  • A 101 Guide to getting through your never-ending physical TBR
    Jul 23 2024

    In this week's mini-episode, we discuss the stress of a never-ending physical TBR. Recently my TBR has grown to an overwhelming point and it made me reflect: how did I even end up here? I dissect this and all of the stress I've felt with this TBR. I talk about some ways I've begun to cope with this stress and maybe some ways you can too!

  • How Women Invented Book Clubs and Revolutionized Reading: A brief history of women in the literary world
    Mar 4 2024

    Nowadays, we see book clubs everywhere! With big names like Oprah and Reese Witherspoon hosting their own book clubs, these groups have become very mainstream. From schools to libraries to online spaces, book clubs are all around. However, it wasn't aways this way. Literary spaces have been known to be extremely exclusive, especially to marginalized groups. In a time where women were so commonly excluded from universities and philosophical circles, so often denied the right to education and were ridiculed for trying to engage in any type of literature, women still found means to access and engage with this literature in their own right as well as with other women. In this episode, we discuss all the ways women invented book clubs and revolutionized the literary world.
