We're Booked Podcast Kaitlin Obien-Thompson & Sophia Shedd Come and hang with us- your friendly neighborhood book besties, Kaitlin & Sophia. As young adults living in NYC, we get through the days by escaping through stories. We love books and believe in the power of storytelling.
This podcast is to ignite a desire for readers and non-readers. We hope that you pick up a book that you enjoy, and find your love for reading either for the first time, or yet again! We are so excited to hang out with you!
Also read in the company of witches last year for fall. It was cute and didn’t hate reading it but it’s not my favorite so it’s not one that I recommend
Fun! Currently reading the things we leave unfinished by Rebecca yarrows. I’m in a fantasy book slump so I’ve been reading romance and some suspense books.
Omg I read the ex hex series it was a cutesy little romance. Definitely agree. Also loved the divergent series and highly recommend you read it! Now I want to do a reread 😅
I like to go back and forth with the fun, entertaining books and then more thought provoking or uncomfortable / challenging books. The latter is less “entertaining” and more of an engaging experiencing, where I’m learning about something or really being thrown into a complex story. I definitely have to alternate them though bc it gets too heavy or too anxiety inducing lol. I specifically like really raw horror esque lit fic so I have to pace myself with it
I usually just use Libby and my local library’s app to read books. I try to only buy if it’s a book or series that I know I loved and will cherish! Or if I got a gift card/special occasion cash and then I’ll buy a physical book 😅
for me, a reading slump means i'm not able to read more than a few pages at a time. and it happens whenever i feel obligated to read a book, like if i'm reading with a friend or for a class or whatever. i don't know if its just like an anxiety response or what but i just can't get into the books. and not being able to read the book i feel like i'm supposed to makes me feel guilty for picking up another book, so i just get no reading done at all.
I struggle with PDA heavy autism and I feel this sooooo much. Anytime I “have” to do something, even if it’s something I love I just can’t make myself do it. I used to sell tarot readings and I had to stop bc I was just so miserable anytime I owed someone one versus just doing them for free when I felt like it
I was in a reading slump and decided to read the summer I turned pretty idk if I should read the next one because I have all of the books 😭what should I dooo because I also want to read the rule book !
Libby is my best friend. Apart from not having a big budget for books, I also don't have a big enough home to hoard them. Kindle + Libby is the only way I was able to get back into reading as an adult.
The only Emily Henry book I read was happy place and I just HATED the miscommunication trope. It gave me the ick. But I hear so many good things about her books that I think I need to dive back in and try again
Much appreciation for making this video on fantasy books. What happened to Wattpad? I’m impressed, I liked this video and you've got yourself a new subscriber!
Hugs from mom! Tell Kaitlyn that I grew up on Borders bookstore! I loved it. It was all the rage in the 80’s in the town I grew up in. My dad would go there all the time, just sit and read a book! I remember her mentioning Borders in one of the podcasts.
