In part 2 of our Annihilation episode, we discuss the film adaptation and how it compares to the book.  * !The timestamp you were promised is: 40:30 - 41:45, (or skip about 90 seconds when you hear Mk get startked by the heat kicking on.) // // {{CLARIFYING STATEMENT RELATED TO THE TOPIC OF THE CONTENT WARNING BELOW.:}} // // (Also,  when Mk says "you don't see it... because I wasn't looking for attention", she definitely was not trying to imply that if you could see it on someone else, that would imply attention seeking on their part, but rather since in her case, she was specifically trying to avoid attention, she kept the evidence hidden.)

The final episode of 2018 is also the first episode Mk hosted! In it, we discuss Annihilation  by Jeff VanderMeer and its 2018 film adaptation, directed by Alex Garland.

We interrupt our usual backlog catch-up for an update/announcement episode. We'll fill you in on the current state of DQBTalkBooks, finally let you in on the not-so-secret Secret Project we've been teasing for nearly a year, and tell you about some things we read this year outside of podcasting!

Announcements! Updates! A Year in Reveiw!

In the second half of our 2018 Kids Books special, we discuss and compare 'Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of the Vice President' by Charlotte Pence and its parody version 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Presents: A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo." We also delve into a lot of political discussions, parts of which are hilarisad in retrospect.

Drunk Queer Bitches Talk BookCon 2019! || Bonus

Join us for the second half of our discussion of Shirley Jackson's horror classic 'The Haunting of Hill House," In which Mk can't remember the book that this book reminds her of*, and we all go down a rabbit hole discussing the many screen adaptations of the novel. Edit: Mk is now fairly certain she was thinking of "The Veiled Picture" by Anne Radcliffe

10.2 Horror - The Haunting of Hill House

If August was our drunkest episode yet, October was our most distracted. Join Jared, Erin, Mk, and Tony as we talk about horror classic The Haunting of Hill House in between bunny trails about ghosts, other podcasts, and cancelled television. 

10.1 Horror - The Haunting of Hill House

Join us for part 2 of our discussion of Robert Cormier's 'The Chocolate War,' where we discuss the reasons why it remains one of the American Library Association's most frequently banned and challenged books. We also go down a rabbit hole of Catholic Church hierarchy, and are all very unnerved by the word "raffle."

9.2 Banned Book - The Chocolate War

In honor of Banned Books Week 2018, we discuss one of the American Library Association's most frequently banned and challenged books, Robert Cormier's 'The Chocolate War.' Join us as Jared mistakes Jesus Christ for a high school senior, Tony disappoints his family, and we are all very subtle about our feelings regarding certain characters. 

9.1 Banned Book - The Chocolate War, p1

In this second half of our discussion of An Unsuitable Job for a Woman, Erin recalls a tale from high school English class, Mk magically reappears, and Adam talks about Agatha Christie a lot. 

8.2 Mystery - An Unsuitable Job for a Woman

In our drunkest episode to date, we gather to discuss 'An Unsuitable Job for a Woman' by P.D. James. In his final appearance as one of the Usual Bitches, Adam alienates all of our listeners, then Tony has an interesting story about blood, and Mk vanishes between segments. 

8.1 Mystery: An Unsuitable Job for a Woman

The second half of our Ramona Blue episode has us playing lesbian bingo and doing a lot of shipping and pitching some fanfics. We also solve the Bi Problem in under 20 minutes.

In this episode, Usual Bitches Erin and Adam are joined by Special Bisexual Consultant Mk to discuss 'Ramona Blue' by Julie Murphy.

6.1 Queer YA: Ramona Blue

Part 2 of our discussion of The Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman, where we continue to revel in the horrors of this period of Canadian history, speculate on/wish for events after the ending, and discuss ways this story connects to small parts of our own experiences. 

5.2- Random Book: The Home for Unwanted Girls

We are four LGBT book lovers in West Virginia looking for an excuse to expand our literary horizons. To that end, we made a list of genres and sub-genres. Some we are familiar with, some will be alien territory. Each month, we’ll read a book from a different category and present our thoughts in podcast form. Welcome to Drunk, Queer Bitches Talk Books.
