Hi **awkward little wave**

So, we've been away and now we're back.

We definitely won't be uploading on a weekly basis but here's a super long episode where we talk about where we've been, what we've read while we were gone and what books we're taking with us on our vacation.

We also take a look at our pile of shame progress and tell you what we're currently reading.

We will be recording our next episode in August when we're both home from our travels.

Thank you for sticking around.

Love

Ellen & Sarah

Woops! Long time no hear.

It’s been a bit intense these past couple of weeks. Sarah came to Belgium as you may have seen on our Insta.

Then work got crazy and life just got away from us for a little bit.

But we’re back now with a sweet and short episode where we talk about some books we really want to finish in the next two months.

They’re books we’ve been in the middle of for some time.

Time to get some reading done!

Shuggie Bain – Douglas Stuart

Last Night at the Telegraph Club – Malinda Lo

To be taught, if fortunate – Becky Chambers

Rewild Yourself – Simon Barnes

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell – Susanna Clarke

Hi! Another month has gone by. It both felt like an eternity and no time at all.

Ellen got 6 books read, probably the only time ever she’ll have more books to talk about than Sarah who read 2 books in March.

In other words, she’ll need to enjoy it while she can.

Hi! Welcome to another bookish episode.

You may have noticed that we took a little bit of a break. Both of us were pushed out of our normal structure by a covid positive husband and roommate. We wouldn’t have been able to record properly so we decided to push the episode back. And here it finally is!

It was Sarah’s turn to pick a card and she drew the 9 of swords.

We went in different directions, Sarah focussed on the “fear of being alone” aspect and Ellen went for the “Anxiety, worry and depression” aspects.

Find out which books we picked!

And don’t hesitate to recommend us your own ideas.

Aaaaaand we’re back with part 2 of our book to movie adaptations list!

We have so many more titles to talk to you about.

We do know that our list is nowhere near complete, I just found out that The Flatshare is getting adapted too.

So there was no way we were ever going to get to all of them.

If you have adaptations you want to recommend to us, please let us know in the comment section or on Instagram.

Hi! Welcome to the another bookish podcast episode.

We wanted to talk to you about some book to movie (or tv) adaptations that are happening this year!

Once we finished recording the episode we realised we’d been talking for a very long time.

That’s why this is only part one of our book to movie adaptations.

Next week we’ll continue on.

Hello and welcome to another episode of our podcast!

We picked the card The Lovers for this Tarot Recommendation episode because it sounded like it could fit well with Valentines.

But once we started looking into it, we quickly found out that it wasn’t as straightforward as we’d thought it would be.

Our recommendations also turned out to be a combination of (mostly) traditional romance and some gory alternatives.

Enjoy!
