speaker_12AUDIENCE
So I'm just wondering if in the future, some of those books may entail a little murder mystery, Rachel Gilligan twist.
Rachel GilligGUEST
What a great question.
BertHOST
That one was first published in 2019, so doing particularly well for that reissue.
BertHOST
The Correspondent is a no move at number three for Virginia Evans and a new entry at number two for Rachel Gillig's The Knave and the Moon, which means Freda McFadden's brain damage stays at number one.
BertHOST
Will it still be there next week? Well, that I think is highly unlikely.
BertHOST
Let's take a look at the Pillar of Power.
speaker_3HOST
She focuses on the quiet moments of connection between disparate species trying to survive in a vast indifferent universe.
speaker_2HOST
Then we have Rachel Gillig returning to her lush gothic romantasy with The Knave and the Moon.
speaker_2HOST
This is the highly anticipated sequel to The Knight and the Moth, promising even higher stakes and deeper emotional longings for its characters.

Zinzi BreeHOST
A factor for me in picking this book is one of our listeners, their spouse has read it and they said that they would be interested in us covering this book because this particular... couple enjoys our podcast together.
Zinzi BreeHOST
So that influenced me in picking, can I, I will go ahead and say this, The Night in the Moth by Rachel Gillig.
Zinzi BreeHOST
So we were looking to cover The Night in the Moth and then The Knave and the Moon.
Zinzi BreeHOST
The planned content for this episode, right, before it went off the rails with the my text this morning was we were going to discuss was what was your guys' experience with reading Rachel Gillig's books.
Zinzi BreeHOST
Sage has already shared that she had and loved the other duology.
