It Ends With Booktok
This week, join hosts Amanda and Ziporah as we talk about the significant and impressive impact that Booktok has had on the publishing industry, and also discuss one of its darlings...Colleen Hoover!

Beige Flag Books
This week hosts Amanda & Ziporah discuss classics such as 'Lolita' by Vladamir Nabokov, 'The Catcher in the Rye' by JD Salinger and 'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace as they question whether something really can be considered a 'red flag book', and if so, what (if anything) does it say about the reader?

We Were All Rooting For You!
This week, we've got cancel culture and accountability on the brain and we're asking the big questions; can we separate the art from the artist? Should we even be trying to? Is cancel culture real?....and most importantly, does still loving Harry Potter make us bad people?? Join hosts Amanda and Ziporah as they discuss previously beloved authors and artists who have disappointed them, how they've been attempting to navigate this, and so much more.

Did Not Finish
When there’s so many books to read, and yet so little time, is there merit in knowing when to put down a book? And could curating our reading in this way lead to more thoughtful and beneficial reading? Join hosts Amanda and Ziporah as they start the season off with some vulnerability (and accountability) about some of the books that they just could not finish, and why.
