Mehso-so

This was a DNF because I‘m not sure I understand books based on Podcasts. For the most part, I prefer listening to the Podcast for the information AND I already feel guilty for spending reading time listening to it, so I do not then want to reread the information. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh well. To each their own.

Megabooks I took it as you could read a book mentioned on a podcast like All the Books or The Reading Women. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I‘m not a big podcast fan either. 6y
SkeletonKey @Megabooks - Ooooh! That would have been a better interpretation for me. I like podcasts a lot but the books based on them seem to lack additional depth. 6y
Cinfhen Sorry it was a DNF! And @Megabooks is correct! You could have read any book that was mentioned on a podcast or however you chose to interpret. It‘s all good... move on to something else 6y

SkeletonKey @Cinfhen - Thanks! 6y
LiterRohde And books related to podcasts do not all just rehash the same information as the podcast. I read the first book related to the podcast Welcome to Night Vale. While it was similar to the podcast, it was a whole new story that they were not going to tell on the podcast. Sometimes it‘s a great way to get more of what you love from the podcast. Plus, I found mine in audiobook format, so it was like listening to the podcast. (edited) 6y
SkeletonKey @LiterRohde - I tried to read that one too, but got sidetracked! Might try again someday, audio is a good idea. But there are so many things in the world to read. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘ve been wondering about this book. Does the outline match podcast episodes? Or is it new content in the same style? 6y
SkeletonKey @BarbaraTheBibliophage - It doesn‘t follow episodes, but it does group together information from the episodes into related categories (gross things, weird things, etc). It would be a great encyclopedia-type book of medical weirdness for younger people. 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @SkeletonKey Ah. Got it. Thanks. 6y
Cinfhen I wasn‘t able to find your new author pick, can you please remind me what you read so I can give you credit towards that prompt. Thanks 💚 6y
SkeletonKey @Cinfhen - Oh yes! I didn‘t realize you kept track. I tagged you, it was How Long Til Black Future Month. 6y
Cinfhen We track the books because at the end of every quarter we hold a drawing and for every prompt completed during that quarter you earn an entry 🥳 6y
SkeletonKey @Cinfhen - Oh neat!! That‘s awesome. 6y

For the “Related to a Podcast” challenge of #booked2019.

Also pictured: library water bottle filled with cucumber water... because HYDRATE.

Also pictured: a very sweet valentine‘s day gift of a candle that‘s supposed to smell like BOOKS. Because someone knows me well.

Lindy Does that candle actually smell like books? 6y
SkeletonKey @Lindy - Naaaah, it‘s reminiscent but mostly vanilla-y. 6y
Lindy @SkeletonKey The paper in old books gives off a sort of vanilla smell as its compounds break down. So, I guess the candlemakers might have been trying to capture that. 6y

SkeletonKey @Lindy - I‘ve read that! It‘s a pleasant scent either way. 6y
sarahbarnes I need that water bottle. 😁 6y
SkeletonKey @sarahbarnes - I do have the power to get more 😁 6y
sarahbarnes Oooh...I would be interested in discussing that power with you further. 😁 6y
SkeletonKey @sarahbarnes - They‘re $5 at my library, can be shipped by me 😄 6y
sarahbarnes That‘s awesome! I‘m definitely interested! I would happily pay $5 + shipping. 6y
sarahbarnes I can email you my address, and get the $$ to you however is easiest for you! 6y

Getting in some good reading before all the Christmas chaos. I love the Sawbones podcast and the book is equally great. #happychristmaseveeve #sawbones #justinmcelroy #drsydneemcelroy

Really enjoyed this! It had some great photos and covered a wide range of topics. Ms. Kang is an excellent speaker as well (saw her give a Science Cafe Talk).

If you like this sort of thing, check out the #sawbones podcast. Their slogan is “a marital tour of misguided medicine”. #nonfiction #medicine #history

vivastory Sounds great! 6y
