372 Pages Ep 183 – Book 33: Ugly Love

Support the podcast on Patreon, where they found out what the book was a week ago! https://patreon.com/372pages

It’s been 32 books, but it’s finally time for us to learn what the most popular author on the planet, Colleen Hoover is all about. This book is “Ugly Love” which has about as many reviews on Goodreads as every book we’ve covered on the podcast combined. Despite the fact that it is, by all accounts, not very good. And yes, at least one of us is already familiar with that passage from it…

We’ll discuss CoHo and the CoHorts and then Conor challenges Mike to a Price Is Right style game based on our back catalog’s popularity on Goodreads.

Assignment: Read thru Chapter 8

This is our last reading of The Legend of Rah & the Muggles, so obviously, the following things will be resolved, wrapped up, made clear, etc.

-The golden key
-The box in the cave
-Rah and Zyn’s parents
-Sir Geoffrey
-The Worry Stone
-The letter from their mother
-How many Manchineet trees are there and should they destroy them?
-Can eating grass alone sustain a(n admittedly mutated) human being for seven years?

So, yeah: all wrapped up. We have no further questions.

Here is a gallery of images discussed in the episode

280 Mysteries We’ll Never Get Back #5 – The Case of Bugs Meany, Detective

In our latest foray into Idaville based petty crime, Mike will not be alone in his attempt to solve a mystery. He’ll also have to compete with legendary ne’er-do-well Bugs Meany, who has started his own detective agency to compete with Bad Bad Leroy.

This episode features one of the more legendary solutions we’ve encountered in the run of the podcast, so you’ll definitely want to listen because this one absolutely would not hold up in a court of law.

372 Pages Ep 181 – Muggles #2 – Look, Dr. Dibbs is Obviously Not a Real Doctor…

Let’s start by confessing that, yes; The Legend of Rah & the Muggles is obviously a children’s book. I mean, the nuclear holocaust on page one. The small, deformed, hairless creatures getting dragged away by terrifying rodents. Giant horse ants. Fruit worms. This is kid stuff.

Still! That does not deter Mike nor Conor from doing their sacred duty to talk at length about Uncle Fred, a character mentioned once in a poem!

For next time: finish the damn book!

280 Mysteries We’ll Never Get Back #4 – The Case of the Frightened Witness

Witness Intimidation is all the rage in Idaville, as Mike tries to solve the most insanely diabolical “mystery” the boy detective and your hosts have encountered so far. Sobol, you monster!
