42: Gifts Gone Bad

What happens when gifts go bad? Some great books, and comedy gold. 

We're talking about gifts in every form this week, gifts that backfire spectacularly. Along the way, Erin and Amy remember their worst gifts, wonder why kids always smell like syrup, and propose a new investigation podcast, just for an excuse to dig into weirdness. 

_____
Our picks this week: 

Novels:

Amy: The Power, Naomi Alderman

Erin: Him Her Him Again The End of Him, Patricia Marx

Other Books:

Amy: The Martian Chronicles, Ray Bradbury(Short story collection and graphic novel)

Erin: American Fire: Love, Arson, and Life in a Vanishing Land, Monica Hesse(True crime, nonfiction)

Broads and Books is the funny and feminist book podcast you need in your life!

Each episode, Amy and Erin choose a unique theme. Then we choose two fiction books, two other genre books (short story collections, memoir, non-fiction, true crime, poetry, etc.), and two pop culture picks based on that theme. We surprise each other with our picks, talk about why we like them, and give you unexpected recommendations for every reading taste.

Along the way, we share embarrassing stories, pitch amazing-slash-crackpot business ideas, implicate ourselves in future crimes, check in on our Podcats, and so much more.

Broads and Books is fresh, funny, thought-provoking, and basically the best time you'll have all week.
