BSG #99: Alternate Universe She’s All That / The Familiar

If you start with the basic knowledge that Spanish Inquisition = Bad, you’ll be just fine. This week the Book Squad discusses Leigh Bardugo’s The Familiar. We talk about the historical piece of this historical fantasy, question where the vampires are, play “hot or not,” and dig into the romance. Then we read some great listener feedback (Alex’s Version) and catch up with what’s on the blog. Tune in for our next Othersode about Bride and Prejudice with special guest Tirzah Price (author of In Want of a Suspect) on 11/12. Then read along for our next Bookpisode on Hum by Helen Phillips on 11/26.TOC :30 – Welcome! 7:25 – Book intro10:00 – Disclaimers, the historical fantasy of it all18:53 – Where are the vampires?34:16 – Did anything surprise you?49:00 – How was the romance?
