This is the one that starts it all. Élaina and Sophia introduce themselves and dive into the book that prompted the birth of this podcast: “Mexican Gothic” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. In this first of two episodes devoted to “Mexican Gothic”, the nerdy duo discuss their relationship with gothic fiction and what they thought about this book in particular.
Please note that this is a spoiler-FULL podcast that discusses the plot and themes of the books we cover, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, go read “Mexican Gothic” and come back to hear our commentary.
CN: Discussions of rape, sexual assault, genocide of indigenous people, and colonial violence.

In Part 1 of their coverage of Akwaeke Emezi’s “The Death of Vivek Oji”, Élaina and Sophia confront their limits as readers and discuss the benefits of reading a book that is not written for them. Oh, and get ready to break down the violent structure of normativity in this novel (because we know how to party).

The Perishing w/Sariah Emmanuel
Bookshelf Remix
08/29/22 • 51 min
Visiting from the land of @bookedsolidpod and @woqmpod, Sariah has joined Élaina to read "The Perishing", a historical speculative fiction novel by Natashia Déon. As season 2 of Bookshelf Remix wraps up, Élaina is very tired and may or may not have completely misread a significant portion of the book. But, fear not, Sariah (and Google) is there to keep her on track and much fun is had.
You should also listen to the original Booked Remix cross-over ep when we discussed Calvin Kasulke's "Several People Are Typing": https://open.spotify.com/episode/3J9JK5NWMI24KdrXMzPGsE?si=fb5f0c1b6613491e

When I'm not reading books, I'm watching Gilmore Girls. So it is my pleasure to announce Women of Questionable Morals:
"Who led? Who followed? None of that really matters because Sariah of @bookedsolidpodcast and Élaina of @bookshelfremix have found each other and decided to launch their (in-depth, passionate) thoughts about Gilmore Girls into the void.
Send us your voice clips and episode requests at [email protected] and follow us on Instagram and Twitter @woqmpod. We’ll see y’all soon!
Sincerely,
Two Women of Questionable Morals
Places I've Taken My Body
Bookshelf Remix
02/05/24 • 59 min
Join Eva and Élaina as they cocoon in the warm disabled academic embrace of Molly McCully Brown's "Places I've Taken My Body" essay collection. A poet and a scholar, McCully Brown prompts us to reflect on disability culture and disabled communities, past and present and we get pretty mushy about it. What! It feels so good to be seen. Listen if you too are craving darkly beautiful reflections on living through the cycle of fighting your bodymind, becoming the supercrip, and then forgetting your pain only to start again.
CW: Eugenics, forced sterilisation, forced institutionalisation
