We're diving into Sarah J. Maas this week - Paige is for her, Daryn is decidedly not. Paige will talk through the plot points of the Throne of Glass series, ACOTAR, and Crescent City with vague spoiler-type discussions. Daryn will ask questions and be vaguely judgemental and confused. Come join us!

It's time for our third episode and instead of encouraging you to read, it's time for a DNF (did not finish) episode! Daryn & Paige wax poetic about reading, hate on books, and ultimately just list some of the books we didn't finish recently. Before you listen, check out this list of books we talked about to make sure you don't have a book spoiled for you:

• Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings (no spoilers just Daryn being grouchy)
• The Queen of the Tearling Trilogy by Erika Johansen (no spoilers just Daryn aggressively hating it)
• This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti (yes spoilers - Paige had a lot of opinions)
• A Soul as Cold as Frost by Jennifer Kropf (kind of spoilers because Daryn didn't finish it)
• The Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope (no spoilers Paige didn't know what was happening)
• The Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare (no spoilers just Daryn beefin')
• The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon (vague spoilers - both of us didn't dig it)
• My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine (no spoilers just a not-safe-for-work discussion)
• Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver (no spoilers because Daryn only made it 25 pages)
• I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara (spoilers but it's non-fiction so calm down)
• Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll (nah - Daryn's current read)
• The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L. Armentrout (kind of spoilers for general series plot)
• You Again by Kate Goldbeck (no spoilers because Daryn didn't get far into it)
• The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen (vague spoilers but Paige seems to have something against people with an "L" middle initial)

This week we discuss My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite (with spoilers) and The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (with spoilers) after reading half and all the books respectively (you'll see what we mean). It may not be clear from the previous sentence or from the episode title, but this episode does contain spoilers; don't listen if these books are on your TBR and you don't want to know!

Welcome to episode 1 of our new book podcast! Paige & Daryn will convince each other to read a book without spoilers, talk about the format of the podcast, and muddle through starting & ending a podcast episode.
