Are you frustrated when authors can’t justify their own logic in the worlds they’ve built? Jacob and Ramya discuss some of the biggest logic gaps in popular books (Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire make the list). Some dialogue is too good to believe.

Here are hot takes on why internal consistency is key to a satisfying read.Plus, is a ‘Slow Burn’ Book Worth Our Patience? Not always, and we tell you why.And to wrap things up, Ramya reviews The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, a critically acclaimed Psychological Thriller with a major plot twist and many mind games.

Métis history, generational pain, and the lies of reconciliation—Avenue of Champions doesn’t hold back. Jacob breaks down Connor Kerr’s powerful reality checks on Indigenous truths, before Ramya dives into Greenlights, where Matthew McConaughey’s larger-than-life personality takes us on a ride through Hollywood games, questionable family ties, and McConaughey’s over-the-top poetic philosophy of “catching greenlights.”

Behind the Microphone of an Audiobook Narrator: Get to Know Simon Mattacks
Audiobook narration: is it pure performance or a faithful reading of the text? We get into it with Simon Mattacks, a narrator who’s voiced more than 100 books (including some for Ann Cleeves fans). He shares how he approaches characters and accents, whether it’s just a performance or if there’s more to connecting with the listener, and of course we get into his own takes on the listening experience of audiobooks.
