No. 32 Podcast: It’s all about the serial
Podcast time! This week, Jane and Sarah discuss serial fiction, whether it works for us as readers and why it’s a trend that’s happening now. We talk about what we’re reading and reviewing, plus the podcast begins with one of the best opening lines we’ve recorded yet.
Here are the books we discuss this week:
This week’s music was provided by Sassy Outwater, and this track is called “Dragons,” by a Parisian group called Caravan Palace. You can find their album, “Caravan Palace,” on iTunes, and you can find the band on MySpace and Facebook.

I listened yesterday and feel that this podcast needs to come with a very strong EWWWWWW warning for the first six minutes!
@Ros: Uh oh. I was going to listen to it anyway for the discussion of serials (which I’m in the minority of loving). But now I HAVE to tune in to find out what the EWWWWWW is about! ;)
Coming late to the party just to add a title to Jane’s Period Fetish Files: The Temptation by Claudia Dane. It’s been years since I read it, but IIRC (and really, it’s an indication of my trauma that I remember so far back, since sometimes I can’t remember what I read last week) the heroine is forced to marry and her period arrives on her wedding day in answer to her prayers, preventing consummation. As a result, the hero becomes obsessed with her period. I’m all for earthiness–and you know, yay womanhood– but I remember my jaw dropping at some of the scenes.
