take a listen to these before diving into the discussion. We're back in the bosom of romantasy next week so if this isn't your bag, join us for that instead! x

Episode 64: The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/08/18

This week, we're completing our thoughts on Holly Black's Stolen Heir duology and boy are we glad to see the back of it!You will hear some pretty tough comparisons about the writing, genuine anger at plotholes and true despair at the unmaking (heh) of OG plots. I think you can actually hear Liv's depression consume her at one point in the episode. And alas, there is more hoof chat. Next week is more fun, Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica!

Remember last summer when we recorded a 2 parter about The Folk of the Air Series? Well good because this week, we're back in Elfhame and to celebrate, we've treated you to another double bill! In this first part, we chat for far too long about Oak's hooves and the possible wider implications these may have... clip clop, clip clop!

Episode 62: Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/08/04

Join us this week for our first ever THROWBACK episode. Reading a book we both loved from the early 00s and hoping we still love it. *Spoiler Alert* It's as ugly as it's name and we're ashamed of our 13/14 year old selves for championing it so utterly. Young Liv and Amy have a lot to answer for...

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/07/21

Is anyone there? Hello? Are we reading the same thing? Does anyone understand? This week we struggle through trying to sound like we know what we're talking about as we discuss time travel, inevitable love stories and pornographic feelings without a single genital touch.This is indeed, how we lose the podcast war... probably.

Episode 58: With a Vengeance by Riley Sager

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/07/07

What do you do when an author has convinced you that this book isn't a who-dunnit but in fact a who-didn't-actually-do-it? This week, Liv gets very angry at plot points that make no sense, Amy guffaws at the availability of special effects knowledge of the 1950s and once again we learn our lesson on letting Amy pick books. Enjoy! Cos we certainly didn't.

Page Turners: A Bookish Podcast ·

2025/06/30

Another day, another sapphic vampire romp being read by the Page Turners girlies. We have been waiting to chat about this one but did it live up to our lofty expectations? We cover women's rights (and wrongs), dodgy Scottish internal monologues and 1... 2... 3.... very unreliable narrators!

They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom! Mel Gibson and his questionable character aside - this week we're donning our tartan and painting our faces with the saltire. We discuss how refreshing it is to not have to lean on trope talk, Scottish independence and frankly a pretty mean review!

Can philosophy ever be made interesting? We're still searching for that answer even now.
