Joe is back to torturing everyone again with his memoirs. He swears this one is better though. Alex may need some convincing. This month the brothers read Let's Pretend this Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson. It is a rip-roaring life to be shared, full of mental illness, awkward childhoods, and things that can only happen in Texas. (Just a note from Alex: DO NOT LISTEN TO THE AUDIOBOOK!!! Seriously. It's bad.)

Next month, Alex is picking one of his favorite books of all time. Let's see if Joe is able to tear down another book and trample all over his feelings. Alex has picked, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. That will be coming out on September 5th. So make sure you mark the date on your calendar, it's bound to be a special one.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making). Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

Becky is joining the show again for this latest edition of bonus episodes! She has a new favorite book to talk about, The Trouble with Heroes by Kate Messner. This is an exciting book for young adult and middle school readers. So listen in and see what all the fuss is about. 

I do need to apologize for the audio quality on this one. This was a last minute recording and editing thing. A few other episodes that the brothers had hoped to have recorded already, have not come to fruition. Joe will work much harder in the future to speak into the mic and at a volume that the mic can actually pick up. 

Next month Joe has picked another memoir. A truly hilarious book by a woman that became famous from her blogging about her wacky life. We will be reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. (A little bit of a spoiler, if you are reading along with us on this, we recommend avoiding the audio book...)

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode (as noted, the brothers are both becoming very busy with life, so this schedule may be changing; please stay tuned for any updates that they will be making).

Alex is changing up the format again. Keeping it fresh even, maybe. This month he picked a book that is completely different from what we have been reading. Instead of describing imagery of words on page, Alex is having us describe pictures on paper. That's right. We are discussing a graphic novel. Not just any graphic novel, either, but one of the greatest ever written by one of the greatest authors of that medium.

This month we read From Hell by Alan Moore. we analyze one of the most famous works from one of the most famous authors of the graphic novel world, breaking down our thoughts on where it goes so superbly well, and where things fall a bit flat. Joe also re-watched the movie of the same name and briefly touches on why Moore hated that so much and if Moore was justified.

Next month Joe has picked another memoir. A truly hilarious book by a woman that became famous from her blogging about her wacky life. We will be reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson. (A little bit of a spoiler, if you are reading along with us on this, we recommend avoiding the audio book...)

This bonus episode is a little different. This month Alex thought it might be fun for Joe to see how he does in a Choose Your Own Adventure style story. Joe, through bad experiences in 3rd grade, knew he would struggle to make it far. The book that Alex picked for this strange and bizarre adventure was Darkness Over Arkham by Jonathan Green. It is a Lovecraftian mystery, where you, the intrepid adventurer, must solve the strange happenings around the college town of Arkham. 

As said, this is a different sort of episode. A lot of reading from Alex and Joe trying to voice his decision making at each juncture. If this type of episode was entertaining, let us know. If not, also tell us. Alex wants to do a lot more of these sorts of things. So, let us know if we have stumbled onto something that is good content. A poll on Spotify should go live with this episode. Check the link for it below or through our insta.

Next month, for our beginning of the month book pick, Alex has chosen to return to the darker and grittier world of murder and mayhem. He has picked a graphic novel of great renown. From Hell by Alan Moore will be our first attempt to discussing the popular literary method of graphic novels. So make sure you don't miss it. It'll be out July 5th. 

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

Joe has decided to make things a little more cheery for the readers after a few months of death and destruction. So he went the route of the cozy murder mystery. That's right, more death. This month we read Death on Demand by Carolyn Hart, the first book of the Death on Demand mystery series. So, lets jump into the cozy-verse and see how fun and relaxing murder really can be.

Next month, Alex has chosen to go back to the darker and grittier world of murder and mayhem. He has picked a graphic novel of great renown. From Hell by Alan Moore will be our first attempt to discussing the popular literary method of graphic novels. So make sure you don't miss it. It'll be out July 5th.

In this month's bonus episode, Joe brings Becky back to talk about a book he got crazy excited about. Becky seems to think that Joe has found a new genre that he is becoming obsessed about. And Joe kinda agrees. In this episode, they will be discussing the book Endurance by Alfred Lansing. A book about an Antarctic exploration gone wrong. 

Next month is a Joe pick. On the 5th of June, the brothers will be discussing Death on Demand by Carolyn Hart. So, make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out on the cozy verse.

The month of May is Alex's shot in the dark pick. That pick that he has not read but heard good things. We read The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. Neither brother had good feelings going in, and we weren't disappointed. Joe does whine a lot about books of this nature, while Alex does his best to defend it. 

Next month Joe is going to change it up a bit. He is having the brothers adventure into the cozy mystery world for a little bit. He is going to be having all you that read along, reading Death on Demand by Carolyn Hart. So, buckle up, and get ready to be cozy!

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

Alex and Becky have a very delightful chitchat over a popular book that still produces thousands of memes and videos on the internet. It is one of the most noted books to the new bookshelves of Romantacy and Fairy Smut. That's right, they are talking A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. So, buckle up and get ready to hear what two well read people think about the hype of such a popular series and book.

Next month, May, it will be Alex's turn to pick again. Alex has picked a book that both brothers are going into blind. So, stay tuned for how they will enjoy the very popular epic fantasy novel The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. That will be out on the 5th next month.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

It is time again for a Joe pick. This month he has had his brother read a lesser known Frank Herbert novel. The White Plague came out about the same time as the 4th book in the famous Dune series. God Emperor of Dune blew off the Sci-fi shelves faster than a sandworm could swallow Harkonnens. This book not so much. That is not to say it is a "bad" book. But you'll have to listen to the brothers discuss as to why it may have missed the mark.

Next month, May, it will be Alex's turn to pick again. Alex has picked a book that both brothers are going into blind. So, stay tuned for how they will enjoy the very popular epic fantasy novel The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. That will be out on the 5th next month.

Joe has a bone to pick. A rant to make. And poor Alex has to suffer for it. Not only is he forced to participate in this conversation, Joe forced him to have to read this horribly dreadful book. That's right. The brothers read the 2024 Hugo winning book, Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. Listen in as they discuss the reasons why they think this book should never have even been in the discussion for what was once such a prestigious award for Science Fiction and Fantasy. If you have read this book, and either agree with the brothers or especially disagree, please comment and let them know. They would really love your feedback on this one. What did they miss!?

Next month for their book club pick, Joe has us all reading The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Yes that Frank Herbert that gave us the most popular science fiction book of all time, Dune. Let's see if what the brothers think of his lesser known work; if it lives up to the name of such an acclaimed author. That episode will be dropping on April 5th, so keep your eyes open for that.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.
