Bookrageous Episode 32: 2011 Faves, 2012 Preview
2012 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Schinsky
New & improved Bookrageous logo!
Everybody loves a good end-of year list, and we at the Bookrageous Podcast are no different. Since we were already a couple weeks into the new year by the time we recorded the show, we discussed our favorites of 2011 threw in some 2012 “can’t waits” for good measure.

Talking ZONE ONE with Colson Whitehead
2012 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Schinsky
If you’d told me a year ago that not only would I be reading a zombie novel, I would be loving it, co-hosting a book club podcast about it, AND interviewing the author, I don’t think I’d have believed you. But such is the beauty of collaborative projects that breed comfort-zone-expanding recommendations, and I couldn’t be happier. Zone One was awesome; Josh, Jenn, and I had a fun conversation about it; and Colson Whitehead was a terrific guest.

Talking Nonfiction with Mary Roach
2011 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Schinsky
I can’t believe I haven’t posted this! After gushing about Mary Roach’s books for years IRL and for more than a year on the Bookrageous podcast, I got to talk to her! I think Josh, Jenn, and I did a pretty decent job suppressing our OMGWE’RETALKINGTOMARYROACH fangirl/fanboy urges, and the conversation was super fun and informative and exciting for the 12-year-old boys that live inside us. Enjoy, subscribe, and keep an eye out for the Zone One Book Club episode, coming soon.
A Long Conversation about Short Stories [Bookrageous Episode 29]
2011 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Schinsky
In this extra-long and super-recommendation-filled episode, Josh, Jenn, and I welcome Adam Ross, our first author guest, to the show. It seems fitting that the winner of last year’s Book We Talked About the Most Award (henceforth referred to as the Adam Ross Award) should be our first author guest, and Adam did not disappoint. We discussed our favorite short story collections, the craft of writing short fiction, and, yes, Adam’s own collection Ladies and Gentlemen (which I loved and was just named to Kirkus’s Best of 2011 list).

Because Your To-Be-Read Pile Isn’t Already Toppling…
2011 at 5am Posted by Rebecca Schinsky
…Team Bookrageous recorded an episode all about the books we picked up at fall trade shows and can’t wait to read. The good news: there are a ton of them! The even better news: most of them aren’t out until Spring 2012, so you have some time to get caught up.
Please listen, enjoy, subscribe, and let us know what you’d like to hear about in the future. Oh, and order your copy of Zone One from WORD to save 10% (put Bookrageous in the comments of your order) and be all set for the first Bookrageous Book Club.
