Novelbound: A Comedy Book Podcast

If you wanted to know our unhinged, completely raw feelings about Sarah J Mass, here's all our thoughts!

We start off with our faves and then share our thoughts on the Crescent City Series!

THIS episode is Spoiler Free up to Crescent City 2!

This episode is a non-apologetically OBSESSIVE discussion of the fandoms of our childhood. Peeta Mellark (which is a separate fandom from the Hunger Games, obviously) Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia and More are all discussed as we try to figure out what these poorly explained plots could be. 

How many did you get right?

Hi. It's that time of year again when you desperately need an escape. Whether it's an audiobook while you bake a million cookies for a school fundraiser or you're driving for ten hours to see family, or you're sick of your kids because they are animals at your parents house at Christmas.... these are books you can pick up, forget about the world, but be able to put down. They're gonna be there for you in those moments when you just need to know that love is real. These can be read anytime of year, but right now we're giving this to you when we know you guys will be traveling, dealing with kids at home and also trying to deal with wild family members. Here's the list so it's easy to screenshot!

Sit and talk all things Divine Rivals with us, this is the episode to listen to before starting Ruthless Vows. We go through everything that happened and speculate about what will come! We go absolutely crazy over IRis and Roman, I mean the BANTER are you kidding us?! We devoured this book and it was absolutely delicious. Give a listen and let us know your theories and thoughts!

What made Fourth Wing such an amazing book?

In this episode, we discuss the perfection that is Fourth Wing, and how it blew up this summer. Why it was hyped, our favorite parts, and all the chaotic parts that will live forever in our brains.

Also, for the first twenty minutes, you're treated to the absolutely WILDLY embarrassing saga of THE HOT MESS YOU BECOME after having a child, so if you're just here for Fourth Wing, fast forward.

Sit and listen to the wise words of the one and only (and slightly sick) Maureen Johnson while she walks us through her magnificent brain.

We wanted to come back strong for ya'll. Anna found some out of pocket monster book (let's be real they're all out of pocket..) recs. We just had to scream about the absurdity of them, let us know which one made you laugh the most on Instagram!

On todays Podcast we talk with author of "Ledge" Stacey McEwan!! We talk about balancing being a mom, working, and writing a book. Tell about our worst rejections (received or given). We also answer some really fun game like questions, like "what would be your weapon of choice?". Lots of fun and laughs in this episode, so don't miss this one!

Here's a little about Stacey:

Stacey McEwan is a school teacher by day and fantasy writer by night. She is a book influencer on multiple platforms and began writing her most current manuscript LEDGE after book lovers of the internet begged her to share her story ideas. Stacey was born and raised on the Gold Coast, Australia. She still resides in her hometown with her husband, two children and one questionable dog. Before she entered the online bookish community, Stacey received her Bachelor of Education from Griffith University. She has been teaching children in the classroom for 9 years to date. When Stacey isn’t writing, teaching, or making ridiculous tiktoks, you’ll find her playing with her children, reading, annoying her husband, or if she’s lucky – all three at once.
