The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden Andy and Dani get cold again! It's the second book... and you know what that means! It's probably our favorite of the series! Why are second books always the best? It's just the law. But who liked it more?

Andy and Dani ask each other questions. Who has the better answers? Probably Dani. Is that because she writes all of these descriptions and she can say whatever she wants? Yeah... probably. But whatever.

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine ArdenAndy and Dani take a trip to Russia. Did we find a good summer series?? Did we not doom ourselves for 2 more books?? Could it really be true??

Andy and Dani have a really good interesting time. Do we remember anything about the original Beowulf? Probably not. Do we act like we remember? One of us does. Do we understand Beowulf? Yaaaaa sureeeeee.

Andy and Dani celebrate Andy's 50th birthday! Doesn't he look so good for his age? Ya we know! Ok but really, how much did Andy hate his birthday book? It def wasn't his favorite. How much did Dani love his birthday book? WAY more than Andy! The Mere Wife by Maria Dahvana Headley

Heated Rivalry by Rachel ReidAndy and Dani go back to the hockey rink... Okkkkkkk yes this is Dani's holy grail: Hot men, sarcastic humor, and a cottage... yes please! Andy also loved this book because... but was it as much as Dani? Maybe...

Game Changers by Rachel ReidAndy and Dani go to the hockey rink. Is there such a thing as too much sex? How good can these smoothies be? Where are all of these hot men being created? Is Andy jealous?

Andy and Dani seriously discuss spooky bodies of water. Hot off the presses Andy admits, "I'm not a hero, but I've done mildly helpful things" and that really sums up the episode nicely.

Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John WiswellAndy and Dani hang out with a shapeshift blob? Was this book too on the nose? Maybe for Andy... How much body horror is too much body horror? Can you tell a man is shitty in the first 5 seconds? Probably. Are cats the best thing in the world? Yes.

Andy and Dani get hypothetical... again! This time Andy has actually done some work for a change and asks the questions, but are they even good? You'll have to find out...

How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder by Nina McConigleyAndy and Dani move to Wyoming. It is NOT all fun and games! In fact we've only been reading goddamn sad books! But that's ok... they're really good. Does Dani convince Andy this book is better than he originally thought? Probably...
