  • The Blueprint

    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 Viscount Who Loved Me - A Bridgerton Book/TV Comparison

    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. 

    If you like our stuff, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts! 

    We would love to hear from you and hear what you think about the show. Email us at [email protected] or DM us on Instagram at everythingbutthebookpod.

  • Mistborn

    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.

  • Crescent City #2 - House of Sky and Breath

    See you in the stacks.
