This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia soar into Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr. The gals discuss sex in space, plagues and pandemics, and the unsupervised nature of the early internet.

PLUS: Hendrick’s gin, Sappho memes, and microwaving fish sticks. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Getting Feminist with Ariadne
This week on Getting Literate, Katie and Julia are BACK with Ariadne by Jennifer Saint. The gals tackle being repulsed by stepmom-stepson porn, how incredibly badly they would like to live on a Grecian commune, and if a feminist lit would really only have problems centred around men. Julia wants to make it clear that we only roast the books we like, and Katie wants books to stop self-identifying as feminist. J. PLUS: Buzzfeed, Sense8, and Glee. As always, there's definitely spoilers, so proceed with caution.
