Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and sometimes unhinged fantasy quizzes.

This week, Amanda and Kat dive into a chaotic “Pack Your Bag” fantasy quiz—and discover that Amanda is a panicky pixie packing an anxious teddy bear and a goat named Bitey. Naturally.

The episode spirals delightfully from there with a round of bookish “Would You Rather” (dog-eared pages or spoilers, anyone?) and a debate over naming pets—or children—after fictional characters.

They also reveal their trope obsessions of the week:

  • Dystopian societies (The Last Bookstore on Earth, 1984)
  • Amateur sleuths (Nancy Drew, Thursday Murder Club, and more)

And Amanda’s hot take? Everyone should read Finnegans Wake—but Kat’s firmly in the “absolutely not” camp.

Mentioned in the episode:

  • The Last Bookstore on Earth by Andrew T. Stone
  • 1984 by George Orwell
  • A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
  • Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
  • Finnegans Wake by James Joyce

Tune in for the absurd, the cozy, and the unfiltered chaos that is Can I Bring My Book.
