    Welcome to Season 5 Episode 14 of That Pretentious Book Club!

    In this episode Gino and Wheezy discuss the absolutely gripping thriller The Fury by Alex Michaelides. This novel takes place on a private Greek island when an ex-movie star's spontaneous vacation is derailed by a shocking murder, told in a series of five acts by an unreliable narrator who--let's face it--we would all love to be friends with (at least for a little while). This story takes the locked-door-murder-mystery trope and turns it on its head for a high stakes, fast-paced, irresistible story rife with allusions to Greek mythology and reflections on the human condition.

    Welcome to Season 5 Episode 13 of That Pretentious Book Club!

    In this episode Spoons and Wheezy come to you (recorded) live from "Girl World" to discuss classic young adult novel The Outsiders, by master-of-her-craft S. E. Hinton. This coming-of-age novel has more than earned its spot in middle and high school reading curriculums, and may just be begging to take up residence on your TBR list this year.

    With what we are going to call "thought-provoking interruptions" from Wheezy's tiny dragonslayer (assuming those thoughts are about the importance of hiring babysitters), Ash and Kendall find plenty to talk, laugh, and cry about in this discussion of one of the best pieces of classic literature your high school syllabus has to offer.

  • Howl's Moving Castle

    Welcome to Season 5 Episode 12 of That Pretentious Book Club!

    In this episode Wheezy and Gino fill their glasses and dive into the sweet, slightly nostalgic young adult fantasy Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones--the inspiration for Studio Ghibli's 2004 Japanese animated fantasy film of the same name.

    From comparisons between the relative "thirst-worthiness" of Howl in the book versus the movie, to life lessons we can all learn from Sophie Hatter, the hosts had their work cut out for them fitting this episode into a remotely acceptable length of time.
