Molly O'Neill's Greenteeth

This week Kelly and Katai read GREENTEETH by Molly O'Neill, a cozy fantasy about a bog hag mother, a witch mother, and a gay-coded goblin who is not a mother. They talk frustratingly straightforward quests, dangerous-but-not-really fae, unicorn martyrs, superficial emotions, not-lush prose, and get defensive about not liking the book to some not-present attacker they imagine will hate their critiques.KELLY WROTE A BOOK!

I watched it on USA. I even recorded it on VHS for my best friend who didn't have cable at the time. I think I was 13 or 14? I was so excited to find it in DVD a couple years ago at my local Disc Replay.
