Arts EN ↓ 8 episodes

Bookish Bar Cart is a chaotic, cozy corner for lovers of dark academia, fantasy, and fiction that leaves a mark. Hosted by Kim & Bailey - two friends with a flair for the dramatic - we pair books with drinks and deep dives. Expect flawed characters, plot twists that haunt us, and the kind of endings that make you scream (affectionately). It’s part book club, part therapy session, all literary chaos.

Chapter 6: Hades Needs a Hug 27.05.2026 1:16:39

Bailey and Kim are back and have lots of thoughts on The Things Gods Break. Hades gets a lot of love, Zeus gets called a spaghetti head, and Kronos gets more sympathy than we planned on giving him. Somewhere along the way, we also realize we’d love to know more about other mythologies while repeatedly proving we can’t remember the names of things in the mythology we’re already discussing. Are any...

Chapter 5: A Court of Chaos and Cocktails 20.04.2026 1:19:02

Kim and Bailey swap their planned Spellcaster episode for a more chaotic, cocktail-fueled catch-up on all things Sarah J. Maas - especially the latest buzz from her Call Her Daddy appearance. Think pre-show energy, unfiltered theories, and plenty of speculation as they try to piece together what ACOTAR books 6 and 7 could have in store. Quick heads up: Bailey’s mic cuts out around the 1:08 mark. W...

Chapter 4: Hades Champion 28.03.2026 1:21:17

Bailey and Kim dive headfirst into The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen… and promptly lose the plot (but, like, in a fun way). Expect passionate overanalysis, chaotic tangents, and at least three moments where we’re convinced we’ve cracked the entire book wide open—only to realize we somehow skipped over some very important details. It’s part literary deep dive, part unhinged book club, and 100% pr...

Chapter 3: The Harvard of Witch Schools 18.03.2026 54:25

The Prologue 02.07.2025 1:15:13

Welcome to The Bookish Bar Cart, where we drink, read, and pretend we have a plan. In this inaugural episode, we unravel how this podcast got started (spoiler: impulse and delusion), talk about our reading origins, field live questions we weren’t prepared for, and introduce our first book club pick: One Dark Window. Future episodes may be more structured, but we wouldn’t count on it.
