Description

In this episode, Élaina and Eva wade into the crocodile-infested waters of “Jawbone”, the horror novel by Mónica Ojeda, translated from Spanish by Sarah Booker. Set in Ecuador, this gothic coming of age tale is as mesmerising as it is disturbing. And, of course, as former teenage girls who now teach the youth, your hosts have THOUGHTS. This was a fun one (and a dark one), y’all.
As always, this podcast is spoiler-FULL.
CW: Body horror, blood, kidnapping, torture

Have you ever read a book and wished you could linger in its world? Has an author ever dropped a reference that makes you want to look it up and fall into a research rabbit hole? In Bookshelf Remix, Sophia and Elaina, two “professional readers” get stuck into reading for fun and things get very nerdy. Drop in on their conversations and follow along as a Mexican-American and Filipina-Canadian discuss books (including spoilers!) by BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, and other historically marginalised authors and take a deep dive into themes they want to learn more about.
