Welcome back to Rants and Reviews! This is episode 40 and we can't quite believe we've made it this far. In this episode, we're chatting about one of the authors we really enjoy: Becky Albertalli. We talk about 5 of her books she's written so far, and a quick look at her novella which came out in 2020.
Welcome back to Rants and Reviews! In this episode, we're recommending books to check out based on 10 books on the Best Young Adult Books list on Goodreads. If you liked this book, try these books!
Time for a mid-year update! In this episode of Rants and Reviews, we take a look at 2020 so far and chat about how our Goodreads challenge is coming along, the 5 books on our Vow to Read list, the 5 books on our Vow to Reread list, and which books have been our favourite books so far!
Welcome back to episode 37 of the Rants and Reviews podcast. Today we're talking about all our childhood favourites: the books we read as kids and fondly 'aww' at whenever we talk about them.
Welcome to episode 36! In this episode we’re travelling around the world! Well, via the books we’ve read. Seeing as international travel is limited at the moment we thought it was a good opportunity to take a trip to some of the cities and countries that are the settings to books we’ve read over the years. Have a listen to find out which places we’d love to visit!
Welcome to episode 35! Today we’re talking about all the series that we don’t see ourselves finishing. You know the ones: you’ve read two of them and then the third one is so far down your TBR list and you know you’re never going to get round to reading it … but you also have books four and five sitting on your shelf too? Those ones. We’re never going to get around to them. Stay tuned to find out which ones we chose!
Welcome back to Rants and Reviews! We're super excited to be getting back into recording podcast episodes for you guys, and have a really fun season lined up! In today's episode, the first of season 4, we're taking 5 books each that we've read between seasons 3 and 4 and try to give you a synopsis and a review. There's a catch though; we only have 30 seconds per book. Get ready for some terrible plot-telling and a whole lot of hilarity.
Get ready for the season three blooper reel! Full of our stumbles over words that should be easy to say, never heard before snippets of conversations, and other funnies that didn't make it to the original episode. Enjoy!
Well back, podcast listeners! You’ve heard us talk about Neal Shusterman a lot recently, so we thought it was about time he got his own episode. Stay tuned for more Shusterman!
SPOILERS: While there aren’t too many major spoilers in this episode, if you haven’t read the first book in the Arc of the Scythe series, Scythe, but you plan to … maybe don’t listen to this episode. We’ll forgive you for skipping this one.
Welcome back to another Harry Potter episode! In episode 29 we began our chat about our recent reread of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. There were a lot of questions raised, some events which had been entirely forgotten, and even a conspiracy theory thrown in for good luck. Make sure you head on back to have a listen!
Today we are continuing on with our reactions from our Harry Potter reread, and we dive straight back in where we left, with Halloween, trolls in the dungeons, and the Golden Trio finally coming together.
Happy New Year! Happy 2020! We realise we’re well into the year by now, but we thought we’d share a bit of a round up of 2019 and also take a look at 2020. We’re going to be sharing our 2020 Goodreads Challenge, five books we vow to read this year, and five books we vow to re-read. Keep listening to find out which stories we’ve added to our lists.
Welcome back, dear listeners! Today we’re looking back at one of our favourite books from childhood: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Yes, that’s right; we did read it again! Stay tuned to hear what we thought.
Welcome back to Rants and Reviews. In this episode we’re talking about some of our favourite book covers. We realise this is audio only, but we’ll be doing our best to describe the covers in detail. We’ll be sharing some of these on Instagram and Twitter so you can see the covers we’re trying to describe.
It’s beginning to look like Christmas! In this episode we get a little bit festive as we chat about Let It Snow, the YA short story compilation by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. It might sound a little familiar if you’re on Netflix on a regular basis; it’s been made into a movie, so we see if the 2019 adaptation lives up to the 2008 stories. Pour yourself a gingerbread latte, grab yourself some festive snacks and let’s get into it.
You’d better go get some snacks, because in this episode we’re taking all about food and those books that make your mouth water the entire time you're reading it. You know the ones. We’re talking about our favourites and even have some recipe book shout outs.
Welcome back to Rants and Reviews! In this week’s episode we’re taking a look back at some of the series that we’ve started over the years but for whatever reason have yet to finish. Keep listening to find out which contemporary series Sophie needs to keep reading, and which books Anjali needs to read before their upcoming movie releases.
Welcome to the second episode of season three! We're celebrating Halloween on this episode, and getting spooky with one of our favourites things: magic!
Stay tuned to find out some of our favourite magical books!
Welcome back to Rants and Reviews! We’re very excited to be kicking off season three, and we hope you’re ready for another great season of book chatter. In our first episode of the season we’re taking a look at the next six months and share some of the books being released by authors we already know and love, and a few from authors whose books we’ve never read. Stay tuned to find out which books we chose!
It's time for another blooper reel! Tune in to here us stumble over words, get tongue-tied, and have long off topic chats. We've also thrown in a few never-heard-before pieces of audio that were cut from the original episode. Enjoy!
Welcome to the last episode of season two! Today we're wrapping up the last 6 months of 2019. We chat about how our reading challenges are going, and our favourite books of the year. Stick around for a whole lot of recommendations!
