STORYBEAST

Episode #9: As You Know, Bob, We Love Cozy Books

Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of Storybeast, where Courtney Shack and Ghabiba Weston discuss the transformative power of story. In this episode, the co-hosts talk about cozy books, books they love, and give some revision updates! Here, you will find:

  • An example of bad exposition, in which Courtney frequently says, "as you know, Bob" 
  • The pair's definition of a "cozy book"
  • Authors and books the beasts love (death-y books, kissy books, and more). We mention 

    • Leigh Bardugo, Lisa Kleypas, Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, Christina Lauren, Su Lynn Tan, Kristin Dwyer, TJ Klune, RF Kuang, Joyce Carol Oates, Olga Tokarczuk, T Kingfisher, Naomi Novik, Haruki Murakami, and Neil Gaiman.

    • Revision updates and solidarity for both your reading and writing slumps and the Frankenstein-esque beat sheet they are both trying out right now
    • Love for Alex Bracken's video, in which she asks: what if everything works out?
