02/13/23 • 39 min

Since there are no rules in love and war we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with something a little different.

We’re talking about the self love required to put a book down, the stories we can’t help but adore and the ethics of unusual relationships.

We’re also talking about a whole lot of stories: Underbelly, The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham, Polysecure by Jessica Fern, The Invisible Life Of Addie La Rue by V.E. Schwab, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Chocolat by Joanne Harris, 1999’s cinematic masterpiece The Mummy, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh, Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado, House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson, The Blair Witch Project and last, but certainly not least, Wolf Creek.

Holly is realising that she really isn’t into romance novels and Harley is looking for next year’s v-day cohost.

Previous Episode

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

This week we’re reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

We’re talking chronic illness, platonic love and coming of age.

We’re also talking the trauma we ignore, the family we choose and the history of video games.

Holly’s not entirely sure what a game engine is and Harley is throwing her word of the day calendar in the bin.

Next Episode

Prince Harry Drives Us Spare

This week we’re reading Spare by some bloke called Haz (you may know him as Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex).

We mention in the show that this episode is a spare or bonus episode however like an extra getting a speaking role just for being in the right place at the right time it got promoted when some scheduling issues arose.

We’re talking way too much information about his frosty todger, the intense violence with no trigger warnings and the overdose of self-pity.

We’re also talking the reality that not every animal is trying to send the future former prince a message (unless it’s smoke less weed), the realities of older siblings and the frustrating lack of self-awareness throughout this book.

Harley regrets listening to the audiobook instead of speed reading the damn thing, Holly regrets even putting this on the to-read list, neither of us can manage strong feelings about Meghan Markle.
