While 2021 was mostly ugh, there were bright spots. So we're bringing you our favorite reads of the year, along with a few pop culture picks and other things that made our lives better.
Books discussed in this episode (and view them all at our Bookshop list):
A Certain Hunger, Chelsea G Summers (and revisit our conversation with the author)
We Are Watching Eliza Bright, A.E. Osworth (and revisit our conversation with the author)
Real Lolita, Sarah Weinman (and revisit our conversation with the author)
Other stuff discussed:
Virtual book events (like Amy's events and our Broads and Books small press event)
Legos (including the new Queer Eye Loft set)
Broads and Books is a book podcast. A funny podcast. A feminist podcast. And one of the BEST podcasts. Each week Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste. Along the way, we share embarrassing stories, pitch amazing-slash-crackpot business ideas, implicate ourselves in future crimes, check in on our Podcats, and so much more. Broads and Books is fresh, funny, thought-provoking, and basically the best time you'll have all week.
