Welcome to the bonus episode of the month. This month Joe tells Becky about a book that he read for one of his book clubs. It was a book that he had little faith in, but ended up being thankful that Becky insisted he give it a try and read it. So buckle up, because this rambling talk is going to be all over the place; with lots of ups and downs and craziness.

Next month's book pick is Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (Not to be confused with Terry Pratchett's novel by the same name). So make sure you subscribe and keep your eyes open for the 5th of February for that episode drop.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

It is the start of a new year! And what better way than to make a resolution to listen to this podcast. This month Alex picked the retelling of The Odyssey from one of his favorite authors. The brothers read The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. It is through the eyes of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, and her long grueling wait for a wandering husband. Told in a quick and snappy way that is a pure pleasure to read.

For the February pick, Joe changed it up a little bit. He picked the Russian urban-fantasy novel Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko. Don't get this confused with last years pick of the same title by Sir Terry Pratchett. Two very different stories.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.

In this very special bonus episode, Becky has come back to discuss several fan theories and controversies (no, not the main one about the author being a TURF). Joe puts his two cents in every once in a while to make sure he sounds like a doofus too.

In the discussions the two of them cover topics such as what houses they believe they would have been put in; their thoughts on which characters should have hooked up instead of who actually did; and that the series is actually two series hobbled together by the Goblet of Fire; among other thoughts on their recent readings of the books.

It's December. Christmas is in the air. So, Joe and Alex thought it would be the perfect gift to for all of you to read and share our thoughts on a book so filled with blood and gore that it would make the Hogfather blush. And no we aren't reading The Hogfather.

For the December pick Joe had us read The Tain as translated by Ciaran Carson. This book is the longest epic from the Ulster Cycle following Cu Cullainn and the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Listen as both brothers stumbling to pronounce difficult words in Irish Gaelic, complain about how some of the most gruesome battle scenes ever written could be so boring and banal.

Next month, Alex has picked another epic myth to follow, but in a retelling done by one of the greatest writers of our time. We will be reading The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. We hope you join us there.

Welcome to Bookworms. In this very special bonus episode, Becky joins Joe to host an author interview. Today Alex Kendall is in the hot as he is about to republish his novel The Destroyer. New and improved; with hopefully all the grammatical errors removed. Listen in to discover his writing process and the passions that he is now pursuing.

With it being the holiday shopping season let us remind our listeners to support your local authors. With Alex's two (2) books being available, he would greatly appreciate it if you bought a copy of his stories. And maybe buy some more as gifts to your family and friends. The link to them is down below.

Welcome one and all. This month we have a wild adventure story to bring to you. Alex chose the forgotten classic, The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. A story of several old wizards fighting an old evil across a strange land oddly similar to our world, but at the same time oddly different.

Next month Joe picked a mythical tale of blood and gore. Join the brothers in reading the classic Irish story of Cu Chulainn in The Tain as translated by Ciaran Carson.

Welcome to Bookworms. Today Alex and Joe have a very special guest to talk about a hilarious yet worrying book. Haley, resident of Grafton, has joined the brothers to talk about A Libertarian Walks into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. In this discussion, the three try to stop laughing long enough to discuss what it really is like to live in the small New Hampshire town since the Free-Staters have left their mark.

Welcome to Bookworms! This month the brothers discuss Joe's first pick of the season. The book that they discussed was Alice by Christina Henry. Alex thought it was just okay, but Joe worked his voodoo and talked Alex into thinking it was an alright book after all. An increase in a whole half star in Alex's rating.

If you want to hear how Joe did that, then please give it a listen. We promise that you won't be disappointed. Just a warning, this book is graphically violent and both brothers discuss some unsavory topics. So if you have anyone under age with you, probably best to put the earbuds in.

Next month Alex picked another oldie but goodie. And not to be outdone in the fantasy realm either. For the month of November, we will be reading The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. So pull up your boot straps and get ready for an adventure with two crotchety old men.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.
