This week, as the days get warmer, Paul and Trevor discuss summer reading. They also discuss the two books they assigned each other for the latest assigned reading segment.

This week, Paul and Trevor discuss talk about the unread books collecting dust on their shelves. Which are the dustiest of all? Also, we announce the winner of our Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont giveaway!

This week, Paul and Trevor discuss short books (fiction): what makes them special? Which authors specialize in brevity? How have short books impacted our lives as readers? We each share five or our favorites, as well as a ton of great listener recommendations. And be sure to stick around for a fun giveaway and a preview of an upcoming episode where we each assign the other a short novel. We hope you’ll read along with us!

If you’re a bibliophile, what could be better than a book about books? This week, Trevor and Paul are joined by their good friend Simon Thomas to talk about their favorite novels set in the world of books, authors, libraries and bookstores. We each choose three favorites, but we certainly don’t limit our discussion to those nine choices. From Matilda and Bunnicula to Umberto Eco and Rose Macauley (and many, many more), this is another episode that is sure to bolster your TBR pile!
