Join Andrea and Elizabeth, two book-loving besties, as they dive into the boundless worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, and beyond. From space travel to spells, they share what they loved, what didn’t quite connect, and what they’re excited to read next, sprinkling in the occasional recommendation from outside the genre. Episodes alternate between deep-dive discussions of their monthly book pick and more freeform chats about reading habits and TBR stacks. In 2025, their book club theme is the moon, featuring stories where it shines front and center, from John Scalzi’s lunar cheese caper to Sue Lynn Tan’s Daughter of the Moon Goddess. Expect thoughtful takes, occasional tangents, and plenty of bookish joy.
