This week we revisit the topic of Queen Elizabeth the First and her potential secretive history.

First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones is a fever dream of a book. It's two separate books mashed together with little to no link between them. The idea of a grim reaper/private investigator who sees ghosts, solves crimes, and also seduces ghosts is not a bad one. The execution however is infuriating and confusing. Please join Chelsea and Cristina as they recount this strange tale!

Newton decided to creature his own community around mental health but its actually a sex cult, no surprise there.
