Happy Saturday, book clubbers! This month, we read ‘Alone With You in the Ether’ by Olivie Blake. The book follows our two main characters, Regan and Aldo, who meet by chance at the Art Institute. Prior to the meeting, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. And then, well, they fall in love. But, like all good romance books, their love story is complicated, and we’re taken on the ride.  Got some thoughts on our April pick, ‘Vladimir’ by Julia May Jones? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub.

Hey, friends! On today’s show: Oh, Gwyneth. The founder of Goop and lover of “rectal ozone therapy” has shared her diet on a wellness podcast and it sounds like a parody. Plus! Taylor Swift’s eras tour is here and it’s about as Taylor Swift as you can get, we’ve found the missing piece of the Law Roach retirement puzzle, and is Emma Chamberlain really charging $10,000 for an Instagram DM?

G’day, mates! Welcome to the final installment of our series on Hollywood Philanderers. Today, we’re talking about Ralph Fiennes. He’s probably not the most front-of-mind celebrity in 2023, but the real-life stories behind the man who played Voldemort in Harry Potter or the love interest in Maid in Manhattan are almost better than fiction.

Happy Saturday, bookworms! This month, we read ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ by best-selling author Gabrielle Zevin. The novel is, at its core, a love story between two brilliant gamers, but not a love story in the way you’d expect. Sadie and Sam form a friendship as children in a hospital gaming room and re-kindle as 25-year-olds years later at a train station. The natural connection that bonded them as kids instantly resumes, and, strengthened by their shared interest in video games, they become intrinsically linked as business partners, collaborators, and best friends. Together with the help of Sam’s housemate Marx and Sadie’s ex-professor slash lover Dov, they create the blockbuster hit, Ichigo, catapulting Sadie and Sam into great gaming success. With the wins though, came the losses - losses that shook their friendship and world entirely. Got some thoughts on our February pick, ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ by Richard Osman?
