    Episode 94: Tomes & Tonics & Familiars in Different Area Codes
    Oct 14 2026
    The yearning, the dark academia vibes, the owls, the salt guardians, the full circle moments! This week we're returning to Yale for one final adventure with the League of Lethe and our lovable found family by covering the last installment in Leigh Bardugo's amazing Alex Stern series, "Dead Beat." But first, we dive into all the bookish news, discuss adaptations of the classics (calling all Phantom of the Opera fans), and chat about our latest reads and this week in book history! Then it's all things Dead Beat - from Darlington's yearning to Trey's new...tonic of choice to Dawes becoming a certified badass and Alex's satisfying arc - this last installment is a wild, page turning ride that almost put Lauren into a reading slump. So grab your favorite fall tonic and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics!

    *Queue a bird of prey sound effect* for this week's episode of Tomes & Tonics! We're still buzzing from finishing Dead Beat and CANNOT WAIT to dive into this one next week. But first, Christina announces our next bingo pick, we catch up on our latest reads, with this being Christina's lightest reading week in a hot minute, and dish the latest bookish news and learn some fun history facts on this week's Past Pages segment. Then we chat all about our latest bingo pick, Kristin Hannah's historical fiction novel, "The Four Winds." From the resilient characters to the tragic arcs, from the Great Depression to communism in Hollywood, we discuss the historic context behind Kristin Hannah's sweeping story of Elsa and her fight to protect her family in the face of unsurmountable difficulty, including one our least favorite male characters we've read in a while. So grab some Cooper's Hawk or your fave mocktail and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics!
