Let's talk about Rebecca Ross's duology, Letters of Enchantment! I just finished reading Ruthless Vows and wowie. Let's talk about it!
This is the beginning of quite a journey... We get to talk about my favorite book series of all time, like ever. I am so excited to discuss everything about Harry Potter in this mini-series (probably will be a max-series considering just how much information is out there on Harry Potter). We dive into the first chapter of book 1, and discuss the background and the "why" of the world of Harry Potter!

I took inspiration from the YouTube series "73 Questions with..." by Vogue and decided to interview myself... but with BOOK-related questions! These are such fun questions to ask yourself for creativity, to ask SOs and friends when you want to bond, and are great icebreakers!

This is my true thought process and the way my brain works when I want to do something like this. Come hang out and learn about more than just books as we discover the wild and interesting nuances of years before us, back to year 4.

This episode starts with me discussing some * important literature * (aka the albums I can't stop listening to), which takes up the entire beginning two thirds of the episode.
DISCLAIMER: I have marked this episode as “explicit” due to the nature of the content. While I don’t graphically discuss anything explicit, I do talk about the nature of banned books, many of which are claimed to be “sexually explicit”. I also discuss the topic of sex education. Again - I will not be explicitly speaking about anything. It’s just the aforementioned topics that are mentioned. To maintain clarity with the platforms I distribute to, I need to ensure any topics that can be construed as “explicit” are clearly titled - thus the use of the “explicit” E you will see by the title of this episode.

For every Book Report episode, there will be a shorter, bite-sized version to give you a similar, but less time-consuming view into the book! Babel by R. F. Kuang was my favorite read of 2023 and this episode explains why.
Welcome to the first Book Report episode! Head over to episode 4 to experience the shorter version of today's show. We discuss the magic system of this book, a brief explanation of the plot of the book, and my thoughts and review of the INCREDIBLE R. F. Kuang (in my opinion, one of the most educated, accomplished, and brilliant Gen-Z/Millennial authors I've read to date - she has all my respect). I am always looking for feedback! You can feel free to rate and review me wherever you're listening, shoot me a DM, or even email at theliteraryreportpodcast@gmail.com. THANK YOU! Links: R. F. Kuang's website: https://rfkuang.com/

Welcome to The Literary Report! This first episode will introduce you to what this show is all about. We'll be talking about all things books (though we may need to stretch that definition at times). Thanks for being here!
