I got Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by @paul I got Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by @paulgtremblay as an ALC from @librofm and @williammorrowbooks and I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it. But that’s also why I love reading and finding books like that. I don’t need everything explained or to make sense. Just blow my mind and make me think. 

Highly recommend listening to the audiobook. I haven’t seen what the text looks like on the page but I think the recording really added to the experience. It feels very close to home, given how technology is moving today, and that is what makes it scary. 

We did an episode on Tremblay’s Cabin at the End of the World, and I can’t wait to read even more.

Gen has done a surprising number of summer activities, and we’ve even done a bunch together, including a baseball game, a book launch, and a visit to Toronto’s Book Bar.

Do you preorder books? I never used to preorder Do you preorder books? 

I never used to preorder books, but with the world the way it is now? I want to make sure I’m supporting authors as soon as I can. Plus, I think it’s going to be fun getting a surprise package when the book is released. 

These are the 6 I currently have preordered and am itching to get my hands on (and spoilers for some upcoming episodes 🤐)

* Cemetery Boys: Espíritu by @aidenschmaiden - 🎙️episode coming Sept 30

* And I Will Tell You Mine: Notes from a Life in Progress by @sophiabush - 🎙️episode coming Nov 25

* Beneath A Midnight Moon by @catherinecowlesauthor (Starlight Grove 3)… [not so] patiently waiting on book 5

* Divine Ruin: A Sister Holiday Mystery by @neonmargot - paperback to match my series

* Go Quiet on the Mountain: The Power of Stepping Away from a World That Never Stops by @jedidiahjenkins - we have done an episode on all of his books so far, and we will definitely be doing an episode on this one too in early 2027🎙️

* Cardinal Rule by @liztomforde.author (Wilder Woods 1) - I thought I would never leave the Windy City, but I will for this 🥰

The final book in Bailey Hannah’s Wells Ranch series delivers a punch to the heart in the best way. We had been waiting. We saw Kate and Jackson’s love through the first few books, but to get their story done this way. Wow, just wow.

Currently reading book two of the Windy City serie Currently reading book two of the Windy City series by Liz Tomforde and can I just say...Ryan Shay! So glad Jette was able to lend me her copies so I could climb out of the library hold trenches. (All the love to the library, of course, but I wanted them sooner!)

Don't get me wrong, Stevie and Zanders were cute, too, but Indy and Ryan have my whole heart. They just want what's best for each other, no matter what. I just need them to figure out that the obsession is mutual soon please!

If you're looking for a short and sweet summer rea If you're looking for a short and sweet summer read with haunted house vibes and a dash of folk horror, look no further than Wylding Hall.

Told in the style of an oral history, Wylding Hall tells the story of '70s folk band Windhollow Faire through a series of interviews with the remaining band members. They recount the making of the album that made them famous, recorded during a single summer at the manor house Wylding Hall. It doesn't take them long to realize that something strange is going on in the old house, but it still seems to the band like a perfect artsy summer until it isn't.

The vibes are: A bit of The Wicker Man mixed with Daisy Jones and the Six while a '70s folk record plays in the background and a summer breeze rustles pages of old occult books in an abandoned manor library.

An ever-present line on Jette’s to-do lists and re An ever-present line on Jette’s to-do lists and resolutions - learning to draw. 

Urban sketching is so fascinating to me and feels approachable, so we’re trying to dive in. Of course, we actually need to practice. Aka create the habit, which is why I got this book by @daribodrawing. It breaks everything into great little pieces, and I feel like I can actually do it (if I practice…). And I love watercolour, which is also on the list (and yes, we already have all the supplies), and it goes hand in hand with this type of sketching.

Hopefully all of this will lead to mycology illustration as well as making my own graphic novels. ☺️

In episode 204, Gen and Jette freak out over mushr In episode 204, Gen and Jette freak out over mushrooms and T. Kingfisher’s What Moves the Dead, book 1 in the Sworn Soldier series.

We both meant to read “The Fall of the House of Usher,” which this book is based on, before we recorded, but unfortunately...life. It’s on the list now!

Please send Jette all recos for anything fungi-related- books, cute things, forests to run to. 🍄🍄‍🟫

Our next episode is our summer hangout. Expect more mushrooms and probably (definitely) some Windy City talk. How many books in the series can Gen read before we record?

Since I’m headed there in October, it felt like ti Since I’m headed there in October, it felt like time to start the Vancouver storm series. 

Okay, well, yes the trip is booked but also I was at the mercy of the library and have been waiting for months for the book😆 (and we just saw @stephaniearcherauthor interviewing @maggienorthauthor last week!)

Starting with the goalie felt like such a treat. So many other series you get hints then have to wait. We love a grumpy goalie. And I liked Pippa’s journey with music. Sometimes artistic endeavours are not done well in books but I like this one. 

Can’t wait for the rest of the series.

Episode 203 is another instalment in our Page to S Episode 203 is another instalment in our Page to Screen series. This time, we read Clockers by Richard Price and watched Spike Lee’s film adaptation of the same name. 

We loved how the book and the film each have their own distinct vibe and definitely need to watch more Spike Lee films. (And maybe rewatch The Wire?) Richard Price has also written screenplays, including The Wire, The Deuce, and the Martin Scorsese film, The Color of Money, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

This was Mekhi Phifer’s first film and he got the part through an open casting call. Wild! 

Highly recommend this combo of book and film.

This was the Sparrow Falls book I was most excited for. As soon as I met the Colson family, I wanted Cope’s story. I guess small-town hockey player mystery is my jam 🤭

Book 4 is already on it way from the library and I’m picking up Into the Fading Twilight tomorrow. And yes, I will be getting to Catherine’s other series’ as soon as I can! (Send your recos!)

Do you prefer to read at a coffee shop or at home? Do you prefer to read at a coffee shop or at home?

I love the idea of reading in a coffee shop, but the ADHD always gets me. I people-watch. I listen to the sounds of a cafe. I take pictures of my book and my coffee. I always feel like I have to be ‘on’ for some reason. 

So back to the couch for me. I have a reading chair in my reading corner. I have another comfy chair by the window. But lately, it’s just been my raggedy old couch and my romance book against the world 😆
