#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.

New Sisterlit podcast tonight!

Merry Christmas! SisterLit will be putting up podcast #2 tonight. Jen, Jess and Jillian all be on tonight, stay tuned!

SisterLit now Live on ITunes!

To everyone interested in being a part of our new podcast, I have just found us Live on ITunes! If you have ITunes on your phone or MP3 player you can subscribe to our podcast on there and each time we record a new podcast it will pop up on you phone or mp3 player. You will still always be able to listen to it here on our blog but this way you have the option to take it wherever you go, I always listen to podcasts on my commute to work, or while exercising, or when you do whatever it is you do with a radio in the background. I also have changed some settings that would make it easier to post comments on this blog page, If you have tried before and it didn't work it should now, so give commenting a try, We really need some new book suggestions!

Also, Jillian, Jessica and myself (Jen) are planning on recording a new podcast on the evening of 12/26. We are planning on discussing Gone Girl and discuss where we are all at in the Divergent Series. See you then!

#01: Divergent

Show Notes

Welcome to the brand spankin' new podcast and book club, SisterLit, in which we discuss fiction and our latest family quirks. We introduce several titles of interest, discuss one at length, and weave our unique perspectives and wit into each commentary. 

In this episode, we delve into the novel Divergent, the first in a trilogy by Veronica Roth. We also assign a faction for each one of our family members without their input in the matter. We rant our opinions about reading novels before movies like eating cookie dough before the cookie.

We talk about the beginnings of reading for each one of us, starting indelibly with our parents commitment to Value Tales, like this one with the guy who we thought discovered penicillin. 

Above all, we challenge you to read and to take this adventure with us. We warmly thank you each for listening. Please leave us comments about anything we have discussed or with suggestions on what you would like to hear! 

Below are a list of the books we talked about:

• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
• Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• Love's Executioner by Irvin Yalom
• Buddha's Brain by Rick Hanson
• The Razorland Trilogy by Ann Aguirre
