Ep 114 Chat N Cackle - Our Year In Reads (So Far)

About this episode

Chell and Annette discuss the books that have shaped their reading year so far in a lively and humorous manner.

In this delightfully chaotic 'Chat n’ Cackle' episode, Annette and Chell settle in with cups of something cosy and dive into the books that have shaped their reading year so far. From eerie horror valleys to motel mysteries, from heartfelt memoirs to unsettling classics, the Crones cover a stack of stories that made them gasp, giggle, or stay up far too late. This episode’s reading pile includes: This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman The Lamb by Lucy Rose Come Closer by Sara Gran The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams Play Nice by Rachel Harrison • Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton We Call Them Witches by India-Rose Bower Expect tangents, laughter, strong opinions, and the kind of bookish chaos only Annette and Chell can conjure. Whether you’ve read these titles or are just here for the cackles, this episode is a warm, witty wander through their current literary landscape.
