Welcome to Behind the Books Podcast: Season 2! We're excited to be starting off a near year and a new season; a big thanks to everyone who supported us last year and we're looking forward to bringing you even better content this year.  Another quick announcement: we're returning to uploading an episode every second Friday instead of every week.  Without further ado, welcome to the first episode of the new season. This week, we look back at 2021 as a reading year and share our Goodreads Year in Books, as well as look forward to the new year. We discuss reading resolutions we have for 2022 and how we hope to achieve that.  Listening on Apple Podcasts? Write a review! Let's be friends! 💌 https://linktr.ee/behindthebooksclub

This week, we found a way to turn a 200 page book into an in-depth fifty minute discussion, looking at the iconic We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. In the non-spoiler section (0:00—27:00) we’ll be discussing the writing style, premise and whether the raving TikTok reviews do this book justice. In the spoiler section (27:00—46:55) we’ll discuss our expectations and opinions on the big twist, character development and different plot points.
