    We're back with episodes recorded this year! Tune in to hear our gals discuss indie books, and get a firsthand look at Brindolyn's prognostication powers as she accurately predicts the Gamecock Women Basketball team's NCAA championship victory.

    Regarding their books, this month Brindolyn is reviewing "Site Alpha" by Neal Romriell, a South Carolina author. Karson dives into a heavier read with "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin.

    Next month, our intrepid hosts will be reading books they've been recommended on BookTok or Bookstagram. Karson will be exploring "Divine Rivals" by Rebecca Ross, while Brindolyn (finally) reads "Legendborn" by Tracy Deonn, a book that's been sitting on her shelf for over a year.

    This episode was recorded in February 2023, so please excuse the outdated pop culture references.

    This month (February 2023) Brindolyn and Karson fell in love with a couple of romance novels. Brindolyn read "Radha and Jai's Recipe for Romance" by Nisha Sharma, and Karson read "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes.

    Trigger warning for "Me Before You": This book references suicide, self-harm and sexual assault.

    In our next episode, Karson will be reading "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin, and Brindolyn will be diving into "Site Alpha" by Neal Romriell.

    Episode 3: #ThisOneIsForRanda

    **This month's episode is dedicated in loving memory to Brindolyn's mom, Randa. She was a voracious reader and a lifelong learner. Rest easy, Iron Mom.

    Our gals celebrated National Poetry Month with two excellent selections of poetry. Karson chose "Lighthead" by Columbia native Terrance Hayes, and Brindolyn dove into "Call Us What We Carry" by Amanda Gorman. Both selections proved to be thought-provoking and intense. 

    Next month, our hosts will be having fun with graphic novels! Karson is reading "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" by Charlie Mackesy. Brindolyn will be reading "Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe.

Making me a reader!!

Always struggled getting into reading, but the team at That’s Lit Podcast makes me want to crack open a half-started book from my shelf. They are funny, relatable, and so well informed about literature & more. A must listen!!

Book club for non-readers!

I enjoy this podcast so much because it gives insight to people like myself who don’t like to read but like hearing the meaningful things I would get from reading the book. I think the authors of the podcast do a magnificent job at making this podcast relatable to just about everyone!
