ITS SEASON TWO BITCHES!!!!!
Our Literary Hills to Die On -- We begin with a clean slate as the hosts reveal they've officially shuttered their original podcast to fully focus on their current bookish journey. Exciting developments are on the horizon, including interest from a PR company that could bring author interviews to future episodes.
The main conversation dives deep into our "literary hills to die on"—the books we consider absolute perfection and will defend against any criticism. From unanimous adoration for Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series to passionate defenses of Madeline Miller's Circe, V.E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addy LaRue, and Donna Tartt's The Secret History, their selections span genres while revealing deeply personal connections to each story. These aren't just favorite books; they're the titles that have shaped their reading journeys, offered comfort during reading slumps, and occasionally moved them to tears.
The conversation weaves through fantasy, gothic romance, literary fiction, and nostalgic YA picks, highlighting how the most devoted readers often transcend genre boundaries in pursuit of exceptional storytelling. What emerges is a heartfelt testament to literature's power to define us, change us, and create a sanctuary we can return to again and again.
Have a favorite book you'd defend with your last breath? Share your literary hill to die on with us and don't forget to rate and review wherever you listen to podcasts!
