060 - The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes by Elissa R Sloan
20 januari 2021 · 40 min
Gen and Jette introduce a new episode category—Bookstagram Made Me Do It! We see so many incredible books on Instagram and we want to talk about some of the ones we had to get our hands on immediately. So we’re starting with The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes by Elissa R. Sloan. Lees meer
In the same vein as Daisy Jones and the Six, Sloan’s debut novel follows the rise and fall of the fictional pop girl group Gloss. The story plays out across two timelines through four perspectives. Each Gloss girls gets a chance to tell her story. If you loved Daisy Jones, don’t miss The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes. It’s the perfect balance of early 2000s nostalgia and the darker side of fame.
CW: suicide, rape
Show Notes:
Who remembers Britney dancing with the snake at the 2001 VMAs and Christina’s Dirrty video?
We had a lot of fun reminiscing about early 2000s Justin Timberlake, American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, and The Spice Girls.
Merry’s wardrobe malfunction in the book definitely reminded us of Janet Jackson and her Super Bowl Halftime malfunction with Justin Timberlake. It even has its own wikipedia entry.
It’s hard to believe all of this was 20 years ago. Time is a flat circle.
Something that took Gen way too long to realize: Illuminated Eyes is a play on real life band Bright Eyes.

058 - 2020 Holiday Wrap Up
23 december 2020 · 32 min
Gen and Jette talk about some of their favourite books of 2020. We chat about writing through the pandemic, reading slumps, and what we're looking forwards to in 2021. We know things won't magically be better on New Year's Day, but making it through the year still feels like a reason to celebrate! Lees meer
Thank you to all of our listeners! We hope you all have a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year! We'll be back in January, kicking off 2021 with a discussion of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. In the meantime, keep an eye out for our next blog post about our 2021 reading challenge.
Show Notes:
Whatever else happened in 2020, it was at least a great year for books.
If we thought getting Kobos would reduce our book buying, we were very wrong!
As Canadians we don't need beach reads. We have #snowdriftread instead! (We're going to make this hashtag trend, just you wait.)
Check out the Creative Writing Program at Humber College.

057 - Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
9 december 2020 · 48 min
Gen and Jette give all their love to Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas! We're shifting our Christmas tradition away from a certain wizarding series to talk about fantasy with incredible trans rep instead. We spend most of the episode gushing about how much we loved this YA paranormal debut, the magical world building, and loveable characters. Not to mention some quality pet content (we're looking at you Purrcaso, Donatello, and Michaelangelo). Lees meer
Show Notes:
We battled with some technical difficulties, so apologies if some parts are a bit disjointed.
You can read Daniel Radcliffe's full statement on The Trevor Project website.
We are the most incoherent when we love a book beyond measure because all we want to do is shout about how good it is.
Shout out to Bones for incorporating flower meanings into their episodes.
Aiden Thomas' next book, Lost in the Never Woods, is a reimagining of Peter Pan and comes out March 23, 2021.

Show Notes:
Apologies if you can hear a dog barking in the background, Gen's room is not soundproof and one of her neighbours has a loud dog.
Fun drinking game: take a shot every time we mention Paper Houses (we'll be talking about it forever).
Gen mentions Supernatural, of course.

055 - Another Country by James Baldwin
11 november 2020 · 52 min
Gen and Jette read their first James Baldwin novel - Another Country - and they are in love. While Baldwin tackles tough themes that are still relevant today, he does it in the most beautiful of ways. This novel paints a picture of New York City in the 1950s through its characters, weaving their ways through life and trying to find themselves through relationships. The story touches on extramarital affairs, bisexualilty, and interracial couples. Lees meer

054 - Another Cup of Tea - 2nd Anniversary Hangout
28 oktober 2020 · 55 min
It's our two year anniversary! It's hard to believe it's been two years since we sat at Page One cafe and decided we'd make a podcast. Since then, we recorded 53 episodes (almost 7 days worth of minutes) and had over 3500 listens in 52 different countries. We have a shiny new website with multiple blog posts every month. We've worked with wonderful publishers, like House of Anansi Press, Coach House Books, and Wattpad Books. We can't wait for what is next to come! Lees meer
Show Notes
Jette is drinking Cinnamon Bun Chai from David's Tea and Gen is drinking Alpine Punch, also from David's Tea.
We've both surpassed our Goodreads goals!
Turns out that our most popular episodes are about non-fiction books. We can't wait to do more!
How do you get listeners in Antarctica?
We're loving our Kobo eReaders and learning to love audiobooks.

053 - Extended Canon - New Stories in Old Universes
14 oktober 2020 · 1 uur 5 min
Gen and Jette dive into the extended canon of some of their favourite series/universes. We crave more from the characters we love but do we really want more of their stories?
Show Notes:
Why is is that extended canon books never quite live up to the original books you fell in love with?
Do you automatically read extended canon even if you know it might disappoint you? Yes… Yes we do.
The series that we no longer speak of by the author we do not speak of has a very bad track record with extended canon - The stage play? Really? Yikes.
What do you call a book series of 4 books - Quartet? Quadriology?
Did y’all know there was a novella in the Twilight series?
Jette was wrong - Doctor Sleep the NOVEL does follow the original novel. The film adaptation of Doctor Sleep is a blend of the new novel and the Kubrick film. The story of The Shining and Danny Torrance is so much bigger than the collective consciousness of us all!
We LOVE our proper architectural blueprints and laid out timelines
Check out our episode on The Rules of Magic.
Comic books and superhero stories and grown into almost all extended canon at this point. We talked about this in our Graphic Novels episode too.
Jette was right - the Batman films we grew up on were considered a series - Batman Forever is listed as a “stand-alone sequel” to Batman Returns (an obvious sequel to Tim Burton’s Batman). Batman & Robin is considered the 4th film in the Warner Brothers series, despite different Batmans and directors throughout.
Looking back, our episode on The Shale Project is about extended canon too.
All of the technology and firetruck noises in this episode - sorry!
Gen doesn’t have self control when it comes to Maggie Stiefvater
Star Wars has become the definition of extended canon. Films and novelizations and animated series Oh My!
Authors Mentioned (too many books to list!):
Stephenie Meyers (Twilight universe)
Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games universe)
Phillip Pullman (His Dark Materials universe
Maggie Stiefvat… Lees meer -
052 - WattPad Books New Releases
30 september 2020 · 47 min
In Episode 52, Gen and Jette team up with Wattpad Books to discuss two of their fall 2020 releases: Historically Inaccurate by Shay Bravo and The Bro Code by Elizabeth Seibert. Both are debut YA authors with large followings on Wattpad, an online community of writers and readers. Wattpad Books is combines the best of art and science to find new voices in storytelling and elevate their stories. We had a lot of fun talking about these two fall 2020 releases from Wattpad. Be sure to check them out! Lees meer
Show Notes:
Wattpad is based in Toronto. This sends us off on a tangent about Schitt's Creek sweeping the Emmy's. If you haven't watched it yet, do it know. It's excellent. We promise. You can find it on Netflix and CBC Gem. Oh, and the actor who plays Ted is Dustin Milligan.
Shay Bravo has connected with over 114, 000 followers on Wattpad and Historically Inaccurate won the 2019 Watty Awards.
Reminder: we will never be spoiler free.
It might be time to rewatch The Skulls (2000).
Yes, of course Gen noticed the Supernatural reference in Historically Inaccurate.
Elizabeth A. Seibert's stories on Wattpad have amassed over 30 million reads. Our minds are blown.
It's been a very long time since we we've been in high school.
It's also been a very long time since we thought about Nick Carter.

Then, The Imago Stage by Karoline Georges, translated by Rhonda Mullins, which follows the narrator as she negotiates between her virtual world and the real world. And lastly, Fauna by Christiane Vadnais, translated by Pablo Strauss. This work connects a series of stories about a climate-changed world. We love working with Coach House Books and had such a great time discussing these new fall releases! Lees meer
Show Notes:
Aokigahara Jukai forest in Japan is more commonly known as the suicide forest.
The Complete Manual of Suicide is in fact a real book. This is not a recommendation.
You can read about more about Basho's travels in The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches.
The 2019 Canada Reads selection translated by Rhonda Mullins is Suzanne by Anais Barbeau-Lavalette.

050 - From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle
2 september 2020 · 55 min
Gen and Jette discuss Jesse Thistle's memoir - From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way. Lees meer
Show Notes:
From the Ashes was a Canada Reads finalist. The winner of Canada Reads 2020 was We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir by Samra Habib, which also sounds like an excellent read.
The term we couldn't recall for Thistle's family in Saskatchewan is Michif "road allowance" people, referring to their living on unused Crown land.
The instances of Indigenous people freezing to do death after being dropped outside city limits by police in the dead of winter actually happened in Saskatoon, not Winnipeg. It's come be known as "starlight tours" - a term that sounds very benign for such a horrific practice. Neil Stonechild was one of these victims. He was 17 years old.
A National Inquiry is looking into the high number of missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada. Learn more about these women here: https://www.cbc.ca/missingandmurdered/
Go follow Dani Roulette on Instagram @thunderbirdwomanreads for more incredible Indigenous lit content. The incident Jette mentioned that Dani spoke of recently was the death of Brian Sinclair

Gen and Jette dive into the Mystic River - both the novel by Dennis Lehane and the film adaptation by Clint Eastwood - and breakdown adaptations in general. Prepare for spoilers and having your heartbroken. Lees meer
Show Notes
Favourite Authors episode.
Jette is still obsessed with Boston.
Shutter Island stars Leo DiCaprio, directed by Scorsese.
The Drop is based on Animal Rescue - we always forget!
Gone, Baby, Gone is the 4th in the Kenzie-Gennaro series and book #6 is actually a continuation.
Ben Affleck directed and starred in Live by night.

This was before Emmy Rossum was in The Day After Tomorrow (Yas Jake Gylls) or Shameless.
Can you guess where we had to splice the episode together when Jette had to run get the #podcat’s cat food delivery?
Allegiant is the final book of the Divergent series and is written with 2 POVs that are not marked and it’s confusing.
Watch Gone, Baby, Gone if you want your soul crushed - yes it’s Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Freemans’ wife is played by Kippy Goldfarb
Good adaptations mentioned- The Martian (Yes Captain Lewis gets more film time than she had book time), Gone Girl, Virgin Suicides, Sharp Objects, Watchmen, Practical Magic (wild different but it works)
Dark places was already a movie in 2015 starring Charlize Theron??
Gen and Jette are over quarantine and miss each other

20 januari 2020 · 40 min
Gen and Jette talk about memoirs, themes that tend to run through most, and floating into that grey area of creative non-fiction versus cold hard facts. Lees meer
Show Notes:
How truthful are memoirs and what is the difference between a memoir and an autobiography? Please tell us - we're not sure.
So don't piss off Oprah or you'll live through the scandal that was A Million Little Pieces by James Grey.
It looks like Kirsten Dunst and Dakota Fanning aren't actually making The Bell Jar.
Was Running with Scissors Ryan Murphy's first film??
Jette's intro to memoirs was film school and a lot of pop culture-drug related stories.
Does anyone else tell time by what Starbucks they worked at?
What is the difference between an author and a writer and is someone who wrote a memoir either?
So many memoirs have been adapted to film - any favourites?

We in no way support JKR or her opinions and we stand with the trans community.* Gen and Jette talk about Harry Potter. FINALLY!
For the sake of not being here for 500 years, they cover books 1-3 and still only scratch the surface. They talk about JKR's impeccable plotting, details that make it into the later books, and some of Gen's favourite moments.

29 oktober 2019 · 33 min
Gen and Jette get spooky and try to breakdown the horror genre. Lees meer
Show Notes:
You definitely need to Google Dean Koontz – all of the dog pictures are amazing.
The Goosebumps series is #2 behind Harry Potter for most sold series – what?
Also – maybe Jette is a little too de-sensitized and Saving Private Ryan should have shook her a bit more.
Like how Gen is still scared of bathrooms with the lights out because of Bloody Mary.

The movie Renée Zellweger was nominated for was Bridget Jones’s Diary.
Jette needs to get her copy of the next instalment of the Umbrella Academy–Hotel Oblivion–ASAP

026 - Paper Houses by Dominique Fortier
17 september 2019 · 37 min
Coach House books sent Gen and Jette an advanced reading copy of Paper Houses by Dominique Fortier and they fell in love with it immediately. It cleverly intertwined the life of Emily Dickinson with that of the narrator, blending fact and fiction. Lees meer
Show Notes:
Obviously the song Jette was thinking about was “It’s Been a Summer” by New Found Glory #nfgforlife
Dickinson died of Bright’s disease but also heart failure? Medicine in 1886 may not have been that conclusive.
The book comes out on October 8, 2019
The French translation seems to mean Paper Towns but perhaps this was changed because of John Green’s Paper Towns novel? Also about the fictitious towns that map makers used to copyright their maps.
Emily’s sister-in-law was Susan and her friend was Sophia.
You can find Emily’s herbarium online at Harvard Library.
Fascicle is the word Jette couldn’t pronounce.
Books:
Little Fires Everywhere by Celest Ng
Space Opera by Catherynne M Valente
Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

023 - Classics - What the??
6 augustus 2019 · 33 min
Gen and Jette attempt to breakdown the Classics genre and figure out what books might qualify.
SHOW NOTES:
Oh yes – Before he was Sandy Cohen, Peter Gallagher was in an NBC mini-series adaptation of Brave New World
We learned about Copyright & Public Domain rules
The Chronicles of Narnia always make Jette think of the SNL Digital Short – Lazy Sunday
The sad Irish lady Jette couldn’t remember was Flannery O’Connor who is actually from Georgia
Yes – we aren’t fans of JRR Tolkien… Don’t @ us
Apparently Atlas Shrugged was a movie trilogy that’s less than 8 years old?
The Diviners WAS a CBC mini series but is too “modern” to be a classic but is technically considered a Canadian classic
Have you been keeping count of how many times Gen has mentioned HP on the podcast?

021 - Shade, The Changing Girl by Cecil Castellucci
9 juli 2019 · 35 min
Gen and Jette talk about Shade, The Changing Girl - a collection of comics on DC's Young Animal imprint - about an alien that embodies a teenage girl and all the baggage that they both carry.
Show Notes:
My Chemical Romance will always be amazing. Jette’s funeral will be a recreation of the “My Helena” video.
The Umbrella Academy is LIFE – Klaus forever!
Doom Patrol is another comic on YA that has been made into a tv show.

019 - What is YA?
11 juni 2019 · 39 min
Gen and Jette try to sort out just what the Young Adult genre is and why it is so popular.
Show Notes:
Jette thought the Miss Peregrine movie was “Tim Burton-esque” and that’s because it WAS a Tim Burton movie.
YA is a genre that is far more open to inclusivity and representation than your average fiction book.

Gen and Jette talk about The Refrigerator monologues - Catherynne M. Valente's take on the trope of women being "fridged" to further the story of the men in their lives.

Are you afraid of capaill uisce?
Nicolas Hoult is playing Tolkien.
So… Bowie and a 12 year old Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth – creepy?
Star Trek versus Star Wars – what genre do you think they are?
Umbrella Academy – fair – this one is on Jette. UA counter – ONE
