The Island Library Podcast

two writer friends discuss a new book each week, deciding if that book would get a space if they were on a deserted island. #books #podcast #podcastcommunity

It's been a minute, but the island library is returning to your lives in October! We're so excited to be back ❤️🏝️

It's a recording day! Friendly reminder that a day where you talk to somebody you love about a topic you both love is a good day. 10/10, highly recommend.

Both of our book club reads this month are fantasy, although quite different types. If you're a fantasy reader, do you have a favourite sub-genre?

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

Fancy some Septembery reads? You might like Before the Coffee Gets Cold for cosy autumn vibes, or A Very Large Expanse of Sea if you're feeling all back-to-school and fancy some contemporary YA! We talked about both in this episode, if you're curious 😉

@FranWongWrites Books!! Or, if books is too general, whatever single book we last read. We've got a lot of practice at that now 😁📖

This is pretty much how our seashell ratings work on the island tbh 🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚

[jewel @ellqswarner]

i dont rate books based on how well written they are. if it made me cry, 5/5. if i read it in less than three days, 5/5. if i got obsessed with at least one character, 5/5. if it lures me to search up edits and fanarts all day long, 5/5.

We're in for a treat this month on the island! September's book club reads are Malice and Once Upon a Broken Heart, and we are EXCITED. Have you read either of these, or are they on your tbr? #BookClub #SeptemberReads

@MixedUpMoney But I don't think that's possible...?

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

@StarchildBree I actually think that's extremely restrained!

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

This month's book club reads are thrillers - A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons, and How to Kill Your Family. Have you read either of these? 📖👀 #BookClub #BookOfTheMonth

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

Discovered over the last couple of days that there is such thing as being too hot to read 🌡️🥵 thank goodness for a bit of cloud cover, we've good book club books to dive into...

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

The palm trees are swaying, the sun is shining, the crabs are scuttling about the beach - summer is coming to the island library, and we're ready for some new reads 😎📖

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

@two_centscritic Ooh, good answer. We love shouting at terrible parent characters!

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

What's the last book character you really wanted to shout at?

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

@ChatsunamiPod The sheer number of "um"s that I edit out 😂 I didn't know how uncertain I sounded until the podcast!!

[The Island Library Podcast @theislandlibpod]

Have you read Afterlove or Set on You? We're excited to chat about them at book club!

[2 Cents Critic 🍉 @two_centscritic]

It's been a busy couple of months for the island! Now homes and new challenges, leaving tragically little time for new books - but we're hoping to change that soon, and can't wait to talk to you all again!
