Bibliobanter

With shockingly little to do with Jane Austen, Adam and Lexi discuss their pride reading List to Adam's lamentations of realizing the book he was looking forward to actually comes out next month. Lexi notes she has ironically read very little in the LGBTQ+ department this month.   Adam gushes about something new this time!  A comic with a built in bespoke soundtrack!  Shout out to Olan Rogers for...

Another May another bibliobanter.   Adam and Lexi talk about new things the library has going on including the Audiowalk that Lexi has plan and Adam puts publicly that we need to add  Light Novels to the collection.   

Adam is positively gushing about so much bookworm.  Lexi is in a slump.  Adam got her to watch Kinn/Porsche.   Also Adam turned 40!  Expect him to slowly get more and more curmudgeonly!

Mostly a check in today.  Adam and Lexi note the irony of hitting a slump during reading month.  Adam prepares the listener for him to be obnoxious about his bookworm fixation in April.  Lexi makes no attempt to rein him in.  

Lexi gushes Withering Heights, both the book and movie. Adam talks about the avatar novels and his foray into Heated Rivalry while comparing it to Kinn/Porsche.  Somehow, he doesn't mention Ascendance of a Bookworm or Kamen Rider.  He'll probably remember in March.   

Lexi says a swear!   Also they talk about books they are reading.   Adam gets into things with Avatar and challenges Lexi to watch the anime Kaugya-Sama Love is War.     Lexi challenges Adam to read and watch Heated Rivalry (jokes on her it was already on his list!)   New Year! Same Hosts!  Hopefully NEW BOOKS AND MEDIA to be discussed here on Bibliobanter!

Adam and Lexi talk about holiday books.  Actually they don't.   Adam gushes Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman, Lexi discusses not finishing books but talks about holiday books that are romances while she would rather be reading horror.  Adam complains about suicide squad (2016).   Lexi celebrates getting her first Christmas tree.   Enjoy the final podcast of the year and see you all again 2026!

It's that time!  Another episode of Bibliobanter!   Lexi and Adam continue to agree that Victor Frankenstein was a scumbag.  Lexi gives her review of the new movie, and Adam to the shock of absolutely no one here discusses bookworm and Kamen Rider again because he has an absolutely one (well ok two) track mind.   They also gush about how cute the very cozy series Hex Vet by Sam Davies is.  It is v...

It's Spookums Month.    As such Adam and Lexi decided to do a review of one of the most famous literary classics of the season of spookiness, Frankenstein.    With special guests, the voices in the other room our mics got too sensitive and picked up briefly!  There isn't much else to say other than give the classic a read and tell us how you feel about that scumbag Victor Frankenstein.   

A little late on the upload, but Adam and Lexi talk about what they were reading in the lead to September.  Adam geeks about the new Kamen Rider.  Lexi suggests we start reading spooky stuff.  She recommended Hidden Valley Road which shockingly DOESN'T deal with Ranch Dressing.   Why are you still reading this?   Listen to them talk about their stuff.  Also read Frankenstein since we will be talki...

Adam and Lexi catch up, having been unable to record in July.  Adam makes so many mistakes, see if you can catch them all!  (no prizes for catching them all, not even a certificate).  They go over what they have been reading and watching and it's just in general chill vibes.  

Adam did it, he got Lexi bookworm pilled!   They gush about that first then Lexi begins the process of talking about the various books she recommends for pride.  Lexi discusses sobbing over Glee, while Adam recommends fun horror Otherside Picnic.   Both of them adore Chuck Tingle.  And it's true, there is no hetero explanation for Golden Kamuy.   Happy Pride everyone.  

Lexi just returned from Boston and tells about her trip and experience there with the library and literature.  Adam gushes about bookworm some more like he thinks it's a good series or something.  They both freak out about weird sounds coming from the speakers. Neither admits the library is haunted.

Adam and Lexi discuss going through their backlog of materials as a form of spring cleaning.   They wax about various forms of fantasy series and Lexi hammers home how much Adam will like The Dresden Files.   (Tune in next time to get his first quick review during Lexi's traveling librarian piece).

Adam and Lexi talk about things they reread as means of getting out of their reading slumps.  The haddock still looms for Adam's  recommendation while Lexi geeks out about rereading Twilight.  

Adam and Lexi discuss reading slumps.  Adam recommends to folks to reread some things people liked, while recommending for adults a comic series he read in college that is still fun while informing in the pod and in here DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS READ IT.   He would like to let anyone know that if they come in saying they let their kid read the comic and now blame him that he will smack them with a had...

Adam and Lexi kick in the new year sharing some goals, some things to look forward to, and only get mildly sidetracked on things along the way.   Join in on starting the year 2025 with your favorite long winded librarians.

The year is ending and Adam and Lexi discuss their top reads of 2024.  Adam is still horribly bookworm pilled.  Lexi is meanwhile making us all look bad with 100 books in her have been read pile.  Listen in on our discussion of 2024, and we will see you again in January of 2025.

Today Adam and Lexi discuss a bunch of reading material they found very cozy.   Adam gushes a LOT over Ascendance of a Bookworm and Lexi discusses books about murder and treason with a hint of Christmas spirit.      Adam's Suggestions: Ascendance of a Bookworm is by Miya Kazuki and can be read on hoopla digital. Spice and Wolf is by Isuna Hasekura Apothecary Diaries is by Natsu Hyuuga   Lexi's Sug...

It's been a year since Adam and Lexi started off Bibliobanter.   We figured it was time to retread some ground and come up with some spooky recommendations for the season. Adam nearly says Hell, then doubles down, because it's a place.  

Up at MLA Adam interviews several librarians and library workers on the topic of Makerspaces and libraries.  The librarians and library staff in question are Rei over at Madison Heights,  Matt over at Rochester Hills, Michael over at Northville, And Krista over at Sterling Heights.   All their libraries are cool and they all have cool Makerspaces.   Lexi was enjoying a birthday surprise from her p...

Lexi takes the lead today with a tale of her traveling to various national parks and what type of reading she got into there.   Some discussion of bear crime (though Adam remains convinced it was the raccoons framing the bears) and stories of the parks and people who helped preserve them provide cozy reading to go with cozy hiking trips. 

Adam and Lexi dive into the wide ranging field of Fan Fiction.  They get into the history and discuss some famous pieces and even talk about various ships.   For those not in the know a Ship is a pairing of characters.   It's short for relationship.  And all ships fall flat of the truest ship, Shreklock.     

Today Adam and Lexi talk about reruns; media that is great when viewed again.   Adam's voice is back and he seems very excited to subject you all to this.  Lexi makes no attempt to stop him.   Also Adam mentions rewatching The Venture Brothers.  That won't be on Netflix until August 16th.   

Lexi leads as Adam trudges along with his lost vocal chords (THE SACRIFICES HE MAKES FOR YOU) to end Pride month with some recommendations of books, and a bit of history of pride in libraries.  For those looking to read Kill Six Billion Demons it can be found here.   https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/kill-six-billion-demons-chapter-1/ Resources Lexi mentions: Unite Against Book Bans LGBTQIA+...
