Everything But the Book

If you were hoping Sarah and Lyss would kick off the new year with some book recommendations, you are in for a TREAT! 

Today the gals discuss the very best, and the very worst, of 2022 with all the enthusiasm and vigor that you've regrettably come to love. 

Some of the titles discussed today include; Babel, Educated, Braiding Sweetgrass, The Lost Metal, Under the Whispering Door, Lightlark, and Crave! Did we love or despise these titles? Tune in to find out. 

Our website and social media sites have been REVAMPED and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on them! Find us on everythingbutthebookpod.com, and @everythingbutthebook on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. And of course, we are on Facebook with all the other dinosaurs. 

Here's to another year of EBTB! 

Listener warning; we laugh A LOT in this episode, to our headphone listeners we apologize deeply. We are going to resolve this next recording session. In the meantime...turn your volume down and LOL along with us. 

Today the gals try to identify some of the most popular books on the scene by their lowest rated reviews. How many did you get? 

Alright guys. This is the big one. This is the book where it all began, and what it always comes back to. Figured it out? 

Say it. Out loud. 

This episode features Lyss trying Scotch, Helen Keller, confusing unrequited love, the importance of looking cool in the airport, and finally recognizing how much abuse this series had?! 

(For our headphone listeners, please watch the volume unless you want to blow your eardrums out we are so sorry)

The leaves are changing, the wind is howling, but these book recs are HOT! 

Sarah and Lyss share what books they are hoping to read in the near future, as well as share their recommendations for books that will get you in that spooky mood. 

Let us know your favorite Fall reads! Get in touch with Everything But the Book on Instagram, TikTok, gmail, and on our website!

What should you be reading this Fall? Allow us to make some recommendations! 

From the cozy to the creepy, Sarah and Lyss have got you covered. 

We also have an announcement regarding our Throne of Glass reading journey. 

(Hopefully audio issues have been fixed, but if not be sure to let us know!)

Sarah and Lyss have finally begun the journey that is Throne of Glass, the first of Sarah J Maas' series and the book that launched Maas as an internationally bestselling author. What we just can't figure out is...how? 

Prepare for one HOT take (and maybe a few more) as the gals discuss their initial opinions on the first few books, and Lyss delivers her best summary yet. 

As always, let us know what you think! [everythingbutthebookpod on instagram, TikTok, gmail, website]

Guess who's back? Back again?! 

For the next hour you'll be delighted by tales of recent travels (that we already told) and all the books we've been reading (not that many) and what we really think about that really popular fantasy series...

Greetings, Gentle Listeners...

Today we are bringing you an (un)educated juxtaposition of Julia Quinn's The Viscount Who Loved Me and Season 2 of Bridgerton. In an uncharacteristic show of unity, Sarah and Lyss both actually read this one when they said they were going to.

It's the episode that you (well, at least one of you) have been waiting for, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn! 

Let's debate whether his name is Bryan or Brandon, how much should magic really cost, and how to create amazing characters from page one. 

We apologize for nothing. 

That SJM is back on her old...well, you know. 

Today's episode is all about the latest installment in the Sarah J Maas universe, or as we are calling it, the SJMCU. We also read our first (and only) Apple Podcasts review live on air. 

See you in the stacks.
