Ep 18 Am I The A HOLE, Honestly?! REACTING TO MORE Reddit Book Threads!

07/02/24 • 72 min

We’re back at it with Part 2 of the popular series where we respond to “Am I The A Hole” Bookish Questions on Reddit, and then pose those same questions to you, our listeners!

Do we think getting upset at your coworker who won’t leave you alone about books is okay? Does telling your group of friends at a party that your husband isn’t “well read” make you an a hole? What about reading aloud on a cruise ship for everyone to hear?

You hear all of our opinions here first! Including our Tiny-Legged Cartoon and Sunball-themed Smash or Pass, and our recent bookish faves and fails.

Ep 17 Book of Azrael was overhyped? | BOOK TROPE PICK UPDATE for Ashley

Send us a text

Welcome back to the BATB Podcast, where your hosts Liz and Ashley pick books for each other to read based on our most liked and least liked tropes so that we can talk to you about them! Well... sometimes that’s what we do!
Today is our first follow up episode to our favorite tropes / “non-icks,” where we report back on The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole, the book Liz picked for Ashley based on her top five favorite tropes: a good twist (or several), slow burn, enemies to lovers, badass FMC who’s older than 20, and a good redemption arc.
Listen to the favorite book tropes video here! | https://www.buzzsprout.com/2317400/14988053
This book is such a popular read on Bookstagram and Booktok. Did it live up to the hype? Did Liz manage to find a book with all of Ashley’s favorite tropes? Listen on to find out.
Don’t forget, the first 15 mins (ish..) are spoiler free, so come chat with us about our faves and fails of the week. We discuss everything from bookish tattoos, to DOGMA the movie, ice cream shenanigans, and husbands. You know, the usual. And if you can, stick around for our weekly unhinged Smash or Pass segment, starring a horse with a great personality, and a hat expert.

Ep 19 Is THE GREAT GATSBY Still Great 100 YEARS LATER?! + Millennial Roman Empires!

Send us a text

Today we’re back for our fourth installment in our “Books That Made Us” nostalgia series, covering our reread of a classic: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

We venture back to highschool in the early 2000’s to remember all the books that made the deepest impact on us, even if we didn’t realize it then. The themes, the quotes, the characters... everything holds up to make The Great Gatsby more enjoyable and immersive each time we read it. Find out how we rated it, and what we think about the classic Robert Redford 1970’s movie rendition vs. the Leonardo DiCaprio Baz Luhrmann remake.

Oh, and as a bonus treat, we take you even FURTHER down nostalgia street with a visit to the 90’s where we discuss our faves and fails: Millennial Roman Empire edition. Think POGS and the Oregon Trail! And don’t fret, we end with our classic unhinged smash or pass featuring messy bit*hes and a classic why choose SNL sketch style.
