#Booktube – July 2019 Recap
Hello, Skiffy and Fanty fans! Somehow August happened while we weren’t looking, which means it’s time for you to catch up on our July #booktube episodes! First up, in our main episode we get a review of Mary Robinette Kowal’s The Calculating Stars and then Benjanun Sriduangkaew’s newest novella, And Shall Machines Surrender, then we dig into what we’re all reading and looking forward to, and finally, Shaun wraps up the month talking about the dreaded SUCK FAIRY!! Enjoy!
#Booktube – June 2019 Recap
Hello, Skiffy and Fanty fans! It’s suddenly July, which means that it’s time for you to go catch up on all the #Booktube episodes we posted last month! We started with some #Pride recommendations, reviews of We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal and the NSFW webcomic Alfie by InCase, moved to our monster pile of TBRs, and ended with a brilliant take down of the soft imperialism in Mary Norton’s Bedknob and Broomsticks! Enjoy!
#Booktube – May 2019
Because it’s proving difficult for us to do this on a consistent basis, we’ll just be doing monthly wrap-ups! May was a bit light, as was everything around here, but hopefully you’ll enjoy some of the fun content we produced! We were super excited when we got to 100 subs last month because it means we now have a unique url for our Youtube channel! It’s Youtube.com/skiffyandfanty, so head on over there any time and subscribe if you haven’t already. Another way to make sure you don’t miss these is to sign up for our newsletter. These are in the order we posted them, not by show (because they do occasionally reference one another!)
#Booktube – Catching up!
Hey everyone! So, because we’re terrible at cross-promoting things, we keep forgetting to post our #Booktube episodes here on the blog. As such, here is every episode that we haven’t shared with you. Future episodes will hopefully be posted in a more timely fashion, although we can’t actually guarantee that. Another way to make sure you don’t miss these is to sign up for our newsletter OR just go subscribe to our channel on YouTube! We’re really hoping to get to 100 subs so that we can get a unique url! These are in the order we posted them, not by show (because they do occasionally reference one another!)

Adventures in SF Parenting: Kids and their YouTubez
Recently, I realized that I am no longer relevant. This was not something that I thought would happen to me at the tender age of 35, but I don’t really get a say in the matter. It is also possible that I wouldn’t have realized this for another decade had I not had children at a very young age. Or perhaps if I were less liberal with my computer usage policies in our home. Regardless, the epiphany occurred, and it was mind blowing. A little background data for those of you who haven’t listened to The Skiffy and Fanty Show podcast – I am the occasionally proud, more commonly flabbergasted, parent of two girls. My daughters are 11 and 12 years of age, and they are both in 7th grade at a local public Junior High School. You’ll learn more about that at some point in these “Adventures in SF Parenting” posts. Suffice it to say, if you bothered to do the math, I had my kids when I was fairly young. I was 22 when my older daughter, Mo, was born, my husband was only 18. That probably gave us an entirely different viewpoint on parenting than
