Where we discover we both like to read different things and aren't fans of book clubs, but decide to start one anyway:
• Discussing our reluctance about traditional book clubs
• Establishing a 100-page rule to skip boring books
• Sharing recommendations and personal tastes in books
These book club episodes will be available only on our Patreon so join us over there for all the conversations where we'll recap the books and act like Hollywood producers who cast the characters.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back.
Hey guys, we birthed a bookclub.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Neither of us like book clubs.
Yeah, I'm actually quite averseto book clubs.
I don't like being told what todo.
Same, so yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I mostly wanted to be part of a book club because it
sounds like they just like hangout and drink wine.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Also, some people have really weird taste in books
.
Fuck yeah in books Fuck yeah,but so far I mean not to be a
spoiler alert, but what you'reabout to listen to is an episode
of us kind of officiallyassigning each other our first
read.
So that's kind of the plan isthat we're going to assign each
other something to read that weloved, and because we both have
different tastes in books, it'slikely that we have not read
(00:45):
each other's recommendationalready.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So if you want to be a Patreon, all this glory can be
yours, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And we'll have conversations about the books in
there and do some Q and A's andthings and get everybody
involved.
Um, so you have to listen tothis episode to find out what
the first assignments are.
Um, but actually, and also andalso, christmas has a very good
clause that she has attached tothis book club.
What's my the 100-page clause?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the 100-page clause and that is
, if you after 100 pages, if youfucking hate it, you can abort.
You can totally abort, but yougotta give it like 100 pages.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And I love that rule.
I think it's fantastic.
Thank you.
So sit back, enjoy.
This is the first book club.
This is a preview of what bookclub looks like and it will be
available in Patreon from now on.
Okay, we're just going to startrecording this, because it
could be we might just offer itas bonus content or whatever.
(01:46):
But we've been talking aboutbooks and like recommending
books, and I just have andromance novels.
Romance novels yeah, howdisappointing they can be.
You got to be really carefulwho is recommending the book to
you, because you might get 45chapters in and there's still no
smut like I call this thediscovery of witches clause,
which don't give me a bookthat's 800 pages long.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
And then I get to the end and they haven't even
kissed.
We've got to go to book two,back to find Shakespeare, before
there's even any boning.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm here for the vampire pain.
Give it to me.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Sure.
And like hot wish on vampireshit Great, or werewolf,
whatever, yeah.
And like Hot Witch on VampireShit great or Werewolf, whatever
, yeah, yeah, yeah, the one thatI was thinking of that I
haven't read any is calledVirgin River, which I have heard
has some smut.
Let's check out the synopsis.
Oh, wanted midwife, nursepractitioner in Virgin River,
(02:41):
population 600, make adifference.
Against a backdrop of toweringcalifornia redwoods oh my god,
is this like by me, maybe?
Uh, and crystal clear rivers,rent-free, cabin included.
When the recently widowedmelinda monroe sees this ad, she
decides to fucking head on downthere.
Oh, it's a place to escape herheartache, re-energize her,
(03:04):
nursing Her.
Hopes are dashed because thecabin's a dump, the roads are
treacherous and the local doctorwants her to fuck right off.
She decides to leave town.
Oh, oh my god, there's a babyin this.
There's a tiny baby abandonedon a front porch.
It better be an animal.
Oh, and former Marine JackSheridan cements them into place
(03:27):
.
Jack Sheridan, former Marine,he's going to cement something
into place.
I'll bet he does.
I'll tell you that much rightnow.
I think a lot of the hotties inthis are former Navy, seal,
ex-military guys.
I was hoping there was going tobe some like cowboy porn, but
(03:47):
it seems like I don't know ifit's cowboy, but it might take
place close to where I live.
It's mentioned Redwoods.
There's 27 of them, so peoplelike this.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I might try to read it 27
of them.
That reminds me of like One forthe Money, two for the oh yeah,
the Sue Grafton.
Two for the Dough, I think itwas.
Is it Sue Grafton?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Is that Sue Grafton, or she's like A is for?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
You know I got to look it up because I did read.
I did get sucked into those.
When I was pregnant with ParkerI read like One for the Money,
which was not a bad movie.
Who like one for the money,which was not a bad movie?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
um who?
Who writes this?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
why can't I remember?
Come on, because it's been along time.
Oh, it's, it's stephanie plumb.
It's, stephanie plumb is themain character.
She janet, janet ivanovich, ofcourse oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah there's like 30 of them now, and after a while it's kind of
like I know I read one of those.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I just finished a series of four and I'm waiting
for the fifth one to come out.
This was very exciting.
It's murder mystery stuff, butcute British murder mystery with
octogenarians Okay, like oldpeople solving murder mysteries
and sometimes can be not, as youknow, exciting.
(05:05):
But it's at a what's it called?
It takes place at an activeadult community.
It's called the Thursday murderclub.
That's the first book andthere's four of them and the
fifth one's coming out this year.
And I remember like sometimesyou know if I'm reading a book
I'll cast it in my mind.
And I remember like sometimesyou know if I'm reading a book
I'll cast it in my mind.
And after reading four of themI was like God damn, why has no
(05:27):
one made this into a movie?
This would be such a good movie.
Went to research.
It found out they're inproduction and one of the people
that I cast in my head- is?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
who's playing it?
Don't tell me, because I'mgoing to listen to it on the way
out to see you.
Okay, okay, and I want to seeif I would cast the same people
that you would cast, okay, sothat's exciting though we should
have a viewing, we should viewit together at some point when
it comes out.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Oh yeah, oh well, there it's only in it's.
They're filming right now.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
It's not going to be out for a while.
I I'm happy, I'm excited aboutthis Cause.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I definitely need something a little bit to
lighten like the mood in generalin life right now.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, it's cute, it's cute.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
The characters are funny.
I'm trying to decide if I wantyou to cast it after, after
listening to just one of them orlistening to like two of them,
so you can really get a feel.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I don't know, but I have to go shut my bedroom door
here because Parker just gothome and he's going to be all
loud and obnoxious and then Iwant to tell you something.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Okay, I will hold down the fort.
This is where I vamp.
Here's me vamping.
Oh, that took way less timethan I thought it was going to
take.
What'd you say?
I'm done vamping now.
I thought you had to go likeout into the house.
I was like, hey guys, this iswhere I vamp.
And then you were back in twoseconds.
Speaker 2 (06:50):

business in progress.
Yes, stay out, be quiet, okay.
So I accept your challenge ofreading.
I will read it, even if I hateit.
(07:12):
But I probably won't hate itbecause you have good
recommendations and I trust you?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't think you'll hate it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I challenge you to read Akatar a court of thorn and
roses okay, hold on, I'mlooking it up right now.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Do I have to call it Akatar Akatar?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't care if you call it ACOTAR or not.
A Court of Thorn and Roses isthe first book in the series.
Oh, yeah, okay, Okay and peoplerefer to the whole series as
ACOTAR Adult fantasy.
Speaker 1 (07:38):

to a great start and it's takento prithee Tamlin, a high fate

You're going to like.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh God, there's a whole Reddit sub.
There's a subreddit.
Don't read anything about it.
I'm not, but I just saw apicture of what they think.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
this maybe this person looks like yeah, you have
to completely stay out of nothink this.
Maybe this person looks like,yeah, you have to completely
stay out of.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
No, that's ew gross.
Yeah, you have to completelystay out of any kind of social
media like just no spoileralerts, because I'm going in
blind.
Except I know that there is abetter pronunciation of that
word, and also now I knowthere's fairy politics.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So yes, and I will, yeah, just read the first one,
and then I would say like howlong are they?
I mean not like, not bad, andthey're super obviously super
easy read.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, I gotta, I gotta, finish what I'm on right
now.
Oh, you know what else you haveto show me?
You have to show me how toautomatically sync my Kindle
when I'm listening to somethingand reading it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Oh, the whisper sync.
It should automatically do itif it's on your phone.
I probably have some kind ofthing Are you listening to your
Kindle on your phone through theKindle app or are you listening
to a separate Kindle?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'm not listening to anything right now, I just feel
like I tried it in the past.
I only read Kindle on my Kindleusually, unless it was
something like where you weretoday waiting for jury duty, in
which case I would no, I'dprobably bring my Kindle with me
.
Actually.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, I've only ever read Kindle on my on the Kindle
app on my phone, and so itautomatically picks up where I
left off on the audible.
But you spend a lot of time,like you like, to lay in bed and
read at night.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So you would blast through this really quickly
anyway, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, and you listen to books way more than I do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, Just, I just can't sit any more than I
already sit Like and we don'tread, we don't read, we don't
read bedtime stories when we goto sleep.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh, you and your husband don't read bedtime
stories, you don't read ACOTARto each other.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We have no TV in our room and we we turned the lights
.
It's black instantly.
Like it's dark we go to sleepor other.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I have strong feelings.
Yeah, we have no TV in ourbedroom either.
I kind of have strong feelingsabout TV in bedrooms, like to
the negative, yeah.
I mean like I feel like peoplewatch too much TV already and
bedrooms are for sleeping andnot sleeping, but not watching
TV.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, we used to have one in our room and then it
just there was nowhere really toput it in this one, so we just
didn't.
So we haven't had one in ourroom, and then it just there was
nowhere really to put it inthis one, so we just didn't, so
we haven't had one in our roomfor eight years, I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had one in my room.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think statistically I could probably look this up,
but like, statistically, it isnot great for the relationship
oh, because people fight aboutwhat to watch or because you're
no, I um less boning more tv.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I also, if we had a TV, like we're going to want to
watch different stuff.
We don't have a lot ofcrossover TV shows and the ones
that we do, that's like ournighttime couch time.
Yeah, see here's what.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Here's what AI.
I Googled it.
Here's what AI says.
According to the available data, a significant portion of
married couples have a TV intheir bedroom, with estimates
suggesting around 71% ofhouseholds with a television
also have one in the bedroom.
I believe that so 71% andpotential concerns include.
Some experts argue that havingthe TV in the bedroom can
(12:08):
negatively impact intimacy andsleep quality due to
distractions.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm already distracted during intimate
moments.
I know I have a hard enoughtime focusing.
Yeah, kidding, kidding honey.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm not picturing anyone else.
I could see, though, like Icould see it being really
annoying if one person couldn'tsleep without the TV on, like if
they had to fall asleep to theTV.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Oh hell, no, no, I'm not sleeping with the TV on,
absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Murder.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'll die first.
Someone else will die first.
We'd have a calamity.
Yeah, I'll be God damned ifsomeone's going to be up in my
sleep time trying to watch TV.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, and I mean, that's why I don't like neither
one of us reads before we go tosleep either, because the other
person's like usually like Ijust want to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So then the lights annoying and well, that's why I
like my little Kindle, becauseit can be super dark.
But on my Kindle it's blackwith white ratings and Hammer
doesn't even really see it.
Yeah, every once in a whilehe'll say could you, honey,
could you please just turn thata little bit the other direction
?
So sweet, yeah, honey, my dear,would you, could you?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
could you be a little less intrusive in my sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Be a lamb, would you?
He's never said that.
Turn away, turn away from meTurn away with haste.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
All right, I got to go do stuff, okay?
Well, get out of here, then Getout of here.
Be gone, love you Bye.

Yeah, you have to completelystay out of any kind of social
media like just no spoileralerts, because I'm going in
blind.
Except I know that there is abetter pronunciation of that
word, and also now I knowthere's fairy politics.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So yes, and I will, yeah, just read the first one,
and then I would say like howlong are they?
I mean not like, not bad, andthey're super obviously super
easy read.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, I gotta, I gotta, finish what I'm on right
now.
Oh, you know what else you haveto show me?
You have to show me how toautomatically sync my Kindle
when I'm listening to somethingand reading it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Oh, the whisper sync.
It should automatically do itif it's on your phone.
I probably have some kind ofthing Are you listening to your
Kindle on your phone through theKindle app or are you listening
to a separate Kindle?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I'm not listening to anything right now, I just feel
like I tried it in the past.
I only read Kindle on my Kindleusually, unless it was
something like where you weretoday waiting for jury duty, in
which case I would no, I'dprobably bring my Kindle with me
.
Actually.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, I've only ever read Kindle on my on the Kindle
app on my phone, and so itautomatically picks up where I
left off on the audible.
But you spend a lot of time,like you like, to lay in bed and
read at night.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So you would blast through this really quickly
anyway, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, and you listen to books way more than I do.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, Just, I just can't sit any more than I
already sit Like and we don'tread, we don't read, we don't
read bedtime stories when we goto sleep.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh, you and your husband don't read bedtime
stories, you don't read ACOTARto each other.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
We have no TV in our room and we we turned the lights
.
It's black instantly.
Like it's dark we go to sleepor other.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I have strong feelings.
Yeah, we have no TV in ourbedroom either.
I kind of have strong feelingsabout TV in bedrooms, like to
the negative, yeah.
I mean like I feel like peoplewatch too much TV already and
bedrooms are for sleeping andnot sleeping, but not watching
TV.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, we used to have one in our room and then it
just there was nowhere really toput it in this one, so we just
didn't.
So we haven't had one in ourroom, and then it just there was
nowhere really to put it inthis one, so we just didn't, so
we haven't had one in our roomfor eight years, I guess.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever had one in my room.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I think statistically I could probably look this up,
but like, statistically, it isnot great for the relationship
oh, because people fight aboutwhat to watch or because you're
no, I um less boning more tv.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I also, if we had a TV, like we're going to want to
watch different stuff.
We don't have a lot ofcrossover TV shows and the ones
that we do, that's like ournighttime couch time.
Yeah, see here's what.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Here's what AI.
I Googled it.
Here's what AI says.
According to the available data, a significant portion of
married couples have a TV intheir bedroom, with estimates
suggesting around 71% ofhouseholds with a television
also have one in the bedroom.
I believe that so 71% andpotential concerns include.
Some experts argue that havingthe TV in the bedroom can
(12:08):
negatively impact intimacy andsleep quality due to
distractions.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm already distracted during intimate
moments.
I know I have a hard enoughtime focusing.
Yeah, kidding, kidding honey.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I'm not picturing anyone else.
I could see, though, like Icould see it being really
annoying if one person couldn'tsleep without the TV on, like if
they had to fall asleep to theTV.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Oh hell, no, no, I'm not sleeping with the TV on,
absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Murder.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'll die first.
Someone else will die first.
We'd have a calamity.
Yeah, I'll be God damned ifsomeone's going to be up in my
sleep time trying to watch TV.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, and I mean, that's why I don't like neither
one of us reads before we go tosleep either, because the other
person's like usually like Ijust want to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
So then the lights annoying and well, that's why I
like my little Kindle, becauseit can be super dark.
But on my Kindle it's blackwith white ratings and Hammer
doesn't even really see it.
Yeah, every once in a whilehe'll say could you, honey,
could you please just turn thata little bit the other direction
?
So sweet, yeah, honey, my dear,would you, could you?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
could you be a little less intrusive in my sleep.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Be a lamb, would you?
He's never said that.
Turn away, turn away from meTurn away with haste.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
All right, I got to go do stuff, okay?
