Pick a Mushroom, Pack a Goat: Quizzes, Chaos & Favorite Tropes

from Can I Bring My Book · host canibringmybookclub

Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and sometimes unhinged fantasy quizzes. This week, Amanda and Kat dive into a chaotic “Pack Your Bag” fantasy quiz—and discover that Amanda is a panicky pixie packing an anxious teddy bear and a goat named Bitey. Naturally. The episode spirals delightfully from there with a round of bookish “Would You Rather” (dog-eared pages or spoilers, anyone?) and a debate over naming pets—or children—after fictional characters. They also reveal their trope obsessions of the week: Dystopian societies (The Last Bookstore on Earth, 1984) Amateur sleuths (Nancy Drew, Thursday Murder Club, and more) And Amanda’s hot take? Everyone should read Finnegans Wake—but Kat’s firmly in the “absolutely not” camp. Mentioned in the episode: The Last Bookstore on Earth by Andrew T. Stone 1984 by George Orwell A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman Finnegans Wake by James Joyce Tune in for the absurd, the cozy, and the unfiltered chaos that is Can I Bring My Book. 📣 Want to join our book club?
