Recast! - Where the Crawdads Sing (01:12:41)
RECAST!
Raven and Ginnye are going way out yonder this episode for their second read, “Where the Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens. This was such a good read, no wonder Reese Witherspoon picked this book for her book club! We try to keep this one spoiler clean, but it was tough! We definitely recommend reading this pick if you haven’t already.
We discuss what it means to be poor, beautiful, black, and ‘swamp trash’ during the 50s - 70s, what happens when nature is doing the nurturing, and how much we FUCKING HATE CHASE ANDREWS. We probably talk about that last one a bit too much, but he is seriously the worst.

Mental health in the 1950s, the lies depression tells us, and how spookily similar Ginnye looks to Sylvia Plath are just the tip of the conversational iceberg between our hosts! You might even hear Raven's pretty spot on impression of the Tiger King. This episode has depth!

Emma (01:12:21)
Happy "Galentine's" Day! We are discussing the master matchmaker, Emma, from the novel of the same name by Jane Austen! We couldn't think of a better novel for the Valentine's Day season. Emma prides herself on her excellent matches for her friends, but can she overcome her biggest challenge yet? Her own heart?
Seriously, put that line on a movie poster, which you could do countless times with the amount of film adaptations of Emma. We discuss some new ones, and of course our favorite - Clueless. The bitches discuss status, feminism, and grumpy, old men Raven has the hots for.

Save Me the Waltz (01:05:35)
The Bitches are back! And they have their shit together! Well, maybe only a little. We start season 2 off with a lot of Benadryl and F. Scott Fitzgerald bashing. 2020 begins with Zelda Fitzgerald's "Save Me the Waltz" a semi-autobiographical story about Alabama Beggs and her struggle as a wife and mother in the Jazz Age.
Raven and Ginnye discuss Zelda's tragic past, her racist writing, and if she was finally able to separate herself from her husband's legacy. And Raven really hates F. Scott Fitzgerald but loves Butterfinger BB's.

Red at the Bone (01:20:31)
Our final episode of 2019 is our Jacqueline Woodson's stellar 2019 release, Red at the Bone. This book weaves an intricate tale that reminded Raven of her childhood and Ginnye of her favorite books.
Woodson addresses class, gender, race, history, queerness and sex in America in her book. What do these two cisgender, hetero, white women have to say about it?

They're creepy and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're all together ooky. It's the Book & Bitch podcast! Our October Spookapalooza continues with our discussion of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein. We got your science, we got nature vs. nurture, we got bangin' on top of your mother's grave! I mean, what more could you want?
After selecting Frankenstein as this episode's book for discussion, both the bitches walk away with an appreciation for the badass goth that was Mary Shelley. Her rich words weave a tale of isolation, rejection, and loss that still captivates readers to this day. Listen to us gush over her for at least 30 minutes!

Neverwhere (01:16:07)
October is finally here and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is the first book of many this month that features the strange, the spooky, and the fantastical. We honestly say "fantastical" too many times this episode, but it is true. We loved this read, and how Neil Gaiman is a true master craftsmen when it comes to developing a world out of the mundane London landscape.
The bitches discuss Scientology and the Greek metamorphosis of Richard Mayhew. We also tip our hats to Neil Gaiman and his portrayal of female characters. It was bound to happen sometime, and to Neil Gaiman - we salute you, sir. Hear us discuss how female characters can enlighten and uplift a male protagonist rather than act as a stepping stone for his plot progression.
