About This Podcast

Welcome to book club! At Read Between the Spines, we take book discussions one step further - we live them as characters ourselves. Through real-time reading, we invite listeners to participate in every moment with us. By sharing both the stories on the page and our personal journeys, we create a space where connection is facilitated through the power of storytelling.

Join us as we read, predict, and ponder stories. We encourage you to read with us! Each season covers a different book, consisting of episodes breaking down sections through the story. We do not read ahead until we have recorded our episode, resulting in spoiler free episodes if you have read the corresponding chapters of each episode.

Start reading the fantasy staple, The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World, or the epic science fiction, Project Hail Mary, and experience the adventure two-fold as you listen to your favorite book club podcast!

Season 3 coming soon - the gothic classic, Frankenstein.
