Ep 70 - A Darker Shade of Magic

53m · Published 03 Apr 05:01

Image a world where there are multiple Londons in separate dimensions; some of lively and gush with magic while others seem to have the color literally fading out of them. And one that was sealed off to protect the others because of magic gone amuck. This is the world V.E. Schwab paints for us in A Darker Shade of Magic where we follow Kell, one of few people who can go between the worlds.

Ep 69 - The Overstory

59m · Published 27 Feb 06:01

There is an old saying about not being able to see the forrest for the trees. In The Overstory, it could be said people can’t see life for the trees with the exception being several random people who are all brought together to fight for trees and to attempt to save the forrest. This month we discuss Richard Power’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel about how saving trees is the only way we can save ourselves.

Ep 62 - Infinite

1h 7m · Published 27 Jun 05:01

When people talk about a book, movie or TV show being a roller coaster, they mean the story usually has lots of action, twists and turns and rarely slows down. Infinite is one of those books. The main character, Wil, wakes up on board the Galahan, a faster-than-light spaceship that is supposed to be taking a small group of scientist to a new world as Earth and Mars are dying. Then he is stabbed with a screwdriver and dies. And that is literally the start of this crazy ride.

Next books will be:

Ep 61 - Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

46m · Published 06 Jun 05:01

Most people know Nick Offerman as the actor who played Ron Swanson, the ultra libertarian parks director on Parks and Recreation. We discussed another book of his a little while back that he wrote with his wife, Megan Mullally, as well as the Audible exclusive books he has done. While the title of his newest book lets you know he will be discussing he thoughts on things he is passionate about, like the environment and hiking, it doesn’t really clue you in on some of his other thoughts he will be sharing, like his political views. Let’s just say if you don’t lean a particular way in your political thinking, you might want to pass this one up.

Next books will be:

June - Infinite by Jeremy Robinson
