Our OG recommender Allesandra told us about Eleanor Oliphant so we knew we had to give it a read! The thing is.... Johnna, a host of this cast, ALSO told the other ladies about Eleanor Oliphant.

Special Bonus Episode! We uncovered the lost, original recording of our first episode: Malice by Danielle Steel.

Brooklyn by Colm Toibin 1:24:54

1y ago1:24:54

1:24:54

Fan Alessandra Rosso needed us to confirm whether this NYT bestseller was actually trash because the main character “could have been replaced by a potted plant and I am not sure it would have changed the story.” And it’s a short book? About BROOKLYN (where we all live/have lived)?? Consider it read. Mean Book Club is four ladies (UCB, BuzzFeed, Col…

Supermarket by Logic with Joey Price 1:22:33

1y ago1:22:33

1:22:33

Thank you to our Icelandic listener Jessic Lyn Webb who told us that this NYT bestseller was “truly the most heinous misjustice to storytelling I have every had the pain of reading,” and included lots of borderline harmful takes on mental illness.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune 1:15:24

1:15:24

TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea. An "enchanting story, masterfully told" or "a book that tries so hard to be quirky and twee it makes me want to throw it into the Atlantic Ocean."

Guest Dan Savage on: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask by David Reuben 1:17:44

1y ago1:17:44

1:17:44

THE sex manual of 1969 (yeah baby) is also one of the all time best selling books EVER in America. Yeah, if you were breathing in 1969, odds are: YOU READ THIS BOOK. But is it a radical, liberal education on "fun sex" or a truly disturbing attack on women, aging, and homosexuality that you cannot even FIND in libraries today? We have award-winning …

Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton and James Patterson with Guest Leo Allen 1:43:44

1y ago1:43:44

1:43:44

Again listener Ashleigh C convinced us to read a Patterson book because Dolly Parton co-wrote it as “it’s very loosely autobiographical.” So we took on 17-week NYT bestseller by Dolly Parton and James Patterson. There’s a companion country album? Yes please. We also have special guest - comedian, showrunner and fellow Pennsylvanian Leo Allen, the m…

But yes Ashleigh, Sarah was mad it wasn’t horny the whole time. We also have special guest - comedian and actress Caroline Cotter, who has appeared on late night shows from Conan to Late Night with …
