#02: Gone Girl

We present to for your listening pleasure the second episode of our SisterLit podcast. All three of us sisters are here for this second podcast and our varied viewpoints are on full display in this podcast.

First we discuss our favorite books of all time. They are as listed as followed:
-Jennifer's List
  1. Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
  2. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  3. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
-Jillian's List
  1. Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
  2. Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
  3. Blink and Three by Ted Dekker
-Jessica's List

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
  1. Prisoner of Azkaban
  2. Order of the Phoenix 
We delve into the twisty world created by Gillian Flynn called Gone Girl. We talk many spoilers so do not listen if you have not read the book! If you would like to skip this segment it starts 15 minutes into the episode and ends at 38 minutes. We all agree that this book is a fun ride but very intense and not for everyone.

The end of the podcast is devoted to our listeners who have commented lovely things about our first podcast. We also talk briefly about our next books we will be reading. We will finish up our discussion of the Divergent trilogy next podcast and also talk about a new trilogy The Infenal Devices by Cassandra Clare.

Just for fun, we found that we were using the word Basically quite a lot in this podcast. Anyone who counts the basically's in this podcast gets a shout out in our next podcast will be out in January.

  1. Loved the ending with the bloopers - the one with Jennifer having to "pause" to go to the bathroom is really funny!

  2. Okay, I started to listen because I didn't think I would read "Gone Girl" but now I am running to the public library to get it! Thanks :)

    1. Nancy, I loved all of the Mortal Instruments books, I was quite surprised to find that I loved the Clockwork Series (The Infernal Devices) even more! I think we will be tearing this one apart in a future movie adaptation podcast because the book was so good but the movie was so bad. :( Thanks for Listening!

    Nice Job, Sisters! By listening to your podcast, I can now pretend that I have read several more books than I actually have read. :) Thank you and keep up the good work! Love you girls!

    1. BTW since you are a sister too, you are welcome on the podcast anytime! Would love to hear your suggestions, we actually talked a little bit about Bossypants before the show yesterday which was your recommend.

  5. Smiling again! Thank you Sister Lit! I love Jen's phrase, "If you know me at all..." and Jillian's "Hmm" "Hmm" sounds just like your Mom! I love hearing Jessica's voice added to the podcast and enjoy her candid remarks! I am now thinking of baby names and eager to FIND my Kindle to read Gone Girl! "If you know me at all...." :) <3
