We're a podcast that reads bad books. The worst. Listen to us every other Thursday!
Mick hits on an actually helpful self-help book, while Sue lucks out with a fun light take. That's not important. What IS important is the greatest public-domain idea this side of Disney fairy tales.
It's the crossover event you've been waiting for! Tony of Prolly Shoulda joins us over Zoom to discuss the most catholic of events: Needless self flagellation and punishment.
We're un-guested (though out of order) and back on theme as we wade into two uncontroversial waters: Opinions about Star Wars and Jordan Peterson
In an insane "get", Mick and Susan are joined by podcast extraordinaire Ryan Nanni as they discuss three books, two of which have never been read before!
Susan reads a novelization that's somehow more confusing that the game itself, while Mick believes he can finish the whole book!
Susan tries to interpret the couples' dreams, but her newest self-help book isn't much (self) help! Meanwhile, Mick gets a RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES soft sci-fi, full of wacky misadventures
Sorry about the audio quality for one of our hosts, we're... working on it. WE'RE BACK BAYBEE
A sneak peek an intro into our upcoming season!
Mick has YET ANOTHER gossip focused nothing book, while Susan struggles to keep the title case down and the enthusiasm up. Be back... soon!
Mick gets a collection of Nice Nitting Novellas, while Susan gets a nice crime thriller by a guy who would know. What's happened to this podcast?!
Sue is stuck on a surprisingly honest CIA mission, while Mick takes aim at a similar beast: the self-indulgent Boomer
Sue's trapped in a vortex of names, places, and typos, while Mick shreds a sick ass guitar solo of a book
Sue starts off with a bunch of law-enforcing, no drug-selling, respectable BAD BOYS while Mick tries his best to remember the beats of his book.
Susan has a USA drama novelization that's better than that sounds. Mick has... well something, that's for sure. (Music is Theme for Unlikely Friends by Louie Zong we'll mention it next time) (Murder Mamas is episode 2.43)
Content warnings: - Sexually explicit text: Lots - Physical assault text: Some - Character development: None
Susan's struggling this season- Mick likes yet another book. Well, "likes" is a strong word. Meanwhile, Sue can't wait to tell us this week's urban fantasy!
Susan starts out tame enough but then Mick... Mick gets a head of steam and we all blame Susan's book choice for it, don't we folks? No underlying issues here!
What if YA stood for Yooper Accent?
A short episode featuring a lot of Finn as Mick actually reccomends a book so hard he didn't finish reading it. Susan deals with that classic literature rule: Tragedy + Time = Character Backstory
Susan tackles a living legend; did you know Chuck Norris doesn't write books, he just thinks his words hard at a page? Then Mick tackles an auto-roman a clef as Bill Clinton pretends to write a book.
It's pop star week as Susan tackles a young Miley Cyrus, while Mick has to settle for the first book "by" Justin Bieber
Mick gets the kind of distillation that distilleries would throw out, while Susan struggles to de-quirkify her book enough to understand it. We're all mad at Kaity.
Stick with us through the first minute and a half or so, we figure the audio out... Zombies! Alternate Civil War history! A possessive man and a woman who likes being possessed! Such fresh ideas are what a terrible book exchange is built upon!
We take a look at two historical "Duke Classics"-- One written by a confirmed anti-semite, and the other by Henry Ford!
We're back for a big start to season three as ONE of us reads their whole book but the other reads pretty much the whole idea... care to guess which is which?
Molly and co finally hunt down that wild BBEG at his... rockin' Halloween party? Thanks for all the fun actual-play times!!!
Molly and Gal get an extra set of hands as they take on Halloween spooks and scares!
Molly's back for one last adventure as she teams up with Gal Capone to find out JUST what is planned on this Halloween night! All music that's not obvious is by Louie Zong https://louiezong.bandcamp.com/
It's our season finale as the clock ticks closer and closer to baby! A special guest arrives to discuss Blood Cross, a Bibliovile instant classic, and then somehow another day-in-the-life book, but this time with shifters?
It's a shorter episode- your favorite podcast done fumbled a bit as we get each other two books that... well we're sorry to say this, but they ain't too bad.
Mick gets an oddly plotless book, while Susan covers WW2 from a skewed perspective- one where the aliens are the bad guys!!!!
Mick's stuck between good enough and pretty good, while Susan's stuck at the opposite end. But all in all, there's a significant lack of bile on this one. We'll try to do better next time.
Susan struggles through a YA novel that yet again features eugenics as a heavy theme, while Mick finds out just how unreliable #1 best seller lists can be.
Mick gets a nice little Terry Pratchet-lite, and Sue is stuck on the worst tip: The Christian Romance tip where no one likes each other.
Romance and doom, doom and prepping, what else is a marriage podcast based on?
Susan may have had a long, long, LONG book. But Mick had just an utter failure. An utter failure in every way. Sorry about the length, but did we mention the utter failure?
Sue starts off with a Twilight/Hunger Games/Greek Mythology mix-em-up, so every YA book since 2015. Mick wants to get to the fireworks factory for this cheesy horror!
Susan gets an apt title with a whole lot of dialogue while Mick struggles to not say too many words about a book with too many words, most of them gross.
Susan gets the second book in the Eric Carter series by Stephen Blackmoore, and Mick gets... yet another book in the same series. "Bonkers" is an understatement.
It's an episode for Susan lovers, since Mick's book was so successful at being another solid book that there's nothing to complain about OR get excited about. A perfect nonbook. Instead, enjoy Susan explaining a little more about Eric Carter, necromancer to the stars.
Susan starts with a rip off that's seeming less legal every sentence, while Mick gets dropped in to a gooey LA sky and a fun time pronouncing Aztec words.
A very short episode is a good thing for us, so please be happy that the blood pressure stayed low this time around!
Susan goes deep into her star sign, while Mick revels in revealing a revving romance.
Mick starts off with a competently done mystery, which is more than he can say about previous tries. Susan works as well as she can with the 9th book in a series.
Mick gets stuck with a difficult slog through teendom while Susan's author breaks out the calipers and goes full 19th century racist on the "erotic" misadventure of a lifetime.
Mick remembers the pain of simply existing as a teenager, while Susan finds out a book can right (write?) the ship after a bad start.
Susan is stuck in a fairy tale with no real purpose and too many connections, and Mick gets a book that got rave reviews from the one Hot Topic girl who nobody wanted to sit next to at lunch.
Mick can't help but get a little frustrated with this Resistance Era fan fiction, while Susan is confused as to the purpose or method or point or anything of her book on a cowgirl Snow White.
It's a double cover song hour here at Bibliovile FM, and we're bringing you a double shot of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice on the ones and twos in the last show with a cheap microphone. Special thanks go out to Laura from Switzerland for the request, and I hope all of you ladies out there in radio land are having a great night.
Mick gets yet ANOTHER Christian book from Susan which he thinks says more about her than him, while Susan struggles with the sequel to last episode's terrible romance that forgets what pacing is.
Molly is in some hot water as her less-than-secretive life catches up to her. But maybe some new people she meets and some old enemies can help her out of a tight spot! See if you can get all the law jokes here, why not?
