Episode 18: I Don’t Know if I Love a Mad Wife, but I Love a Mad Woman

Welcome back to I Reckon I’ll Read It, a podcast where two Okie gals talk books, share recs, and don’t hold back on their mighty big opinions. Join Beccah and Summer in some good-old-fashioned book talk.  This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. From there, we share the weirdest places we’ve ever read a book, and Beccah makes the shocking discovery that she has accidentally been reading a thriller… after fully committing to the book without reading the blurb. We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment for National Poetry Month, sharing a list of poets and poems for anyone looking to finally dip their toes into poetry.   Books We Mentioned:  Spur of the Moment Question: The weirdest place you’ve ever read a book? 4:40- Remarkably Bright Creatures, Shelby Van Pelt 8:50- Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier 10:45- Mockingjay, Suzanne Collins   Reading Round Up: 12:30- With Her Own Hands, Nicole Nehrig 20:02- This Story Might Save Your Life, Tiffany Crum 20:50- Listen for the Lie, Any Tintera 29:10- The Mad Wife, Meagan Church 32:45- The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath 40:15- So Far Gone, Jess Walter 43:10- Lost Lambs, Madeline Cash 43:30- Run For the Hills, Kevin Wilson 53:00- A Bit Much, Lyndsay Rush 59:30- How About Now: Poems, Kate Baer   Spotlight Segment- National Poetry Month: 1:02:00- Our favorite poets Summer- Contemporary Lyndsay Rush Button Poetry Josie Balka Ada Limon Amanda Gorman Beccah- Classic John Keats, “Bright Star” Shakespeare, “Sonnet 18” Emily Dickinson William Blake Rumi Poe Langston Hughes Sylvia Plath Rupi Kaur   Taylor Swift Noah Kahan Jewel Shel Silverstein Entry Point Poets: Mary Oliver Billy Collins Rupi Kaur Lyndsay Rush Accessible but Impactful: Langston Hughes Maya Angelou Ada Limon If You’re Feeling Brave, try these classics: Emily Dickinson Robert Frost William Blake Poe
