Read excerpt
This week on Two Crones and a Book, the bingo wheel called the crones out — loudly. The theme? A book that’s been sitting on your shelf or lurking on your TBR for far, far too long. And oh, did the crones have some literary skeletons to drag into the light. Chell finally tackled Scare Streets, Ron Ripley’s Berkley Street series — a gritty, ghost‑ridden dive into a supernatural underbelly. Annette, meanwhile, read Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan — a quiet, devastating, beautifully crafte

Ep 123 Bingo A book published in a decade before you were born (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Two Crones and a Book, the bingo wheel whisked the crones back in time — to stories born long before either of them arrived on this earth. And oh, did they dig up some strange treasures. Chell plunged into The Beetle by Richard Marsh, a gloriously bizarre slice of Victorian horror packed with melodrama, shapeshifting menace, and enough gothic chaos to make even Dracula look like he needs to up his game. She unravels the wild plot twists, the theatrical dread, and the deliciously unh
