Chapter 38: Obtuse Parallelograms

Welcome back to Razzlefrat! This week, Allie is getting over being sick (physically, but also of the universe’s BS) and Ashtin is working double time to stave off The January Abyss™. Then, we break down some common literary tropes and discuss our faves and least faves (trope jail, anyone?). Join us next time for our masochistic Normal People watch/breakdown! Be sure to follow us in between episodes on our booksta accounts @grapes_of_ash and @theresinkonmyhands and also our joint account @razzlefratpod! Until next time, we bid you farewell. xoxo, Razzlefrat BookTokers mentioned this episode: NewlyNova Books/authors mentioned this episode: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas Rouge by Mona Awad Bunny by Mona Awad I Didn’t Know I Needed This by Eli Rallo A House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt In The Cafe of Lost Youth by Patrick Modiano The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck The Troop by Nick Cutter The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Death in the Family by Ottessa Moshfegh Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong The Idiot by Elif Batuman The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien Harry Potter by JK Rowling Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas And Then There Was None by Agatha Christie A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory Normal People by Sally Rooney Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey Icebreaker by Hannah Grace The Atlas Six by Olivia Blake Babel by RF Kuang Demons by Fydor Dostoyevsky Crescent City by Sarah J Maas Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Transcendant Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi Charles Dickens Stephen King
