Episode 2 Read-Along: Seven, Seven, SEVEN!
Hello fellow nerds! It’s time for our first read along of season 4 of the podcast, which starts with Chapters 1-37 of Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood!
This season, we’ll spend three weeks reading Crescent City 1, three weeks reading Crescent City 2, and then take a ten week deep dive into the newest book in the series, Crescent City: House of Flame & Shadow. That’s 16 podcast episodes spent with these awesome books!
Reminder: If you don’t have time to re-read books 1-2 before we start the third book in the Crescent City series in late March, a great summary is linked in our instagram bio from @reviews_from_a_bookworm !
AND- if you aren’t interested in this specific read along, you can still join us for our Tuesday Our Nerdiest Thing episodes. This week, we chatted about comfort reads!
A few items to consider for this episode:
- What do the Asteri and the names of stars have in common?
- How do the gates in Crescent City correspond with this world’s Hel layers?
Be on the lookout for this week’s themed cocktail, named “Seven Gems, Seven Territories, and Seven Asshole Gods”, which can be found at instagram.com/ournerdiestthing or ournerdiestthing.com
