In the first episode of the season, join us as we dig into the life and novels of THE James Baldwin: author, activist, playwright, and icon (and apparently ex-pastor). As a champion and friend of so many of our faves (Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Miles Davis, etc.) we were SO excited to discuss him and he does not disappoint! Although Ziporah does have some questions about his female characters...

Hi friends! Did you miss us? Join hosts Amanda & Ziporah for a special end-of-year reading wrap up as we look back on 2023...and what a year it's been.

We dive into our Top 3 books of the year, as well as the reading habits we've picked up (and might have to leave in 2023). Tune in for honest conversation on the current state of the world and how it's affected our reading, the authors we've added to our shelves for 2024, and a not-to-be-missed sermon from Amanda on the importance of delayed gratification.

Stick around till the end for updates on Season 3, and in the meantime, happy holidays!

It's the final episode of the season! This week we're talking about the books that have revolutionised us personally in some way and also revolutionary books as a genre. Join us as we discuss whether it's important to read the books that have revolutionised the world and constructed society as we know it today and look out for some recommendations like Are Prisons Obsolete? by Angela Davis and How Europe Underdeveloped Africa by Walter Rodney!

Thank you so much for joining us this season, we've loved sharing these discussions with you <3

Watch out for Season 3!

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! We read 'It Ends With Us', and hilarity ensues, but so does an enlightening conversation about 'bad' love, self-love, and the nature of forgiveness.

Join hosts Amanda and Ziporah this week as they discuss their literary blindspots (the perspectives we miss when we cling to the genres, contexts and archetypes we're used to) and how they plan on moving towards a more holistic library.

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?
