Book or Treat!

Welcome to episode 12 of Book or Treat! where I will talk about a book that actually I don't think I talk about enough, Revenge by Yoko Ogawa. Short and sweet summary for this episode, if you wanna know more, listen to the podcast, that's why its a podcast and not a blog.

Recorded in Summer 2025 in my hot af [redacted name] hometown, right before KPop Demon Hunters became exceedingly popular and I could claim being a hipster about things like that, there was a conversation that has aged like a fine wine. This Book or Treat episode is proud to be a lovely treat: From the church of storytelling, two embodiments of varying levels of chaos are let out of their enclosur...

In episode 10 of this book review podcast, we take a look at We Do What We Do In The Dark by Michelle Hart. The last of the episodes recorded during an era of me being sick (I probably just had a really bad cold but it was long enough ago now that I don't actually remember what sickness it was), I once again ask my friends who listen to this to enjoy whatever I said about this and just trust t...

This episode reviews Legendborn by Tracy Deonn. Another book I reviewed while I was sick and I then forgot I recorded it at all, friends, if you listen, I hope you are entertained because enough time has passed that I don't remember anything I said in this. Another one where I hope I said good things though, 'cause when I think about this book I have very fond thoughts.

Episode 8 of this very sporadically run podcast brings to you a review of Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall! I recorded this episode after my podcast summer break a few (or more than few) months ago when I was sick and then totally forgot about it. Now that I am sick again many months later, I remembered this recording existed and am now uploading it. I have 0 memories of recording this nor will I re-...

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mothar and Max Gladstone is our book for Episode 7 of the Book or Treat! Pod! Tune in to see me forget to do my spooky sound but no music intro and not include it (you can pretend it in your head if you read this) and also I ramble on for way to many minutes about my dying laptop and trying to end the episode, but we also talk about how much this novell...

If only like the main character in this book we are discussing today, my laptop's dying moments are actually a phoenix rising from the ashes and I'm going to wake up tomorrow with my laptop having transitioned into it's true from that is also like still working. Recorded and scheduled for upload during my laptop's dying crisis era, in this gay book review episode for June, we're gonna gab about A...

I survived until Episode 5, unfortunately, my 8 year old laptop did not. Truly a horror story for the ages, but fits perfectly with the themes of the book we are going to discuss today, which for June's lovely Pride month, is a Sapphic Horror Graphic Novel (Which is also what my life is now that I have to go through the struggle of acquiring a new laptop). Anyways, amidst me still refusing to get...

Straight (or not so straight in my case xd) from the Dept. of Speculation, episode four of the Book or Treat! Podcast! If you can't tell from my terrible attempt at humor, in this episode, I review Dept. of Speculation by Jenny Offill. Enjoy!

Book or Treat! Podcast has just reached three episodes! I am still my usual no music no editing self, but if you enjoy my shenanigans and thoughts and blabbering on about books, then this podcast is still for you :) In this episode I review Long Shadow by Olivia Atwater. I hope you enjoy, and if you don't, keep it to yourself I guess please.

Surprise! Available now, the second episode of the Book or Treat! Podcast! So like editing is STILL not a thing around here right now (this time I didn't attempt any at all), but enjoy the equivalent of me sending a nice long voice note about a book to my friends but now publicly available for anyone to listen in to! In this episode, please find my review of Ten Thousand Stitches by Olivia Atw...

Welcome to the first episode of the Book or Treat! Podcast! So like editing is not a thing around here right now (I did listen to this 3+ times trying to edit and like removed a few long silences but that's all I have to give to this aspect of production mentally right now), but enjoy the equivalent of me sending a nice long voice note about a book to my friends but now publicly available for anyo...
