  • My must listen every week

    Even when I’m in a reading rut, I feel like I’m part of the reading community when I listen. Brea and Mallory recommend books in every genre, and while not every recommendation is for me, I am hearing about and reading books I wouldn’t know about if I only got my TBR list from the library’s main page and booktok.

Ep 410 - Facts for Parties - Science Books for the Reading Glasses Challenge!
Q: What do you think about getting a library book signed?
It's kind of fun and I think it could be cool for future patrons to see a signed library book.
Ep 408 - Self Imposed Book Rules and Romance Ratings!
Q: How central does a character have to be, or how relevant does their sexuality have to be before you check that box?
It's worth noting if LGBTQIA+ representation is present, even if not central, while also focusing on main characters in queer stories.
Ep 408 - Self Imposed Book Rules and Romance Ratings!
Q: How do you count author demographics for books with more than one author, or a graphic novel that has an author and an illustrator?
It is suggested to count both as individual contributors to give credit to all authors involved.
Ep 405 - Spring Book Rex + Book Tattoos from Trash Baby Authors
Q: What advice do you two have moving forward with bookish-inspired body modifications?
It's important to consider how you feel about your tattoo. If it makes you upset, consider covering it up or removing it. But if it holds positive memories for you, then it's valid to keep it.
