Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of May’s book, The Animals in that Country by Laura Jean McKay published in 2020 (from page 140 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll read the first half of a book together — one that I and perhaps you have never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book. We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to [email protected]. The book we’ll be reading for June is Howard's End by E.M. Forster (382pp) — we’ll be reading up to Chapter 22 (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 10th June. Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content Warning: There are adult themes in the novel (and some swearing). I have removed any swear words from dialogue. Please check the content of the novel before listening to the podcast.
This episode will be available until August but all episodes can be listened to and discussed at the BookShook YouTube channel
