July is packed with sunny days and twinkling night skies, and so is this episode. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we try to reach out to the great beyond for some deity, alien, or whatever exists up there. We start with news on nonbinary books, cover some books we hauled this month, and move on to our TBR progress. Felicia is especially happy to discuss some humorous Olympian literature and not as happy to explain a few pacing issues that drug her month down a bit, but there are rereads sprinkled in for balance. Aaron is still stuck in middle-school, but we don't need to unpack that quite yet. We wrap everything up with tips to break a reading slump and set our sights on the last few weeks of the month.

July marks a major milestone for those in the U.S.A., but this podcast isn't feeling the most patriotic lately. Regardless, we, Felicia and Aaron, are setting a new theme that reaches out to the ethereal skies and exchange books that will bring some joy to this conflicting feeling we have. Join us as we cover some light news, exchange books, set our TBR for the month, and end with a fun question about surprising books.

Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover some upcoming releases and complex interview discussions, a catch-up on our TBR progress, some rapid-fire recommendations full of chroma, and a question related to the world of publishing.

A new month brings in a new theme for this podcast, and this will be colorful one - literally.

If you don't know who they are, just pretend you were transported to an odd and semi-wealthy, sort of pretentious, community) This podcast episode is unusual, and in this case, unusual means "likely to cover topics that are beyond the scope of your average book reviews." Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we round-out a month of random reads. We open with some upcoming books that are sure to excite, move on to our TBR progress which is equally thrilling and miserable, adorn some books with awards, and end with a question about music...on a book podcast?

Welcome to an extra-large mid-month episode! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we struggle through a weird and rambling discussion about the absolutely random assortment of books we read this month. It's a little spooky, a little romantic, a little depressing, and most other emotions you want from two book podcasters. We start with some fun news, discuss our monthly TBR progress, take a scavenger hunt for rapid fire recommendations, and end with a question about titling the memoirs that we are most definitely (sarcasm) going to write one day.

Welcome to May! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we prepare for a very sporadic, likely random, maybe a little chaotic month of reading. We open this one with a few light book articles before exchanging books based on our own randomizer systems and set a TBR with possibly the most range we have covered. We end with a fun question about ranking book characters and walk away from the mic with a fresh list of books to finish over the next 31 days.

Welcome to the middle of April and the halfway point of the great TBR spring cleaning of 2025! It's going...well, it's going. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we have a more subdued conversation about the Hugo awards, some recent releases, the little reading we managed during a hectic few weeks, and run down some rapid fire recommendations that haven't made it to the podcast.

Happy Women's History Month! Although we, Felicia and Aaron, did not focus on Women authors and literature for our March theme, we wanted to take some time to highlight some crucial works by Women in this episode. Join us as we cover some fun news on calligraphy (for some reason) and book awards, discuss recent purchases, and catch up on our current TBR progress. This is all a prelude to rapid recommendations related to Women and an semi-existential question to wrap up the show. Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy this one as much as we did.

Time for another special episode! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we test our booky knowledge with a rather lengthy quiz full of questions about authors, books, publication dates, and almost everything else you can imagine. We prepared a three-part quiz for one another that we use to test each other in alternating rounds.

The long February is over, and we, Felicia and Aaron, are trying to cheer things up in March.

Thank you for joining us, Felicia and Aaron, as we wrap up an unbelievably long February. The social and political climate has taken a toll on us this month, and our reading ground to a halt for a few weeks. In this episode, we share some news, give some sad updates on our TBR progress, try to ignore superlatives for the month, and end with a fun question about what should be at the end of a book. Thank you for listening and sticking with us as we find the spark to read more in March.

A few weeks into the shortest, and somehow longest, month of the year, we, Felicia and Aaron, regroup to cover our TBR progress and give some rapid fire recommendations on social and political literature. This is a more subdued episode as our brains are slowly decaying with the constant stream of bad news, cold weather, and rain, but we manage to find the energy for some engaging conversations. If you are interested in approachable activism literature or heavy literary theory, we offer both in this episode.

In this special episode of Talk Booky, we, Felicia and Aaron, decide to rank some book related topics in a way that is a little more...competitive? Mean? Fun? A little of each. We choose four categories and compile lists of items for each category. The list is then read to the other cohost, one item at a time, and the listening cohost has to choose to keep or leave each item. The catch is that we only have five "keeps" and five "leaves," so without a little strategy, we might end up with our favorite book about Minotaurs on a farm (hypothetical - neither of us have read that one...yet) being relegated to the leave category. It's a short, fun side-quest for the podcast during a month of heavy reading, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

It's the start of February, and a lot has happened. We, Felicia and Aaron, decided to address issues in the U.S. head-on by focusing on books that speak to our current political and social situation. In this episode, we introduce the theme, rant about red-lining (me - Aaron), and set up our TBR for the month. It's an episode full of social and political commentary, so if that's not for you, maybe take a break from the podcast this month, but if it is, thank you for joining us on this educational journey.

In our first episode of 2025, we, Felicia and Aaron, kick off with some genres that push our boundaries. Our resolutions are to try some literature we may not like, such as high fantasy for Aaron or historical fiction for Felicia or pseudo-scientific, psycho-religious, indoctrinating self-help (that one is a joke). We cover some fun 2025 news, set up our January TBR lists, exchange books, and end with a fun question about our most anticipated read.

Another November comes to a close as those in the U.S. are gorging on turkey and mashed potatoes, avoiding conversations with those awkward family members we see once a year, and falling asleep before 6 PM. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we try to liven up this cold and dark month with our monthly wrap-up of non-fiction reading.

Halfway through November and suffering from lack of sunlight, we, Felicia and Aaron, check in on our TBR progress for non-fiction November. We open with some news on GoodReads awards, discuss everything from being a clever girl to being "too much," and run down some short non-fiction and indigenous recommendations. This one...goes off the rails. Either the darkness and cold is getting to us, or we have really passionate opinions. We prefer the second option.
