135: Is "Big Swiss" a Big Miss?
There's no good way to describe "Big Swiss" succinctly. It's a bizarre adventure in trauma recovery with an unpredictable main character and a torrid affair. Is the absurdity of the story worth the time?

134: Chinese Myth in "Daughter of the Moon Goddess"
The Busy Girls Book Club loves a good retelling/reimagining of a classic myth. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is based in a Chinese myth about the woman on the moon, but the novel gives it a big spin. It's an epic adventure tale, but very wholesome. But is it worth 500 pages?

131: Has Ali Hazelwood Gone off the "Deep End"?
Yes, we're doing it. If you've seen the cover or read the disclaimer at the front, you know what we're getting into with Ali Hazelwood's "Deep End." And you know that Casey refuses to read any more from that author, so we invited her best friend Leighton to join us instead!

130: "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" Open to Interpretation
It's been a while since we did some thriller/horror, so this listener request was a fun one. Short and sweet, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" takes readers on a wild ride. And the hosts may not fall where you think in terms of reviews.

128: Something to Say in "Sunrise on the Reaping"
Suzanne Collins is so back. Haymitch's games bring us back to the world of Hunger Games, and boy is it a doozy. Can we still find love in the YA dystopian we were raised on?
