10 - Thumb People Show up to a Fight
The book that started it all– with beautiful new cover art. Turns out, we do judge a book by its cover!
In this penultimate episode of Books, Blackouts, and Brunch's first season, Eileen, Kaleigh, and Megan embark on a fantastical journey through the pages of Kevin Hearne's "Hounded," the first book in the Iron Druid Chronicles. The hosts dive into the adventures of Atticus O'Sullivan, the last of the ancient Druids, who lives quietly in Arizona with his Irish wolfhound, Oberon—until mythological mayhem ensues.
Eileen, Kaleigh, and Megan share their excitement over the book's unique blend of modern-day humor and ancient mythology, discussing their favorite scenes and laugh-out-loud moments.
Old ladies, vampires, wolfhounds oh-My!
Speculating on what might come next in the series, Eileen, Kaleigh, and Megan eagerly discuss their theories and hopes for Atticus's future adventures. With plenty of wild fan theories, witty banter, and, of course, mimosas, this episode is a delightful celebration of Hearne's imaginative storytelling.
Join the hosts as they uncover the magic and mischief of "Hounded," offering listeners an entertaining and insightful exploration of a thrilling new series.
Kick back, grab your glass, and get ready for what's about to unfold.
Reminder there will be no new novella episode next week.
