Booktrovert Babes Podcast

Join us as we discuss different reasons why we may procrastinate reading a book, whether it's a book rec' by a friend, BookTok or something we have sitting on the shelf.

We've had a few comments asking about what some of our "bookish slang" means... so join us as we go through a bunch of the different terms you hear in our episodes and what they mean!

Physical books, audiobooks & Kindles, oh my! Join us as we discuss our preferred reading methods!

Join us for some fun as we go through how we rank 50 different typical book tropes!

WARNING: This episode has hardly any non-spoiler bits, so if you haven't read the book yet and are planning to... skip this episode for now and listen to it later after finishing the book!

We're talking trigger warnings in books today! Ones that hit home, ones that we avoid, and even a few that we (Taylor) get excited about.

*WARNING* This is a very sensitive topic, so please take care of yourself and either read with caution or skip this episode. We will understand! Also, as we mention in our disclaimer, while we make light of some of the triggers, it is not because we view them as unimportant. This is just the way we deal with them and we are very comfortable talking about them. We know that's not the case for everyone though, so PLEASE take care of yourself first!

Join us for our first ever Book Review Episode as we discuss all our feelings about Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan. This was recorded during our first ever live stream! If you have heard Rubix say anything about Taylor recommending "fluffy" books, this is where you'll find the backstory.

If you HAVE NOT read this book and you plan to, stop listening at 30 minutes in to avoid spoilers! You can always come back and finish the episode when you're done with the book!
