  • The Things We Read Instead Christmas Special
    Dec 27 2024

    Hello Readers.


    Welcome to the final part of our Christmas Special. So far we've waxed lyrical about Rivals, lambasted Bridgerton and gone to town about our top books of the year. After all that we thought it was time for a little bit of silliness before wrapping up the first season with a great big Christmas bow! So get ready for a few rounds of Shag, Marry, Kill with our beloved Girly Swot and the War Bore.


    From all of us at the Quackcave, We've had a blast with season 1 and have loved receiving so many fantastic messages and comments. We all hope you have a fantastic Christmas and we will be back in the New Year with more fantastic content for you to listen to. Make sure you have are subscribed wherever you get your podcasts to make sure you get the new episodes as soon as they drop!
