Let's talk books

This week’s episode includes a broad variety of current reads plus our favorite “murderful” books, for when you want to be scared silly.

We are chatting about thinking of characters from books as our IRL friends and enemies this week. Who would you like to grab a drink with, join for Thanksgiving, see die a thousand deaths, or invite for a roll in the sheets ?

We’ve got a great selection of books for you on this episode, readers, plus some thoughts and reflections on reading non-fiction and the ways we “process” it.

Today we are responding to the reader’s perpetual clapback: “I don’t have time to read” and wondering if it’s a complain or an attack. What do you think?

Meredith and Mindy are discussing books that aren’t quite classics (if we are counting those as over 50 years old) but are definite gems from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

This episode is all about reading books in a series and all the factors to take into consideration as you ponder a re-read or a “jump right in”

We’ve got a fun discussion today about our favorite (and least favorite) movie adaptations of the books we’ve read and loved (or hated). It’s a wide range of great stories!

Today we are sharing the motivations for our own reading of books “outside our level.” Why would an adult read a Young Adult or Middle Grade book? We also bring some strong sassy opinions about two galleys we received from publishers. Yikes!

This week’s episode is all about the joy we get from being on Bookstagram and our very low barriers to entry and our tips for curating your account feed. Lots of goodness in here!

We are diving deep into the world of the pandemic. Because sometimes you want a fictionalized version of real life. It feels like these books “get you"? Or maybe you don’t. And that’s okay!

Today’s episode includes a deep dive that Meredith would roll her eyes at, hard! Mindy and Kaytee love a book that brings you to tears, while Meredith wants nothing to do with them! Grab your tissues and one of these books.

We are shouting out some love to our favorite bookish podcasts today. And we’re talking about a bunch of great books, too!

This three-host show has some super strong opinions: we are throwing books against the wall for all kinds of reasons!

Episode 30 is all about reading together. Whether you’re in a book cult or you’re buddy reading with a friend!

This episode is chalk-full of the very best audiobooks, because we are premiering the very first Golden Earbuds Awards!

We’ve got all the info about how to get free books today, readers. Who doesn’t want more free books?

We’re having a chat about getting more out of your reading life this week, as well as books that are surprising on many levels.

Mindy and Kaytee are chatting about sick-time reading and the vacations we’re not getting along with our current reads!
