Join us for the second half of our discussion of Maggie Stiefvater's "The Raven Boys" I could not for the life of me find the "blinking picture" we talked about, but the rest of the fan art is collected here on this Pinterest board. Be careful about straying beyond that page! Pinterest is dark and full of spoilers! The videos mentioned: 1. Selective attention - Passing the ball (the one you've probably seen) 2. Selective attention - The Shell Game  3. The accent in Henrietta is somewhere between southern West Virginia and North Carolina 4. Gansey's accent sounds like this one.  [Spoiler and Content Warning Timestamps Coming Soon!] Spoiler for Steven Universe. Harry Potter  CW: emetophobia, child abuse,
During our year of recommendations, our pride month selection was "The Raven Boys" by Maggie Stiefvater, for reasons you'll hear us explain.  [Spoiler and Content Warnings:] Magicians Spoiler for Season 2  Child abuse is referenced a few times briefly throughout.  Harry Potter references 00:43:12-30ish and very briefly 01:05:00ish Past suicide attempt: 01:30:30-01:31:00 And for funsies, heres's the John Oliver video that Erin mentions during the Characters segment. https://youtu.be/WhMGcp9xIhY
The second half of our discussion of Born of Night, the first book in the League series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Today's the final day of the Holiday Layover, and that means part 2 of our discussion of All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai. 
The Holiday Layover was originally meant to stop today, but today's episode is a two parter! Join us for our discussion of Elan Mastai's "All Our Wrong Todays"   (Note from Mk: I somehow forgot to add this to my intro, but you'll hear me say a few times in this episode and part 2 that this book was litfic, which I SWEAR I'd read/heard at the time, but as of now I can find no evidence that it wasn't categorized as SciFi the whole time, so do enjoy a hearty chuckle at my expense!)
Holiday Layover day five is a special one, because it brings you the first official episode of Girls Night, where we discuss the first installment of Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters series, City of Bones!

On this fourth day of Holiday Layover, we bring you a single-part episode where we discuss Awakened by James S. Murray and Darren Wearmouth.   P.S. The movie Mk mentioned, Cutterhead, is a Danish film. but is still largely in English and she highly recommends it. 
The third day of Holiday Layover brings you a special bonus episode that is definitely not anything else in addition to a bonus! Join us as Sam attempts to redeem herself with Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper.
Day 2 of Holiday Layover brings you part 2 of our discussion of Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.
It's the first day of Holiday Layover, and with it comes the first half of our discussion of Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. 
A second helping of trashy romance Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright
As dictated by a single year's worth of tradition, we're doing a trashy romance for February 2019, and boy does it deliver on the trash! 
The second half of our glorious return from hiatus, where we talk about scifi classic Neuromancer by William Gibson.
We're back from hiatus and begin the Year of Recommendations with William Gibson's sci-fi classic, Neuromancer. 
In part 2 of our Annihilation episode, we discuss the film adaptation and how it compares to the book.  * !The timestamp you were promised is: 40:30 - 41:45, (or skip about 90 seconds when you hear Mk get startked by the heat kicking on.) // // {{CLARIFYING STATEMENT RELATED TO THE TOPIC OF THE CONTENT WARNING BELOW.:}} // // (Also,  when Mk says "you don't see it... because I wasn't looking for attention", she definitely was not trying to imply that if you could see it on someone else, that would imply attention seeking on their part, but rather since in her case, she was specifically trying to avoid attention, she kept the evidence hidden.)
The final episode of 2018 is also the first episode Mk hosted! In it, we discuss Annihilation  by Jeff VanderMeer and its 2018 film adaptation, directed by Alex Garland. 
We interrupt our usual backlog catch-up for an update/announcement episode. We'll fill you in on the current state of DQBTalkBooks, finally let you in on the not-so-secret Secret Project we've been teasing for nearly a year, and tell you about some things we read this year outside of podcasting!
In the second half of our 2018 Kids Books special, we discuss and compare 'Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of the Vice President' by Charlotte Pence and its parody version 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents: A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo." We also delve into a lot of political discussions, parts of which are hilarisad in retrospect. 
In our inaugural "Kids Books in November so Tony and MK can focus on Nanowrimo" episode, the bitches sit down with to classic children's stories about gay parenting.
