Episode 21: Bookish Problems When the Struggle Is Real

Well friends, we asked, and you answered. We're sharing ALL of our bookish problems in this new episode!

What do you do when all your library holds come in at once? Want to read diversely, but don't know where to start? How do you push past the fear of annotating? How do you prioritize reading over responsibilities in life? Do you pick the new release or a backlist title for your next read?

How do you get over reading slumps? We attempt to offer advice in this episode, and if we don't have advice, we at least share in declaring that #TheStruggleIsReal. It's so nice to be among other readers who GET. IT.

Favorite Books of ALL TIME

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie attempt to name their favorite books of all time. And they mostly accomplish it. But it’s hard when you’ve got favorites that span categories...should favorite children’s books be lumped in with favorite adult books? Should favorite fantasy be mixed in with favorite literary fiction? The struggle to pick favorite books is real, friends. The struggle is real. IT’S SO HARD.

Kenzie is also a fellow Anne of Green Gables fan, so we gush about our favorite carrot top and try not to leave Mollie behind (who while recording this episode was only four pages into the book).

Episode 12: Transformation Stories

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie talk about all kinds transformation stories. We mention how most good stories include transformation but how that may be different from a transformation story.

Episode 11: Unlock Creativity ft. Gilmore Girls Actress Keiko Agena

We're so thrilled to get to talk to Keiko Agena, artist, actress, and author of No Mistakes: A Perfect Workbook for Imperfect Artists. Keiko is best known for her role as Lane Kim on the TV show Gilmore Girls, which just so happens to be a favorite show of ours! 

We loved diving into what makes this workbook/creative journal so special, and how Keiko Agena encourages people to put aside pressures of perfection to embrace beautifully flawed art!

We talked about finding your "artist" voice when you don't feel creative, pushing creative boundaries, loving your process, and how learning to tap into your creativity without fear can bring a little more kindness into this world.

Episode 9: Interview with Author of Ghosted Rosie Walsh

Photo by Anna Pumer Photography

This may be our favorite episode YET! In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie have a delightful conversation with Rosie Walsh, the debut author of the book Ghosted (released last week in the US). Rosie was a joy to speak with: articulate, insightful, and warm - much like the book she wrote. We learn all sorts of things about Rosie’s experience writing Ghosted, we all share the craziest stories of ghosting we’ve ever heard, and we even get to hear a little about Rosie’s next book. We think you’ll find Rosie JUST as delightful as we do! (sidenote: Katie’s microphone stopped working last week, so sound quality is a little spotty in this episode. We’re working on getting it fixed!)
