We Really Should Have Had an Agenda
Manage episode 489272987 series 3604757
Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and occasionally forget to plan ahead.
This week’s episode is a full-on hot take tornado. Amanda and Kat may not have had an agenda, but they definitely had opinions. From mood reading denialists and Goodreads ethics to reading as “overconsumption,” nothing is safe.
Along the way, they discuss:
📚 Why mood reading is real (and personal)
🎧 Accidentally re-reading the wrong story
🔥 Grady Hendrix’s unhinged author reviews of his own books
💬 The debate over reading 20+ books a month—and whether that’s somehow… bad?
☕️ Tropes of the week: Training sequences and The Instant Expert
Also mentioned: Circe by Madeline Miller, Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King, Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore, and Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
So, yeah… we really should’ve had an agenda. But where’s the fun in that?
