Semi Bookish

It's the new year, which means it's time for our State of the Ish! In this episode we go over some of the things we want to talk about, while also giving you a sneak peak in how we might go about talking about those topics. 

Welcome to the new year! Before we can start, we have some catching up to do. So enjoy Grant's birthday episode where we discuss Bojack Horseman, and all of the fun that comes with it.

On this episode of the Semi-Bookish podcast, join the cast as they discuss all the different types of media that's had a renaissance in the recent past, and what we wish would just not return ever again.

It's time to talk facts, and by facts we mean what makes the Semi-Bookish group both love and hate nonfiction! Joined this episode by our Bilingual Outreach Library Assistant, Lizbeth, we talk about all things nonfiction.

BRAAAAINNNSSS! Is what we would say if we were actually Zombies. But on this episode of Semi-Bookish, we get to talk about our favorite media involving the brain eating fiends, including some lore of where they came from!

Love 'em or hate 'em we all have to admit that online book communities influence how we look at books, and the reviews we read sometimes influence us to read things we've never read before. In this episode of Semi-Bookish, the group discusses those online book communities like Booktok, Booktube, and others and what we both love and dislike about them. 

In celebration of the birthday of our dear Toni, the theme of this episode surrounds their choice of topic: genres! The group discusses their favorite genres, and which ones they would throw away if they could.

It's common knowledge by anyone who consumes media to not get too attached to characters too early in. Knowing your favorite characters could die at any moment is nerve wracking! Join Semi-Bookish as they talk about death in media, and feelings of sadness and validation when it comes to certain character deaths.

Media that has great endings, media that has bad endings, today we talk about what makes an ending work, and what disappoints us!

Take a seat as we introduce you to the world of Manga! Semi-Bookish talks about their favorite pieces, different types of manga, and what they enjoy about it.
