| 19 Jul 2022 | The Demon Queen Trials, Book 3: Garden of Serpents | 00:50:17 | |
While Bridget's off having her adorable baby (congratulations!), Caitlin and Hilda discuss book 3, the final book in CN Crawford's Demon Queen Trials trilogy, "Garden of Serpents." So while the plot points in this book and series are kind of all over the place, you can still count on Caitlin and Hilda to mispronounce names ... unless the authors did intend to name those characters Asbestos and Cascade.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda cover Melissa Roehrich's Lady of Darkness series, starting with book 1. They discuss some controversy they encountered while researching the series, but they're still moving forward with it, because you know they love a "who's your daddy mystery," plus there are vampires (although they're probably not as integral to the plot as Hilda would like them to be)!

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda begin their coverage of Laura Thalassa's The Four Horsemen series with book 1, Pestilence. Book 1 can be summed up with the question "Is the heroine dumb or just h*rny?" (the answer is yes) and our trio is here to tell you all about it. Join our Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and let's be friends!

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda continue their coverage of Melissa Roehrich's Lady of Darkness series with book 4, "Lady of Embers." We're finally getting answers to the mysteries surrounding our favorite Avonleyan soap opera, but there's also some extra unhinged commentary about Bluey and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And it's Hilda butchering names this episode - Cassius becomes Cassian, and why does Ashtine have an "e" at the end of her name when you're supposed to pronounced it Ash-ton? The mysteries just never end with this series. Join our Patreon for exclusive behind-the-scenes content and let's be friends! Instagram > @Booktokmademe_pod TikTok > @BooktokMadeMe | |||

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda continue their coverage of Melissa Roehrich's Lady of Darkness series with book 2, Lady of Shadows. After reading this book, it seems like we also have a "Who's your mommy" mystery on our hands, and our hosts are here for the soap opera antics. Also they agree that Callan sucks.

Bridget, Caitlin, and HIlda cover "Gold," book 5 in Raven Kennedy's Plated Prisoner series.

Caitlin (yep, that's her name) leads the discussion on book 1 of Katee Robert's Dark Olympus series, "Neon Gods." In addition to a thorough book recap, we get some light Greek mythology, a tree frog chorus, and a "Foxy Tails" tangent, because our hosts can't record an episode without mentioning Zodiac Academy or ACOTAR.

| 01 Aug 2023 | Unhinged Maasverse Theories - ACOTAR, Throne of Glass & Crescent City | 01:10:09 | |
Caitlin walks Bridget and Hilda through several Maasverse theories found on TikTok connecting Sarah J. Maas' three best-selling series: A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, and Crescent City. Some of these theories are mind-blowing, some of them are fun, but all of them will give you something to think about. Goes without saying - but MAJOR SPOILERS! NOTE: Mom brain stuck Caitlin HARD in this episode and she completely blanked on how to say most of the names. Thanks to all for sticking through it (Caitlin approves this message and offers her deepest apologies to Cassian and the rest of the Iillyrians ) Shoutout to all the TikTok creators who inspired this post: And don't forget to use our special link to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss book 2 of the Plated Prisoner series, "Glint."

Caitlin, Hilda, and Bridget provide a quick recap and discuss their thoughts on "Glow," book 4 in Raven Kennedy's Plated Prisoner Series. Episode highlights include lots of f-bombs thrown at the characters they hate (looking at you, Manu), praise for Slade's dirty mouth, mispronunciations from an unexpected source, and the results of a predictions bingo card that didn't go as planned.

Caitlin, Hilda, and Bridget (who couldn't stay away for long) discuss "Ruthless Fae," book 2 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Zodiac Academy series. While Caitlin and Bridget won't let Hilda dedicate the entire episode to fawning over him, there's plenty of Lance Orion worship, plus appreciation for the pranks played on the heirs (especially #hornyforthehorn) and most importantly, Lionel slander - because that overgrown iguana with anger-management issues just plain sucks.

| 31 Oct 2023 | Famine - The Four Horsemen Book 3 | 01:06:15 | |
Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda return to their coverage of Laura Thalassa's Four Horsemen series with "Famine." While they weren't exactly thirsty (or hungry) for Famine's looks, he's snarky and arrogant enough to pique some interest. But as always, the best part of the episode are the unhinged tangents, which include ideas for a sentient object book title and random outbursts of "Genovia."

Our trio discusses "A Soul of Ash and Blood," book 5 in Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash series. Since this book is really just Casteel's POV of the events from book 1 of the series, we don't get a lot of new information that needs to be discussed. But that doesn't stop our opinionated trio from having THOUGHTS. So make sure your windows are closed (IYKYK) and listen now!

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss part 1 of "Caged Wolf," book 1 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Darkmore Penitentiary series. That's right - they're back in the Twisted Sisters' world of Solaria, but this time with Rosalie Oscura as she tries to break out of the infamous fae prison. While Darkmore Penitentiary is a stand alone series, we HIGHLY recommend having read Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac and Zodiac Academy so that you understand all of the Easter Eggs the Sisters leave, and you don't get mad at the hosts for talking about the previous books, which they do.
