Ep. 5 - What You Are Looking For Is In The Library

In this episode, the sisters discuss What You Are Looking For is in The Library by Michiko Aoyama (picked by Hannah). Join us as we all get distracted by Sarah's putty art while discussing this heartwarming and moving book. PS: We recorded this sometime in the summer of 2025. We promise it's still relevant.

Ep. 4 - The Ember Blade

We know it has been FOREVER since we posted, but we’ve been recording this whole time so we’ve got a lot of new recordings to share! Our book for this episode was picked by Sarah, and it’s The Ember Blade by Chris Wooding. Listen in to discover how this book wrecked us all in different ways (but Sarah and Hannah will still attempt to convince you to read the next one even though the third one isn’t out yet). We promise it was a good time. We recorded this in the summer of 2025, so enjoy this flashback to warmer times. Thanks for listening!

Ep. 3 The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina

It's been a minute! Welcome back for episode three where we discuss the wild and wonderful experiences we had reading The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova. We also discuss Sarah's love for the circus she has never experienced, and Hannah did her best to edit out Amanda's potty words (and is sincerely sorry for the jump scare when it bleeps).

Join us for conversations about bone broth and diet soda, literally losing our hair, and some deeper conversations about the parallels between this brilliant novel and our current societal times.  Next Book - The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova [https://zoraidacordova.com/books/the-inheritance-of-orquidia-divina/] Show Links * Author Website [https://www.jordanifueko.com/] * Black Nerds Create Podcast Episode with Jordan Ifueko [https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/wizardteam/episodes/Bonus-Episode---The-Maid-and-the-Crocodile-with-author-Jordan-Ifueko-e2mvtjk] Bone Broth Hot Chocolate Recipe (thank you, Sarah!) * 1 cup bone broth * ½ cup whole milk (or milk of choice) * 1 ½ tablespoons cacao powder * 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste) * ½ teaspoon vanilla  * Pinch of salt Whisk and heat all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
