Blind Girls' Book Talk

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today Belle and I are doing a Do I Have That Book Challenge.  
NOTE: We will be taking the rest of February off because we are moving.  Since it was a sudden move, we were not able to prep episodes ahead of time.  We will be back though in the March.

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today I am going to rank some of my favorite fictional men in a tier list.  The tiers are the same as they were for Belle's list but as a reminder they are:
Somebody Make Him Real

He's Alright But There Could Be Improvement
I'll Pass
Immediately No

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today I am discussing a book to movie comparison of "The BFG" by Roald Dahl.  
As a note: in the episode I do say that you may want to skip ahead at one point.  Let me give some context now.  There was one part of the movie that wasn't in the book that I found a little weird and it kinda bothered me.  I'm not normally one to get triggered by things, so I wanted to throw out a warning.  Nothing actually bad happens but it is just a situation that I found to be strange to include in a kids' movie.  If you are sensitive to some topics, then when you hear my say to skip ahead, skip to 15:40.

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today Belle and I are going to be talking about our thoughts on Book Tok, BookTube, and the other bookish social media spaces.  Belle had watched a video from the creator, According to Alina, about BookTok and overconsumption.  We just wanted to talk more about this topic merely as people who are part of the book social media space and give a different take.

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today Belle and I are celebrating 100 episodes of the podcast.  Today, I've decided to test Belle's knowledge of famous book quotes as well as connecting Harry Potter quotes to their characters.  I don't think I said it in the episode, but I do want to take the time to say a big thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast for any length of time over these past 100 episodes.  Belle and I truly appreciate your support.

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  Today Belle and I have been given the opportunity to read and briefly discuss a book before it is released.  We also got the chance to ask the author of the book some questions.  The book is called "The Star and The Strange Moon" by Constance Sayers.  The book will be released on November 14, 2023 and I definitely recommend this book.  We hope you enjoy this episode and a big thank you to Constance Sayers and anyone else involved for giving us this opportunity.

Hello fellow ink drinkers!  In honor of Halloween coming up, we are going to do another bad retelling of Poe short stories.  The stories we will cover this time are "Shadow - A Parable", "Silence - A Fable", "Never Bet The Devil Your Head", "Masque of the Read Death", and "Hop Frog".  As always SPOILER WARNING and CONTENT WARNING.  Poe stories are dark and even though we try not to go too deep into the stories, there are still dark themes.
