(00:00) intro & current reads

(11:19) book to screen adaptation announcements

(15:08) the animal companion is kind of a jerk

(19:06) something that feels like a liminal space

(23:01) makes you think about life, death, right and wrong, while also making you feel all the feels

(25:58) queer dark academia with a twist

(28:14) you're bundled up in a cozy cabin sipping coffee while it rains

(32:31) a girl goes insane

(36:14) summer nights when it is late and you and your friend are the only ones awake watching the stars

(39:29) literally like walking into a storm

(45:22) everyone thinks is spicy, but is actually low key

(48:25) with sirens, mermaids and pirates

(51:17) running barefoot through a castle wearing a flowy dress

(54:46) a fantasy, set in a kingdom, no magic, enemies to lovers, betrayal and arranged marriage
