It’s our very last episode of Book Interrupted and we’re sending this chapter off with laughter, nostalgia, and a few surprises. After five years, five seasons, countless books, endless tangents, and more inappropriate jokes than we can count, we’re wrapping up the podcast that brought us together, kept us sane through Covid, and built a beautiful community of book lovers.
In this final conversation, we look back on our journey, share behind-the-scenes stories, and reflect on how far we’ve all come since the very first episode. We introduce Jessica, our amazing graphic designer. We talk about our infamous “sex, nudity, and dicks = more downloads” statistic. We revisit our favourite (and least favourite… or downright hated) books, relive scams, fandoms, and obsessions…and of course, we circle back to The Hunger Games and Twilight because obviously.
Plus: how Ashley went from superfan to full-time host, the story behind our “Stumble Forward” tank top, a message from Lia, Virginia and Squiggy, and Sarah’s heartfelt thank-you surprise.
This episode is messy, honest, funny, and full of love…exactly how Book Interrupted was meant to be.
