Episode 42—Our Nerdiest Thing: Don’t Hate on Nesta + Author Morgan Gauthier!
Hello fellow nerds! On today’s episode, we are talking all about Nesta Archeron and the hate she receives. This episode was inspired by @tessacarter_cosplay post ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGiln1no30s/ ) about Nesta getting hate as a woman. We commented "There are readers who ARE Nesta and readers who can’t understand her trauma. We ARE Nesta and will love her forever. Join us as we discuss the following:
Argument: Nesta is selfish and arrogant
Argument: I have trauma and I am not mean/rude/nasty to people
Argument: She’s the older sister and should have taken on a more responsible role
Argument: After ACOSF, she got better but she is still rude
Argument: She should apologize to Feyre

Episode 40—Our Nerdiest Thing: Our Spring & Summer Reading Hopefuls + Author L.M. Sanguinette!
Hello fellow nerds! On today’s episode, we are sharing our spring & summer reading hopefuls! Join us as we discuss the following:
-The books we hope we get to read this spring and summer!
-What we’re reading and watching + the book Whit and Deb wanted to get more out of
-Our nerdiest thing of the week!
We also got to talk to author L.M. Sanguinette, author of Welcome to Visanthe, The Days I Dream of Coffee, and more!
L. M. Sanguinette was born on a small island in the Caribbean, where the palm trees watched over her like giants and the sea crept up to her feet to say hello. Ever since she was little, she surrounded herself with tales of fantasy and magic, hoping that one day, she too would be involved in a story like the ones that captured her imagination.
Years—and many rewatching’s of Avatar: The Last Airbender—later, she is happily living in the worlds that her mind created, filling her bookshelves with more books than she will ever read and practising her own version of magic.
When she’s not sitting at the computer, she can be found snorkelling near forgotten shores, twisting from silks that hang from the ceilings, or in one of the many hidden coffee shops of Madrid, conversing with the spirits of the old city and dreaming up new adventures.
Listen in as we chat more about L.M.’s books, her poetry, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @author_lmsanguinette

Episode 38—Our Nerdiest Thing: Nonfiction We Can Get On Board With + Author Mikayla Hornedo!
Hello fellow nerds! On today's episode, we are sharing non-fiction books that we actually like! Since Deb literally reads zero non-fiction (she likes to disassociate, thank you very much), Brian from Rock N Roll Story Guys joins us to share his faves!
Listen in as we discuss the following:
-Non-fiction we can get onboard with
-What we’re reading and watching
-Our nerdiest thing of the week!
We also chat with Mikayla Hornedo, author of Blood and Brujas as well as the newly released Air and Essence!
Mikayla D. Hornedo is the author of diverse fantasy stories that blend magic, romance, and mythology. Ever since she picked up The Chronicles of Narnia at a young age she’s been in love with everything fantasy. Whether that’s movies, tv shows, or books, Mikayla loves the feeling these magical worlds bring her. All of her work is heavily inspired by Latin culture and mythologies, and she believes doing the research is just as fun as writing the actual stories. Mikayla is happily married with two beautiful young girls, who inspire her to go the extra mile every day.
Listen in as we chat more about Mikayla’s books, Kuxtal Academy,, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @mikayla.hornedo.author
