  • Love the trio buttttttt

    Okay I love the pod, truly and genuinely so what I’m about to say may sound a bit harsh, but bear with me. I love the goofy humor and literary content Pools provides, so insightful, so detailed, I appreciate and applaud you 👏🏻. I love the stability, rationalization, and dry humor Kenz brings, keeping everything on track and making excellent points about things from Robin’s point of view. And I LOVE Lyndsey, I think she is passionate and detailed oriented and dedicated to the Strike point of vi... more

  • Love the pod!

    No one in my life has a Strike and Robin obsession so this podcast feels like home. It’s enhanced my rereads of of the books so much and I’ve gone from skipping the epigraphs (sorry) to really appreciating them. Love all the TS chat too.

    I don’t think Robin is even thinking of accepting Ryan. She’s furious about the ring.

    When she’s trying to figure out what she’s going to say, I think it’s what form of “no” to say.

    And now she has from the office to the Ritz to try to absorb this newest fly in the ointment of her life.

    Strike didn’t try to kiss her in the Ritz bar. It was the Ritz sidewalk. I’m assuming she’s going to get to that sidewalk and walk straight into a memory hole.

    She knows she needs therapy, not another jea... more

  • I was so excited to find this podcast because I thought it would be a normal book club style deep dive into the series, but OMG, these wannabe PhD super-shippers are looking for symbolism and meaning in EVERYTHING. Hint: this is a popular culture mystery series and way less deep or intentional than presented in this podcast which looks for circular themes, conspiracy theories and deeper meaning i every line. There is so much worthy discussion and criticism around these books but these Fan fic sh... more
