Sarah and Chris go back to one of their favourite topics, fantasy novels! They discuss what they've been reading in the past year since their last fantasy episode, and make some more recommendations, as your TBR is no doubt lacking in recommendations at this point. They also discuss some books about Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses and the Booker longlist and Chris' plans to read or not read it. 

As mentioned in the episode, we are planning to record a Q&A episode in September! If you have a question for any or all of us (Chris, Sarah, Jenny, or Alice), please send us an email or message us on social media!
