This week we talk about book news, including trademark idiocy and other lawsuits, someone wants a piece of that fishy business, the state of diversity in Romancelandia, Mary Shelley is the original goth, and the Tires! Tires! Tires! writing residency has been filled at last.

In this episode we talk Hugo-winning Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire, wicked high-nonsense, Underworlds, terrible parents, mountains in the basement, and Liz wants to know: is Doctor Bleak hot? Here's a link to the wicked-moral/nonsense-logical chart: https://i2.wp.com/www.tor.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/worlds_grid_v03.8_01main.png?w=960&type=vertical&ssl=1

In this episode we talk the Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean, including a color changing drink, Lewis and Clark's 'deposits', the Cadmium Blues, and Marie Curie does what she wants. Sorry guys, we're a little behind in releasing so our 'book news' section doesn't really have a lot of relevance anymore. So we're going to skip then for a bit until we catch up.

In this episode we talk best books of 2017 and wishes for a good 2018 reading year!
