Hi, so we're Mary E. Pearson fangirls. We have been for such a longgggg time. This is Mary's THIRD time on our podcast because we are, respectfully, in love with her and her personality. Oh... and her writing. We loved the imagery, the faerie lore, the tension and the prose of The Courting of Bristol Keats, and we did everything in our power to get Mary to spill all of her secrets. We love her!

Hi, so we're in love with this woman. Katherine Center's the Rom Commers has the magical ability to make us laugh and cry.... SIMULTANEOUSLY? So we dragged her into this podcast to discuss HOW SHE DID THAT. And bless her, she spilled her secrets. This woman is so down to earth, kind, and so funny. You're in for a treat!

This book was giving EVERYTHING escapism and witchy. Anna had disregard all our other episodes to record because this one was SO IMPORTANT to discuss. We recap Heartless Hunter and give all our out of pocket reactions, the moments we laughed, screamed, and we share the story about a WILD dead bride story.

There's nothing better than reading Shadow Hunters for the first time. The Mortal Instrumental Series is EVERYTHING for a sixteen year old. As a 29 year old, the whole brother thing was a bit wild.... (and they did it TWICE, CASSANDRA CLARE) but it literally was such a fun romp, we had to put this in the rotation for Nostalgia Tour 2024!
