The Novel Queers

Hey y'all!

We've got a few important announcements for you!

The Good: We are DONE moving cross country. That means we can get back to producing this podcast soon.

The Bad: We are completely and utterly exhausted!

Since we can't bring our A game, we're postponing Cemetery Boys and making Sugar Summer a later bonus episode. We plan to get the next episode out sometime before Halloween. We're sorry to keep pushing back the hiatus, but we also want to come back with a bang and give y'all the best content that we can!

Which brings me to...

The Other: We are changing formats! Again.

Again?

Again.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result - and we're still holding out hope for our sanity - so changes it is.

The new format will be as follows: One of us reads the book. The other doesn't. The one who read the book describes the book with the sort of manic glee that only comes from telling someone uninitiated about a favorite book. We will also be capping coverage at two episodes max per book.

Why though? It's more fun, it's more podcasty, and we over-estimated our ability to do tons homework as adults with other responsibilities. We want to read more books, tell you about more books, and make y'all feel like a good friend is telling you about a book they read. We want to stray way further away from summaries and way closer to reviews. We also want to bring you books that only one of us can stand to read and offer way more variety, consistency, and enjoyment.

TL;DR? Cemetery Boys will come out before Halloween. It will be in the new format too - Bruce will read it and I, Renee, will be going in sight unseen!

Thanks for sticking with us through everything and we'll see y'all before the clock strikes midnight on Spooky Season!
