Such A Fun Read

Welcome to Such A Fun Read! A podcast where we come together to read a book and chat about it, like a book club! Hosted by your resident reader, Cherie. Every Thursday, we’ll dive deep into the worlds of fantasy books, sci-fi books, and in between. We’ll get into the characters, the story, and the lore and unravel what’s happening in this series. All to help you fall in love with these genres even more. We are currently reading the first book in the All Souls trilogy: A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, immersing ourselves into a world of witches, vampires, and daemons. In these episodes, we’ll start with the Manuscript Section. There, we will talk about what just happened and what we just read, going chapter by chapter. Then, we will go to the Congregation Section, where we will talk about the things that stood out in the chapters. Things we learned about and things we might think will be important for later. And we’ll talk about lore here as well. Then, we’ll have our History 101 Section. Here, we’ll discuss a few of the historical figures, events, and other things that might show up in this story. And finally we will have our Rapid-Fire Section. Here we’ll go over: - 3 things we're looking forward to. The moments that have intrigued us about what could happen in the future. - 2 characters that we want to talk about and what we’ve learned about them so far. - And 1 favorite quote. We'll pick a favorite quote from these chapters. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of this series or discovering it for the first time, there’s something here for all of us to enjoy and explore together.
