    This one is a weekly drop-what-I’m-doing-and-listen podcast. Just the best. But fair warning: be prepared to spend so much money on new books! 😅

  • Worth the listen!

    Thank you Brea and Mallory, your shows are phenomenal and have stirred the creative juices within me once more, and inspiring me to start reading and writing again after a 10 year hiatus since graduating college. Your thoughtful approaches to various reading (and non reading) topics brings me great joy to my chaotic and stressful life. Ignore the negativity as much as you can, there are plenty of others who appreciate you both, continue being your authentic selves.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 434 - How to Find the Perfect Writing Style for Your Brain
Q: Chelsea writes in to say, Hi, Brea and Mallory, thanks for creating a booklovers oasis, and thanks for taking questions and being easily accessible to your listeners. My question is, I love reading but prefer to read in public places because although an introvert, I enjoy being in the presence of others, even if I don't want to interact with them. The problem is noise. Do you have any recommendations for an affordable brand of noise-canceling headphones?
Brea suggests trying a library or quiet coffee shops instead of reading in noisy environments. Recommendations for affordable noise-canceling headphones are not provided, but it would be worth trying the ones you've got.
Ep 432 - Hot Tips for Focusing on Reading + Adam Sockel!
Q: What are the tips for improving reading focus?
Combining techniques such as using Focus Friend app, setting reading times, and managing distractions like phones can enhance reading focus.
Ep 431 - Did Not Finish Books Vs Not Right Now Books
Q: How do you know when you should DNF a book?
Brea mentions it's about knowing the writing or plot isn't grabbing her, and that she often decides within a chapter if she doesn't like it.
Ep 429 - Aging Up Your Book Taste + Becky Spratford!
Q: How did you get into horror? Is this a lifelong love?
I've always liked darker speculative books, and working at the library gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into horror literature.
Ep 429 - Aging Up Your Book Taste + Becky Spratford!
Q: Did you ever feel like consciously I need to read older books?
No, I didn't take that many books to college and didn't feel a need to age up my reading taste consciously.
