Hi! I'm your host Britt! This month I'm re-evaluating podcast expectations and schedule (there's not one anymore), renaming episodes, and talking about LGBTQIA+ recommendations as well as other books I have read in my longer than brief hiatus from the podcast! Thanks for listening!

This week we have a short episode where I review Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry and Funny Story by Emily Henry.

I also talk about some books I'm currently reading; Queen of Faces by Petra Lord, The Women by Kristin Hannah a historical fiction about women who were involved in the Vietnam war, Tia Williams Audre & Bash Are Just Friends, A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, and Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green.

Additionally, I'm moving the podcast to a monthly cadence for full episodes and am hoping to splice in some mini-sodes/author content in between!

Thanks for listening!

Britt

This week on Britt's Book Binge, I'm telling you about two books that I finished reading at the tail end of March; Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Tart and Seven Days in June by Tia Williams.

Women of a Promiscuous Nature is a Historical Fiction and Seven Days in June is a Nonfiction Romance with a chronic pain main character, Eva who is an erotic fiction author and single mom with chronic migraines. I read it as part of a chronic illness/chronic pain book club that I'm in.

I also talk about books I'm reading right now; Book 4 in the Archie Sheridan and Gretchen Lowell series by Chelsea Cain, Queen of Faces by Petra Lord, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, and Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.

Thanks for listening and chat at you next week, refreshed from a girls glamping trip for my friend Lindsey's birthday, and with a renewed sense of purpose, and hopefully a book or two under my belt.

This week I'm talking about Project Hail Mary the book versus the movie.

Other recommendations this week;

Half His Age by Jenette McCurdy

Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart

I also briefly talk about a self-published author who reached out to me and asked me to read her book. I am interested in doing more collaborations with authors in the future when it presents itself.

I'm taking a 2 week break after this week! I'll start posting episodes again April 7th and am going to start doing 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off to allow myself time and space for my chronic pain and full time job so that this remains a fun and safe space for me to share with you!

Thanks for listening! Britt

This is week 7, which means I have stuck to recording each week for you, for the past 7 weeks. If my math skills don't deceive me, that means I have been doing this for 49 days.

Anyway, this week I'm telling you way too much about my life and then telling you about the book Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Stay tuned for what I just finished reading, what I'm reading next, and rambling about my life!

Thanks for listening :).

This week I'm telling you about 4 books that I read in February and setting you up for my current March Reads! I forgot to mention Remarkably Bright Creatures, which my sister in law got me because she is reading it! But I did talk about What My Bones know which is a reaaaaallly good book about trauma and childhood trauma specifically and how it can change our lives and how we have to unravel that trauma and it's so good, don't worry I'll be talking about that one in a future episode and juxtaposed to I'm Glad My Mom Died and Crying in H Mart. So look forward to that one!

This week, Britt has researched some different points of view on whether audiobooks count as "reading." She will also talk at the end about some of her favorite audiobooks that you should check out!

Synopsis: Britt feels like people can "count" audiobooks as reading, and that not considering them is ableist and also--why are we worrying about other people like that?

Favorite audiobooks to check out: The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, The Bandit Queen, Famous Last Words, Anne Patchett novels (see Anne Patchett I Love You, episode 2), She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, among others.

Thanks for listening!

In this week's episode I'm talking about thrillers!

1) The Butcher by Jennifer Hillier

2) Heartsick by Chelsea Cain

3) The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart

4) The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

5) The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

and the book I'm currently reading: Sympathy for Wild Girls (not a thriller) but homework for a future episode and I'm really loving it!

On today's podcast, your host, Britt, will do a deep dive on 4 Ann Patchett books for her first full, episode of Britt's Book Binge.

For fans of Ann Patchett, or those who haven't read anything by her yet. I hope you enjoy!

PS She is also grappling with the fact that it is difficult to do a reasonably sized episode on one author with only four books to review, and to not give too many spoilers. Also editing her own content as she goes is exhausting, and there's not enough tea. ENJOY. Hit Britt up about that Book Club before June to read Ann Patchett's new book, Whistle.
