Books and Where to Track Your Reading Activity

Books and Where to Track Your Reading Activity

Can I Bring My Book. The podcast where we, Kat and Amanda, will tangentially discuss books... and so much more.

In Episode 5, Kat and Amanda chat about their current reads, diving into cozy fall novels like The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore and Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc, whimsical fantasies like The Fellowship of Bakers and Magic by J. Penner,  and The Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee, and more. Amanda raves about The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, while Kat shares her struggles with the overly descriptive writing in Watchers by Dean Koontz.

The duo also explores reading apps, with Kat loving Fable’s features like spoiler-free discussions, detailed graphs, and its book club capabilities, but also confessing to some creative library “extensions.” Amanda offers constructive criticism on Fable’s tracking system and functionality while comparing other apps like StoryGraph.

They wrap up with the announcement of December’s book club pick, How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior, and some friendly banter about Bestie Book Swap deadlines.
