In this month's episode we dive into Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson. Not only is this book full of amazingly powerful witches and a nuanced power struggle, but we also explored gender, ego, and how witch hunts never seem to die. Join us as we take a look at true sisterhood and how we are not our bodies, but the energy that dwells within it. See? We CAN be deep sometimes. We loved this one and can't wait to jump into the next one in the series because THAT ENDING!!! We're so happy you're here!

In this Under the Covers episode we sat down with Ali K Mulford and K Elle Morrison, the co-authors of the Maple Hollow Series. We talk about working on a book together from different continents, the importance of platonic soul mates, and what's coming next for our favorite Stars Hollow inspired spooky town.

This month's episode is sponsored by ADHD tangents... We went down so many rabbit holes while talking about Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist by Ali K Mulford and K. Elle Morrison but all of them had the same undercurrent: MAGIC. This book is a cozy, sapphic read that ushered in all the fall feelings that we were looking for and so much more. A town that gives us Gilmore Girls/Halloweentown vibes with vampires and monsters, and witches (OH MY!), was just what the Cliterature doctors ordered and we couldn't have been happier with the choice! Join us for the chaos, if you dare.

Some tangents include but are not limited to: Practical Magic, Nicole Kidman in corsets i.e. Moulin Rouge, Olivia Newton John, Ocean's 8, and Stockard Channing is the bad girl version of Jean Smart.

In this month's episode, Haley and Dee dive into Alabama through the 1920s-1940s in a love story as old as time. Girl meets girl, girls fall in love, one runs away and gets married and the other stalks her across state lines, girls eventually u-haul and open a diner. Sounds romantic, huh? Well it IS and it's one of their favorites. Fried Green Tomatoes is a novel by Fannie Flagg published in 1987 and then adapted for film in 1991. This episode talks about the differences between the book and film and also digs into both sides of Southern culture in that time period, the beautiful and the ugly. No one will ever convince them that this is not a love story. If you disagree, Dee is prepared with a PowerPoint presentation to prove you wrong.

We're so happy you are here!

*Some trigger warnings: discussion of racial inequality, racial slurs, and the KKK, discussion of physical/sexual abuse, discussion of murder (but he was an awful guy and it was karma)*

In this episode of Cliterature, we get spicy. Neuro-spicy. Haley and Dee jump in to conversations around mental health, anxiety, navigating ADHD, and the many different forms of grief as they explore Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun. This book was full of levity among the darkness of losing a beloved mentor and reconnecting with a lost best friend along the way. And may I add, ROMANCE? From church basement drag shows to flinging your grip on control into the Grand Canyon (metaphorically) this road trip is one you don't want to miss! Join Dee and Haley on the ride of your life Into the Mystic. *Cue the Van Morrison*

This month on Cliterture we immersed ourselves in the story of Evelyn Hugo. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid was a revisit for both of us, but boy were we happy that we read it again! Haley had forgotten all the twists and cried a million times, plus we got to dive into all of the different type of relationships that are represented in the book. All of the characters stick to your bones and leave you feeling like you truly know them. We couldn't get enough.

Thank you for listening. We're so happy you're here!

We sat down with the Queen of Whimsy herself to talk about THE cozy romantasy of the season, The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne. Summer N England is an absolute joy and we had the best time talking about letting the characters lead you, finding joy and whimsy in the every day, and how hedgehogs companions and muscle mommies makes every job better.

This month on Cliterature, we're venturing into The Impossible Garden of Clara Thorne by Summer N. England, a cozy romantasy packed with whimsy, warmth, magical gardening, and a wonderfully grumpy gardener determined to make the impossible bloom. We absolutely adored this book. Funny, charming, and full of heart, it's a story about finding hope, finding family, and finding yourself along the way. The slow burn was epic and the spice was DEFINATELY worth the wait. Join us as we dig into magical gardens, fiery yearning, delightfully quirky side characters, and all the cozy vibes that made this one such a lovely read.
