What is the title of this book, really? 

Join us this week as we examine Sarah J. Maas' House of Earth and Blood, a literal brick full of fantasy, fae, and weird ways to describe your brother. 

If you've been in the bookish community anywhere on the internet you've probably seen people achieve some pretty insane reading goals. Today we are exploring some tips and tricks to make your own goals, and how to keep yourself on track when making reading a part of your regular routine. And it wouldn't be an episode of ours if we didn't take a detour down some truly outlandish tangents. 

Pain is inescapable. Suffering is a choice.

We're BACK BABY! And we're not alone! Joining us today on the show is debut author Cassie Sanchez, and we're talking about her new book Chasing the Darkness. Cassie shares with us her inspirations, her writing process, and her growing collection of medieval swords. Oh yeah, and we also talk about her book. 

Get your copy of Chasing the Darkness and find out what the hype is all about at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or https://www.cassiesanchez.com/.

If you are a huge From Blood and Ash fan...we do NOT have a show for you today.

Sarah and Lyss have been following Jennifer L. Armentrout's FBAA series so closely for a year now, mainly out of spite. In today's episode, they mostly lament on how uninspired this installment was, and how they think the next books could really pump it up to save the series. It's free advice, JLA, you're welcome. 

Let us know what you think of The Crown of Gilded Bones! 

Come one, come all to hear Lyss' beautiful, melodic voice. 

Her words. 

Today we're talking about Jennifer L. Armentrout's A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire, the second book in her From Blood and Ash series. We catch back up with Poppy, Casteel, Kieran, and all their antics in the quest to find out why this series is all anyone can talk about on Booktok. 

We. Want. To. Hear. From. YOU! Email us at [email protected], and reach out to us on all our social media @everythingbutthebookpod. 

Enter the world of sophisticated literary discussion and academic discourse on the science fiction classic, DUNE. 

JUST KIDDING.

Sarah and Lyss are celebrating the release of the new book-to-film adaptation of DUNE by bringing you an episode that strays a bit off of their beaten path. Today the book club convenes to discuss the keyboard pounding name pronunciation, genre-defining tropes, and asking the real question...why is the main character's name Paul?

In classic EBTB fashion, we live up to the name and the tangents abound as we take on TikTok reading gatekeepers and authors who love to interact with their fanbase on social media.
