Happily Booked: A Bookcast

Brooke and Becky

This is the podcast where two 'kindred spirits' believe that the pursuit of happiness is the same thing as reading a good book and being able to talk about it!This is the 45-minute to an hour-long podcast show where the two hostesses will discuss...books! They will talk about what they have read recently, whether they have enjoyed those books or not, what they are currently reading, what they hope to get into next, and other hobbies such as knitting and crocheting! A little bit of "life" talk may pop in and out of these episodes, perhaps even a guest or two will appear, but whatever occurs Brooke and Becky can be counted on to discuss one subject for sure, making this show their "bookcast"!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Show notes!
In episode 1 of season 1 we discuss a handful of random things such as how we keep our sweet tea to more obvious things like some of our most favored books! There is a brief audio interruption with a post-episode recorded message.
We are so happy to be doing a podcast together! This will be the "show notes" section for our episodes! This will be the spot where all the books, movies, shows, yarn brands, or anything else we talk about will be listed for your convenience! We will do our best to provide accurate time stamps below as well so that you can just scroll to the time listed to find exactly what you're looking for! They are listed below in the order that they are mentioned.
Please keep in mind that we are still very new to podcasting and will be doing our very best to have fun while making these episodes as enjoyable for listeners as we can! So play nice!
As you may have noticed or will notice, we were a bit nervous in this first episode! Just bear with us! Even though we were nervous, we still had so much fun recording!
We would love to know what you guys think! Thanks so much and please enjoy!

As always, we are so glad to be able to have our podcast fun and chat away like crazy on Mondays! We are honored that you lovely people want to listen to our rambles...okay, fine! You want to hear about books! But we're a rambly pair and if you ask us to change, you're asking for far too much! But in all seriousness, thank you so much for listening!
We (we as in Brooke) trailed off a good bit in this episode, so brace yourselves! There is one spot in this episode where we are chatting about a certain book and accidentally drop the name of one of our dear pals. We did our best to edit it out for privacy reasons seeing as we have not confirmed with this person if it was alright to say her name! So you will probably be able to hear when the slip-up happened as we go from talking calmly to giggling like fools! Oh well! We are who we are.
Also, from the time we recorded this episode to its publishing (today, 9/05/22), we gained a wonderful listener from "across the pond" in Europe! Hello friend!! We are so honored you chose to download two of our episodes! Much love to ya! But we wanted to apologize because in this recording we did not have you as a listener just yet and there is a moment we mentioned some other fun locations that we are being downloaded in. We apologize and will rectify that, not in the next episode, but in the one after in Ep. 6!
For some unknown reason, I said the author of The Dewberry Farm Mysteries was a "Katherine". That was entirely incorrect, that cozy mystery series is written by a KAREN MacInerney! I apologize for the confusion that I am putting out into the world.
Alright, I believe that was all! Below are the treasured show notes! Thanks again for listening and enjoy!
P.S.- The movie The Passengers is not as creepy as Brooke makes it out to be. :)
