Keeping TABs

Enemies to Lovers, everyone's favorite trope. Join us today at the Princeton Public Library as we discuss the ups and downs of the latest industry trend.

Have you ever stumbled upon a book too weird to possibly exist? Chances are it was probably self-published. Join us as we explore the highs and lows of self-publishing, a lawless place not unlike the internet. This is Keeping TABS.

Welcome back to Keeping TABS! Today's episode is a bit unscripted so sit down and join us while we air out our book grievances.

Join us today in this episode of TAB as we explore movie adaptations: their role in our culture and why some become iconic while others fade into obscurity.

In this episode we dive into a staple of the reading industry: genre trends. What moves them, why we get tired of them, and the internet's role in all of this.

Welcome back to Keeping TABS! This special Valentines episode is all about the internet's favorite genre: romance. From love triangles to enemies to lovers, join us as we explore the rise in popularity of love stories.

When reading a book, most times it's our eyes doing all the work. This week we'll talk about what happens when we add the sense of sound to our experience. Music is in many aspects of literature, and they're more similar than you might think.

In this episode, we talk about those names on book covers that don't seem quite right: pen names. Where do they come from and why are authors allowed to lie about their names?

In this episode we dive into the most visual factor of books: their covers. Join us as we explore how covers have changed, how they influence readers, and what this means for the future of reading.

A new version of Keeping TABs kicks off with an episode about hooks!
