Literary Podcasts Part II

Hello everyone. I have missed you all SO MUCH! I haven't blogged as much these past couple days because, drum roll, school started! I promise everyone is safe, masked, and socially distanced at my school. What about you? How has COVID-19 affected you reading? Comment both down below!

Because of internships, programs, busy work, and, now, homework, I have been listening to no end of great podcasts. I already did a post on this, but I have a couple more I NEED to share. 


Phoebe Reads a Mystery


I am literally in love, y'all. I can honestly say that I listen to this podcast every day. I have listened to 3 full books on this podcast. I truly cannot get enough. It is a great way to fly through books if you haven't the time to sit down with a physical copy for a couple of days. Phoebe's voice is AMAZINGLY calming, yet informative. This podcast helps me get into books. As you all know, my favorite genre is mystery/detective. This podcast is perfect. Five stars. ZERO complaints.

99% Invisible: Weeding is Fundamental


I love 99% Invisible. The storytelling and educational qualities and capabilities are unsurpassable. This podcast is not necessarily for bookworms, though. This episode is about librarians weeding books, and it is phenomenal. It was recently recommended to me by someone who is an avid podcaster listener. I can say honestly, Phoebe, you were right! I love it! Thank you. 

I put on my Instagram in an urgent plea to get my followers to listen to this episode: "If you care anything at all for books, listen to this!"

Read It or List It


This podcast is hosted by Phoebe Wright (squeal-able last name for a book podcaster and bookstagrammer) and Ashley Chandler who are the two least egregious people you will ever meet (I guess by "meet" I mean stalking their bookstagrams, websites, and podcasts.). They both have wonderful and self (or shelf) loving accounts and blogs/websites. 

Read It or List It does episodes on a 'series' basis. The hosts choose a genre (or type of book, you'll see) to pitch to each other and to the listeners. These are my favorite episodes because I always walk away with 5 or 6 new book recommendations. 

I love listening to this podcast when I'm in a book slump, fresh out of ideas, or just having a rough day. The hosts and the subject will make you smile.

I am realizing there are a lot of Phoebes in this post. I promise they are all different people! 

Do you know a literary Phoebe of your own? What are you reading or listening to? When do you start back at school? Happy reading (and listening)!! Comment below!

Author Spotlight: Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Kimberly Brubaker Bradley At my school, I am a Library Leader. (Library Leaders promote reading in the middle school and recommend books for the younger grades.) The Library Leaders had the fortunate opportunity of eating lunch and meeting with Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. We got to ask her questions and just talk with her. Mrs. Bradley also spoke to the whole seventh and eighth grade in assembly about her research. 1)      When/How does she write? Mrs. Bradley writes in the morning, but this depends on her chores for the day. She got into her routine when her children, now graduating college and out of college, were small and went to school. She would always wait until her husband took them to drop them off at school. She likes for her writing space to be very quiet. She prefers typing when she when she writes as to writing. (This may be pretty common; I do not know what the common format among writers is today. I just thought I would include eve...

The Great Literary Trip: Day 1

Hello everyone, and welcome to 16 days on the road with Between the Pages! I am traveling the east coast for around two weeks finding the best bookstores, exploring literary sites, and plundering my way through roughly 2,000 miles of land, through hamlets and cities, through rain and sun. This reader is up to the challenge. Are you? As promised, I will supply a daily report of my wanderings including the cities we explored, the sites we discovered, and the shops we visited. Without further adieu, here is day 1! (More exciting reports are to come, as driving was today's main {*only*} activity.) Day 1 CITIES We made it to three main cities today: Bristol, TN , Knoxville, TN , and Charlottesville, VA . Again, today's main activity was driving (and driving and driving and driving). Today was not my first journey to any of the three cities; however, this road trip shed new light on each one. BOOKSTORES Our first literary stop of the entire trip was a spontaneous one. The original pl...

The Southeast's Best Bookstores

      Southern Living's  The South's Best Bookstores highlights five bookstores in the southeastern United States that the publication deems noteworthy based on a wide range of traits. While the article does not go into much detail nor has a central theme besides telling readers of good bookshops, the bookstores look credible after further research. While I have only been to one of the stores (Sundog Books in Seaside, which I love), I did research on the others and found four more bookshops to put on my bucket-list.        THE ALABAMA BOOKSMITH      While not very old, The Alabama Booksmith in Birmingham has a long history of literary predecessors. Even so, The Alabama Booksmith holds its own among its successful precursors considering it opened its doors in 1999. The shop makes it its mission to sell all signed copies.  "Every book in the store is now signed!" - The Alabama Booksmith, About Our Store.  Additiona...
