Hello Lovelies! Welcome back to Bad Bookclub, with your favorite book worm Jade! In this episode, Jade summarizes and explains the literary movement, themes, and more of Fahrenheit 451!In this book, Guy Montag is a "fireman" who burns down houses and books in a futuristic society on the brink of nuclear war. Montag is happy being unhappy until one day he comes home from work and meets a young girl named Clarisse, and realizes his wife has tried to take her own life.  He then steals an illegal book from one of his alarms and finds himself buried in a hot mess of emotion, rebellion, and knowledge. Jade has a great time discussing Bradbury's writing process, the book itself, and Guy Montag, who she describes as a wax figure who starts to come alive and think for himself. She also has a great time discussing seashells, the beat generation, and what this book is actually about, including Ray Bradbury's problematic opinions on censorship.In the analysis, she also discusses why she thinks the classics are still worth reading, even with their offensive histories. Thank you for listening lovelies! Support, Listen, and Watch below!https://linktr.ee/badbookclubTW: Self harm, racism, sexism, murder, war/violence. 

Hello Lovelies! This week, Jade is a bit off her game because she just started her Master's Program in  Creative Writing, Fiction! While she's figuring out her weekly workload, she decided to switch up the episode a bit and give you some recommended reading she's received since starting her program, and also her reading list for her first month of the program! She doesn't give a summary for these, but if you are interested, go ahead and add it to your list of exciting and fun books to read, with an emphasis on writers and authors from other countries including Japan and Nigeria! She also recommends some craft books for aspiring or practicing writers just like herself! Next week will be back to Bad Bookclub's regularly scheduled programming, but if you enjoyed this little recommended reading list, let us know in a review or on Bad Bookclub's instagram and Jade will make more episodes like this one! Thank you for sticking around and listening lovelies, your friendly neighborhood bookworm loves reading for all of you, and she'll keep reading for you through school!

Not Really. It's not diet at all, in fact it is one of the biggest influences in fantasy and fantastical literature and even games! Tolkien's work inspired a fantasy revolution, but the Hobbit was enjoyable and cute, that it felt more like mythology than fantasy and it felt like ti could've been described as diet fantasy, since even non-fantasy lovers would probably find it enjoyable, engaging, interesting, and noteworthy. A Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who wants nothing to do with adventure— thank you very much— is accosted one morning by a wizard named Gandalf, and that very night 13 Dwarves pile  uninvited into his home to recruit him as a burglar on a quest of treasure, revenge, and dragons. They face Trolls, Goblins, dark and dangerous forests, and they find treasures along the way, including swords, gemstones and a magicked ring of invisibility. Jade also discusses the effect of Tolkien's work on literature as well as her own personal thoughts on the world.

Welcome to this week's episode on Slaughterhouse 5! In this episode, Jade tells you all about Slaughterhouse 5 in the order it's written, instead of chronologically. That's right, it's not chronological!In this book, Billy Pilgrim recounts his experience as a prisoner of war in WWII and the bombing of Dresden, as well as his kidnapping by an alien race many years later that taught him how time is not linear and death is not actually the end. All normal stuff. Jade talks about postmodern influences, the stress diathesis model,  black humor, and why this book was so fun for her to analyze. Listen in and hear all about it, she even talks about birds and dogs for some reason. So it goes.

In this episode, we talk about The Martian, by Andy Weir! Fun Acts: The Martian was created when Andy was brainstorming what a manned Martian mission would be like, and what would happen if it went wrong. He wrote The Martian and posted it for free on his website, and it exploded. He posted it on amazon so people could read a Kindle version, and it turned into the sensation we know it to be today. ( Write that story you've been working on, guys!)Jade touches on the pacing, the structure, how Andy builds suspense, and how he creates variation in a book that is mainly logs written on a nearly daily basis for over 500 Martian sols. She also touches on the emotional manipulation he utilizes, the characterization, and how much she loved it.

In this episode, Jade talks about The Princess Bride! This book truly has it all, and Jade got really excited.Who didn't watch this movie when they were kids?

If you were ever a fan of the movie, this summary will fill in all the blanks, including Inigo's backstory, Fezzik's backstory, Zoos of Death, all the extras of one of the greatest- and most self aware- Adventure books ever written. She also mentions Orangutans, narrators and authors, arrogant women, and the greatness of ambiguity and deciding the ending of books yourself. She also forgets that the count has six fingers on his right hand, not his left. Jade’s bad. Unfair isn't it? Subscribe and Review Lovelies! More Bad Bookclub:https://linktr.ee/badbookclub

Just kidding.  Mostly.  Actually, Jade liked it! Or... did she?In this episode, Jade gets far too involved and reactive with fictional characters. She has some strong feelings about this one, and you will hear about all of it.

In this episode, Jade deviated from her schedule to tell you about a short story instead, called Girl, by Jamaica Kincaid. She deviated because of a story involving her rat Sunny, his teeth, and her drive home from Austin, Texas. Jade tells you about it, don't worry. In this episode, Jade wanted to show you a bit more about her close reading and her process of analysis. She dives into this short story that is compromised of only one sentence, and makes her argument that it is a coming of age story that questions societal expectations of young women and demonstrates the deteriorating relationship of a mother and daughter. Or something like that. Jade loved talking to you about this little story and she'll see you next week where we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming. Goodbye Lovelies!

Jade's four biggest fears. Just kidding. She has way more fears than just that. Somehow, Jade was never required to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, an old "classic," and she avoided it because it sounded boring. She was a wrong, there is a LOT that happens in this novel, if only someone had told her to read it more than just because "it's a classic." This is a book about a young independent girl learning bout her town, and a society that unjustly punishes the helpless and kind. She learns about herself and her family, and there is at least one fire and at least one fight. Listen to Jade as she tells you a little about Harper Lee (fun fact: she knew Truman Capote), and everything that happens in this old favorite, To Kill a Mockingbird.Trigger warnings for this novel: sexual assault, physical violence, racism and hate crimes.

Do you wanna know more about classic and popular literature in an entertaining environment? Look no further. Welcome to Bad Bookclub, a comedy podcast where Jade, an English Major and goofball, reads classic and popular books so you don’t have to. Have you ever wanted to read Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen? Maybe you have! Maybe you opened it up and god that first sentence, “its an unimpeachable fact that a gentleman of good breeding or whatever,” is so long and convoluted that you’re already tired? That happens to me constantly. While I have read Pride and Prejudice, that didnt mean I didnt feel a little tired while I was reading it. I think a lot of classics can come across that way. They seem boring and tiring and long. And you know what, some of them ARE (people don’t talk about that enough). But some of them aren’t! Join me each Tuesday to hear about the book of the week! Each episode will include information about the author, a breakdown of the story and plot, and then my own “analysis,” which will NOT be taken too seriously. Welcome to Bad Bookclub, where I am the only member. Let’s get started!Officially Launching Soon!
