Kendall Bookworms

Joe has a bone to pick. A rant to make. And poor Alex has to suffer for it. Not only is he forced to participate in this conversation, Joe forced him to have to read this horribly dreadful book. That's right. The brothers read the 2024 Hugo winning book, Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh. Listen in as they discuss the reasons why they think this book should never have even been in the discussion for what was once such a prestigious award for Science Fiction and Fantasy. If you have read this book, and either agree with the brothers or especially disagree, please comment and let them know. They would really love your feedback on this one. What did they miss!? Next month for their book club pick, Joe has us all reading The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Yes that Frank Herbert that gave us the most popular science fiction book of all time, Dune. Let's see if what the brothers think of his lesser known work; if it lives up to the name of such an acclaimed author. That episode will be dropping on April 5th, so keep your eyes open for that. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

We are in an Alex book pick month. And he decided on a nice cozy young adult fantasy. The two brothers (and hopefully you!) read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. A story about Sophie, a young shop girl, oldest of three sisters, who is cursed with old age by the Witch of the West. April is back to a Joe pick month. We will be making the large jump from fantasy to science fiction. Joe has picked the lesser known novel of the most famous sci-fi author of all times. We will be reading The White Plague by Frank Herbert. So mark it in your calendars so you don't miss this show. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

So. Joe did what he said he would never do. He folded. He gave in. He let Alex pick the bonus book. A book series that he said should burn in the pits of hell. So, for your post Valentine's present from your favorite, lovable, adorable book club podcast; we of Kendall Bookworms give you this month's bonus episode, Double Stuffed by Sylvia Morrow. This is the second book of the Stuffed series. Alex's favorite books and Joe's worst nightmares. Be prepared to be to be so very uncomfortable. And FYI, this is definitely not appropriate for children's ears. So please be sure to have your headphones on or to be listening in a private place. I mean, who wants to hear about a woman being ravished by pillows than Alex... Next month's book club pick is going to be Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. So make sure that you don't miss that dropping on March 5th. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

Joe has picked another book called Night Watch. This time, instead of time travel and revolution, we are discussing Russian philosophy and bad writing. That's right, as the title of the episode says, we read Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch. A novel that takes place in post-Soviet Moscow, where the wizards of the Light and the Dark are battling it out on the streets. In this episode, the brothers will talk about what was good about the novel and where the author went so wrong in the second half. This is another book that Joe read in his college days, and his opinion has markedly changed since that first reading. Alex... Well, he had some changing opinions on the book too. Next month (March) is an Alex pick. He is asking all of us to read the classic book, Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Another fantasy book, this time geared more for a younger audience. So make sure you pick it up and have it read by the 5th of next month. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode.

Welcome to the bonus episode of the month. This month Joe tells Becky about a book that he read for one of his book clubs. It was a book that he had little faith in, but ended up being thankful that Becky insisted he give it a try and read it. So buckle up, because this rambling talk is going to be all over the place; with lots of ups and downs and craziness. Next month's book pick is Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (Not to be confused with Terry Pratchett's novel by the same name). So make sure you subscribe and keep your eyes open for the 5th of February for that episode drop. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

It is the start of a new year! And what better way than to make a resolution to listen to this podcast. This month Alex picked the retelling of The Odyssey from one of his favorite authors. The brothers read The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. It is through the eyes of Penelope, the wife of Odysseus, and her long grueling wait for a wandering husband. Told in a quick and snappy way that is a pure pleasure to read. For the February pick, Joe changed it up a little bit. He picked the Russian urban-fantasy novel Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko. Don't get this confused with last years pick of the same title by Sir Terry Pratchett. Two very different stories. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

In this very special bonus episode, Becky has come back to discuss several fan theories and controversies (no, not the main one about the author being a TURF). Joe puts his two cents in every once in a while to make sure he sounds like a doofus too. In the discussions the two of them cover topics such as what houses they believe they would have been put in; their thoughts on which characters should have hooked up instead of who actually did; and that the series is actually two series hobbled together by the Goblet of Fire; among other thoughts on their recent readings of the books.

It's December. Christmas is in the air. So, Joe and Alex thought it would be the perfect gift to for all of you to read and share our thoughts on a book so filled with blood and gore that it would make the Hogfather blush. And no we aren't reading The Hogfather. For the December pick Joe had us read The Tain as translated by Ciaran Carson. This book is the longest epic from the Ulster Cycle following Cu Cullainn and the Cattle Raid of Cooley. Listen as both brothers stumbling to pronounce difficult words in Irish Gaelic, complain about how some of the most gruesome battle scenes ever written could be so boring and banal. Next month, Alex has picked another epic myth to follow, but in a retelling done by one of the greatest writers of our time. We will be reading The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. We hope you join us there. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.

Welcome to Bookworms. In this very special bonus episode, Becky joins Joe to host an author interview. Today Alex Kendall is in the hot as he is about to republish his novel The Destroyer. New and improved; with hopefully all the grammatical errors removed. Listen in to discover his writing process and the passions that he is now pursuing. With it being the holiday shopping season let us remind our listeners to support your local authors.

Welcome one and all. This month we have a wild adventure story to bring to you. Alex chose the forgotten classic, The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. A story of several old wizards fighting an old evil across a strange land oddly similar to our world, but at the same time oddly different. Next month Joe picked a mythical tale of blood and gore. Join the brothers in reading the classic Irish story of Cu Chulainn in The Tain as translated by Ciaran Carson. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

Welcome to Bookworms. Today Alex and Joe have a very special guest to talk about a hilarious yet worrying book. Haley, resident of Grafton, has joined the brothers to talk about A Libertarian Walks into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. In this discussion, the three try to stop laughing long enough to discuss what it really is like to live in the small New Hampshire town since the Free-Staters have left their mark.

Welcome to Bookworms! This month the brothers discuss Joe's first pick of the season. The book that they discussed was Alice by Christina Henry. Alex thought it was just okay, but Joe worked his voodoo and talked Alex into thinking it was an alright book after all. An increase in a whole half star in Alex's rating. If you want to hear how Joe did that, then please give it a listen. We promise that you won't be disappointed. Just a warning, this book is graphically violent and both brothers discuss some unsavory topics. So if you have anyone under age with you, probably best to put the earbuds in. Next month Alex picked another oldie but goodie. And not to be outdone in the fantasy realm either. For the month of November, we will be reading The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. So pull up your boot straps and get ready for an adventure with two crotchety old men. Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month.

Welcome to our first bonus episode of the season. This month, Becky was kind enough to discuss an interesting book that she had recently read called Chasing Shadows by Gregory Skomal. This is an interesting book on the history of studying sharks. Specifically the "Great" White Shark off of the coast of New England. Becky and Joe only hit the high points, so totally go out and check this book out. It is worth the read if you are into science and ocean life. Joe's first pick of the season is going to be Alice by Christina Henry. That is going to be out on October 5th at 5 AM Eastern time. So be sure to put it down in your calendar so you don't forget.

Welcome to the first episode of season 2! Alex may have picked a difficult one to start off with, but both brothers are excited to get back into the swing of things. And this first one was a doozy. Alex picked the book, An American Dream by Norman Mailer. Mailer was one of the greats in the 60's and 70's but in these times has kind of fallen off the map of being read. Alex and Joe discuss why this is and if it is justified. Just a little warning, this book is graphic and both brothers refused to pull any punches when talking about the topics of murder, rape, and incest. You have been warned. Next month, Joe's pick will be Alice by Christina Henry. It is going to be another very graphic book. But Joe thinks it is well worth the rough start in reading along with both of them for the start of season 2. There is also going to be a bonus episode this month. Becky was kind enough to sit down with Joe and discuss an interesting book that she had just read. So keep your eyes peeled for that. And on the topic of Becky. We would like to thank her for updating our logo for this knew season. So if you get the chance let her know what you think of the color updates. Please help us grow this podcast.

Alex and Joe meet up one final time to talk about how their first season went. They go over some of their favorite books and moments and play a couple of little quizzes with each other. Joe runs the stats and makes a plea for people to become more engaged with the podcast. The brothers also make their announcement for the upcoming season. We are looking for ideas and help for bonus episodes. So if anyone would like to be a part of the podcast, has a friend or acquaintance that is an author, or has a book recommendation, please reach out. Email and other links will be below. Season two will start right off next month, September 5th. Alex has first choice again thanks to Joe's generosity. Alex has picked An American Dream by Norman Mailer. One of those "lost" classics that many hardcore writers and literary people know about, but the general public has largely forgotten. No bonus book this month. Letting the brothers take a break and get caught up in their other books. With that said, Joe did bring up the question of, would people want to read book reviews and other articles that we write? And is there a preferred webpage that people would like to see that content? Joe has done some digging into Patreon, Substack and Medium, and any input would be appreciated.

Our final Bonus Episode of Season 1! We made it people. Thank you to all of those people that have stuck with us since the get go. Alex and Joe hope that you have enjoyed the show thus far. And hopefully you all enjoy this special episode that we put together. This book is different. Alex read House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Be careful reading this book. It could drive you mad. This is definitely a one of a kind book. Written in a way that has never been done before and probably never be seen again. Listen to Alex describe to Joe the journey into madness that he took, and how he was able to make it out alive. Or did he? Just a reminder. No reading assignment for next month.

This is our season finally for our 16 picks! And boy is it a doozy. Joe tried to warn Alex that it might be better to split this one into two parts. But he didn't listen. More fool him. So now you get to enjoy your second long episode in a row. We promise we will be better about it next season. In this episode Joe and Alex read the book Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks. This is the third book in Banks's Culture series. Don't worry though, you don't need to have read the first two to know what is going on in this story. Joe makes some pretty bold claims and Alex does his best to tamper them down. It is amazing to both your humble hosts how they both had different interpretations of the Culture civilization and their methods. Joe does a fantastic job of defending his point of view, if I say so myself. No book next month. We will be having a Season 1 wrap up episode instead. There will be one more Bonus Episode on the 20th though. So keep your eyes peeled for that. It is going to be a doozy. But not 2 hours long. We promise. Please help us grow this podcast.

Welcome to another bonus episode. Today Alex and Joe bring Adam back to discuss song lyrics. Poor Adam still hasn't figured out that if he doesn't want to be on the pod, he needs to stop coming up with episode ideas. Of course the brothers have a sneaking suspicion that he enjoys it. It is a longer episode than normal, so we hope that it is still an interesting discussion. Each person picked five songs. We do have a playlist so that you can listen to the songs we are discussing. Stupid laws that prevent us from just playing the songs for you on the episode. Of course then this episode would be twice as long... Spotify Playlist; https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1SvtRSNzH53zHhVBNRsKvN?si=gNRxTeOpToqWw7bUBMjLRQ&pi=BV22brU0QJaeY Our next regular episode will be at its regular time and day, the 5th at 5am. Alex and Joe will be discussing Use of Weapons by Iain M Banks. It is going to be a riveting conversation. So make sure to subscribe and get your notifications so that you don't miss it.

Welcome to our humble little podcast. Season one is rapidly coming to an end. This month is Alex's last pick! He gave Joe an easy one. The brothers buddy-read the lovely and epic children's novel The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. It is a book that Alex absolutely adores. One of those books that once he started reading, he couldn't put it down until he finished it in one sitting. Joe, he's a bit more cynical and wants more blood and glory in his readings, had a bit harder time getting through it. But even the black hearted older brother found some interesting topics that he couldn't stop yammering on. Next month is Joe's last pick. He picked the space opera epic from Iain M Banks to wrap the season up. We will all be reading the third Culture book, Use of Weapons. If you have never read the other books in the series, that is okay. This series is designed to be able to be read out of order. So give it a look. Please help us grow this podcast.

Today we have another fan recommendation! Sadly, it was a bit of a miss for Joe and Alex this time. Listen to how the brothers discuss how they are such book snobs that they couldn't get into something as interesting as a celebrity memoir. They do have a good time discussing it none the less. And they hope that they get more recommendations in the future. So don't feel shy giving us more books to read! Our next regularly scheduled book is going to be out June 5th. It is the children's book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo.
