  • The Goaliest Goal | New Year Reading Goals

    The Goaliest Goal | New Year Reading Goals
    Jan 6 2026
    Ah the new year. Previous years have taught us to approach with caution. And we will. Except for books. This episode covers our reading goals, how we're approaching sifting through our TBRs (spoiler alert, we're both so mean to our To Be Read lists but we are at least sorry about that), and reading slump busters we're excited to try when those slumps inevitably hit. If you'd like your own TBR Scratch Off tickets, here's our affiliate link. Bibliophage is an Airwave Media podcast. To advertise on this podcast please email advertising@airwavemedia.com. Don't forget to pre-order Gwenna's new book Thinky Thoughts out in April. And finally the expanded show notes are available on BibliophageBooks.com.

  • New Year, New TBR | Bibliophage Book Club

    New Year, New TBR | Bibliophage Book Club
    Dec 30 2025
    Welcome to the official announcement of the first ever Bibliophage Book Club. We've created a list of books to read and discuss together! We tried to create a list of twelve books to read together but Jennifer and Gwenna couldn't actually agree on a dozen titles. Instead, they each picked six they get to force the other to read and you're invited to the petty party. And since we devour books for the whole family on Bibliophage, of course we couldn't let the young reader recs out. The companion Middle Grade list is included in this episode while the matching Read To Me/Read With Me list is over on our website, bibliophagebooks.com. If you'd like to purchase the books we're reading for Bibliophage Book Club, please consider using our Bookshop.Org shop link. Purchases made from this link support the author, this podcast, and independently owned bookstores. For the full list and expanded show notes visit Bibliophagebooks.com.

    Cramped Christmases & Krampus | Untangled
    Dec 16 2025
    Alright. Fine. We'll talk about Christmas and winter holiday books. But we'll cover some less than traditional Christmas tales while doing it. From creepy Christmas creatures to stories of folks only barely surviving the holidays (and sometimes not surviving at all). From talking foxes at midwinter to Victorian orphans fighting evil toys, there's a cramped Christmas book for everyone. Be sure to check out our brand new website BibliophageBooks.com for full show notes and bonus content (when available.) Gwenna's newest book, Thinky Thoughts come out in April and you can pre-order that everywhere you buy your favorite books. Bibliophage is proud to be an Airwave Media podcast.
