Join us as we discuss our ideas for character lock screen pics, if you give a robot autism, a popular author writing a little out of her comfort zone, authors were almost definitely biased against, and so much more!

Episode 29 broke our spirits, so we're using this episode to complain about it. Join us as we discuss our recording hiccups, an oldie but a goodie by a perpetual podcast fave (Holly Black), a dark romance series that even our resident die hard couldn't stomach, and so much more!

Books Discussed: The Curseworker Series by Holly Black The Clearwater University series by Eva Ashwood

Books Mentioned: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black The Coldest Girl in Cold Town by Holly Black … we are sure there are more. But we were tired and fed up. Cut us some slack, for the love of God.

We hope you appreciate this one, because it was a nightmare to record, edit, and get up for you guys. Just shows how much we love you! (One day we'll learn from the McElroys and delete Audacity forever... but today is not that day).

Make our suffering worthwhile by sticking around for the entire episode as we discuss our insane stress about a new release, a super sexy vampire polycule, the horrors of early YouTube, and Kaitlyn rambling about her favorite book.

Books Discussed: A Flame in the Night by Morgan Dante The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

We know it's already been our birthday, but we continue this week with another birthday adjacent episode! Doesn't that sound fun?

Happy 1st birthday to My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark! We are ready to smash cake into our little faces with grubby, sticky hands.

Just kidding. Instead, we are going to discuss the simple pleasures of good smut, toxic beauty culture, and play a fun birthday game where we try to guess the name of some... interesting series.

While we like to have fun and be silly here, be warned that this episode includes discussions of diet culture, beauty standards, & aging. Use your best judgement before listening!

Books Discussed: Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert Rouge by Mona Awad

Books Mentioned: Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert Babel by R. F. Kuang Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo The Cruel Prince by Holly Black The Fine Print by Lauren Asher Twisted Game by Eva Ashwood My Ex's Dad by K. C. Crowne

Spoiler alert for a 2400+ years old play

B: And she's talking about how she's getting married and she's going through the imagery and talks about a lot of the like, ritual things, that we know about in terms of Greek weddings. And you the audience knows her--you know her fate, and Cassandra knows her fate, so she's doing all this, you know, says she's getting married, and bring forward the torches and dah dah dah dah; bring forward the veil, and you know exactly what's gonna happen to both him, Agamemnon, and her when they return to Mycenae. Spoiler: It's big time murder.

In our newest episode, we talk about graphic novels and how they help talk about difficult topics and make them more accessible. In this particular case, the play in question is The Trojan Women by Euripides.

B: It's a great interpretation and I really like the way Carson and Bruno played with the language and the images to bring out more from these marginalized voices. It's 96 pages of a graphic novel, so if this is a way for you to find, you know, an ancient play accessible, I'd say go for it!

We're a movie podcast now.

B: The end of the film ends on Irene Papas's face. And so in this moment she's Clytemnestra, she knows of the big, like, terrible lie and crime that her husband has committed by sacrificing their daughter. And it is like, by far, the best moment of acting ever. Because you can see on her whole face that she's planning Agamemnon's murder when he returns home from the war ten years later.

Iphigenia (1977) dir. Michael Cacoyannis

Saft's books never miss.

KRISTEN: But at the same time, their compassion for their friends and loved ones runs really deep. And when they eventually fall in love, all their feelings have deep roots. But! While I say that, it's a slow burn, like all of Allison Saft's stories. KAITLYN: Uh-uh. KRISTEN: So you're gonna have to wait and wait and wait. But once you get it, like I said, it has roots. It's gonna take hold. It's gonna hurt in the best way. KAITLYN: If you don't like slow burns, why are you here?

She knows the girlies too well.

KRISTEN: It's the truth, like this novel really felt like Allison Saft cracked my head open and like, put all of my thoughts on the page.

Chuck Tingle sees us. He really does. Love is real.

KAITLYN: Not to mention exploring the trauma of growing up queer in a religious environment and wondering how Faith and family fit into your life now, if they fit in at all anymore. It's that kind of- the Earth shifting beneath your feet when you know that the love you've been given your entire life is conditional on a false version of yourself. And the character work was out of this fucking world!

Authors, don't read your reviews. We'll do it for you. We'll laugh at them for you.

KAITLYN: The funniest shit that I saw when I was going into the reviews for this book were-- there were people, honest to God, with their whole chest, complaining about there being too much references to the Bible and religion. LAETY: *laughs* what?? KAITLYN: And I was like-- KRISTEN: What? It says "God-fearing community" in the synopsis! KAITLYN: Bro, you're reading a book--yeah. You're reading a book about basically a cult in the Montana wilderness that runs the country's most famous fucking conversion camp. What the Hell did you think was happening here?

KAITLYN: And then, as it is alluded to on the cover, Rose vomiting a swarm of mayflies all over her spaghetti dinner one night. LAETY: Yo! Say less! I wanna read this book like, YESTERDAY. KAITLYN: Dude. KRISTEN: I was gonna say, this book has 'Laety' written all over it. LAETY: It really does. KAITLYN: Dude, we have only just ✨BEGUN✨!!

In this scary season, we offer you the scariest thing of all: The American Healthcare System.

B: If I have to carry a fucking epi-pen, and I have to have a fucking epi-pen... it ended up being $4. LAETY: Good! okay! KRISTEN: (RELIEVED) aaah! B: I don't know how KRISTEN: Sometimes American Healthcare comes through! KAITLYN: Epi-pens are for rich people! The rest of us just die.
