September 18, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 90.3 MBWell, hello there! This month on Book 'n Bitch, we're discussing Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.

BnB Noir - My Wolf King
October 17, 2017 17:10 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBGet that bleep button ready... This one is going to earn that explicit rating! Kenna here - due to a moment of questionable decision making on my part, we're taking a dive into the supernatural romance genre with My Wolf King by Rose Wynters. This BBW romance might be so bad that it goes back to good again... almost. I talk in ALL CAPS. The word "creamy" is uttered way too many times to be healthy. It's not for the faint of heart. MOM, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THIS ONE. Want to read ...

September 19, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBThis month we've been drawn into the fight for good with Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time. It's a heartwarming and chilling story about three young kids fighting the spirit of true evil. It's an allegory of humanity's quest for goodness and triumph over evil. ...It's really hard to describe in a succinct way and not make it sound bad. There are creepy evil men and ugly hair monsters! Kenna has a nightmare. Plus, Katie checks out a dog in the nighttime! ...and Kenna taps the table...

July 18, 2017 12:00 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBFor this month's podcast, we're trying something a little bit different.
