Trigger Warning: This novel contains elements of sexual assault and kidnapping. 

Hopefully you'll still give us a listen! We do not take this book lightly, and we truly want to discuss all literature, even the taboo. This week we are discussing the disturbing, yet thought-provoking, Lolita. We talk about the gross Humbert and poor Dolores, and dwell on what could possibly make this book readable.

Hey all you cool cats and bibliophiles, just a little trigger warning here; this book deals with assault and we just want you to be aware as we discuss it this week. We are diving on into the Thomas Hardy classic, Tess of the D'Urbervilles. We follow Tess through the seven tragic phases of her life, and discuss fate, destiny, and who should play in the live action Hercules! Ya know, typical classic lit things. 

Come one, come all, to our Emily Dickinson episode! Kelsey and Kailin are discussing the poems, "Hope" is the thing with feathers, and Some-Work for Immortality. We explain Dickinson's reclusive nature, and how it really is kind of the dream. We go into the themes of hope, wealth, and immortality. Oh, and of course we make fun of the boyfriend and the fiance! What do they expect, it's Touch Your Shelf! Catch us on Twitter @touchurshelfpod and Instagram @touchyourshelfpod.

Welcome to another favorites episode, this week we are reading Kailin's favorite: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. We talk about what Regency romance looks like, the oppression of women, and  if Mr. Bennet is a DILF?? Oh and of course, whether or not the 1995 film adaptation is the best, or the 2005 version. Let us know your thoughts on Instagram @touchyourshelfpod and Twitter @touchurshelfpod. 

This week we discuss the legendary Harper Lee novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. We go over prejudice in the deep south. And, discuss how the narrative is affected when we look at it through the lens of young Scout Finch. Not to mention some Only Fans debates, and our new segment: wedding planning corner.
