136: 2023 Holiday Wrap-Up

136: 2023 Holiday Wrap-Up

It’s the end of the year, so it’s time for our annual wrap-up episode! Join us as we chat about what we’ve been up to the last few months, how we did with our reading and writing goals this year, and what we have coming in the new year. We’ve got a few teasers in there to look out for!

Show Notes

Obviously one of our most hotly anticipated 2024 episodes is the sequel to Paper Houses. We’ll be talking about Pale Shadows early next year.

We both read a lot of horror and queer lit this year.

Our first episode in January will be Gen’s book club pick, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez. We’re ready for some weird short stories, so grab your copy and read along over the holidays!
