The Bookstore Challenge 2022 Dec 31, 2021

We really enjoyed having a prompt every month to help choose our books, and we loved seeing our listeners using this challenge to pick books as well, so we're doing it again in 2022!

These are the prompts we will be following to choose our podcast reads for the year. There is just one prompt per month, making this an approachable and adaptable to work with other challenges you may be attempting in 2022!

114 - A Little Princess Dec 21, 2021

Our final book for December's theme of "Book Published Before 1950," we read A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, released in 1905. We both loved the 1995 movie as kids and it was interesting to compare.

Next week we will be announcing our plans for 2022!

112.5 - A Survey of Sci-Fi Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

We've got a chatty one for you this week. Becca received a tweet that prompted her to lightly investigate the origins of the Science Fiction Genre. We talk about where it started, where it's gone, is it different from Fantasy, and is the sky a place or just the top.

Next week we will be discussing My Great, Wide, Beautiful World by Juanita Harrison. You might be able to get a copy from a local library, otherwise you should be able to find PDFs online to read if you'd like to read along with us!
