Things are getting wild in the Top Shelf Librarians recording studio, gang. Heather's got 99 problems, and Bluetooth's one. Brittany's chock-a-block full of advice, from recommended social media (hint: it's tumblr) to the best foods to eat when you know you're just gonna barf it back up in fifteen minutes. We say goodbye to the Goodreads Challenge, discuss our 2022 faves, and Heather vows to Betty Crocker This Shit in the Cooking Corner Formerly Known as Matt's. By now you know that things usually get weird on the show, but in 2023, we're choosing violence. Buckle up.

We are now into the third episode of the Joys of Reading series - and in this episode, we take it up a notch - Let's enter the world of the avid reader AKA the bookworm! Unless you are trying to describe piranhas in the Amazon, growing up we have learnt to associate a word for such people - voracious! But seriously, what do they read? How do they find the right books? And what are their habits? To tell us more, we have with us a dear friend Krishnamoorthy V, or Krish who is someone we like to call 'seasoned' when it comes to reading, so much so that he reads enough books every year to beat every Goodreads Challenge. No, but seriously, how does one manage to read 60 books a year?!

My secret weapon to reading more books is a friendly annual Goodreads competition with my childhood friend Todd Greer. Todd is joining the podcast today to share about motivating each other to read more books. We have discovered how we read is very different from one another, but we usually end up almost at the same amount of books every year. We will dive into that more and learn about a few books I haven't gotten to read yet this year. Books Mentioned in Today's EpisodeJoin the Patreon Community For the Bonus ContentProject Hail Mary by Andy WeirPrice of Time by Tim TignerBilly Summers by Stephen KingEffortless by Greg McKeownThe Other Wes Moore by Wes MooreWe Hope for Better Things by Erin Bartels Also Mentioned in Today's EpisodeTodd Greer on GoodreadsEnneagramStrengthsfinder 2.0 by Tom RathGoodreadsSleep headphonesScribdKindleRyan HollidayRobert GreenWill WheatonThe Martian by Andy WeirAndy Wier Interview on MomAdvice11/22/63 by Stephen KingIt by Stephen KingLaura TremaineEssentialism by Greg McKeownMihaly CsikszentmihalyiGreenlights by Matthew McConaugheyPower of Ritual by Casper her KuileThe One by John MarrsLucky Boy by Shanthi SekaranBryce CourtenayJoin the Patreon Community For the Bonus Content

Happy New Year! Happy 2020! We realise we’re well into the year by now, but we thought we’d share a bit of a round up of 2019 and also take a look at 2020. We’re going to be sharing our 2020 Goodreads Challenge, five books we vow to read this year, and five books we vow to re-read. Keep listening to find out which stories we’ve added to our lists.

We're celebrating the little guys (well, gals, tbh) this episode as we discuss your favorite indie authors. Before that, we talk some book news. People keep coming for libraries, and this time it was in the dumbest way possible. Rare Bird is being sued by Natasha Tynes for $13 MILLION and their lawyer found time in his day to send this response. And finally, The Atlantic came for the Goodreads Challenge. Thanks to everyone who replied to our #BCLChat. Check out the authors and books we discussed below: Alexandra Warren Baggage Claim: “I don’t need to know your name. I know your spirit. I’m more concerned with that.” Ryan and Will: Two strangers with instant chemistry on an adventure fueled by a fiery connection neither can contain. But not everything is as it seems. Or is it? Nicole Falls A Natural Transition: Nyema Landry is more interested in her flourishing career as a DJ than settling down. Langston Goode is a man on the rise with his eyes on the prize, ready to finally lay his claim on Nyema’s heart. Since their first meeting, Nyema and Langston had been at odds, and they were perfectly fine with that arrangement ... until the undeniable current of desire that crackled between them was no longer avoidable. Jacinta Howard Happiness in Jersey: (First book in her Prototype series) The only thing in Jersey Kincaid’s world that she has time for are keeping her grades up so that she doesn’t lose her scholarship to South Texas University, playing the bass in her band, The Prototype, and satisfying her coffee addiction. Oh, and the occasional random hook-up she indulges in to pass the time. When Jersey meets Isaiah “Zay” Broussard with his soulful gray eyes, quick wit and easy charm, she’s determined to remain aloof. She doesn't have time to get sidetracked by fleeting fantasies, even if she does feel an unexplainable connection to Zay she’s never experienced before. Love Belvin The Rhythm of Blues: (First book in her Love in Rhythm & Blues series) Ragee is a successful R&B singer, music composer, and actor who shot to fame and celebrity at rocketing speed. But he has an unshakable stigma attached to his stardom that won’t seem to go away. Wynter Blue thought she was taking control of her world the day she up and quit her job. Little did she know, the day she walked out of her job was the very one she’d run into his shroud of smoke. Wynter questions if she can handle Ragee’s darkness while trying to bring him into the light of truth. Join us in our next episode when we read ... *sigh* ... The Wedding Date, by Jasmine Guillory. We'll be joined by our friends over at Mocha Girls Read, so be sure to read up and listen in!

What comes in the box: Stinknase (Nasenspray), Laufen, Viennetta Eis, Schokoladenversteck im Auto, Oma im Seniorenheim, Familienbesuche, wir sind nicht mehr die Jüngsten, welche werden unsere Evergreens sein, auf nach Wien, Goodreads Challenge, Social Media, Verbrauchereinheit, Altstadtlauf, Koffein, Süßigkeit des Monats: Gries und der unabsichtlich vergessene, wichtige Rest. Aus einem Anflug von Übermut und Unüberlegtheit begannen unsere alten Folgen mit einer hohen neuntausender Nummer und wurden fortan rückwärts gezählt. Schlau, nicht wahr. Wir ändern das nun und beginnen mit dieser ersten Folge des Jahres 2019 von vorn mit der Ziffer Eins. Yeah!

Do you ever feel like you're in a reading slump? It's the sort of terrible feeling where you want to read books but it feels like homework or doing chores. It sucks and we suspect it's something a lot of people in the YA community feel from time to time -- we know we do! So what causes reader burnout and how do we combat it? We dive into that discussion in this month's episode of Bookmarked. We've also got some big news developments to cover, including some not-so-great Fantastic Beasts 3 news and some exciting updates in the world of book-to-film adaptations! Want to join the Bookstacked Team? We’re looking for new voices to contribute to our website. We have openings in news, feature articles and book reviews. Click here for more details. In this episode... Angie Thomas's new book. On the Come Up, is out! Michael's reading it and shares his thoughts. We discuss Reading/Book burnout in this episode and how we've all felt it. Does Goodreads actually make it worse? Michael has a Goodreads Challenge hack that might help with reader burnout. Is part of the problem that YA repeats itself too much? So, what's the solution to book burnout? Michael gives us his quick take on 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'. Production on Fantastic Beasts 3 has been delayed. Is this a troubling sign for Potterheads? Netflix bought Grishaverse... We're getting new books from Marie Lu and Veronica Roth! YallWest and BookExpo are coming up and we are SO EXCITED.

Happy New Year! Our first episode of 2019 is a chatty one as we share our 2019 reading and writing resolutions, as well as our goals for the podcast. We also get into the increasing bougieness of the Oscars, our love-hate relationship with the Goodreads Challenge and a number of Instascams (including Fyre Festival). Listen in and share your reading resolutions with us at @blackchicklit. February is Romance month, and this year, we’re finally reading Beverly Jenkins, a.k.a. the Slayer of Words herself. Listen in next month when we discuss her 2002 book A Chance at Love. (While Indigo is the title mentioned in the episode, we had to do a last-minute switcheroo after the recording. You should still definitely read Indigo. And then tweet Dani about it. She’s up for any and all romance novel talk.) Shout out to everyone who took part in our poll or responded to our resolution tweets. Do you have a suggestion for a future #BCLChat? Email us at contact@blackchicklit.com. And don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to Black Chick Lit on iTunes.

Welcome to our last episode in season one of Rants and Reviews. In this episode we’re taking a look at the year just past, and have a chat about how we did on our Goodreads Challenge, which were our favourite books of the year, and which ones we didn’t really enjoy. We also start our own mini book club, and pick a book for the other person to read while we take a break.  At the end of this, the first season, we would love your feedback! If you have a minute or two we would love it if you could fill out a short survey and let us know what you liked, what you didn't really like, and what you'd like to see/hear in Season 2! Thank you in advance!
