Girls Gone Canon Cast
Books & Literature
About
Eliana and Chloe embark on a journey through the pages of their favorite stories, explaining them through analogies to movies, literature, music, and of course, their own personal antecdotes - which range from the occasional raucous romp to the sharp wit... and of course, the dreaded pun. They're currently covering George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire POV by POV, and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and Book of Dust trilogies.
