40: Reads - Blondes, Blowouts & Books for Bisexuals
What does nine books, plus 6 movies, multiplied by 100 world-class athletes equal? Just kidding Roomies, we’d never ask you to do math like that! Hosts Alexys, Kaylin, and Larsen are back this week with one of their classic READ episodes, where they tell you what they’ve read, endured, ate, and done recently. Between Larsen catching up on her StoryGraph reading challenges with a whopping nine books read this past month, Kaylin helping usher in a new movie renaissance, and Alexys supplying some on-brand niche media picks, let’s just say the entertainment options are infinite. Reading highlights include Arid Dreams by Duanwad Pimwana and The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennett by Lindz McLeod, which sparked digressions into the symbolism of the body and physical form in literature and the patriarchal imbalance of gays versus lesbians popular romance, respectively. We share our delectable dinings, like a fall feast of stuffed pumpkins, and late-summer snacks like chocolate covered raspberries, as well as what we figuratively ate up, like Netflix's Physical 100 competition show and Primetime starring RPatz. Our hyjinks this episode include all manner of ~just girly things~ like getting your hair freshly colored, hunting for the perfect blow dryer, and dabbling in some light witchcraft. We can sum it up for you divas, whether you need some new recs or just want to commiserate over the plight of womanhood - you're going to want to listen!

39: Deep Dive - Summer Rewind: The Girls Are Back in Town!
Alexys, Kaylin, Larsen- where the hell have you been locas??? Welcome back Roomies! In this special edition deep dive, hosts Alexys, Kaylin and Larsen end their summer hiatus by rewinding back and recounting what they've been up to these past few months. From girlbossing hard (re: Larsen has been commercial fishing and pulling 20 hour days up off the coast of Alaska), to jet setting away from real life (like Alexys' random but fulfilling journey to China), two things are certain: books have been read and hijinks have been had. Highlights include wholesomely reading Sense & Sensibility aloud for all on the fishing boat (boys included), potentially saving a man's life on the way to go camping and the subsequently deliriously delicious camp food, and Kaylin's journey to collect every library card in California. Digressions range from exploring the powerful layers of analysis that language creates in translated works, like Arid Dreams or The Odyssey, and the pitfalls of multi-perspective novels, like Cloud Cuckoo Land. Plus, we preview some exciting upcoming episodes, including our October book club pick: East of Eden. Regular club meetings have returned, so keep checking back every Monday for fresh episodes. We're so excited to be back the in the room with you!
