Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of September’s book, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin published in 2022 (from Chapter 5 'Pivots' on page 211 if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I’ve never read, split it in two and discuss each half in consecutive podcasts. I’ll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.) Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at youtube.com/@BookShook or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. Going forward with the podcast, I’d like to read books that you suggest. So if you have one, let me know and I’ll do a podcast on it. Send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. So the next podcast will be about a book you suggest. Can't wait to hear your suggestions.

Content Warning: There are adult themes throughout the first half: suicide, violence, sexism and misogyny. I don't use any foul language in this podcast. Please check the content of the novel before proceeding.
