About this listen

A book club can give you an opportunity to wax poetic about high literature, but this is not that kind of podcast. Each episode, hosts Lindsey and Stephanie will discuss the cringe-worthy dialogue, confusing characters, and questionable plot twists that have made these books impossible to forget. Grab a coffee and a cozy blanket and settle in!Copyright 2024 All rights reserved. Art Literary History & Criticism

    Strap in, y'all, pun absolutely intended. This episode is all about the classic romantic fan fiction that took the world by storm and reinforced the notion that stalking is peak romance.

  • Discovering Witches Should Be More Exciting
    Feb 6 2026

    Grab your favorite vintage of red wine (or a vial of O-negative, we don't judge) because this week, Stephanie and Lindsey are diving into the Bodleian Library to unpack Deborah Harkness’s A Discovery of Witches. It’s so slow we actually aged three centuries just waiting for them to hold hands.

  • Twilight Zoned
    Dec 2 2025

    In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit Twilight, a book that launched a thousand Tumblr accounts and innumerable codependent relationships. What's so appealing about Bella? Why does Edward keep going back to high school instead of getting a job? Why did Stephenie Meyer spell her name like that? We don't have answers to any of these questions, but we have a lot of opinions about this book. Cover your neck while we sink our teeth into this legendary tome.
