2025-02-22 23:39:28 +0000 UTCI'll just throw it out there that there is a game called "Marrying Mr. Darcy." I enjoy it because P&P is my favorite book, but I think it can be appreciated from a silly angle as well. I think the 2 Crew would have a field day with it!

2025-02-17 08:16:41 +0000 UTCI may have to purchase this book for myself...

2025-02-17 07:09:07 +0000 UTCI have to come back and listen to this later because it’s so funny I’m bursting out laughing in bed while my partner tries to sleep
Amani Hope
2025-01-25 07:55:44 +0000 UTCOne of the funniest choose your own adventures y’all have done! I’ve listened to it multiple times already and just absolutely cackling
Charlie Dejesus
2025-01-23 23:54:27 +0000 UTCI unironically want to see all the potential outcomes, wish they went for a second run like other 8BBC books
Borgar
2025-01-23 19:39:27 +0000 UTCI second Siobhan’s suggestion. I read The Historian 8 years ago and it was very fun read.
Winterbat
2025-01-17 05:41:02 +0000 UTCHaha a happy ever after searching for Atlantis together is cute as hell. 😂
Onna
2025-01-17 02:18:24 +0000 UTCAs if they won't immediately twist those endings into something Atlantis-related
Alan Ma
2025-01-17 01:53:43 +0000 UTCGreat idea! I'm gonna copy you
MsMagey
2025-01-16 19:51:22 +0000 UTCBeauchamp and Lane’s endings are both really sweet, I’d love to see y’all try those routes to the end!
Onna
2025-01-16 00:18:10 +0000 UTCI love Murph’s 8 bit book club catch phrase “Every one, shut the fuck up.”

2025-01-15 20:41:40 +0000 UTCI just read Pride and Prejudice for the first time, so that I could re-listen and get it better. Great book, should have read it sooner.
Hrishi Venkatesh
2025-01-15 20:30:32 +0000 UTCCompletely agree, and it was also her first published book.
Garrin Stuart
2025-01-15 18:17:41 +0000 UTCSiobhan's book rec at the end: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is such a good book! a bit of a beast to get through but such a great historical fiction with Dracula.

DMCDawg
2025-01-14 19:48:30 +0000 UTCHaha this is awesome; I'm an audiobook narrator and have done like a hundred or so Pride and Prejudice variations (Jane Austen fanfic)! This is my life, day to day!
Harry Frost
2025-01-14 11:14:29 +0000 UTCI just watched pride and prejudice I was very disappointed it had nothing to do with Atlantis

Suzanna DePeri
2025-01-13 22:40:17 +0000 UTCMan the crews inherent need to shift in as far of a direction away from the story is truly inspiring. I love these adventure books so muc

2025-01-13 08:53:55 +0000 UTCI love how all Murph needed to get on the Beauchamp train was to hear that he was muscular
Blue Bee
2025-01-13 07:08:51 +0000 UTCIt’s a lot funnier than I expected. The period dialogue is so sparkly. The ending with the sunrise shot was stunning. Mr. Darcy’s hand flex was also such an incredible detail. It’s conveyed so much visually, which is so important for a book adaptation. I can see why the book and the movie are in the cultural canon.
Hammy
2025-01-13 05:13:03 +0000 UTCWhen the book is about adventure, they're obsessed with romance. When it's about romance, they're obsessed with adventure.

2025-01-13 04:13:56 +0000 UTCThis episode made me laugh so hard I was having to wipe my eyes while driving! Omg so good. Yes please, more insane romance choose your own adventure!

2025-01-13 02:34:37 +0000 UTCWould Siobhan be willing to do a book recs list? :o All these books sound rad.

2025-01-13 02:16:02 +0000 UTCSiobhan was such a delight on this
Jelly
2025-01-13 01:50:31 +0000 UTCThe way I *immediately* bought the 5 dollar Kindle version and I am reading it in Murph’s voice and cackling to my dog…
Susan Rattigan
2025-01-13 01:06:58 +0000 UTCHope you all are safe.

Caitlyn Dill
2025-01-12 18:52:33 +0000 UTC"Wiggles his chin" invokes the Kodama head motions from Princess Mononoke for me, and I can't stop laughing
Myka
2025-01-12 18:05:45 +0000 UTCThe Historian is a great book
JR Lonergan
2025-01-12 09:36:52 +0000 UTCI watched Pride and Prejudice just to have some context for this
Hammy
2025-01-12 07:57:53 +0000 UTCSo I just learned of the Animorphs tv series… we’ve never needed anything more than for the crew to do an animorphs mixed bag or 8bbc
Jake Klein
2025-01-12 06:25:48 +0000 UTCThis was maybe my favorite episode of a choose your own adventure. Siobhan was the perfect guest for this episode. I love how Murph got really into the world and was trying to enjoy his first regency ball, but there’re no regency balls in Atlantis.
Like a bat out of The 9 Hells I’ll be gone when the morning comes

SurvingLaw
2025-01-11 21:00:37 +0000 UTCGuys - a Regency-Era Atlantis mystery combined with a Grail quest, staring socialites, Templars, steampunk inventors, and a race of sentient fish men is SUCH a fun adventure premise to pull out of this choose-your-own-adventure book! I can already see the graphic novel! The movie! The DnD campaign! Set against the backdrop of Napoleonic war, a king’s madness, and the cloying social etiquette of the period, a team of unconventional women search for the bathysphere that never surfaced.

2025-01-11 17:35:44 +0000 UTCI’ve been among the many eager to hear an update about your safety, I had to remind myself that you don’t owe us one until you’re ready. Thank you for taking the time to put us at ease in this horrific time. I am so happy to hear you all are well and am sending so much love your way. You’ve brought this community so much joy and comfort I hope you’ll give us opportunities to provide the same to you in this time. Much love ❤️.

2025-01-11 17:24:28 +0000 UTCSo glad to hear! Thank you Caldwell, I know I'm just a fan, and I didn't want to bother you all, but my wife and I were so worried.

2025-01-10 22:50:14 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed the vibe of doing a Jane Austen adventure book. It's different, it's hip, and I enjoyed it.
Travis Dreelin
