Episode 27: Fantasy - The Cruel Prince (1 of 5)
In the first episode of this five-part (interrupted) series in which Silke discusses the Folk of the Air trilogy and Stolen Heir duology, we start with the first book in the trilogy: The Cruel Prince.
Jude Duarte is a human living in Faerie. Her life isn't easy as is, growing up different from everyone around her, and her rivalry with one of the Faerie Princes doesn't make it any easier.
Still, the last thing you should do is underestimate her.

Episode 26: YA thriller - One of Us is Lying
In episode 26 we travel to Bayview, California, where four students at the local high school are suspected of being involved in the death of a fellow classmate, Simon Kelleher. There are four points of view, four people trying to prove their innocence, but one of them is lying.
You guessed it! In this episode Silke rambles on about One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus, a young adult thriller book that has been adapted into a tv show (and has amazing pop culture references).
CW: mentions of death, depression, and related subjects.
