💙📚 Hello BlueSky this is Lit Lit, a podcast where we read books sober and talk about them drunk. Every other week we put out an episode of discussion about a book we have each independently read and the off weeks feature Little Lit episodes for tangential topics, personal stuff, whatever we want.
Even on Christmas week we have new episodes of Lit Lit! For the holiday season we read The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett and just miiiiiiiight have been real Grinches about this whodunnit novella. Or we are our normal incisive, brilliant selves, who knows? 📚💙

If you're taking care of business around the holidays why not do it with Lit Lit? Our most recent episode was about The Running Man by Stephen King which we...had feelings about. Were they good feelings? Heavens no. #BookSky

This week's Little Lit is out and in it we discuss pieces of art and culture that we were *Kevin Sorbo in Hercules and not at all in anything else he's ever done since then* DISAPPOINTEDDDD by. Be ready to agree heartily and have no other thoughts at all.

Even on Thanksgiving we’re dropping Lit Lits! This episode is Dani’s Birthday Episode so we read Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta and welp, hope you like vivid descriptions of horse handjobs. No, we shall not elaborate.

Little Lit is up! For her birthday episode, Dani decided that she wanted to ask riddles for us to solve in the moment. If you're wondering how on earth that could make for good audio, you're thinking it through more than she did! Whatever, shut up, listen to it.

Lit Lit is up! This week we discuss Havoc by Christopher Bollen, a run of the mill psychological thriller about people bickering in a hotel during Covid. OR IS IT?!? Tune in for that and all the Hoobastank talk you'll ever need (which, admittedly, is not much). 📚💙

LIT LIT PROGRAMMING NOTE: our apologies but there will not be a new episode out this week as travel has screwed our recording schedule. We should be back to business as usual next week but will let you know if that's not the case. We blame Blood and Ash (and the whiskey needed to get through it).
October 29, 2025 at 5:18 PM
Head into your weekend with a brand new Little Lit! On this episode we are still reeling from our discussion of Blood and Ash (and from the whiskey) so we play The Friendship Game to find out if we still like each other after the torment we put ourselves through. 💙📚

HOO BOY HERE WE GO AGAIN! In this week's Lit Lit we are back in the world of Blood and Ash talking about "The Primal of Blood and Bone" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the sixth(!) book in this series. Whiskey is (heavily) involved and (very) necessary. Dear god(s). 📚💙

In case you missed when it went up, this past Little Lit was fun as hell because we talked about and ranked our favorite PUP songs. Which was hard as fuck, by the way, because they're all so damn good. Enjoy!

This week's Lit Lit is up! For this episode we read and discussed Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar which got juuuuust a little deep, at least by our standards. Also, discover how this book is strangely connected to our last read, My Murder by Katie Williams. It's...weird. 📚💙

If you're looking for some listening material for your weekend chores/lounging/fun having then you're in luck because this week's Lit Lit is about My Murder by Katie Williams, a futuristic murder mystery that might be about even more? As does happen sometimes. 📚💙

We're back! Our new Lit Lit covers A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab as well as our thoughts on the Shades of Magic trilogy (KIND OF, WE GET TO THAT) as a whole. Come for Dani's reaction to Andy's surgery mishaps, stay for...I don't know, friendship? Please? 📚💙

Well, there is *a* Lit Lit thing up but it's more An Important Update rather than a full episode unfortunately. TLDR is that one of us (possibly the person composing this post while his nose is splinted) is too fucked up on medical procedures to record the podcast.

This week in Lit Lit news: our summer series has begun with A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab, the first book in the Shades of Magic series. There are alternate versions of London, clever thieves, blood magic, but NOT romatasy, dammit!

(maybe...probably)

In case you missed it we had a Lit Lit last week where we discussed Recursion by Blake Crouch and made our brains hurt thinking through the mechanics of time travel (as well as the mechanics of writing a book that does anything in addition to just that). 💙📚
