Feminist Book Club: The Podcast
Arts:Books
Not every book is a slam dunk, but we’re going to discuss them anyways. However, when a book is good, it’s really good. In this two-part episode, you’ll hear Jordy, Mariquita, and Nox discuss a book that wasn’t quite their cup of tea as well as a glowing review from Renee of a recent release.
Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan mini book club discussion (01:56)
First up, Jordy, Mariquita, and Nox sit down to discuss the romance (with a sprinkling of fantasy) book, Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan. This conversation dives into the believability of the romance between the two main characters, can our protagonist really smell a curse, and what’s with curse-breaking sex?
Review: Say Hello to My Little Friend by Jennine Capó Crucet (19:38)
Then listen in as Renee shares her thoughts on a recently released book that’s not getting nearly the attention it deserves. Say Hello to My Little Friend is (hilariously and accurately) described as Moby Dick meets Scarface. Renee shares why she loved it, how it’s feminist, and a hyper-specific niche it fits into.

Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan
