Talk Booky To Me

Talk Booky Quiz: One

Time for another special episode! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we test our booky knowledge with a rather lengthy quiz full of questions about authors, books, publication dates, and almost everything else you can imagine. We prepared a three-part quiz for one another that we use to test each other in alternating rounds. It's designed for you to play along, so you may want to pull out your phone or grab an old-school pen and paper to test your knowledge along with us. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Talk Booky Fights the Fear: Episode Three

Thank you for joining us, Felicia and Aaron, as we wrap up an unbelievably long February. The social and political climate has taken a toll on us this month, and our reading ground to a halt for a few weeks. In this episode, we share some news, give some sad updates on our TBR progress, try to ignore superlatives for the month, and end with a fun question about what should be at the end of a book. Thank you for listening and sticking with us as we find the spark to read more in March. You can reach us at the outlets below.

Talk Booky Fights the Fear: Episode Two

A few weeks into the shortest, and somehow longest, month of the year, we, Felicia and Aaron, regroup to cover our TBR progress and give some rapid fire recommendations on social and political literature. This is a more subdued episode as our brains are slowly decaying with the constant stream of bad news, cold weather, and rain, but we manage to find the energy for some engaging conversations. If you are interested in approachable activism literature or heavy literary theory, we offer both in this episode. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Talk Booky Blind Ranking: One

In this special episode of Talk Booky, we, Felicia and Aaron, decide to rank some book related topics in a way that is a little more...competitive? Mean? Fun? A little of each. We choose four categories and compile lists of items for each category. The list is then read to the other cohost, one item at a time, and the listening cohost has to choose to keep or leave each item. The catch is that we only have five "keeps" and five "leaves," so without a little strategy, we might end up with our favorite book about Minotaurs on a farm (hypothetical - neither of us have read that one...yet) being relegated to the leave category. It's a short, fun side-quest for the podcast during a month of heavy reading, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. You can reach us at the outlets below.

Talk Booky Fights the Fear: Episode One

It's the start of February, and a lot has happened. We, Felicia and Aaron, decided to address issues in the U.S. head-on by focusing on books that speak to our current political and social situation. In this episode, we introduce the theme, rant about red-lining (me - Aaron), and set up our TBR for the month. It's an episode full of social and political commentary, so if that's not for you, maybe take a break from the podcast this month, but if it is, thank you for joining us on this educational journey.

New Year, New Booky: Episode One

In our first episode of 2025, we, Felicia and Aaron, kick off with some genres that push our boundaries. Our resolutions are to try some literature we may not like, such as high fantasy for Aaron or historical fiction for Felicia or pseudo-scientific, psycho-religious, indoctrinating self-help (that one is a joke). We cover some fun 2025 news, set up our January TBR lists, exchange books, and end with a fun question about our most anticipated read. It's all new in this episode, except the hosts - of course, so we thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

The Talk Booky Awards: 2024

Alright, this is the legitimate final episode for 2024. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we reflect on a year full of books (around 240 between us both). Throughout this episode, we share our reading statistics to personally brag about how many words we read, award some individual superlatives to brag on all the great authors who bestowed these words on us, and work our way through a bracket to brag about Talk Booky's immaculate taste in books - selecting one of the podcast's favorite book of the year. Thank you all for an incredible year of podcasting, and we look forward to talking at you in 2025. You can reach us at the outlets below.
