Talk Booky To Me

Welcome to an extra-large mid-month episode! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we struggle through a weird and rambling discussion about the absolutely random assortment of books we read this month. It's a little spooky, a little romantic, a little depressing, and most other emotions you want from two book podcasters. We start with some fun news, discuss our monthly TBR progress, take a scavenger hunt for rapid fire recommendations, and end with a question about titling the memoirs that we are most definitely (sarcasm) going to write one day. Thank you for joining us, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Welcome to May! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we prepare for a very sporadic, likely random, maybe a little chaotic month of reading. We open this one with a few light book articles before exchanging books based on our own randomizer systems and set a TBR with possibly the most range we have covered. We end with a fun question about ranking book characters and walk away from the mic with a fresh list of books to finish over the next 31 days. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Another month is wrapping up, and our reading is back on track! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover some March releases and recommendations for Spring Break before covering our reading progress and awarding some superlatives. Expect plenty of range from Hallmark romances, to dark academia romances, to vampire romances, to inanimate object romances, to...what is going on in this episode? Anyway, this one has a little something for everyone. Thank you for listening, and you can reach us at the outlets below.

Happy Women's History Month! Although we, Felicia and Aaron, did not focus on Women authors and literature for our March theme, we wanted to take some time to highlight some crucial works by Women in this episode. Join us as we cover some fun news on calligraphy (for some reason) and book awards, discuss recent purchases, and catch up on our current TBR progress. This is all a prelude to rapid recommendations related to Women and an semi-existential question to wrap up the show. Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

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.

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.
