Happy Halloween!!! We hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween night, but don't forget to go to the store tomorrow and buy a ton of 99% off candy. Grab a suit and join our guide Gyre in these wonderful caves for an adventure into the deep dark depths of your mind with The Luminous Dead. We all float down here...in the water that has flooded some of the tunnels, of course. If you love tight squeezes through solid rock, a maze of tunnels that only lead to more tunnels or tunnelers..., and creepy glowing spores that may or may not be psychedelic in nature, then we have the trip for you! And you would get paid to do it! We're sorry in advance for being idiots, but you probably already knew we were going into this so expect the expected.
Don't forget, Next month's book club selection is Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto. We will be back in 2 weeks for more book-talk! Until then, happy reading!

Episode 132: Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum
Welcome to the bookends bookshop! We record once-ish a month over here in this corner, our shelves are stocked with mostly fantasy fiction, and we have a James Dashner book-club that meets everyday. On this week's episode we day dream about quitting our jobs to start a bookshop. We are guided through that journey by Hwang Bo-Reum with experiences and platitudes to keep us motivated and excited to make our dreams come true. Was the lack of overarching plot or slow pacing not your favorite or did this read like a wonderful therapy session with the backdrop of a cozy book store? Let us know your thoughts!
We will be back soon for more book-talk! Until then, happy reading!

Episode 131: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
We promise that we are still a podcast and will someday get back on a normal bi-weekly schedule! But for now we recording on a when-we-can basis. Good news, we could this week!! And we are talking all things Legendborn. An Arthurian YA fantasy adventure with a twist. Tracy is incredible at writing grief and the daily fight that entails. We question why anyone would like Nick, who in the order, if any, is a good person and how Bree's troubles with the order are just beginning. Then we spend some mouth watering minutes craving Bo-berry biscuits. And who is Fitz again?
We will be back soon for more book-talk! Until then, happy reading!

Episode 129: Argylle by Elly Conway(?)
It's book week!! And we have brought you the curious case of a mystery author and the hollywood blockbuster they are hoping for. Argylle is a spy thriller linked with a newly released major motion picture, loaded with A list stars. We are starting with the source material written by the elusive Elly Conway, who may or may not be an AI chat bot, but who has definitely helped create a shared universe for Agent Aubrey Argylle to save again and again. We discuss topics like the super interesting true history that lays the foundation for Argylle's first mission, the book's connection with its movie counterpart, and how the author of this book may have called their own shot in real real life. And make sure to let us know all your thoughts on the book and/or movie!!
We will be back soon for more book-talk! Until then, happy reading!
