Talk Booky To Me

We are back! And we will start with an apology. We, Felicia and Aaron, pride ourselves on delivering our regular tri-monthly episodes on time, and we failed. Normally, this would be released on the first, setting up a TBR and theme for the month for our fans to follow along with, but life got in the way. Thankfully, we are mostly back on track. We hope this interruption doesn't cause too much of an inconvenience as we dearly appreciate all of our listeners. We will have our mid-month episode posted on the 17th, and then, we will be back on our regular schedule. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy this episode where we set up our TBRs full of spooky books. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

The Fellowship eventually reached Mount Doom, and so did we. It felt like Mount Doom with how little we read, but it was still entertaining - just like Frodo giving up the ring, sort of. Join us! We start the episode with news of bookish fun facts and Libby recommendations, move to our TBR progress and superlatives, and end with a good and random conversation.

We are back - in more ways than one! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we return for the month of groups/teams/friends/companions/you get it. Luckily, the dry streak is mostly over, so you could say the power of friendship has overcome our reading slumps. In this episode, we cover some news about the most anticipated Fall reads and some teary romance books, followed by our discussion of mid-month reading progress. It's full of dark romances, dungeons and dragons, and comics, and it's a good one. We then throw out some rapid-fire recommendations about team-ups and end with a question about our reading habit oddities. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

There's nothing better than having a big group of friends. People who can support you, call you out on your B.S., and...maybe make fun of you in a fun and silly way that won't lead to long-lasting trauma in any way whatsoever. You know...the type of jokes that won't keep you up at night, even fifteen years later. Anyway...join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we launch a month of team/party/group/band books! We start with some very polarizing news, exchange books and set TBR's full of group stories, and end with some random facts about literature. Thank you for listening, and you can find us at the outlets below.

A day late but as entertaining as ever! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we check in on our first two weeks of books full of drawings, diagrams, sketches, photographs, and all sorts of visuals.

Talk Booky is back with more complaints! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we air out a grievance about the genre categorization of Romantasy. We have plenty of opinions that we let fly from the very opening. It's a breezy, fun, and slightly upsetting topic to cover in ten minutes, but we hope you enjoyed it.

Due to recent events, Talk Booky to Me has made the necessary decision to stop reading and turn into a photography podcast. Sort of. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we introduce the monthly theme of pictures/photographs/images to accommodate our growing fascination with comics and graphic novels. The episode opens with news stories about pugs and Stephen King before we exchange books and set up a TBR rich with visuals. The show wraps up with listener recommendations of some classic children's books and fun facts on Steinbeck and Roald Dahl. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

We failed. Not at being podcasters. We are great at that. We failed to discover if water is actually wet. Not because we did actual research. We didn't. We mostly failed because we got distracted by Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. Anyway, join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we finish July with news that teases our next theme, discuss plenty of graphic novels and single comic issues, cover our monthly awards, and finish with fun facts about literature. It's been a very fun detour from our regularly scheduled programming, and we hope you enjoyed the new horizons we ventured into. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.
