Episodes

BiblioWrecks 58 - Lost Folklore : Hansel and Grethel by The Quite Contrary Author 05.12.2025

Today we are delving into the spooky world of AI, where we find its most terrible writers trait. Its really cringe. Come with us and enjoy a story that was probably produced by an edgelord with a case of AI psychosis. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks - Bonus: What makes a book bad for us? 02.12.2025

A short discussion where Bugs and BamBam talk about some favorite bad books and the type of criteria they use to pick out their bad books for the show.

BiblioWrecks 57 - Irene Iddesleigh by Amanda McKittrick Ros 21.11.2025

If Jane Austen is just too high octane and progressive for a period piece, then I HAVE THE STORY FOR YOU!!! Enjoy the casual misogyny, man being too busy to love woman, marital imprisonment, being struck from the annals of history and familial connection because you're a woman in the 1800's, I'm excited too. Enjoy!

Bibliotomy 2 - The Naturalist Society by Carrie Vaughn 14.11.2025

SPOILER WARNING: This is a great book and we actually want you to read this one. Today we go over a beautiful queer love story, where the love is poly and the magic is birds. Gush with Bugs and her sister co-host, Lee-Lee as they review this lovely little tale. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 56 - You are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero 07.11.2025

Hey you, yeah you! You like Money don't you? Are you willing to spend every waking second thinking about Money? Are you willing to cut off anyone who doesn't support your unstoppable crusade for it? Are you willing to memorize money's work schedule, break into its apartment, and wallow in its underwear like the little pig that you are? Then I have just the book for you. Enjoy!

Bibliotomy 1 - White Fang by Jack London 24.10.2025

Welcome back to sixth grade, we're reading White Fang. Bam Bam returns to the womb of his first favorite book and remembers it fondly... at least until he remembers the things that didn't age very well and woo boy there sure are a lot of dog fights... and racism... and more animal abuse... why was this my favorite? Anyway, Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 55 - (Part 2) Layers of Attack by Rachel L. Cholla 17.10.2025

Now for the PapaJohns-tastic conclusion! Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 54 - Layers of Attack by Rachel L. Cholla 10.10.2025

Have you ever wondered how the boomer Karens' of the world actually live their lives? How exhausting would it be, to behave so obtusely and make everyone who is forced to interact with them's day worse. Now imagine, that you have to explain to that person how wifi works, while they conjure up increasingly stupid conspiracies to explain things instead of listening. That and more on this episode. En...

BiblioWrecks 53 - The Aquarium by Kenneth Eng 26.09.2025

We're going on a field trip to the aquarium! See the ten headed tuna that begs for death, the dolphins laughing about murder and the ... Leeches ... with ... AIDs?.... I'm beginning to see why no one lets me in their book club. Anyway, join us for this review on, quite possibly, the most nonsensical episode we've done to date. Enjoy!

BiblioUpdate 9-19 19.09.2025

An update on future bonus material

BiblioWrecks 52 - Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton 12.09.2025

Avast bad book lovers, we be plundering the Spanish for their gold, even if we are one dimensional 80s heist clichés, and the plot kind of dies in the middle and the ending is just murder, and if the author probably didn't intend for the book to go out after he died and what may have happened is the people in charge of his estate used the unfinished manuscript as a shameless money grab to cash in...

Patreon Bonus - Bird Box by Josh Malerman 01.09.2025

We got some birds, and we're gonna box 'em. We talk about the irritating writing style and choices made in the book and for once we both agree the movie is better than the book. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 51 - Wreckage by Emily Bleeker 29.08.2025

This episode we're grabbing our volleyballs and going to a tropical, deserted island where we slowly starve for two years and come to peace with never returning home and seeing our family ever again. Join us for this socially tumultuous survival story. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 50 - The Eye of Argon by Jim Theis (Also, Grignyr the Ecordian by Geoff Bottone) 15.08.2025

This legendary tome has been spoken of for generations (like 2 or 3 max), made fun of at dinner parties and on the internet for eons (50 years or so). We go over The Eye of Argon, renowned for its terribleness and dnf'd by most, and we decide, is it really that bad? Also we found a sympathetic author who tried to fix the story. Enjoy!

Patreon Bonus - The Lawnmower Man by Stephen King (also The Lawnmower man not by Stephen King) 04.08.2025

We go over The lawnmower man by Stephen King, and for complicated legal reasons we're going over a completely unrelated movie that new line cinema used Stephen Kings name to promote for. Its a reasonable book and short film, and drug induced nightmare movie about the internet before it was conceived. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 49 - It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover 01.08.2025

Hey you, Yeah you! Bugs read a Colleen Hoover book where the characters are awful and treat each other like trash. Join us for the breakdown of how the author thinks spousal abuse happens, and if anyone asks where you got those bruises, tell them you fell down some stairs. Right? Enjoy.

BiblioWrecks Episode 48 - Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch 18.07.2025

Ever fantasized about going on an adventure on the high seas? Sought the sights of exotic creatures? Looked through poop on the ground for ...pennys? Join us on the emotional death spiral where we nearly die on the open seas and eat our best friend! Enjoy... 

Patreon Bonus - The Christmas Train by David Baldacci 07.07.2025

Merry Christmas in July?! Its a Christmas story that's mourning the loss of Americana, all you damn kids looking at your phones on the train instead of talking to unpleasant strangers that also don't want to talk to you, make a new family with train strangers that are in a conspiracy to trick you into falling in love for Christmas with someone who is clear on wanting nothing to do with you. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks 47 - Moroni Smith in the land of Zarahemla by Thom Duncan 04.07.2025

Do you like Indiana Jones? You do!? How about a guy that isn't Indiana Jones but is Mormon, that's the same right? A whip? not a one. Dashing main character? Only if he's dashing toward the nearest precipice, but he is Mormon, that's enough right? It's the action packed story of a Moroni, a man with the negative charisma of a youth pastor that has never seen sunlight and a name that sounds like it...

BiblioWrecks Episode 46 - Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach 20.06.2025

Its been some weeks since we recorded this episode and I still don't know how to describe it. Do you want a story about the power of ambition? Do you want to learn about spiritualism from a bird? Can time travel be considered a form of flight? find out the answers to some of these questions on this weeks episode. Enjoy?

BiblioWrecks Episode 45 - A Billionaire Dinosaur Forced Me Gay 1, 2, and 3 by Hunter fox 06.06.2025

The title says it all! There's a billionaire T-rex and hes going to force you gay, join us on this description defying ride. Enjoy!

Patreon Bonus - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers/The Sobbin Women by Stephen Vincent Bene't 02.06.2025

Hope you like musicals! We found an American classic from the 1950's, rife with problematic behavior and straight up misogyny, and the surprisingly positive book it was based on from the 1930's, which is also based on the founding Roman Legend. So you're basically getting three in one today, Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks Episode 44 - The 9th colony by Colin Curtis 23.05.2025

Do you like Star Trek? Space battle? Aliens? Too bad. We read the 9th colony and the best it has to offer is barely described ship fights, aliens that are just humans, and the subtlety of your old manager at Mcdonalds. Enjoy!

BiblioWrecks Episode 43 - Satan Was A Lesbian by Fred Haley 09.05.2025

Was everyone in the fiftys doing cocaine? Are all Lesbians violent psychopaths? Why don't people get murdered with ice picks anymore? Will I ever stop using a three question structure in the episode description? No is the answer to one of those questions, you will have to listen to the episode to learn the answer to the rest. Enjoy!

Patreon Bonus - The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien 05.05.2025

Just for funsies, and to torture Bugs, we re-read the Hobbit and watched the movies. We free associate our way through the the childhood classic to the bloated budget trilogy that most everyone collectively shrugs their shoulders at or hates vehemently. Enjoy!
