Today, we're diving into a sassy and delightfully dramatic world of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter! We're stepping back in time to explore the Puritanical streets of 17th-century Boston, where fashion faux pas were the least of anyone's worries. We'll explore the story's hidden depths, the characters' secret rendezvous spots, and the scandalous rumors that would put modern-day tabloids to shame. We'll laugh, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear or two, but we promise it'll be a rollercoaster ride you won't soon forget!

A on the REAL author of Frankenstein (it's what you'd hoped--better than...), some to do with small boxes, and yes, I call it episode 116. It's not.   And Who Knew?! Who knew we'd have a run to the emergency room on Halloween night, an election that took up WAY more time than we thought, a novel that is actually progressing, various illnesses (hello Coxsackie!) and, you know, the rest of the life stuff.   Enjoy chapters 42 and 43!

The links for you: ; links to ; link ; link to fabu book (and the you should watch first); links to (the Mennonite book), , , , (, , ), ; and a .   The Chapter That Will Make You Cry (40) begins at 19 minutes and 57 seconds, The One That Wont Make You Cry (41) starts up at 34 minutes and 8 seconds...so you can kick back in safely.   I don't think we'll have this trouble with Dr. Jeckyl.    

This comes between 113 and 114.

Check out for more information!   And, just a headsup--chapter 36 might get you teary--not HUGEly teary, but for those of you who've experienced familial sadness recently...you might just want to skip to 1 hour 2 minutes* and hear my summation.   And apologies about the faux length of the episode. It's really only an hour and four or so minutes, but it took two days to export the audio to mp3 format (yeah, when I figure this out, someone should give me a prize--I have NO idea) so as soon as I figure out the problem, I'll cut the episode back down to reality and r
