Book Squad Goals

Looking for a book club but don't have time to squeeze real-life meetings into your schedule? Join Book Squad Goals, a bi-weekly podcast about—you guessed it—books, plus all the garbage pop culture we consume when we’re not reading (that’s what our “othersodes” are for!). While you’re paying attention, check out our website & blog at booksquadgoals.com, where we have weekly posts about books, pop culture, and probably our pets. We love our pets.

BSG #33: Lower than Doritos and Salsa / Nine Perfect Strangers with Tirzah Price

Are you ready to change your life? Join the #BookSquad and special guest Tirzah Price (BookRiot) at Tranquillum House for our discussion of ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ by Liane Moriarty. We talk about character development, body image, the “wellness” trend, and most importantly, whether Doritos are good. Head to the #BookSquadBlog for more content, including ‘Survivor’ recaps, a roundup of fall poems, new TV and movie reviews, and Emily’s Spooktober series. Speaking of spooky things, read along with us for our October 21 #othersode on Grady Hendrix’s novel ‘My Best Friend’s Exorcism.’ After that, our next #bookpisode will cover Akwaeke Emezi’s debut novel ‘Freshwater.’ Join us for that discussion on November 4. In the meantime, we want to hear from you! Send feedback on anything to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com!
