Chapter 50: In Our Apparat Era

2/8/2024
Welcome back to Two Mourners, One Book Club! We return from our life-changes-induced hiatus to begin the final installment of the Grishaverse, Rule of Wolves by the talented and terrific Leigh Bardugo! Please forgive echoey audio - Jordy started using a new editing software and is still learning how to use it! We start strong with political tensions, espionage, and of course, a lot of quippy dialogue. Returning listeners will be able to pick out several new twists on beloved bits (i.e. a certain lipstick in a certain Valentino white bag). Nikolai rules, Zoya slays, Nina is bearable, and Ravka is in deep trouble! We love to hear from you! Have a question or want to geek out together? Follow us on Instagram @twomournerspod and TikTok @twomournerspodcast! If you have any questions, you can DM us or send us an email to twomournerspod@gmail.com Happy Heisting!

Chapter 39: Mal-Be-Gone (Just Kidding)

8/9/2023
Join us this week to finish the last installment of the Shadow and Bone trilogy, Ruin and Rising, by the effervescent Leigh Bardugo!

You can decide for yourselves if the tears are from laughter or pain - the answer might be both. Alina commits double homicide, Mal makes some tea, and Nikolia gets his groove back. We already know we’re going to have some big thoughts on the ending of this series in our next Drunk and Disorderly Debrief. What we want to know is what YOU thought of the ending!
