It looks like we’re all going to be spending a lot of time indoors over the next few months, so we thought it was a good time to round up some recent book-to-movie or -TV adaptations that you can stream at home. Plus, we included some classic adaptations that you might have missed the first time around. Happy reading watching!

This week, Gayle and Nicole share their favorite books about female friendships. We mention books that explore various themes, including: dealing with the death of a best friend, competitive female friendships, the impact of toxic childhood friendships, and even a book about a girl’s friendship with a slave she was gifted on her 11th birthday. Links and information on the books mentioned http://thereaderlyreport.com/2020/12/02/all-our-favorite-books-on-female-friendships/ (can be found on our website).
We talk to Katie Bassel, Senior Publicity Manager at https://us.macmillan.com/smp/ (St. Martin's Press), about how marketing books has changed in the last few months. We cover book tours, galleys, reader preferences, #BlackLivesMatter and what's selling these days.

Gayle and Nicole are sooo close to episode 100, but they needed one more week to prepare. So they recorded Episode 99.5, in which they share a list of backlist books that they have been meaning to read and that are lingering on their shelves, but that keep getting passed over for no good reason. They commit to reading them sometime in the next 100 episodes! If you’ve read them, let them know whether they should be on their TBRs, and in what order?

We also discuss where the expression “the old college try” came from, announce a fun giveaway for our podcast listeners (calling all Jojo Moyes fans!) and check in on our (non)progress on our 2019 reading challenges.

Gayle and Nicole chat with Siobhan Jones, Editorial Director at https://www.bookofthemonth.com/ (Book of the Month), about how BOTM has transformed the reading community.

If you’ve wanted to go behind the scenes at BOTM, this is the episode for you. Read our http://thereaderlyreport.com/2019/05/02/behind-the-scenes-at-book-of-the-month-with-siobhan-jones/ (full show notes here).

They also share some backlist love for Nelly Allard and Scott Spencer. Get the full scoop in http://thereaderlyreport.com/2019/04/25/where-the-men-are-the-male-authors-we-love/ (our show notes)!
On this episode of The Readerly Report podcast, Gayle and Nicole talk about the myth (?) of the sophomore writing slump and our admiration for authors who can write a book while doing another job. We also talk backlist love and hold our book club discussion about The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker. We thought this would be a short-ish show, but it turns out that we had a lot to say!

It’s the end of March, so Gayle and Nicole take stock of the reading they’ve done so far this year, now that it’s one-quarter over. They also check in on various reading challenges and see how those are coming along. They are at Round 3 of the March Book Madness competition! We narrow our matchups down to the final two. Who will win? [Halfway through the show, they also held their book club discussion about Michelle Obama’s memoir, https://amzn.to/2FyG1mJ (Becoming), one of their favorite books of the year. They talk about how the book was written, the stories and images we found most memorable, our favorite section, and whether Michelle’s book changed our opinions of Barack.

We are so excited to announce the first ever Readerly Report March Book Madness competition! Here’s how this works: It’s March, so we’re all thinking about bracket competitions, close calls and eliminations. We’ve started out the Readerly Report bracket with 16 books of fiction – each of which we’ve both read – and we’re going to be putting these books head to head while we whittle the 16 down to the best book that we’ve both read. Over three episodes of the Readerly Report podcast, we’ll discuss the merits of the competing books and decide the victor. Here are the criteria by which we’re judging the books: 1) was it an engrossing reading experience all the way through?; 2) was the subject matter relevant and timely?; and 3) has the book held up over time since we read it, and do we think it will continue to do so? We want to hear what you think! Please comment on the blog, Facebook, Facebook Group, Instagram, etc. and let us know if we got it right – or if you think we let the wrong books advance.

Gayle shocks Nicole with 1) trading a book on the Ashley Spivey Book Club group, and 2) reading a book before its release date.

Gayle and Nicole endeavor to recommend the best big books to read over the upcoming holiday season and get stopped up by the philosophical considerations they take when considering a big book. Why read? Pleasure of accomplishment? They want the ones that are thoroughly engrossing and hard to put down, but find psychological blocks in committing to starting a long book. Gayle discusses her yearly reading goal and the opportunity cost of reading big books, and they both agree that it's super easy to prioritize the shorter books before settling down with a tome. Plus, what they're reading and Gayle's rundown of Curtis Sittenfeld's novels-which ones to read, and which ones to skip.

Jane Austen is dead and we can’t get Pride & Prejudice back. Gayle is in her feelings about our current read, Katherine J. Chen’s Mary B.
