The Trash Trio is reading.

This week the Trash Trio is talking about how dilchh judges everything by its cover (and she will not have it any other way), Lin's anger over two horrible book adaptations, and RAM's religious revelation. 

Don't forget to check the following books: The Secret Series by Pseudonym Bosch, and The Mysterious Benedict Society Series by Trenton Lee Stewart.

dilchh reviews The Gun by Fuminori Takamura.

Ps. This episode was recorded on the day that Chadwick Boseman passed away. RIP to Chadwick Boseman. I hope we did him justice by being respectful whilst also giving tribute to all his works. 

This week the Trash Trio is talking about book covers and janky ass porn. Why, you ask? Who knows? At least we didn't talk about Twilight again. But, we did talk about Haruki Murakami (again). We're starting to think we're not that much of a bookworm as we thought we were. Oh, we also lost RAM twice during the recording.

This week, The Trash Trio talks about genderswap manga, childhood animes, and thankfully they manage to NOT talk about Twilight (again). 

Be sure to check out the following books that were discussed in this episode: Kafka on the Shore, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, 1Q84, Norwegian Wood, Sputnik Sweetheart, and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, all by Haruki Murakami; The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins and All the Ways We Said Goodbye by Beatriz Williams, Karen White, and Lauren Willig (dilchh did not finish both books, btw).

Notable mentions for manga and anime in this week's episode includes Pumpkin Time by Gaedarae, My Roommate is a Cat (Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue) by Minatsuki Tsunami and Futatsuyu Asu, Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi, Wedding Peach by Sukehiro Tomita and Nao Yazawa, Ranma 1/2 by Rumiko Takahashi, and Fushigi Yugi by Yuu Watase.

dilchh reviews Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah.

Literally the hardest episode I have ever had to record due to the many mishaps of here and there. Nevertheless, I persisted and the episode is here (though a bit late). On this episode, the Trash Trio is talking about RAM's obsession for Gundam, Lin's love for Neil Gaiman, and dilchh's crush for Kafka Tamura. Lin and dilchh also agreed on how charming and dreamy James McAvoy was in Becoming Jane. Nevertheless, their love for James McAvoy would never beat the love that Delanie has for Xi Jinping in Xi's the One! Also, for some weird reason, RAM read a sexy/horror book when he was young?

Notable mentions in this episode: Make Good Art, Kafka on the Shore, The Good Omens, Anansi Boys, The Graveyard Book, American Gods, and Becoming Jane.

Oh, I also did a review of Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth.

Trash Trio is back with another pointless conversation, this time we're discussing Twilight. But, we also discuss about other interesting stuff, namely the children's book series of Mata. There are three books in the series that you can look into through this link, https://www.goodreads.com/series/262639-mata. Yes, the books are in Bahasa Indonesia. Speaking of Bahasa Indonesia, you'll probably catch some Bahasa Indonesia in this episode, but be aware that these aren't proper Bahasa Indonesia, more like street lingo kinda thing. I'll give you a guideline, pelakor means a woman who steals someone's husband, and kopet means skidmarks. That's all you need to know, just from this episode. 

Oh, I also did a review of Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

Heads up, there's a bit of a spoiler if you've never watched the movie Field of Dreams, RAM will spoil it for you. But, don't give up on this episode yet, because we're talking about things that are sad to feel things because we're all dead inside. 

Notable mention in this episode: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, A God in Ruins by Kate Atkinson, A League of Their Own (movie), Field of Dreams (movie), About Time (movie), Kimi no Nawa (movie), 5 cm per second (movie), and Meet Joe Black (movie).

Go and check those books and movies for a grand time of sadness and tears, if you ever need to feel things but you're dead inside.

I also am reviewing When Women Ruled the World by Kara Cooney.

The Trash Trio was supposed to have a discussion about ebooks or physical books, but then it turned into a trip down memory lane over our lives in South Korea way back when. We also complained about customs put on books. But we also share some suggestions about what to do if one is considering to read an ebook. It's a VERY long episode. But, do stick around  for a fruitful and a feel good conversation between the Trash Trio.

You may start up a conversation on books or bikes or just to complain about life in general through our Twitter:

Trash Trio is back and we're discussing whether we prefer buying to borrowing books. I also did a short review about Lady Killers, another book on the true crime genre that I read this year. Another good news? I made my first soy wax candle!

Trash Trio is not in this episode because the recording that we did is a bloody mess and I suck at audio editing, so we had to scrape it and hope we can make better recording for the next episode. In this episode, I did a shitty review of the book Mindhunter by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker (the book is not shitty, I'm shitty at making reviews) and I also include a small segment of my husband and I taking (another) BuzzFeed quiz.
