Laura finally finished a book series and also *shockingly* adores another TV show based on a videogame.

It's been a while since Hannah and Laura have chatted, so they are chatty. Laura raves about a new all-time-favorite book and continues to question the thriller genre. Hannah goes on a bit of a deep dive on a TV show that gets weird at times, and she also has read a book that tricked her into thinking she enjoyed parts of it. Then they dive into the first two novellas of Before the Shattered Gates of Heaven, Vol. 1 by Bryan S. Glosemeyer. ***This episode contains spoilers for Before the Shattered Gates of Heaven, Vol. 1 by Bryan S. Glosemeyer!! Spoiler section begins at 52 min 08 sec.*** Be sure to follow Bryan S.

Hannah and Laura are finishing up Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn and cover the last third of the plot. They are doing their best to keep up with this book, however, they both remember a classic Patricia moment. But before they dive into Bloodmarked, a book in which they hope the characters remain single, Laura shares about a book that she loved that features one of her new favorite fantasy creatures and Hannah nearly hyperventilates in joy over some YA books that she read recently. Hannah also watched too many(?) episodes of a show that Laura's parents (probably) love. ***This episode contains SPOILERS for Legendborn and Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn.

Laura has been sobbing her way through a new favorite TV show, and apparently also not listening to Hannah when she tells her how many chapters to read of the book we are covering.

Laura and Hannah are also unsure on nicknames and having several miscommunications, but they both agree that they LOVE Legendborn! ****Spoilers for Legendborn begin at 31 min 25 secs. If you have not read Legendborn and are avoiding spoilers, do not listen past this point!!**** Apologies for some technical difficulties. Hannah and Laura both seemed to have connection issues at times.
