Show Notes
For our season 2 premiere, we have decided to turn back time - Cher style, and give you a sneak peek into our pilot/test episode, where we discuss a cult favorite A Court of Thorns and Roses or ACOTAR. This one is full of sass, giggles, and honestly wasn't supposed to be released. BUT here we are, it's a fun episode y'all. We are thrilled for you to hear our hot takes on re-reading A Court of Thorns & Roses.
Please note this episode contains spoilers for the full A Court of Thorns & Roses series!

Book blurb: When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.
At least, he’s not a beast all the time.
As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable read. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
More from Booked on Sundays
With this we say goodbye. Tune in for our season 4 and series finale of Booked On Sundays. We've kept it spoiler-free, and we launch into all the lore for books from all episodes. It's a giggly and emotional one, including podcast trivia, some true throwbacks, and our somewhat foggy memory of early episodes.
For our final book of our series, we've ended on a bit of messy one. But as per usual with book clubs, sometimes the best reads are reads you disagree on, reads that are chaotic, reads you don't quite understand? And Blind Owl by Sadegh Hedayat is all of those things. We get into our true feelings on novellas, imagery as patterns, and pose the question "to what end?".
Attention! This is your mess leader! Do you enjoy dystopian queer chaotic journeys through time? What about all our hot takes about the value of AI? Or perhaps you're a little alien trying to figure out your purpose. Well if any of those apply, then we've got a new episode for you and it's a delight! We are diving into science fiction with our discussion of Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh.
What do you call a chaotic beach at night? Wild Dark Shore perhaps? What if this chaotic beach includes tons of seals, a curious person washed ashore, and an isolated family protecting a treasure of great importance? Well that's also Wild Dark Shore! Tune into this episode about Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy as we dig into the wild, the dark, and the shore - dissecting character relationships, climate change, and precocious children.
Have you ever dreamed of being whisked away to an English mansion? How do you feel about rhododendrons? An older man? Societal expectations of the 1930s? Rebecca has it all! We're perhaps thrilled, perhaps just satisfied, and perhaps confused in our latest episode where we discuss Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Tune into book club with us as we dig into this unfortunate narrator, the dos and don'ts of maintaining a large house, and whether the movie is worth a watch.
