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!

Hi!

While Ellen visited Sarah in Switzerland, many hours were spent reading. We decided to record one of our reading sessions and make it into a cozy little reading vlog. Well, it turned out to not be so little as it’s 45 minutes long but hey… now you can find out what goes through our brain as we read.

Sarah was reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab & Ellen read Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo.

We do discuss the scenes we’re reading so prepare for some minor spoilers (just to be sure).

You can find the video vlog here!

Have Fun!

Hello and welcome to another episode of our podcast!

Let me just take a moment to thank you. It’s so wonderful to see people find our little nerdy corner of the internet.

We love talking about books and we’re glad you’re enjoying our rambling.

Today, we’re bringing you the first segment of what’s going to be a series.

We pick a tarot card and then look for books that fit the meaning of that card.

I (Ellen) picked this month’s card and my tarot deck gave me The Star.

The absolute best card for this time of the year!

Why? Listen to the episode and find out!

Happy 2022 everyone!

We hope you got to enjoy the holiday season (and if not, we hope you were able to stay somewhat sane **big hug**).

The new year has started and with it the second season of our podcast.

We thought this might prove to be the most practical way to divide our episodes, a season per year.

But to start the new year, we first have to wrap-up the last one, so here are the books we finished in December.

We have so many things we’re looking forward to and we can’t wait to tell you all about them!

As always, we hope you enjoy our cozy conversations. We were feeling very rambly as you’ll surely notice 😀

Grab yourself a cup of coffee (or tea or whatever you feel like drinking) and join us!
