Talk Booky To Me

Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we launch a new bonus podcast series related to our grievances and gripes related to the world of books. In our first episode, we start with the existential question of why we chose to do this podcast. We hope you enjoy these shorter casual episodes, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

(Editor's note: for best effect, read this description in a Lemony Snicket tone. If you don't know what that is, think Wes Anderson or Tim Burton. If you don't know who they are, just pretend you were transported to an odd and semi-wealthy, sort of pretentious, community) This podcast episode is unusual, and in this case, unusual means "likely to cover topics that are beyond the scope of your average book reviews." Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we round-out a month of random reads. We open with some upcoming books that are sure to excite, move on to our TBR progress which is equally thrilling and miserable, adorn some books with awards, and end with a question about music...on a book podcast? Anyway, thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Welcome to May! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we prepare for a very sporadic, likely random, maybe a little chaotic month of reading. We open this one with a few light book articles before exchanging books based on our own randomizer systems and set a TBR with possibly the most range we have covered. We end with a fun question about ranking book characters and walk away from the mic with a fresh list of books to finish over the next 31 days. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Happy Women's History Month! Although we, Felicia and Aaron, did not focus on Women authors and literature for our March theme, we wanted to take some time to highlight some crucial works by Women in this episode. Join us as we cover some fun news on calligraphy (for some reason) and book awards, discuss recent purchases, and catch up on our current TBR progress. This is all a prelude to rapid recommendations related to Women and an semi-existential question to wrap up the show. Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.
