Okay we’re gonna rocket through the recap of episodes 221 and 222 of Lore Olympus in record time, just over ten minutes, because there’s STILL NOTHING HAPPENING. I kid, I kid. EXCEPT NOT REALLY. We love this webcomic to bits, the artwork is top notch, and the relationship between Hades and Persephone is the most
This week’s Night Vale recap has a lot of fan art requests and T-shirt moments, but it’s also us just being flat out amazed that Cecil can get interrupted by his kid every five minutes and it’s always stress free. It’s not saccharine, it’s not annoying, it’s not even a little frustrating; Cecil Baldwin just
Happy Thanksgiving! (Or, if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, Happy Thursday!) Somehow after last week’s recording we got on the subject of cookbooks, specifically the “Little House on the Prairie” cookbook that we checked out from the library a dozen times before we got smart and bought our own copies. And that led to a discussion
This week was one of those Night Vale recaps where we took way too many notes and got dangerously close to just repeating the episode word for word because it was so, freaking, CLEVER.

The dead don’t walk. Except, sometimes, when they do. It’s a day early for my usual weekly book review, but Halloween is the perfect day to review a new(ish) novella by T. Kingfisher that was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher”. It’s not one of my favorite Poe short stories
She will bring death and destruction to all the enclaves in the world. The final book of Namoi Novik’s Scholomance trilogy picks up where Book 2 left off. Galadriel “El” Higgins, destined to be a force of destruction, has instead helped to save her fellow students, from the most terrified freshman to every well-connected graduate.
So what’s Apollo up to? How is Demeter going to mess things up for Hades and Persephone? Did Aphrodite get married to Hephaestus when she threw over Ares, or someone else? And where’s Psyche been this entire time that the mortal realm was cut off from Olympus? You’d think we’d be happy with the story
Our rule was, nobody knowingly left behind… The third book is out in Tamsyn Muir’s Locked Tomb trilogy…which is, surprise, no longer a trilogy! Midway through writing the final book in the series the author realized that she now had a character who needed an entire book devoted to her story. Book Two ended with
