  • Episode 111: Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix
    In the final episode of our third Cinderella era, Daurie and Cassie come together to discuss the classic Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix, an exploration of what happens after Happily Ever After, when life for Ella has become an endless round of lessons and restrictions and even worse, Prince Charming turns out to be more like Prince Boring. Why can't she talk with him the way she can with Jed, her earnest young tutor? Slowly, Ella comes to realize she doesn't want the life she fought so hard to win. But breaking her engagement proves more difficult -- and dangerous -- than escaping her stepmother's tyranny. Join us as we discuss our lengthy history with this novel, its impact on our soup eating, and the intricacies of glass blowing. We also touch on the novel's more problematic elements in the form of some pacing issues and its tendency toward fat-shaming.Trigger warnings for this book and episode include body image discussions, torture, physical assault, and threats of sexual assault.

  • Episode 110: Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter
    For episode two of our third Cinderella era, Cassie is joined by Matt to discuss Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter, a retelling of the Russian Cinderella-esque story Vasilisa the Beautiful. When Vassa’s stepsister sends her out to buy lightbulbs in the middle of the night, she knows it could easily become a suicide mission. Babs Yagg, the owner of the local convenience store, has a policy of beheading shoplifters―and sometimes innocent shoppers as well. But Vassa has a bit of luck hidden in her pocket, a gift from her dead mother. Erg is a tough-talking wooden doll with sticky fingers, a bottomless stomach, and ferocious cunning. With Erg’s help, Vassa just might be able to break the witch’s curse and free her Brooklyn neighborhood. Join us as we discuss the original Russian tale, complicated modern family relationships, anthropomorphized pangolins, and the nature of grief.Join our community!
