Happily Booked: A Bookcast
This is the podcast where two 'kindred spirits' believe that the pursuit of happiness is the same thing as reading a good book and being able to talk about it!This is the 45-minute to an hour-long podcast show where the two hostesses will discuss...books! They will talk about what they have read recently, whether they have enjoyed those books or not, what they are currently reading, what they hope to get into next, and other hobbies such as knitting and crocheting! A little bit of "life" talk may pop in and out of these episodes, perhaps even a guest or two will appear, but whatever occurs Brooke and Becky can be counted on to discuss one subject for sure, making this show their "bookcast"!

Hey everybody!
We are so glad you're here! And we are even more glad if you read along with us! Did you love this spooky, disturbing, insane story like we did? Grady Hendrix is a fantastic author. There are A LOT of crazy things (and gore-filled things) that happen during this story. We actually decided it was more gruesome than The Wolf And The Woodsman by Ava Reid, which both of us read back in the first season ...
Hello to all of our dear Kindred Spirits! We are so happy you are here.
Although Becky and the girls did not drive to Brooke's house for this recording, they were able to record over a phone call and had a very successful time! No technical difficulties, they were both in such good moods! I don't know why i'm talking in the 3rd person! Let us know if you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed recording...
Hello everyone!
Thanks again for joining us. This was a very enjoyable episode that we recorded. Even if you can't see the time difference, when Becky and I go a while without catching up on what we're reading, we just don't know what to do with ourselves! Then, when we get the chance to catch up, it always feels wonderfully refreshing! We just enjoy talking about books together and are so blessed to ha...
Hi everyone! Just Brooker here today for this short little episode! Well...Stetson may or may not step in and out of the show as well. You know, he's too busy to just stick around. I do hope you enjoyed listening to his sweet little voice, and I hope it brightened your day!
I recorded this episode minus Becky Boo because we attempted a last-minute, very sudden episode, and come the end of the episode, BROOKE NEVER...

Hey friends!
Welcome back, and thank you for listening. This episode was a fun one to record. We were in person again after several weeks of phone call recordings, so it was nice to catch up. There were a lot of books to haul as well in this one. If any of the books hauled were any you have read yourself, be sure to let us know your thoughts and opinions on them!
We had some fun moments where THE Sideways Sheriff snuc...

Hey friends, welcome back! We had fun finally getting a good catch up episode on what we read recorded. We hope you enjoy listening.

Hello friends!
It's been far too long since we have posted an episode. We are so sorry! Our goal for season 3 was to begin posting video episodes because that would be so fun! Alas, figuring out how to video edit on your own, with zero experience, is actually sort of difficult for us! So we decided to record and post this episode in the middle of the year as our first audio episode! Wish us luck with learning to e...
