Episode 256 – Dune
Oh, how the worm turns! We read Dune by Frank Herbert, mostly as a Christmas present to returning guest Anna (@lcarslibrarian) but perhaps also a gift to you, the listener? Please keep in mind: we haven’t watched the movies and we don’t know how these names are pronounced, and if you are mean to us about that you will face our gom jabbars! (Or is it goms jabbar?) Anyway, listen to this episode while you walk without rhythm.
Content warning: Worms.

Episode 254 – Uglies
On occasion, listeners have suggested Uglies by Scott Westerfeld as a Flashback Summer title, but since we’re all Crumblies here, we were full adults when this contemporary classic YA dystopian novel was released. Our book club hostess/cult leader Grace joined us to discuss this book that some of us think deserves Best Bestseller status. Listen to this episode while waiting for your SpagBol to cook!
