Book Talk for BookTok with Jac and Amy is the go-to literary podcast to discuss your favorite novels with your newest book-besties. They use their literary backgrounds to analyze what makes these stories so special and why the writing resonates with readers. Join them in taking modern women-written books seriously.

Customer Reviews
Literally saved my sanity
This podcast truly helped me through a deep breakup (to the point I couldn’t even listen to music😭). I am so grateful for this podcast bc I probably wouldn’t be here without it and how much it’s helped me heal. Now that I’m back to normal😂 this podcast brings out my inner English lit nerd that lives inside me and I get to geek out every time I listen to an episode. I absolutely love y’all’s points and always find myself finding more connections through the breadcrumbs and notes. Thank you for being the break from my hectic life and a breath of fresh air!
This is the podcast I’ve been looking for!
Love the in-depth analysis! Part of me wishes there were no spoilers so I can listen and read as I go but then there would be no Maasverse talk that I desperately want so I know I can’t have it both ways. ❤️
They make entertainment smart
I love how this podcast introduces deep thinking in what much of us just believes to be simply entertainment. Most of the time I would feel guilty for just reading and listening about fictional worlds but these two goddesses made fictional into academical for me. I also love how even if there are critically analyzing the text (see how I’m even learning writer’s jargon?!) they also make it fun and personable. I’m even thinking about applying for a course in the area!
