A podcast where two brothers discuss books that they love and the occasional book that missed the mark. We will deep dive into our thoughts about the books along with the themes and book group discussion points that we find pertinent. All the books will be spoiled; you have been warned.

This month Alex and Joe discuss the book, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. In Alex's book pick we go in depth on the characters and Agatha's ability to write something that few authors could ever manage to make almost believable. The questions the attempt to answer range from "What makes Christie the Queen of Mystery?" to "Were the plot twists and red herrings believable?" After the conclusions we try to answer Joe's thesis question, "How does this book exemplify Agatha Christie as the Queen of Mystery?"
Next month's book will be Joe's pick. A book that will torture both of them. It will be The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart.
We hope you enjoyed listening and will join us next month.

This month Alex and Joe discuss Joe's first book pick, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black. Alex lays into his hatred of the first sentence of the book, then we gush all over the rest of it. We attempt to answer questions such as "How are the vampires similar to other vampire stories?" and "What is the message Holly Black trying to give the reader?" among others. After our conclusions Joe asks for his thesis statement, "Why does this book belong with all the other famous and lasting works of the vampire genre?"
Our next book that we will be reading is Alex's pick, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.
We hope that you enjoyed listening and we will see you next month.
