Have you ever read a book and wished you could linger in its world? Has an author ever dropped a reference that makes you want to look it up and fall into a research rabbit hole? In Bookshelf Remix, Sophia and Elaina, two “professional readers” get stuck into reading for fun and things get very nerdy. Drop in on their conversations and follow along as a Mexican-American and Filipina-Canadian discuss books (including spoilers!) by BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, and other historically marginalised authors and take a deep dive into themes they want to learn more about.

This is the one that starts it all. Élaina and Sophia introduce themselves and dive into the book that prompted the birth of this podcast: “Mexican Gothic” by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. In this first of two episodes devoted to “Mexican Gothic”, the nerdy duo discuss their relationship with gothic fiction and what they thought about this book in particular.

Please note that this is a spoiler-FULL podcast that discusses the plot and themes of the books we cover, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, go read “Mexican Gothic” and come back to hear our commentary.

CN: Discussions of rape, sexual assault, genocide of indigenous people, and colonial violence.

Bookshelf Remix - The Perishing w/Sariah Emmanuel
play

08/29/22 • 51 min

Visiting from the land of @bookedsolidpod and @woqmpod, Sariah has joined Élaina to read "The Perishing", a historical speculative fiction novel by Natashia Déon. As season 2 of Bookshelf Remix wraps up, Élaina is very tired and may or may not have completely misread a significant portion of the book. But, fear not, Sariah (and Google) is there to keep her on track and much fun is had.

You should also listen to the original Booked Remix cross-over ep when we discussed Calvin Kasulke's "Several People Are Typing": https://open.spotify.com/episode/3J9JK5NWMI24KdrXMzPGsE?si=fb5f0c1b6613491e

When I'm not reading books, I'm watching Gilmore Girls. So it is my pleasure to announce Women of Questionable Morals:

"Who led? Who followed? None of that really matters because Sariah of @bookedsolidpodcast and Élaina of @bookshelfremix have found each other and decided to launch their (in-depth, passionate) thoughts about Gilmore Girls into the void.
Send us your voice clips and episode requests at [email protected] and follow us on Instagram and Twitter @woqmpod. We’ll see y’all soon!

Bookshelf Remix - Places I've Taken My Body
play

02/05/24 • 59 min

Join Eva and Élaina as they cocoon in the warm disabled academic embrace of Molly McCully Brown's "Places I've Taken My Body" essay collection. A poet and a scholar, McCully Brown prompts us to reflect on disability culture and disabled communities, past and present and we get pretty mushy about it. What! It feels so good to be seen. Listen if you too are craving darkly beautiful reflections on living through the cycle of fighting your bodymind, becoming the supercrip, and then forgetting your pain only to start again.
