Talk Booky's Things That Go Bump in the Night: Episode Two
Halfway through spooky month, and we have some podcast plot-twists to reveal. Maybe that's a bit too dramatic. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we check in on our reading progress for the month and give some strong opinions on literary topics. We start with some news on B&N's nominees and some gift...

Talk Booky's Things That Go Bump in the Night: Episode One
We are back! And we will start with an apology. We, Felicia and Aaron, pride ourselves on delivering our regular tri-monthly episodes on time, and we failed. Normally, this would be released on the first, setting up a TBR and theme for the month for our fans to follow along with, but life got in...
-
Talk Booky and the Fellowship of the Books: Episode Three
The Fellowship eventually reached Mount Doom, and so did we. It felt like Mount Doom with how little we read, but it was still entertaining - just like Frodo giving up the ring, sort of. Join us! We start the episode with news of bookish fun facts and Libby recommendations, move to our TBR…

Talk Booky and the Fellowship of the Books: Episode Two
We are back - in more ways than one! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we return for the month of groups/teams/friends/companions/you get it. Luckily, the dry streak is mostly over, so you could say the power of friendship has overcome our reading slumps. In this episode, we cover some news about…

Talk Booky and the Fellowship of Books: Episode One
There's nothing better than having a big group of friends. People who can support you, call you out on your B.S., and...maybe make fun of you in a fun and silly way that won't lead to long-lasting trauma in any way whatsoever. You know...the type of jokes that won't keep you up at night, even...
-
Picturebooky: Episode Three
The back-to-school season hit hard this year, but we are still here! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we power through the stress with a wrap-up episode for a month of books with graphics. We open with some polarizing news about political destruction of books and the Hugo awards, move on to our...
-
Picturebooky: Episode Two
A day late but as entertaining as ever! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we check in on our first two weeks of books full of drawings, diagrams, sketches, photographs, and all sorts of visuals. Truthfully, it's mostly a month of graphic novels and comic books so far, but hey, that's still a book…
more -
Talk Booky Airs Out Romantasy
Talk Booky is back with more complaints! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we air out a grievance about the genre categorization of Romantasy. We have plenty of opinions that we let fly from the very opening. It's a breezy, fun, and slightly upsetting topic to cover in ten minutes, but we hope you...
-
Picturebooky: Episode One
Due to recent events, Talk Booky to Me has made the necessary decision to stop reading and turn into a photography podcast. Sort of. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we introduce the monthly theme of pictures/photographs/images to accommodate our growing fascination with comics and graphic novels....
-
Talk Booky Asks "Is Water Wet?": Episode Three
We failed. Not at being podcasters. We are great at that. We failed to discover if water is actually wet. Not because we did actual research. We didn't. We mostly failed because we got distracted by Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. Anyway, join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we finish July with…

Talk Booky's 100th Episode: Quiz Two
Talk Booky to Me has officially crossed the centennial, and this episode marks the conclusion of our celebrations. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we hold a final literary quiz. This time, Aaron gets his revenge (well, he tried) by quizzing Felicia on the literary fun facts she should know. Feel...
-
Talk Booky Asks "Is Water Wet?": Episode Two
We, Felicia and Aaron, set out this month to determine if water is actually wet. So far...we have no idea. Actually, we might be farther from an answer than before because we took a major detour to determine if we still love comic books. Join us in this very odd episode where we do not dedicate...
-
Talk Booky's 100th Episode: Quiz One
Talk Booky is turning 100! Sort of. We, Felicia and Aaron, recently made our 100th regular episode of the podcast, and we felt the need to celebrate. This is the first of our two-part quiz where Felicia tests Aaron's knowledge on literature he loves, knows, and...sort of heard of. It's a fun game...
-
Talk Booky Asks "Is Water Wet?": Episode One
There are so many big questions to be solved in this universe. What is the meaning of life? If you are born on the extra day during a leap year, do you still age? Should breakfast be served for dinner? These are too much for this little podcast, so, this month, we decided to figure out if water…
more -
Talk Booky's Blockbuster Summer: Episode Three
Many movies, comics, and (obviously) books later, we are finally through adaptation month. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we hold final discussions on the books from June, including a weirdly similar narrative about ancient creatures being revived and a very straight-forward take on classic...
-
Talk Booky: Exploration - Jurassic Park
Ages ago (about 165 million years ago), in a world much like our own (exactly like our own), dinosaurs (not dragons) roamed. Eventually, a great ball of hot rock (a meteor) fell from the heavens (the sky) and killed them all. Skip ahead to the 1990s, and they were resurrected in literature by...
-
Talk Booky's Blockbuster Summer: Episode Two
The only feeling that comes close to the satisfaction of finishing a great book is walking out of a movie theatre, through the sticky floors with a stomach cramps brough on by artificial butter, after seeing a new Summer blockbuster. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, in this episode as we try to…
more -
Talk Booky: Exploration - Drive My Car
Time for a trip. This bonus episode of the Talk Booky to Me podcast is the first in our Exploration series in which we, Felicia and Aaron, will take extensive, exploratory looks at pieces of literature, stories, literary concepts, ideas, and so much more. This first episode is spearheaded by…
more -
Talk Booky's Blockbuster Summer: Episode One
The June heatwaves send people flocking indoors for A/C and good movies, so we, Felicia and Aaron, decided to get ahead of Blockbuster season by focusing on literary adaptations. Join us on this episode as we cover some news on adaptations to stream this month, exchange books and build a TBR…

Talk Booky Decides Whodunit: Episode Three
This is a big one. Normally, Talk Booky uses this time to celebrate our reading goals for the month, but a spur-of-the-moment trip to the book fair changed everything. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we recap our time meeting dozens of independent authors and spending far too much money on their...
-
Talk Booky Decides Whodunit: Episode Two
Two weeks later, and we are no closer to solving the mystery of endless TBR, but we will not give up! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we open with some news on book (and comic) recommendations before moving to the real case-of-the-week. Felicia investigated a few classics to see if Robert Jordan…
more -
Talk Booky Decides Whodunit: Episode One
It's time to break out the magnifying glass, put on our thinking caps, and find a giant dog that has a loose command of the English language because...a mystery needs to be solved this May! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we get ready for our monthly reading full of tangled mysteries and twisted...
-
Talk Booky Gets Lost in Translation: Episode Three
The last two week so April have been a mixed bag for Talk Booky. On the one hand, Felicia started full-time teaching while taking several literature classes, meaning she read a lot (of student writing) and had to write an ungodly amount about the few books she read. On the other, Aaron finished...
-
Talk Booky Gets Lost in Translation: Episode Two
A few weeks into a month of translated literature, you may assume we learned a new language, but you would be wrong. You may assume we read some amazing books, and you would be right. That's all that matters...right? Right?! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover our mid-month reading progress…
more -
Talk Booky Gets Lost in Translation: Episode One
One of our favorite things as literature lovers is experiencing something new. April brings about Spring, washing away some of the stagnation of Winter, and ushering in change. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we kickoff the new season with works in translation! This episode opens with some news on...
-
Talk Booky's Odd World: Episode Three
It's weird to wrap up the weird month with a lot of weird feelings about the weird books we read. That's a weird sentence...anyway, join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we wrap up March! We open with some news about nostalgic literature getting its flowers and the new shortlist for an international…
more -
Talk Booky's Odd World: Episode Two
It's fitting that our "odd" month includes an odd recording schedule. Here we are, four days before mid-month, trying to share our progress so far, and the content is...surprisingly rich! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover some news on new releases and the British Book Awards, move on to...
-
Talk Booky's Odd World: Episode One
It's a new month, so that's a brand-new chance to finish a TBR! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we cover some news about boundary-breaking women in Japan and fighting oppression in Ukraine with poetry before we introduce our new theme. Not to spoil it, but it's going to be a weird month. We set up…

Talk Booky Elevates Black Voices: Episode Three
Another February rolls to a close, and we, mostly, broke the curse of book slumpage (we know that's not a word, but cut us some slack). Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we halfway celebrate a February of rich reading. We start with some timely news about Black literature recommendations and...
-
Talk Booky Elevates Black Voices: Episode Two
The usual book slump of February can't stand up to us this year! Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we do a mid-month update on our reading progress during the month that usually sends us spiraling into a cave that drains our ability to read until March. Not in 2026...well, at least for one of us! We...
-
Talk Booky Elevates Black Voices: Episode One
February is usually the slowest month for the Talk Booky duo, but we are meeting it with fierce motivation this year. The regular below-freezing temperatures and requirements to read literature that is over five-hundred years old won't deter us from making the most of this year's Black History...
-
Talk Booky Predicts Five Stars: Episode Three
We may not visit five-star restaurants very often, but this month was full of five-star books. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we wrap up a month full of odd and impressive reads. Nostalgia washes over this episode as we revisit the small and mighty hobbits of Tolkien, reminisce about days in…
more -
Talk Booky Predicts Five Stars: Episode Two
We at Talk Booky don't want to say we can predict the future, but this episode makes a good case for us. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, on our pursuit of five-star books to kick off 2026. We are halfway through January with a few hits already. This episode kicks off with some news about Southern...
-
Talk Booky Predicts Five Stars: Episode One
Time to buy a new Sports Illustrated calendar, pack up our sweaters with 2024 slang words like "aura" and "huz" on them, give up on learning what 6-7 means and hope it dies out, and, most importantly, watch that GoodRead's number roll from 452 (or, you know, 30) books read to 0. Join us, Felicia...
-
Talk Booky's Time Crunch: Episode Three
Like a famous poet once said, "wake me up when...(December?) ends..." You get the point. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we mourn another month of disappointingly slow reading. We open with some political news and a good look-back at 2025 in books, talk about our (mostly) failed time crunch month,...
-
The Talk Booky Awards: 2025
2025 has been horrible. Let's just say it. It's been horrible. Politics have been horrible, gas prices are horrible, meat prices are horrible, war is horrible...look, it's just been horrible. Regardless, we are here. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we hold our annual Talk Booky Awards that require...
-
Talk Booky's Time Crunch: Episode Two
The clock is seriously ticking down on 2025, and we guess all of you are struggling as much as we are to finish any sort of reading goal for the year, but here we are. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we discuss our mid-month progress on the December reading crunch. We open with the GoodRead's…
more -
Talk Booky's Time Crunch: Episode One
Cereal is so good. Captain Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, French Toast Crunch, Christmas crunch... The last one was made up. Join us, Felicia and Aaron as we kick off December. We start with news, but the book exchange gets out-of-hand as we try give each other books by authors we already know....
-
Talk Booky Thanks Families: Episode Three
Our bellies are full of turkey, and there are enough leftovers to feed a family of seven resting in the fridge as we record this episode, and there's no better way to wrap up the month about families. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we round-out November. We open with news about book…
more -
Talk Booky Thanks Families: Episode Two
We made it halfway through November which may or may not be great, depending on how the year has been for you. Regardless, the podcast must go on. We, Felicia and Aaron, managed an episode about family during a time when families are loosely defined. This episode has some news about the GoodReads...
-
Talk Booky Thanks Families: Episode One
Large meals are around the corner, so we are tightening our belts and prepping our stomachs as we move into November. Join us, Felicia and Aaron, as we set up a new theme about families and exchange some interesting books about different (and somewhat concerning) family dynamics. We start with…

more -
Talk Booky is Afraid of the Dark: Episode One
