Chapters 1-10 aka book 4 of "The Two Towers" by J.R.R. Tolkien   In this episode, Kristen and Summer unpack the stakes, sacrifices, and growing tensions as the story takes darker turns. With sharp insights and plenty of laughs, they navigate themes of loyalty, power, and the resilience of friendship. Perfect for fans of Tolkien and literary discussion, this episode offers an engaging exploration of the second half of this epic tale.   Next episode we will be reading chapters 1-9 of "Dreadful" by Caitlin Rozakis

Join us as we dive into Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah—a book that had us hooked but also left us scratching our heads. While we found the story engaging, its complex themes and a head-scratching ending turned this read into a bit of a literary workout. We ignite a lively debate about the prison system that could rival any courtroom drama. Settle in as we unpack our thoughts, explore the tough topics, and maybe even come to a conclusion—or not!
