  Episode #208

  208 - Espíritu by Aiden Thomas

  Sep 30, 202656 minS8

  In Episode 208, we're talking about Espíritu by Aiden Thomas, the sequel to Cemetery Boys, which we talked about way back in Episode 57! It was so much fun to be back with these characters and in their world of spirits and brujx. We wish we could have spent more time with them. Maybe a book for our girl Maritza next? We would be all over that! Show Notes Episode 57, where we talked about Cemetery Boys, was our very first FUJK episode after abandoning our previous plan to discuss a certain wizard series. We've read so many incredible books by trans authors since then! Do you believe in spirits? On record, we now know that Jette wants her funeral to be an exact recreation of the My Chemical Romance "Helena" music video. If you want to know more about the grandma who had paper Ouija boards handed out at her funeral with a note saying, "Let's keep in touch," here you go. No, but seriously, please can Maritza get a book next? Our next episode is our 8th (!!!) anniversary episode. After that, we'll chatting about Never Whistle At Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology, just in time for spooky season. And don't forget to read along with us for our book club, Moonflow by Bitter Karella. Episode coming in early November! Other Books Mentioned Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave by Mariana Enriquez

  Episode #206

  206 - The Dream Thieves (Graphic Novel) by Maggie Stiefvater

  Sep 2, 202651 minS8

  In episode 206, we talk about our latest book club book, the graphic novel adaptation of The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater, illustrated by Sas Milledge. This is the second book in The Raven Cycle series, and this one may have convinced Jette to pick up the original novels! Show Notes This is Gen’s favourite of the four books in the series because it’s Ronan’s book. We talked about the first graphic novel adaptation in Episode 180. We also read Sas Milledge’s debut graphic novel, Mamo, in Episode 194. Our next book club is Jette’s pick and we’re reading Moonflow by Bitter Karella. More creepy mushrooms and fungus! Next week we’ll be chatting with Heidi Reimer about her new novel, What We Found Instead. And to close out September, we’re revisiting an old favourite and reading the long-awaited sequel to Cemetery Boys—Espíritu by Aiden Thomas. Other Books Mentioned Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV

  Episode #205

  205 - Summer Hangout 2026

  Aug 19, 20261h 23mS8

  Summer is (finally) winding down, and it's time for a hangout episode! As you know, we are not made for the heat, so we've slowed down a bit on the reading and the writing—but don't worry, we're still absolutely crushing our reading goals. Show Notes Gen has done a surprising number of summer activities, and we've even done a bunch together, including a baseball game, a book launch, and a visit to Toronto's Book Bar. Is baseball the most romantic sport? We had such a great time at the book launch for Fossil Feud by Maggie North, facilitated by Stephanie Archer and hosted by Hopeless Romantic books. We even made a new book friend! Next on our bookish event list is Word on the Street, which Gen can finally go to this year. It's happening September 26 & 27 at David Pecaut Square by Roy Thompson Hall. If you're in Toronto, it's free to attend and always a great time for book lovers, so definitely check it out! Our next episode will be a book club episode, talking about The Dream Thieves graphic novel adaptation by Maggie Stiefvater and illustrated by Sas Milledge. After that, we'll be chatting with Heidi Reimer about her new book What We Found Instead. It's been a while since we've done an interview and we can't wait!

  Episode #203

  203 - Clockers by Richard Price (Film by Spike Lee)

  Jul 22, 202657 minS8

  Episode 203 is another instalment in our Page to Screen series. This time we read Clockers by Richard Price and watched the Spike Lee film adaptation of the same name. We loved how the book and the film each have their own distinct vibe and definitely need to watch more Spike Lee films. (And maybe rewatch The Wire?) Show Notes Richard Price has also written screenplays, including The Wire, The Deuce, and the Martin Scorsese film, The Color of Money, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. This was Mekhi Phifer's first film, and he got the part through an open casting call. In our next episode, we'll be talking about What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher. Read along with our next book club pick, the graphic novel adaptation of The Dream Thieves by Maggie Steifvater. Other Films by Spike Lee Do the Right Thing She's Gotta Have It Jungle Fever Malcolm X BlacKkKlansman Other Books, Authors & Films Mentioned Mystic River Gone Baby Gone Dennis Lehane Annihilation The Martian Jurassic Park Under the Bridge
