A world of infinite halls where Piranesi roams and makes his home. There are 16 people from this world with only two alive – himself and ‘The other’. In this world, they lead different lives as Piranesi tracks the events of the years that pass. But as we delve deeper into the cavernous halls, we also delve into the life of Piranesi and page by age we begin to learn that this world is not all it seems, and Piranesi is not who he thinks he is.
Painting: I painted a statue at the centre of a spiral to mimic a labyrinth
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Piranesi” by Susanna Clarke
“Big Swiss” by Jen Beagin

Two novellas for the price of one and it's a bargain with the skill of Nora Gold on full display. Two stories that navigate different issues in two very different ways. But both the stories are similar in that they require inflection and honesty - an inflective process and honesty that transfers to the reader with every page turned.
Painting: I painted A sick woman in a bed because that is essentially what one story entails, but i also added in honey, because the other story discusses honey cake, and it made me hungry!
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Yom Kippur in a Gym” by Nora Gold
“In Sickness and in Health” by Nora Gold
“Gilden-Fire” Stephan Donaldson
“The Goblet of Fire” by J.K. Rowling

We are back in The Land, and Thomas is just insufferable and unbelieving in his situation. Assuming He is living through a dream sequence, he rejects the dream in a bid to not commit to a growing madness in his mind. But this existential exploration of action vs inaction lays out across the Land and the scope of this book making it one of the most defeating books.
Painting: I painted the great forest of Garroting Deep which plays an integral role in the brutality of the end of this story
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Illearth War” by Stephan Donaldson
“The Power that Preserves” by Stephan Donaldson

Harry, now into his teen years is faced with a radically different scenario at Hogwarts. He is no longer seeking out the drama. Instead, the drama is seeking him, stalking him, haunting him…
Painting: I painted Harry performing the petronus charm because that is a great scene
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Prisoner of Azkaban” by J.K. Rowling
“Big Swiss” by Jen Beagin

Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" is the novel that delves into the mental intricacies of the human mind. The page by page decent of madness sees Esther become increasingly abstracted from the world, but as this is happening, I felt myself more and more abstracted from the story. Tune in this week to hear my thoughts on Plath’s only novel.
Painting: I painted a silhouette of a city because the opening lines to this novel hooked me.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath
“Yom Kippur in a Gym” by Nora Gold
“In Sickness and in Health” Nora Gold

R.F. Kuang’s Yellowface. Complex to a degree, problematic to a degree, controversial to a degree. Kuang's narrative delves into the intricacies of racial identity and the absurdities of cultural appropriation with a finesse that leaves readers simultaneously chuckling and contemplating the nature of the publishing world and the individual.
Painting: I painted a book with the truth authors name crossed out and replaced.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Yellowface” by J.F. Kuang
“The Bookbinder of Jericho” by Pip Williams
“Papyrus” Irene Vallejo
“The Sydney Wars” Stephan Gapps

A fantasy novel known for pushing the boundaries of what not only fantasy can do, but literature as a whole. A leper by the name of Thomas Covenant is cast into a fantasy land he disregards as a bad dream, after falling and hitting his head. But, if this is all a dream, are the consequences of our actions void, or do they hold weight upon our minds?
Painting: I painted The Staff of Law which is a major plot point for the novel, along with the glowing eyes of Drool Rockworm because they both were so vivid during my read
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Chronicles of Thomas Covenent: Lord Fouls Bane” by Stephan Donaldson
“The Chronicles of Thomas Covenent: The Illearth War” by Stephan Donaldson

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets explores the depths of the castle Hogwarts, it introduces us to some new faces and reveals some dark magic that will be explored across the remaining books.

A tale of shipwreck, mutiny, and murder. A tale of human endurance. David Grann’s ‘The Wager’ is the shocking true tale of the Wager, a ship that makes up part of the English fleet.

But what happens when survival drives you to do things that are against the admirality?
Painting: I painted what I view Wager Island to be like. Dark and harsh.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Wager” by David Grann

In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit… And with these words, we begin our journey into one of the richest fantasy worlds ever created, and our first glimpse into the world of Hobbits.
Painting: I painted a hobbit door opening upon an acorn because I think the movie got this scene exactly right. The acorn is the love Bilbo has for the world over the greed of dragon gold.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien
“The Chamber of Secrets” J.K. Rowling
