A discussion of each half of a book
BookShook
BookShook is a first impressions literature podcast. I'll read the first half of a book together and I'll share my thoughts (and yours hopefully) on the first half - perhaps make a few predictions about what may happen. And in the following podcast, I'll release a discussion of the second half and we’ll decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend. You don’t have to read the book. you can listen to it, or just follow along since I’ll be summarising what happens - but be aware - there may be spoilers. Hosted on Acast. See
