Hey, readers ~ We’re back this week with a surprise update on the newest ACOTAR books. As soon as we saw this release, we knew we HAD to talk about it.

There’s so many discussions online right now about the new covers, titles, and potential leaks. What do you guys think about the new covers? Whose POV will we get? How will the new books relate to the Maas multiverse?

We’re hoping for some Throne of Glass crossovers, but what do y’all think?? What's your most outrageous, unhinged theories? The somewhat normal theories (as if those exist)? What are you most excited for? Leave a comment on your burning questions and biggest hopes for the new books!

We want to hear from you. The comments section is open. Definitely choose chaos. Join the discussion and let us know what you think. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Youtube @themidnightreaderspodcast.

Interested in more from us? You can also read our stream-of-consciousness reactions to the reading and show notes and see what didn't make it to the show on our Patreon now. And consider joining our growing community there for other bonus content and more.

Listeners, things started out...really weird at Morning Glory Milking Farm...and somehow...they just got weirder.

This week we're wrapping up our inaugural One Night Read book coverage. Violet's questionable career choice has officially turned into a full-blown romance. She's crossed the line from professional to might have accidentally acquired a monster boyfriend.

Our heroine has discovered that sometimes the strangest career paths come with unexpected benefits. Join us for the Morning Glory Milking Farm finale as we talk happy endings, resolutions, and the weirdest dating scene we've seen so far.

What are your thoughts? Did you enjoy that ending? Would you read another monster romance? And if so, what would you like for us to cover for our next One Night Reads? Any unhinged, funny, crazy reading recommendations welcome!

Well, listeners……We don’t know what to say for ourselves.

Our first “walk of shame,” on the podcast...And we’re loving every second of it!

Our first date is with a minotaur, with Morning Glory Milking Farm. Welcome to the newest bonus series on our roster, the One Night Reads~!

These are the books you can’t put down but maybe don’t want to be seen reading? The books you read in the middle of the night, tell your friends about all the shocking details (but probably not your parents), and you’re left thinking of them days later!

And we’re starting off with a bang. Morning Glory Milking Farm has made a name for itself for a reason - we’ve got a lot of questions and a lot of laughs as usual, so stick around til the end! Especially since we've included a blooper reel as a treat to celebrate this inaugural episode. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Hey, listeners. Happy Stay Week! If you know anything about us, it's probably that we're all Stays, as well as readers, and what better way to celebrate than by doing what readers do best: imagining eight incredibly talented men in a fictional world.

This week we're throwing books out the window (metaphorically) to answer one very important question: What kind of MMC would each member of Stray Kids be in a fictional novel?

Would Bang Chan be the self-sacrificing king? The Big Bad Wolf? Is Hyunjin the cursed prince? Is Changbin secretly the soft warrior with golden retriever energy? And is Felix the sunshine fae who's actually the most dangerous person in the forest?

Is Lee Know the morally gray assassin? Han, the sarcastic thief with abandonment issues? Is Seungmin the emotionally unavailable duke, and I.N secretly the chosen one who will save us all?

We have opinions. Lots of them. What do you think? Whether you're a lifelong Stay, a romance readers, or just wondering what the hell we're going on about, tell us what kind of fictional archetype you think fits each member, and join us as we overanalyze personalities, assign tropes, and celebrate another incredible year of being STAY.

Just remember if you do comment please remember these are REAL MEN, human beings. Be respectful to them and to others. Bullying will not be tolerated.

Hey readers~ We’re back this week to finish up The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova!

After 700 pages of dusty libraries, cryptic letters, suspicious academics and officials, and enough archival research to make the Library of Congress jealous, Dracula finally steps out of the shadows and reveals himself. The plans and mysteries of this delicious, decadently described novel are mostly left on the plate for us to poke at and question.

Paul and Helen’s fates come to a tragic end, but not in the way we expected. There were so many things left open and so many stones left unturned.

So now we have to ask: Did you guys feel the same? Who—or really what—do you think Dracula became? Is he truly gone? Did the ending satisfy you, or did you finish the book yelling in frustration?

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Join the discussion. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Youtube @themidnightreaderspodcast.

Hey readers~ This week we’re going to Bulgaria and meeting a whole new host of characters in Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian. Paul and Helen have discovered even more evidence, with the help of Turgut Bora (who we now know is in a special guard designed to hunt down Dracula himself), and they’re following it all the way to the source.

They gain a new babysitter thanks to the Cold War politics of the time, as well as a new research helper, one Professor Anton Stoichev. With Stoichev’s help, Paul and Helen make their way to the mysterious Sveti Georgi Monastery, where secrets untold will be revealed…

Will they find Rossi soon? There’s not much book left, and we’re getting worried! Join us this week as we theorize the origins of the mysterious dragon books and why it has led them this far with no Dracula to be found. I’m starting to think this book was just a personal passion project… what about y’all?

Hey listeners! Happy Tuesday and welcome back to the long, winding tale of The Historian.

We join Helen and Paul again as they ride off to Budapest with the help of Helena’s aunt Eva. Poor Paul is put firmly into the spotlight when he finds out that Aunt Eva has volunteered him as the keynote speaker of a history conference at Helen’s alma mater, a situation that has brought the attention of the cordial but mysterious Géza József, Helen’s ex.

We ALSO finally get the tragic tale of Helen’s mother and how Rossi found his way into her life, a tale of love and (again) lots of traveling. We have so many theories about Helen’s parentage and about how this story will eventually unfold - what happened to Rossi after he left Romania that kept him from returning?

If Helen is related to Dracula’s lineage, does this have any consequences for her potential vampirism? We need answers soon! Join us this week for some more speculation and travel through Eastern Europe!

What do you think about all of this? Join us for this week's episode, and let us know your thoughts in the comments! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Youtube @themidnightreaderspodcast.

This week, we're diving into part two of The Historian, where Paul and Helen collect yet another suspiciously convenient and male Dracula scholar. I mean seriously?!?!?!? Everyone keeps finding cursed books like it's the scavenger hunt from hell, and they're all having an absolutely terrible time.

Our duo are also digging through yet another archive, just to uncover exactly enough vampire lore to make a certain undead librarian nervous...except are they really making any real progress towards their goal of finding Dracula's tomb?

Is Dracula closer than ever, or are they just making terrible travel decisions? Meanwhile, we learn the truth of Helen's secret vampire lineage, and Paul just keeps being more and more insufferable.

What do you think? Join us for this week's episode, and let us know your feelings too in the comments! You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Youtube @themidnightreaderspodcast.
