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.

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?

125: Persia, Poetry and Politics in "Martyr!"
"Martyr!" is an interesting collision of poetry and political identity that produces a unique narrative that also encompasses addiction and grief. What makes a "good death" is the central topic explored. And it's not everyone's cup of chai.

124: Anticipating Outer Space on the Silver Screen with "Project Hail Mary"
Andy Weir is having a second outer space book adapted for film, and this time it's "Project Hail Mary." This story may have one of the best sidekick characters of all time. Is it worth it for those who aren't fans of sci-fi?
