What if we told you we recorded two book club episodes in a week? Would that be okay? Would that even be possible? Is it even legal?

Wait, but then how do you build up a massive backlog to tackle together on your podcast?

IGN @ign.com · 4d

According to Circana, over 60% of gamers in the United States now buy two or fewer games per year as more shift focus to free-to-play titles like Fortnite.

Desperately need @novelgamingpod.bsky.social's thoughts on this

Emily C. Hughes @emilyhughes.bsky.social · 10d

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."
