Ep. 15 - I Married A Lizardman by Regine Abel
Ok, so we're a little late. Maybe Chloe is too burnt out and maybe JC is too hyped for Chile to focus. But that doesn't stop us from discussing the socio-economic inspiration for some lizards or the ways in which maybe our FMC is reinventing the South African Boer lie.
Ep. 14 - A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
A book about the worst man in the world honorably fighting against the horrors of socialized healthcare.

Ep. 4 - Nauti Boy by Lora Leigh

Ep. 3 - Crossed by Emily McIntire
Chloe is here to share her insane Hunchback of Notre Dame retelling while simultaneously trying to break the records for the most f bombs in a podcast.

Hello hello, we are just two readers tired of relating the plots of books at one another. We desire an outlet for these books that put a little worm in our brains.
