No Thanks We're Booked

We're so thrilled to get to talk to Keiko Agena, artist, actress, and author of No Mistakes: A Perfect Workbook for Imperfect Artists. Keiko is best known for her role as Lane Kim on the TV show Gilmore Girls, which just so happens to be a favorite show of ours! We loved diving into what makes this workbook/creative journal so special, and how Keiko Agena encourages people to put aside pressures of perfection to embrace beautifully flawed art!

In today's episode, we chat with Julie from A Girl and a Book all about what it's like to move across the country, our favorite books that have a big move or road trip plot, and a lot of other bookish things, like insta love in books, the idea of book flights, DNFing books, and much, much more. 

This may be our favorite episode YET! Today, Mollie and Katie have a delightful conversation with Rosie Walsh, the debut author of Ghosted (released last week in the US). Rosie was a joy to speak with: articulate, insightful, and warm - much like the book she wrote. We learn all sorts of things about her experience writing Ghosted, we all share the craziest stories of ghosting we’ve ever heard, and we even get to hear a little about Rosie’s next book. We think you’ll find Rosie JUST as delightful as w

In today’s Episode we talk about small world moments, how they differ from serendipitous encounters, and how sometimes they can be a little bit of both. We give small world examples from our own lives and we share some of the stories we received from YOU, our lovely listeners. As per usual, we talk about the books we’ve been reading (spoiler alert, we were still in the middle of reading slumps while recording this episode), and we ALSO discuss books we think haven’t gotten the attention they deserve.

In today's episode, we talk about all our favorite books so far in 2018, whether rereads "count" as favorites, and whether the reading experience can be just as good as the book itself. We drop some amazing middle grade titles, some classics (let's be real—this is all Katie), and gush about how wonderful you all have been since we launched the podcast.

In today's episode, we're talking about all things reading slumps—and how we get out of them. We also chat about starting our BookTube channels and some of our challenges/fears with that bookish adventure! 

In today's episode, we're talking about all our favorites: books, clothing brands, recipes, drinks, moments, etc. As always, we talk about the books we're currently reading and the life we're currently loving!

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie talk about how our reading has been slow, but good, what author we’d like to go on a tropical besties vacay with, and how Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River is full of boundless wisdom. We also ponder the question: do you have to love your job? Very existential of us.

In today's episode, we chat about our reader identities as kids, reluctant readers, why and how we kept diaries growing up, our favorite/first books we loved as kids, and so much more! Drop us a line at nothankswerebooked@gmail.com to tell us what you were like as a little reader!

Welcome to Episode 2! Today Mollie and Katie attempt to explain the enneagram, complete with bookish characters for each of the nine types. We are upfront with the disclaimer that we are NOT enneagram experts. We just love it and its use as tool to help us grow. It’s also a great vehicle through which to make fun of ourselves, which we do a lot. Come join us in our self-deprecation!

WE'RE SO EXCITED! Welcome to Episode 0, No Thanks We're Booked—the bookish and not-so-bookish podcast! We talk about all the things here, usually with a Moscow Mule in hand.
