A podcast created by book lovers for book lovers! Join us as we discuss a different book every other week from murder mysteries, to autobiographies, and everything in between. We'll share our thoughts, hear all of yours, and (in some episodes) attempt to answer the age-old question of which is better, the book or the movie? (Spoiler alert: It's probably the book)

    Short Stories: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugh

    Dropping in with another spoiler-free episode for y'all! This one is all about my favorite (and least favorite!) recent reads. This list is pretty dated now as I recorded this a while ago so I will do an updated episode soon. I have read some absolute bangers lately that I really want to share. I also have a book vs. series adaptation episode coming your way as well as some audiobook recs. It's been a long time since I last uploaded and I'm so excited to be sharing some content with y'all. Hope you enjoy! Where to find me: https://linktr.ee/BookedSolid

    Chapter 19: Several People Are Typing

    In today’s episode I am joined by Élaina of Bookshelf Remix (another amazing book review podcast that you need to check out if you haven’t already!) to chat about Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke. Written entirely in slack messages between employees, this was definitely a unique read. We’ll be discussing what it means to be human, how technology plays a role in answering that question, and how a robot tells you when it’s full.  Also! As you may have already seen, Élaina and I host a Gilmore Girls analysis podcast together called Women of Questionable Morals. We discuss many different themes/characters/whatever pops into our heads and often feature voice memos and comments from our listeners. If you too are a major Gilmore Girls fan please send us your thoughts/opinions over on our instagram or at woqmpod@gmail.com and be sure to check out our show! ☕️  Where to find us: https://linktr.ee/BookedSolid Donation of the Week: A list of fundraisers to support the families of the Uvalde and Tulsa Medical Center mass shooting victims can be found by clicking on the links provided.

    Chapter 18: The Mothers

    For this week’s episode I’m joined by Tabitha from @bookmarkedbytab to chat about Brit Bennet’s debut novel, The Mothers. This book was especially exciting as The Vanishing Half was one our debut episodes, and Brit Bennett is beloved around these parts. We’ll be discussing the role the title plays in the novel, the major disappointment that is Luke’s character, and the complexity of Aubrey and Nadia’s friendship.  Content Warning: This book deals with sensitive themes such as assault, abortion, and suicide. We do not go into detail, but we do reference these topics a few times throughout the episode.

    Wahala means trouble and oh do these girls get into it! In these week’s episode I’m joined by Jade from @goodreadswithjade to discuss Nikki May’s debut novel. Described as an Anglo-Nigerian Sex and the City, we definitely had high hopes for this one. We’ll be chatting about Isobel’s perplexing motivations, how on earth these girls are friends with each other, and why Didier is the true MVP.
