That Started Out As A BOOK??: Episode 81

The more we see interesting advertisements for the screen, both big and small, the more we realize that, if there is a book, it’s always better. We are going to dive into that very notion. In this episode, Carmen and Rachel are going to talk about movies and series that have caused us to turn to the original material: the book. And remember, Stephen King said, “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different.”

Books We Did Not Finish: Episode 80

In this episode, Carmen and Rachel talk about books that they did not finish. We know that abandoning a book is very difficult for a reader, so this episode is very interesting. And remember, comedian James Colley said, “There’s a joy that comes from putting down a book that isn’t working for yo u. It’s a little expression of freedom and control. It’s like ending a stale relationship.”
