29 // Dark Fantasy // Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward Durham // Review

11/22/21 • 24 min

Taking its rightful spot as my favorite book this year (and maybe of all time), Winterset Hollow is an immaculate mixture of good, evil, darkness, and light that had me hooked from beginning to end. Twisted and unexpected, I could not put this novel down until I knew the outcome of the horrific events that took place in this wonderfully mysterious and suspenseful novel.

Previous Episode

28 // Interview with Carly Heath, author of The Reckless Kind

I had the opportunity to interview Carly Heath, author of The Reckless Kind. "Set in 1904, on an island just west of Norway, the novel follows a trio of queer teens—two boys and their best friend, Asta—who decide to defy the expectations of their rural Scandinavian village by leaving their families, living on their own, and challenging the town's patriarch in the region's annual winter horse race." A huge thank you to Carly Heath for coming on the podcast!

How have we already made it to episode 30? I have no idea, but thank you so much for being here!

Today's episode is a review of Old Music for New People, a YA contemporary and coming-of-age story that features an amazing trans character and their horrible family. Join me today while Poppy (my dog, for those of you new here) sneezes in the background from the amount of transphobia in this book! Come along for the ride.

Make sure to subscribe and leave a rating/review wherever you listen!

I recorded this episode before the Oxford shooting but wanted to mention that my heart goes out to the families of those who were killed or injured due to the evilness and selfishness of Ethan Crumbley and his parents.
