God bless fanfiction and S. J. Maas' Throne of Glass series. We start the first book in this 7-part fantasy classic, and it's met with mixed reviews from our hosts. What we can all agree on is that this is quintessential mid-2000s fanfiction at its best.  CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: BadBookPodcast Website Sam's Instagram Isabelle's Instagram Capulet Mag 

Audrey Rivero's Love in the Time of Coronavirus chapters 21 - 28 are truly a mess and a half. Not only are there 2 chapter 8's, but there are a lot of inconsistencies. After Fiona and Tucker engage in the act of congress, they face the rising BLM movement which reminds them that they're truly not meant to be.  CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: BadBookPodcast Website Sam's Instagram Isabelle's Instagram Capulet Mag 

Audrey Rivero's Love in the Time of Coronavirus chapters 11 - 20 take us through Tucker and Fiona's hiking date which is as boring as it sounds. From there, they discover the true meaning of sexual tension while they argue as a group about the role of government funding and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. It all wraps up nicely with a roll in the hay—literally.  CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: BadBookPodcast Website Sam's Instagram Isabelle's Instagram Capulet Mag

We conclude our reading of Marked by PC and Kristin Cast with Zoey "defeating" Aphrodite once and for all. Now, as the high priestess of the Dark Daughters, she's extra-not-like-other-girls. Does any of the other plot matter? Apparently not.  CONNECT WITH THE SHOW: BadBookPodcast Website Sam's Instagram Isabelle's Instagram Capulet Mag

In our third reading of Marked by PC and Kristin Cast, we learn more about Zoey's new school House of Night. Her roommate and social group is very cliche, but what do you expect?
