    I Said What I Said: Bookish Takes I’m Done With

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode LaShawn is  talking about the bookish conversations online that she is  am officially tired of having. From whether audiobooks “count,” to the constant question of how people read so many books, to the way we talk about romance and who gets labeled as “smut”, she's getting into all of it. This isn’t just a rant (okay, maybe a little), but more of a real conversation about the double standards, repetitive debates, and takes that feel way past their expiration date. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the same book discourse popping up again and again… this one’s for you. Books Mentioned in this Episode  Chloe by Connie Briscoe The art of Loving you by Natasha Bishop Slanting Towards the Sea by Lidija Hilje Wuthering Heights Fury Bound by Sable Sorrenson Direbound By Sable Sorrenson  Archangel’s Eternity by Nalani SIghn Yesteryear By Caro Claire Burke Into the Blue by Emma Brodie Score By Kennedy Ryan  The Secret World of Maggie Grey by Granger Beloved by Toni Morrison  You ou can find today’s books at Bookshop.org.
