April 28, 2022 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MB

At the conclusion of Jane Eyre, yr grls reflect on what brought us to Jane Eyre and where Jane Eyre has brought us - including, but not limited to, it’s contrasts with “Pride and Prejudice”. Is Jane Eyre a self aware text or does it mostly benefit from modern readers seeing its Id? Is the Darcy more prevalent than The Rochester? Is an archetype it’s arc? What’s next? What’s wet is always wet.

Our hearts take wing and our air mattress deflates in this installment of MONSTER MARCH featuring Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison.

Monster March begins with the Cthulhu-adjacent, pun-apparent, politic-of-death-exploring, Acsquidentally in Love by K.L. Hiers. Is it reasonable to approach a book with expectations as a reader?

February 03, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MB

Isabeau and Morgan return to an almost forgotten realm in Whoa!mance, but one that still remains familiar - THE BODICE RIPPER. And not bodice ripper as in "their boobs are so big it is ripping the bodice". But somehow, the experience of reading Denys is very, very different. And the reasons why feel as elusive as a copy of the book itself. Can a long book still have brevity? Is "bodice ripping" something that you can condition yourself through or is it just a result or contextual relativism? ...

The only problem? She comes from a family of huntresses--as in werewolf huntresses! What's Halloween's whole deal?
