Broken Spines at the End of the World

EP 47: The long lost June reading wrap-up

What happens when you get swamped with work? Well, you forget that you were editing a podcast episode.

Here's the reading wrap-up we recorded after Sarah went back to Switzerland.

The good news is that we already recorded an end-of-summer episode as well! So you won't have to wait long for the next reading update... that is, if I don't forget that I'm supposed to finish that one too...

Hi **awkward little wave** So, we've been away and now we're back. We definitely won't be uploading on a weekly basis but here's a super long episode where we talk about where we've been, what we've read while we were gone and what books we're taking with us on our vacation. We also take a look at our pile of shame progress and tell you what we're currently reading. We will be recording our next episode in August when we're both home from our travels. Thank you for sticking around. Love Ellen & Sarah

Ep. 28: Pile of Shame – Mini TBR

Woops! Long time no hear. It’s been a bit intense these past couple of weeks. Sarah came to Belgium as you may have seen on our Insta. Then work got crazy and life just got away from us for a little bit. But we’re back now with a sweet and short episode where we talk about some books we really want to finish in the next two months. They’re books we’ve been in the middle of for some time. Time to get some reading done! You can subscribe to our podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Books mentioned in this episode: Shuggie Bain – Douglas Stuart Last Night at the Telegraph Club – Malinda Lo To be taught, if fortunate – Becky Chambers Rewild Yourself – Simon Barnes Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell – Susanna Clarke
