    Season 1 Episode 9 March Reads

    This week on Britt's Book Binge, I'm telling you about two books that I finished reading at the tail end of March; Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Tart and Seven Days in June by Tia Williams. Women of a Promiscuous Nature is a Historical Fiction and Seven Days in June is a Nonfiction Romance with a chronic pain main character, Eva who is an erotic fiction author and single mom with chronic migraines. I read it as part of a chronic illness/chronic pain book club that I'm in. I also talk about books I'm reading right now; Book 4 in the Archie Sheridan and Gretchen Lowell series by Chelsea Cain, Queen of Faces by Petra Lord, The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, and Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry. Thanks for listening and chat at you next week, refreshed from a girls glamping trip for my friend Lindsey's birthday, and with a renewed sense of purpose, and hopefully a book or two under my belt.

    Season 1 Episode 8: Project Hail Mary Book vs Movie

    This week I'm talking about Project Hail Mary the book versus the movie. Other recommendations this week; Half His Age by Jenette McCurdy Women of a Promiscuous Nature by Donna Everhart I also briefly talk about a self-published author who reached out to me and asked me to read her book. I am interested in doing more collaborations with authors in the future when it presents itself. I'm taking a 2 week break after this week! I'll start posting episodes again April 7th and am going to start doing 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off to allow myself time and space for my chronic pain and full time job so that this remains a fun and safe space for me to share with you! Thanks for listening! Britt

    Episode 4: Audiobooks (and whether they "count")

    This week, Britt has researched some different points of view on whether audiobooks count as "reading." She will also talk at the end about some of her favorite audiobooks that you should check out! Synopsis: Britt feels like people can "count" audiobooks as reading, and that not considering them is ableist and also--why are we worrying about other people like that? Favorite audiobooks to check out: The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn, The Bandit Queen, Famous Last Words, Anne Patchett novels (see Anne Patchett I Love You, episode 2), She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, among others. Thanks for listening!

    Episode 2: Ann Patchett, I Love You

    On today's podcast, your host, Britt, will do a deep dive on 4 Ann Patchett books for her first full, episode of Britt's Book Binge. For fans of Ann Patchett, or those who haven't read anything by her yet. I hope you enjoy! PS She is also grappling with the fact that it is difficult to do a reasonably sized episode on one author with only four books to review, and to not give too many spoilers. Also editing her own content as she goes is exhausting, and there's not enough tea. ENJOY. Hit Britt up about that Book Club before June to read Ann Patchett's new book, Whistle. You can vote on the book club below! Also, please follow brittsbookbingepodcast on Instagram for behind the scenes content.
