We’d like to take a moment to wish a happy Pride Month to all — may you love freely and be loved for who you are.
In this episode, we’re talking about Chapters 10-11 of Book of Life — there’s crossroads and magical primers and spell-writing and Lisa Frank and… wait. Yes, the mistress of all things neon makes a brief appearance in this episode — but that’s why you come to C&C, right? Book talk with some tangential weirdness.
All Souls Con 2019 is approaching quickly — don’t forget to register for the online streaming pass or to let us know if we’re going to see you there! You can buy swag for the occasion from our Redbubble store.

Happy Sunday! It’s Memorial Day Weekend here in the United States and we hope you’re spending your holiday relaxing and enjoying the warming weather. It’s going to be a very busy summer for us and the rest of the All Souls Fandom, so let’s get our rest in while we can!
All Souls Con 2019 is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER and will be here before you know it. Because we know you like to wear your heart on your sleeve, we’re proud to announce the opening of our Redbubble shop (hooray!). This weekend, it looks like Redbubble is offering 20% OFF with the code QUICK20, so you can get C&C swag at a discount! If you purchase something, please tag us in a photo of you wearing or carrying our items — we LOVE seeing them in the wild.

In this episode, we’re talking about the return to Madison — facing Sarah’s grief, finding Diana’s community, the hard process of growing up, and how to have a healthy relationship with your negative emotions (spoiler alert: you need more than fence posts). We hope you enjoy the episode.
Between now and our next episode, you can catch us on Twitter @chamomilenclove, you can e-mail us at chamomileandclovecast@gmail.com, or you can join our Facebook group, the Chamomile & Clove Clovers.

It’s Sunday and we have some bright, fresh new content for you. It’s time to pour yourself your weekend beverage of choice, putter in the garden or pull out some knitting, gather the Pod Pets, and dive in to Chapters 3-4 of Book of Life. Be prepared to buckle up, though, because it’s time to talk about Worst Baldwin and Sweetest Gallowglass and the ever-unfolding tragedy of Philippe. We hope you enjoy it!
If you have questions, comments, concerns, ideas, thoughts, etc., you can find us all over the Internet! You can e-mail us at chamomileandclovecast@gmail.com, you can join our Facebook group, you can support us on Patreon, and you can follow us on Twitter as @chamomilenclove. Thanks for always being in our corner. We’re so lucky to have you.
It’s been a minute; we’ve finished our episode-by-episode analysis of A Discovery of Witches TV and we’re in a brief book episode hiatus to get ready for our chapter discussions of Book of Life (!). I can’t believe we’ve come so far; we’re so incredibly inspired by this fandom and pleased to be a part of the continuing magic that is the All Souls Trilogy.
In today’s episode, we’re joined by some fabulous newcomers to the All Souls fandom — Marci and John of the Pop Culture Theologians! We hope that you’ll find them as smart and funny as we do and that you’ll follow them in their continuing adventures on their podcast. In this episode, we talk about some very serious things (Diana’s POV, the tragedy of Juliette) and some not-so-serious things (Grey’s Anatomy! Made for TV Disney movies! The Marci-Mentions-Harry-Potter Drinking Game!). We hope you enjoy the show!
So far, the Pop Culture Theologians have covered The Purge and A Discovery of Witches. Next season, they’re covering Game of Thrones. You can find them on Twitter as @PopTheologians and on any pod-fetching service you like.
I am going to give you a peek into how things sometimes happen at C&C headquarters.
Imagine that you’re Jen, minding your own business on the West Coast (C&C West). It’s getting late on the East Coast (C&C East), so you’re settling down for the night. Then, your phone makes its chirpy text message noise.
*DING*
*DING*
*DINGDINGDINGDINGDING*
You pick up your phone, even though you know it’s not a good sign.
CAIT: I HAVE HAD *AN IDEA*
JEN: …
CAIT: It’s FABULOUS and LOADS OF EFFORT and HORRIBLY SPONTANEOUS.
JEN: …
CAIT: What do you think?
JEN: …
CAIT: I’M GOING IN.
JEN: *THUMBS UP*
As you may have guessed, my lovelies, this is one of those occasions. I’ve been scheming for ways to celebrate the premiere of ADOWTV on network television… and then I remembered that the sports ball tournament starts tomorrow. And that one can make A BRACKET. Well, IT IS DONE.
I present to you the inaugural ADOWTV March Madness. Here’s how it will work:
(1) Every day between now and Monday, 8 April 2019, I’ll post a poll on our Facebook page and our Twitter account.
(2) Vote for your favorite of the two scenes listed for that day. The scene with the least votes will be eliminated from the bracket.
(3) You can join in at any time and you don’t have to be a listener to play. Come join the fun and let’s see what shakes out!
(4) We’ll have the final vote and ranking on 8 April 2019, the day after the network TV premiere.
I know you want to see the bracket, so here it is in all of its glory:
You can download your own copy below, but I’ll post updated copies as we go. The first poll will be up in a matter of hours!
Some quick caveats: (1) I know some characters are underrepresented in this bracket, but anything over 24 scenes became LUDICROUS; (2) if your favorite scene isn’t represented, let me know! I’ll make a separate poll for the scenes I overlooked; (3) I’ll count both Twitter and Facebook votes; and (4) this is supposed to be FUN. Invite your friends! Talk to other fans! Enjoy it — I know I will.
In the meantime, join me in thanking Jen for loving me despite my bright ideas.
Chamomile & Clove
