The War of the Worlds, by H.G. Wells
This week, the gang tackles H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. We figured a century and a quarter was a fair amount of time to respect NO SPOILERS.

Yesteryear, by Caro Claire Burke (Part 1 of 2)

Yesteryear, by Caro Claire Burke (Part 2 of 2)

We are back with Our Queen Emily St. John Mandel, and her incredible new American dystopian novel, Exit Party, that asks: What happens if gestures around we keep this shit up?
