The thespilledinkandcoffeeshow’s Podcast

Two-Hour Podcast Special: Independent Bookstore Day at Port Key Books There are episodes that feel special while you’re recording them, and then there are the ones that stay with you long after the microphones are off. This Independent Bookstore Day special at Port Key Books was one of those rare, electric experiences. For two full hours, The Spilled Ink and Coffee Show stepped into a space where stories do not just sit on shelves, they breathe, connect, and transform. At the heart of it all is Crystal, owner and true Book Extraordinaire of @portkeybooks @portkeybookstore. To call her a bookseller feels far too small. She is a storyteller in her own right, weaving together people and pages with an ease that feels almost magical. Listening to her share how Port Key Books began, you quickly realize this is not just a bookstore. It is a living, evolving community. A place where readers become friends, where authors become family, and where every event feels like unlocking a new chapter. And the events. From intimate book clubs to unforgettable author signings, to the dazzling Bookish Balls where readers arrive in gorgeous fashion to celebrate the stories they love, Port Key Books offers more than meets the eye. It is endless magic waiting to be discovered. Crystal’s go to recommendation during our conversation was City of Thieves by David Benioff (@DavidBenioff2 @davidbenioffofficial), a novel that speaks to the kind of gripping, human storytelling she champions. And speaking of storytelling, her own life is intertwined with it. She is married to a Veteran and published author, Aramis Calderon, whose work Fugitive Son (@aramis.calderon.writes @aramiscalderonauthor) reflects both service and creativity. Their shared world of words is inspiring and grounded in both sacrifice and passion. Crystal also encouraged readers to dive into the lush worlds of Jacqueline A. Carey (@jcareyauthor), especially for those craving fantasy and romantasy with depth and beauty. Throughout the episode, we did not just talk about books, we talked with the people who love them. Port Key patrons and friends joined in, sharing their thoughts, laughter, and recommendations. Our signature book review raffle added to the excitement and built toward a moment of celebration for our community. And yes, this episode is packed with bookish gems. We explored titles and authors lighting up shelves right now: The Kindred’s Curse Saga by @authorpenncole The Wicked Sea & Bitten by @jordanstephaniegray, fresh from her Port Key signing Project Hail Mary by @andyweirauthor @andyweirofficialever, which led us into a lively debate on movie versus book versus audiobook The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang (@kuangrf) The Correspondence by @virginia.l.evans Improbably Yours by Cary Ann King Dungeon Crawler Carl Series by @mattdinniman Yesteryear by @caroclaireburke Trad Wife by @saratogaishere The Night Guest by @hildurknutsdottir Piranesi by @susannaclarke_ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by @veschwab Hollow by @carolinepeckham Divine Rivals by @rebeccajross The Road of Bones by @demiwinterswrites Redshirts by @jscalzi And of course, ACOTAR by @sarahjmaas Somewhere between these conversations, we found ourselves asking a question that lingered beautifully. What do YOU define as magical realism? In a place like Port Key Books, that line between the real and the magical feels wonderfully blurred. We even uncovered a quirky favorite snack among book lovers, dry ramen and coffee. Not exactly gourmet, but undeniably iconic. We could not celebrate Independent Bookstore Day without a major shoutout to @librofm and the GOLDEN TICKET, reminding us how important it is to support independent bookstores in every format. And of course, celebration time. Congratulations to Scarlett, the winner of The Spilled Ink and Coffee Show Bookish Gift Bag, filled with all your book journaling essentials. Your next chapter just got a little more magical. Speaking of journaling, Book Journaling 101 Workshops are coming soon from The Spilled Ink and Coffee Show, and we cannot wait to dive deeper into how we capture our reading lives. This episode was not just a recording. It was a gathering. A reminder of why independent bookstores matter, why stories matter, and why community matters. Be sure you are following @thespilledinkandcoffeeshow and @portkeybooks so you never miss a moment, an event, or a little bit of magic. Because if this episode proved anything, it is this. When books bring people together, something extraordinary always happens.     📚✨ TWO-HOUR PODCAST SPECIAL ✨📚 Independent Bookstore Day @portkeybooks @portkeybookstore We spent TWO incredible hours inside the magic that is Port Key Books with Crystal, owner, storyteller, and true Book Extraordinaire 💫 From how it all began to the way she connects people to people and people to books… this place is pure community, connection, and bookish joy.

🥒✨Episode 31: Jars that press pickles they’re oddly satisfying! Blood or pickles? Stamping or tabbing? Tears or trauma? Do we still blot lipstick? 💄 We talk new book journaling ideas and evolutions, and seriously—what are YOU doing with your tabbies?! This episode has all of it. Kasie gives 3.5 stars ⭐⭐⭐½ to EMOLECIPATION by Dylan West (dylanwestauthor.com), who writes young adult science fiction and fantasy that is faith-based and is also a video game designer 🎮📖. 💔 A tear-jerker! Rachel gives 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ to The Stationery Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali @marjankamali7 — a historical romance novel about two young lovers, Roya and Bahman, whose romance blossoms in a Tehran stationery shop in 1953, only to be tragically separated by a political coup. 😬 ARC talk! Rachel gives 2 stars ⭐⭐ to The Determined Book by Rachel Rueckert @rachekrueckert. Awesome cover. Let-down story. Not enough action! 🩸✨ Kasie reads Queer Little Nightmares and gives it 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Queer Little Nightmares is a collection of fiction and poetry that takes classic monsters, flips the horror gaze, and says: what if the things we’re taught to fear are actually powerful, beautiful, and deeply queer? Edited by David Ly and Daniel Zomparelli, this anthology is unsettling, lyrical, fierce, and absolutely not here to make you comfortable—and Kasie loved that for her. Perfect for readers who like their horror thoughtful, their poetry sharp, and their monsters a little too relatable. 🩸✨ Trigger warnings! 📲 Follow the editors: 🖤 @divad.ly 🖤 @dzompare 🔍 Rachel reads Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica @marykubica. Local Woman Missing is a suspense thriller about the disappearances of Shelby Tebow, Meredith Dickey, and Meredith’s daughter, Delilah, in a quiet suburb, with the mystery deepening when Delilah reappears eleven years later, leading to shocking revelations about the past and present. Rachel gives it 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐. 🔥 Kasie reads a sci-fi sapphic graphic novel and absolutely loses it: WELCOME BACK, HELP, I’M ALIVE! 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ by Christopher Sebela. Kasie is drooling over all the hotties in this one. GORGEOUS art. Fiery story. 📲 @xtophersebela @xtop Also featured because chaos and vibes: ☕ @bookandbottle 💄 @rupaul - PLEASE add Queer Little Nightmares to your reading list!! 🥐☕Huge thank you to @chez.david.french.restaurant for letting us record our bookish podcast in your beautiful space—and for keeping our coffee cups very full.

Dark, compelling, and somehow gave us the immortal reaction: “yikes, a scary booger!” 👀🚨 🎧 Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Audiobook (highly recommended! By @davidsedaris) @taffyakner @squarebooks A dark, emotional family saga about wealth, trauma, and the ripple effects of a shocking 1980 kidnapping. Rachel was SO emotionally invested she legitimately wanted to smack Beamer. That’s how you know it’s good. 😤💔@therealkieranculkin this has characters for you! 📚 Kasie’s Reviews 👽 Alien vs. Predator by Michael Robbins ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Physical Book A gritty, grungy, modern poetry collection that is not what you think. Spoken-word vibes, sharp edges, and a reminder that poetry can be as deep (or not) as you want it to be. 🎤🖤 🇳🇴 The Xenophobe’s Guide to the Norwegians by Dan Elloway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Paperback @danelloway Fun facts, humor, and cultural quirks galore! Master recyclers, paid to procreate, lovers of brown stinky cheese 🧀—a happy, responsible people we should all probably take notes from.

With popcorn popping, espresso flowing, and the vibe set to “bookish mischief,” we hosted our very first Book-to-Movie Showdown — and it did not disappoint. In this episode, we dive deep into two wildly different but equally iconic stories: 🎭 The Phantom of the Opera From the novel’s gothic tunnels and haunting romance to the sweeping drama of its film adaptations, we explore how this timeless tale transforms from page to screen. Does the book’s eerie intensity hold up? Do the movies elevate or dilute Gaston Leroux’s masterpiece? And yes… we talk about that chandelier scene. 🎮 Ready Player One Nostalgia? Check. Pop-culture overload? Check. A VR dystopia that weirdly feels like our future? Double check. We dig into what the book gets right, where the movie levels up, and which version wins the Society’s showdown debate. Expect spicy opinions, surprising agreements, and more 80s references than anyone asked for. Recorded live on location, this episode is filled with laughter, great conversation, and that warm community energy that makes the Spilled Ink & Coffee Society what it is. Whether you read the books, watched the films, or just love a good literary throwdown, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. Grab your beverage of choice, settle in, and enjoy the cinematic chaos. #TheSpilledInkAndCoffeeSociety #BookToMovie #BookVsMovie #PhantomOfTheOpera #ReadyPlayerOne #Gigglewaters #SafetyHarborFL #BookClubSpecial #PodcastEpisode #BookishCommunity #ReadersOfInstagram #BookishPodcast #BookDiscussion #FilmAdaptations #BookNerdLife #TheSpilledInkAndCoffeeShow

Episode 15: "Moules-Frites" 🥖🍟 This week we’re serving up a plate full of randomness (with extra fries). We review The Green Kingdom, dive into Mobile Suit Gundam Origin Vol. 1 (giant robots AND feelings!), and Mad spoofs the Special Star Wars Edition because… why not? We also wonder: what actually comes after Gen X? Can old people survive the chaos of social media? And—very importantly—we learn how to order mussels and fries in French (spoiler: it sounds fancy no matter how you say it).

✨ Episode 14: Out of This World ✨ Buckle up, because this week we’re peeking way into the future — like, Kasie’s 2026 journal prep level of future. (Spoiler: it may or may not involve stickers, pens, and a prophecy or two.) Meanwhile, Rachel embarked on a three-hour IKEA odyssey — not just for furniture, but to pour her heart into building a book nook just for us. It’s cozy, creative, and ready to be the backdrop for all our future videos (and maybe a few dramatic readings of instruction manuals). And then… things get cosmic. We’re taking a deep dive into Any Weir’s Hail Mary project — because if anyone can launch a last-ditch space mission with questionable snacks, it’s us. It’s part journaling séance, part IKEA survival guide, part intergalactic group project.

We kick things off with some juicy deets on the upcoming Epic Universe preview (spoiler alert: nerdy squealing may occur).

Klune—brace yourselves, the ratings might just cause an existential crisis.

Rachel’s making her stage debut in Dial M for Murder (serving noir sass and suspicious glances), Dalia drops in like a well-timed twist, and we're already planning our next field trip to Ollie’s Discount Books! This week’s book review includes: 📘 Austin at Sea by Natalie Jenner 🛸 The Lost Realms by Zecharia Sitchin 🧘 Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse ⏳ Strangers in Time by David Baldacci (Spoiler alert: not all of them survived the fangirl filter.)   #BookTok #VirtualBookClub #inkandcoffee #ReadersOfTikTok #BookClub #MonthlyReads #Bookjournaling #bookreviews #bookclubtiktok #TheSpilledInkAndCoffeeSociety #BookTube #OnlineBookClub #ReadersCommunity #sips #Bookstagram #Bookish #ReadingCommunity #ReadersOfInstagram #BookNerd #InstaBooks #booktok #booktube #shorts #books #bookjournal #instagram #inspiration 

🎙️ Episode 9: “Savage Grinding at Sunrise Reaping” In the first very chaotic 10 minutes, Kasie burns something in the kitchen (again), Rachel channels French work-life balance wisdom, and a snack taste test spins wildly out of control. Also: solid plans are made to see Welcome to NightVale and David Sedaris live—because obviously. In Rachel’s Reads, we break down The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey featuring Sir Savage from Boston, who’s hot, broody, and apparently into fully clothed grinding. Rachel’s not having it. “Is this a Hallmark movie or adult fiction?” she demands. Then we deep dive into Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. Five stars. Wonderfully tragic. And yes, Lenora Dove is the unlikable girlfriend we can’t stop talking about. Who do you root for when everyone’s destined to die?! Up & Coming: 🦴 The Bones Beneath My Skin—featuring Artemis, who might be Darth Vader’s moody, literary cousin 🔍 A David Baldacci thriller that has us yelling at the pages   Hot takes, fire hazards, and full-body bookish chaos.

Episode 8: This is Gasp! (Pad Thai p.2) Buckle up, bookish space cadets—things are about to get extra. This week, we attempted a civilized book club discussion, but this is Gasp! Off the Rails in the Cosmos, so you already know: decorum doesn’t stand a chance. We meant to talk about: Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi Orbital by Samantha Harvey Welcome to Nightvale The Answer is No by Fredrik Backman Kasie dishes on The Answer is No, picking up where Rachel’s hot take left off last episode (hit rewind if you missed it!). We also spiral into future reads like Siddhartha, The Lost Realms by Zecharia Sitchin, Sunrise on the Reaping, and The Bones Beneath My Skin. Oh—and Rachel? She’s clocked over 30 books since January. Casual. 📚 BONUS CHAOS: Mid-episode, an impromptu book rave breaks out when a group of women at the next table overhears us talking about time travel in cafes. Suddenly, it’s a full-on literary flash mob with hot takes  Kate Quinn’s historical rabbit holes And some guy named Kormac... Kormick... Cormac McCarthy? (Sorry, literary gods.) We did not plan this. It was glorious. ⚠️ Warning: Contains wildly off-topic tangents, spicy literary side-eye, surprise restaurant book debates, and enough chaos to short-circuit your starship’s navigation. Pour yourself a cosmic cup of coffee and enjoy the wormhole ride. #BookishChaos #BeforeTheCoffeeGetsCold with major #WelcomeToNightValeVibes #FredrikBackmanFeels #SpaceCadetReads #LiteraryFlashMob #UnexpectedBookClub #WomenWhoRead #HotTakeAlert #TimeTravelTales #CosmicBookChat #RestaurantReads #SpilledInkStyle #BookTok #VirtualBookClub #inkandcoffee #ReadersOfTikTok #BookClub #MonthlyReads #BookLoversUnite #bookclubtiktok #TheSpilledInkAndCoffeeSociety #BookTube #OnlineBookClub #ReadersCommunity #sips #Bookstagram #Bookish #ReadingCommunity #ReadersOfInstagram #BookNerd #InstaBooks #shorts

Episode name “Blame it on the Pad Thai”   It’s a full-on nostalgia meltdown! We’re talking McDonald’s, Barbies, Garbage Pail Kids, Cabbage Patches, baseball cards…….. Plus: the legend of Grandma Honeycutt & the The Hocksters. Take a peek into our childhood collections. Rachel shares her bookish roots as an English teacher, we count the sugar cubes in soda (yikes), and yes—we’ve got books to review! The only show where all this lives in perfect, chaotic harmony. This week, we kick things off with the eternal struggle: what size should your book journal actually be? We’re talking grids vs. dots, chaotic tabs, washi tape ambitions, and how we each track our reading lives (or try to). Then it’s time for The PTA Meeting—our name for this week’s literary lineup: Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor (weird, wonderful, weatherless) Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey by Hayden Carruth (yes, it’s poetry, and yes, it’s got kick) Wings of Fire: The Graphic Novel by Tui T. Sutherland (dragons. DRAGONS.) None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell (twisty and terrifying, in the best way) The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent (gothic fairy tale realness) The Answer Is No by Fredrik Backman (short stories that don’t mess around) It’s journals, jokes, and just enough literary chaos to keep things interesting. Bring your favorite pen, your beverage of choice, and a healthy fear of PTA meetings. #BookTok #VirtualBookClub #inkandcoffee #ReadersOfTikTok #BookClub #MonthlyReads #BookLoversUnite #bookclubtiktok #TheSpilledInkAndCoffeeSociety #BookTube #OnlineBookClub #ReadersCommunity #sips #Bookstagram #Bookish #ReadingCommunity #ReadersOfInstagram #BookNerd #InstaBooks #shorts

The Gift tangles with Freida McFadden, Suzy Toronto vibes, Wearing the Lion ARCs, curses break, Sendak stirs, and robots ride magic carpets as we sip through our tangled, ink-soaked chaos—no backies, and we mean it. Our discussions? Well, they might just dive into wacky word origins, touch upon Greek mythology, and definitely involve the enjoyment of chocolate mouses with a French roasted coffee.
