Frankenstein Episode 4: Noob’s Book Club

Only 2 weeks late to make it for the end of Frightober comes Frankenstein Episode 4. The books wraps up the tragic story of a man and his creation. The actions of the man doom them both to a live and death of loneliness, despair, and ultimately no hope. The book handles this end with […]

The Poppy War Episode 6

As promised, I finished The Poppy War in record time. So focused was I on getting the series done, I forgot to use one of my favorite words, penultimate, to describe the previous episode. Nevertheless, we arrive at the end of the book with The Poppy War episode 6. One thing I can say about

The Poppy War Episode 5: Noob’s Book Club

Three episodes in one week? No problem. I just need to take a week long vacation to Cape Cod every other week. I mean, I won’t complain. However it happened, The Poppy War Episode 5 comes only a couple of days after the previous episode. And the next episode will come only a couple of

The Poppy War Episode 4: Noob’s Book Club

War erupts across Nikan and Rin calls the Phoenix god. When that goes horribly awry, they assign her to work with the Cike. How will she fit in with that rag tag group of misfits and outcasts? I discuss that and more in The Poppy War Episode 4. Another slightly longer episode because of the

The Poppy War Episode 3: Noob’s Book Club

A trip to Boston and then summer school prevented me from getting The Poppy War Episode 3 out until now. But, as always, I put together a plan to finish the book (in record time for our little show) before Dragonlance arrives in August. This episode (and the other 3) comes in at just over

Jurassic Park Episode 16: Noob’s Book Club

We’re back (so soon!) with Jurassic Park Episode 16, the finale episode for the books. I still have to do the Movie Vs., but I need to figure out when that can happen. I said last time that was my favorite part of the book. I’m already changing my mind. I absolutely loved this ending.

Jurassic Park Episode 15: Noob’s Book Club

Another nearly month hiatus. As I talk about in the episode, the end of the school year wrecked me this year. I just said to Christine that I think I finally let go of my stress from the school year because I had a crazy dream last night about school. Regardless, I finished up the

Jurassic Park Episode 14: Noob’s Book Club

Another of our patented unscheduled two week hiatuses done and I’m back with Jurassic Park Episode 14. As a result of the time off, I updated the schedule. I should still be able to get through all of the books, just at different times than expected. In this episode, I start the sixth iteration. While

Jurassic Park Episode 13: Noob’s Book Club

Back to the helter skelter schedule. But, crazy things happened at school last week and I suffered from low energy (said in a Trump voice). But, I’m finally back with Jurassic Park Episode 13. I struggle with the possibility of hero worship gone wrong and try to come to terms with that struggle. Man, getting

Jurassic Park Episode 12: Noob’s Book Club

Jurassic Park Episode 12 comes on time. Even though it’s the shortest episode, it is absolutely the best chapter in the book so far. Most of the time, I talk about how much I enjoyed the chapter. However, given the format where I talk about what I “liked least”, I spend some of the episode
