Two Book Nerds Talking

Hello! We're back with another of our 30 Dirty episodes and we're talking retellings and books about historical figures for our June #tbntbookchallenge2022. As usual, we got carried away talking about books so we've decided to make this episode a two-parter. Don't say we're not a podcast that keeps giving.
Cheers!

We're back!

We have been away for some time but it's all to recharge and regroup our wits for a whole new season of TBNT! We're kicking off Season 6 with one of our favourite episodes to make, a TBR episode. We're covering some books that are to be released in June till September 2022 that have piqued our interest and we hope it does you too. Fair warning, there's A LOT of books.

Stay tuned for more updates from us because things are opening up again and we have so many plans lined up. Cheers!

Hello booknerds!

This is a special episode in collaboration with the launch of BookXcess's new website!

We were invited to have a talk at The Powder Room with some lovely friends and we had a blast talking about all things bookish and being a booknerd. Sit in with us for this laidback session. Cheers!

Hello booknerds!

We're on a short break but we thought of coming back on air to give you some recommendations for our TBNT May Challenge; the main character is an antihero or a book with an unreliable narrator.

We thought of combining the two and came up with a list of interesting unreliable femme fatale reads for your consideration.

Read well!

We've finally reached the end of a very.. interesting season. We thought of highlighting some middle grade reads and if you've never thought of picking up a middle grade book, you're kinda missing out!

Honey comes in clutch with some interesting horror reads (don't worry, nothing too traumatizing), while Diana strikes a more hopeful and wholesome tune with her reads.
Enjoy!

For April's challenge we urge you to pick up a read that has an element of nature in the title OR explores a world beyond earth. Honey picked a whole bunch of cool graphic novels, all sci-fi of course, while Diana has a mix bag from YA fantasy to murder mystery, essays to romance, this is a really fun #tbntbookchallenge2022

Books mentioned (in order):
The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh
Invisible Kingdom by G. Willow Wilson and Christian Ward
These Precious Days by Ann Patchett
Descender Vol. 1: Tin Stars by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen
Peach Blossom Spring by Melissa Fu
Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine De Landro
The Absolute Book by Elizabeth Knox
The Black Incal by Alexandro Jodorowsky and Moebius
Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell
Sentient by Jeff Limire, Gabriel Walta, and Steve Wands
Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes and Stacey Kade

We are back after a sudden two week break (it has been balls to walls busy for Honey) but huzzah!

It's a book chaser where we discuss Emily Itami's sparking debut Fault Lines and Jessica Au's contemplative Cold Enough For Snow. There is honesty here with strong female voices, introspection of where you are in life, meditation, travel and a sense of place. You'd want to visit Tokyo and Kyoto after this because both books bring you on a journey, not only of a physical one but an internal one too. Come travel with us this week!

Alrighty for March #tbntbookchallenge2022, we urge you to pick up a medical read (i.e. doctor's memoir, stuff set in clinics, hospitals all that jazz) OR a book about mental health. And we found a lot that we want to dive into as well. Will these reads make you feel better? Listen on! We have a bunch of recommendations ranging from non-fiction to fiction reads.

We are still in murder mysteries because well, there are so many good ones out there. This time we are going into 'cozies' - whodunnits usually with a lovable protagonist and set in small towns. There are suspects. There is usually pets. There might be a crumpet or two. Cozies are delightful because at the end of the day, the bad guy/girl gets caught and all is right with the world today. Join us as we go deep into 'cozies with the most-ies' (ugh that's bad) with Richard Osman's second novel The Man Who Died Twice and Nita Prose's The Maid.

Here are books! With animals in them, some giving you their very honest opinions, some told by the people who love them. We've found a whole lot of interesting books from a memoir of a famous chimp to a demonic goat the lives in a monastery. You'll meet a lofty tortoise and a fox who doesn't think himself sly. There are some sausage dogs! Because how can there not be? Whatever it is, we hope you have a great time reading this month!
