E14: That's Fun

Smack and Gabi announce the winner of their Annibirthday drawing and touch base on our Mysterious Galaxy Summer Bingo progress, for which Gabi has been tricked into reading a trilogy of three chonkers. We then catch up on some recent reads we’ve had in common. Gabi rage-quit a trilogy over a dead beloved character and Smack is still soaking in a book of incredible writing with a bizarre world of violin prodigies, deals with the devil, and refugees from another galaxy who sell donuts. We compare notes on frustrating worldbuilding and how to nip fascism in the bud, and conclude by yet again trying to remember what year it is. At least we’re consistent. Main books discussed include: The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki Recognize Fascism: A Science Fiction and Fantasy Anthology edited by Crystal M.
