read in the dark podcast

A bi-monthly book club podcast by chaotic people, for chaotic people. Cohosted by Kristen, Kaitlyn, Laety and B, they'll take you on a whirlwind adventure of the best (and maybe worst) books they've read lately.

My Podcast Knows What You Read in the Dark is a bi-weekly book club podcast, made by chaotic people, for chaotic people. Together, we bring to the table a book we've read recently that we loved, hated, or something in between.

Cohosted by four unhinged women with more than enough humor, opinions, and insanity to go around, we are here to spread the love (or hate) for books. From fantasy to erotica to horror, there is more than enough variety to satisfy every kind of book lover.

Also, we can't be held accountable for our visceral hatred for BookTok. It simply exists, and that's all there is to it. Sorry bout it.

You're probably thinking "Holy fuck, this sounds incredible? Where can I listen right this second?" Well, we'll tell you.

On today's episode, we bring you myths. Lots and lots of myths. We've also got graphic novels, the wonder of storytelling, and a little sneak peak of our next episode, which we know will have everyone excited. It may have to do with the third installment of a certain series that rhymes with SnightSnark.

Books Discussed: The Sea-Ringed World: Sacred stories of the Americas by Maria Garcia Esperon, illustrated by Amanda Mijangos and translated by David Bowles The Lore Olympus series by Rachel Smythe

Books Mentioned: The Odyssey and the Illiad by Homer, as well as the Homeric hymns Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan The Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert The Metamorphoses by Ovid We also mentioned the 1954 movie Seven brides for Seven Brothers, and the game Rise of the Golden Idol... and probably the game Hades 2, let's be real.

If there is one thing you need to know about us, self indulgence is our middle name. Join us as Kristen tries to scare everyone with the passage of time. Kaitlyn holds us all prisoner to promote her whimsical agenda, and Laety gives a non-spoilery review of a horror novel with a happy ending. Stick around at the end for an AITA segment that makes all four hosts angrier than they've ever been before!

Everyone knows that we like to be a bit shady, but the vague posting in this episode will have you taking off your sunglasses. You won't need them. Be sure to stick around for the entire episode, where we discuss our favorite Halloween costumes, a queer horror anthology, and a new novella from a beloved author. We even dabble in a discussion about what book tropes we are. You're gonna love it!

We recorded this one way past our bedtime so join us for our sleepiest episode to date. Come along as we discuss Kaitlyn's bathroom debacle, an older favorite of B's that doesn't quite hold up, and a poetic pick about grief, lies and sisterhood.

Did you miss us?! We know we've been... uhh.... missing in action. But we've come back in style, baby. Because Kristen brought a bad romance, and Laety brought something really weird but somehow meaningful. Typical. Other talking points include: the intimacy of girlhood friendships, the worst shapeshifter ever, and a return to AITA (hint: they both suck!)

Books Discussed: Organ Meats by K-Ming Chang Devourer of Men by Nikki St. Crowe

Books Mentioned: Lightlark by Alex Aster My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix Rouge by Mona Awad The Beast by Katee Robert Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco

Welcome to My Podcast Knows What You Read In The Dark, after dark. No really, we recorded this one late at night and we're four sleepy hosts.

Join us as we discuss our annual torture of Kristen, another wonderful entry by Keri Maniscalco, Kaitlyn tries to make the incomprehensible, comprehensible, and a new guess the star rating game. You'll want to stick around for this one!

a podcast...

[readinthedarkpod]

We are just going to scroll right on past this episode title...

In this week's episode, join us as we explore identity with a graphic novel, a criminal entry to the beauty & the beast trope, why cornflakes exist (if you didn't already know, you're in for a wild adventure), and another AITA segment. You do not wanna miss it!

We're still unclear about the family dynamics of this series, all we know is that it's probably incestuous

[readinthedarkpod]

Not only is our schedule all over the place, but we got some bad audio in this one. Sorry guys! We'll be fixing it for the next ones. Hopefully you'll forgive us, because this episode is pretty funny, if we do say so ourselves. We discuss the solar eclipse of April 8 2024, cool magic systems, aging lovers, masked men kink and the biggest loser love interest ever (derogatory).

Kristen and B are innocent bystanders as Laety and Kaitlyn ambush the podcast! Oh no! Join us all as we dive into the series that has completely altered their brain chemistry. Other talking points include: what we're all like at work and the key to being an insufferable teenager.

We are very aware the name of this episode is confusing, but we promise it'll all make sense in time. You may just not like it once we get there, because we create the anti-book boyfriend to dry you up quick.

While you're here, we also discuss Laety's newest thriller read, Kristen stepping outside her comfort zone, and in-depth look at a segment we are calling "How Soon Is Too Soon? A Guide to Sleeping With Your Best Friend's Girl!"

Books Discussed: Ruined by Sarah Vaughn, illustrated by Sarah Winifred Searle and Niki Smith House of Roots and Ruin by Erin A. Craig

We are back to our roots... hating on popular BookTok books! We bet you missed it. We also discuss our favorite sounds and our sensitivity to them, the trope "Villain Gets the Girl" and how no one can do it right, and how if you want to fuck Batman, you should just write fanfiction and leave us alone. We end the episode by answering the question... am I the asshole?

Books Discussed: Sounds Wild and Broken by David George Haskell Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

An entire host of technological difficulties tried to keep this episode from you. It may be a week late, but it's finally here for you to listen to and enjoy.

Join us as we discuss our ideas for character lock screen pics, if you give a robot autism, a popular author writing a little out of her comfort zone, authors were almost definitely biased against, and so much more!
