Just Another Bookish Podcast

What happens when you inherit billions from a guy you've never even heard of? Well, that's what happens to Avery Grambs, the main character of the book we're discussing today: The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (first in a series).Also, I changed my approach to these episodes a bit. I'm analysing more than just giving you the book's lengthy summary. Here are the new parts and general time stamps for everything in the episode:Intro and new concept [00:00-05:55]Premise [05:55-08:04]Characters [08:04-15:01]Plot in Short [15:01-21:14]Setting [21:14-25:53]Annotations [25:53-57:33]Title explanation [57:33-58:32]Cover explanation [58:32-01:01:29]Review [01:01:29-01:02:48]Outro [01:02:28-01:07:02]Spoilers for the entire book ahead. This might be more interesting when you've read the story. This is by no means a good replacement of reading the book yourself and I don't own anything about this book.All podcast links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just Another Bookish Podcast | Instagram | Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode 16 marks a year of podcasting. This Halloween Silke talks about Pariah by Thomas Emson (and really just shares her messy annotations). We're dealing with a paranormal Jack the Ripper retelling here, mainly following journalist Charlie Faultless and the Hanbury family as they try to solve an old mystery and delve into the paranormal world. Careful: the book contains among others gore, mentions of SA and depictions of d3@th. It's fiction, but still. I don't agree with any of the things these characters did in relation to these trigger warnings and I obviously skip over the details in my annotations. Just know this is what the book is like if you plan on reading it. Spoilers for the entire book ahead. This might be more interesting when you've read the story. This is by no means a good replacement of reading the book yourself and I don't own anything about this book. All podcast links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Just Another Bookish Podcast | Instagram | Linktree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
