Audiobooks to last you through quarantine | Episode 274
25/03/2020 Duración: 17minWe read an article from Yahoo called "10 celebrity narrated audiobooks to listen to while quarantined" and we started thinking "huh, you know who sometimes SUCKS at narrating books and the only reason their audiobooks do well is because they have a pre-existing fan base and have the publicity to push their crap harder than anyone else? CELEBRITIES". So we decided to pick out some audiobooks narrated by career narrators that are awesome reads to get you through these social distancing times. We also have a pile of honorable mentions that...may have a subtle message to take care of yourself. Let us know what you are reading while in quarantine, and WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS, PLEASE! --This is the audio from our latest BookTube. If you want to see us in action SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube!

YA fantasy authors dipping their toes into the adult fantasy pond | Episode 272
18/03/2020 Duración: 14minWe have a questions for young adult fantasy authors...what pulls some of you to the adult fantasy world? In today's latest discussion we are talking about authors who started out in the YA world and then ventured into the adult scene, why they may do this, and what authors we could see dabbling in adult fantasy next. Let us know in the comments below what YA fantasy authors YOU could see releasing the next great adult fantasy! Also, the ice cream we are eating is Nightfood. We were given a promotional giftcard to get 2 free pints in exchange for a review and promotion. While we loved the flavors and abundance of chocolatey chips, our stomachs revolted against us a little later. We think it's because of the sugar content and we aren't sure if others had the same issue. We'd recommend for those that have strong tummies, though! --This is the audio from our latest BookTube.

The Whisper Man by Alex North | Episode 267
24/02/2020 Duración: 13minOur parents taught us that if we don't have anything nice to say.....leave a review. So that's what we are doing today for the AUDIOBOOK version of The Whisper Man by Alex North.

Will we EVER read these books?! | Episode 266
19/02/2020 Duración: 12minWe've been building our Forever TBR list since we were in elementary school. Books we've seen in movies, books our favorite teachers recommended, books Brad never got to read because he went to Catholic school until 8th grade. Our list has been STACKED for a long time. So long, in fact, we are doubtful we'll ever read any of this list because these non-read novels have become such a staple in our lives! What's on YOUR Forever TBR?

Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson | Episode 265
17/02/2020 Duración: 16minNever have I ever....enjoyed listening to someone scuba dive in a book - Britney. Never have I ever....wanted a book to get it over with already! - Brad. WE DON'T AGREE ON A BOOK! This is a rare occurrence in the universe that happens, maybe, only twice a year. Britney really enjoyed listening to the self narrated novel, Never Have I Ever by Joshilyn Jackson, she found it to be informative, thrilling, and a great little jaunt through an effed up neighborhood. Brad, on the other hand, could have done without the drawn out reading that made the audiobook almost 13 hours long. See what else we have to say about this suspenseful little diddy about Roux and Amy, and how in a tiny neighborhood...everyone's hiding something. -This is the audio from our latest BookTube.

What does the thriller genre got against women? | Episode 262
05/02/2020 Duración: 16minSo we've noticed something that is really interesting about most books in the thriller genre: they revolve around women. Either the woman is overcoming a tribulation, the story is based around a woman, or the woman is being stalked by some shadowy figure getting ready for MURRRRRRDERRRRR. We know it's not all thrillers, and we also LOVE when thrillers do this, but we are also curious about where the genre is going and if we'll see more men becoming the apple of gaslighting eyes in the future. --This is the audio from our latest BookTube.
