Let's be honest, friends: In the midst of a pandemic, some of us are struggling with our favorite pastime. Even Amy and Erin.\\xa0

So this week, we're talking about how reading became difficult during the first weeks of quarantine, and how we've slowly returned to loving books. We've got picks that helped us, and might help you too.\\xa0

Don't forget to marvel at the source of this week's episode title, "I'm Still Standing," by Elton John.\\xa0

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.
