Behind the Books: Recent Episodes
Lily and Lina
Welcome to Behind the Books with Lily and Lina, where we chat about all things book related! New Episodes are out every Friday!
This week, Lina discusses how she finished her first book and shares all the advice she'd wish she'd had at the very start of this project. Both practical and more craft-driven advice is shared, as well as many anecdotes from writing the first draft of her newest book? Listening on Apple Podcasts? Write us a review!

Welcome to Behind the Books Podcast: Season 2! We're excited to be starting off a near year and a new season; a big thanks to everyone who supported us last year and we're looking forward to bringing you even better content this year. Another quick announcement: we're returning to uploading an episode every second Friday instead of every week. Without further ado, welcome to the first episode of the new season. This week, we look back at 2021 as a reading year and share our Goodreads Year in Books, as well as look forward to the new year. We discuss reading resolutions we have for 2022 and how we hope to achieve that. Listening on Apple Podcasts? Write a review! Let's be friends! 💌 https://linktr.ee/behindthebooksclub

This week, we found a way to turn a 200 page book into an in-depth fifty minute discussion, looking at the iconic We Were Liars by E. Lockhart.

In the spoiler section (27:00—46:55) we’ll discuss our expectations and opinions on the big twist, character development and different plot points.
