Welcome to Reading for Attention, a weekly podcast where we - bezzy mates Paul and Sarah - ‘discuss’ newly-released books, laugh at our own jokes and overuse the words ‘clever’ and ‘interesting’. This podcast is made for people who like reading on the train, in café windows, sometimes even aloud.Each week we’ll let you know the book we’ve chosen and, more importantly, which drink we think pairs nicely with the prose (which is a fancy way of saying – we want to get a bit pissed and feel really intellectual whilst we do). Make sure to tune in every Friday for some gossip, lols and lots of attention seeking. Oh, and a bit of book chat too if you’re lucky.If you have any requests, complaints, pictures of people reading for attention or messages of adoration send them to us at readingforattention@gmail.com or head to our Instagram @Readingforattention.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Garbielle Zevin with Vodka Soda
<p>Well, well, well, if it isn't us us us and if we aren't reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. </p><p>As a special Hallowe'en treat, we finally managed (a month ago) to record an ep especially for you you you. Join us as we dive into the wonderfully weird world of video games and, more importantly, their creators. Zevin has really pulled it out ze bag for this one. </p><br><p>Also, Paul has the meat sweats from 8 courses of Greek food, and Sarah barely mentions the weather, so it's business as usual in the Reading for Attention studio (our flats), and isn't that just music to your gorgeous little lugs? </p><br><p>Anyway, love you. We'll be back soon with our correct opinions on Eliza Clark's hotly anticipated SOPHMORE novel, Penance. </p><br><p>Spooky songs and haunted hugs <3 </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Really Good, Actually by Monica Heisey with Chardonnay
<p>Guess what - we've finally bothered to record a pod! Aren't we just SO great? We're back with bang, talking about Monica Heisey's Really Good, Actually, and washing it down with a Chardonnay which is usually minging but every once in a while you find one that's really good, actually. Aside from that, we catch up with international travel maven, Sarah Jane Hopkins who has just returned from Mehico where she had a sexy run-in with the cartel. Fabulous. Paul then reads aloud from his mam's food diary which will one day win a Pulitzer prize. To be honest, we're not sure how it hasn't already.</p><br><p>It's good to be back, babies. MWAH x</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller with Greek Bloody Mary
<p>First things first! Paul, I'm sorry I haven't recorded a new intro yet. It's on the TDL babes. </p><p>Second things second! We're both really sorry about the sound qual of this one. It's poor. It's only cos we get too excited and start deepthroating our microphones, which we're sure you'll understand, and would do too if you were one half of an internationally famous, publicly, privately, and critically acclaimed podcast. </p><p>OK. This week we have read Madeline Miller's ancient (soz, 'new releases' now means anything from the last quarter-century obvy) retelling of an ancient myth, <em>The Song of Achilles. </em>If you haven't read this one, get ya tissues ready. It's a real t-jerker, and a total sole flasher. We wash it down with stories of gorgeous, gorgeous Benidorm and fond memories of small circles of bread with faux-prawns pasted atop. Oh, and a bloody mary. </p><p>We've missed you! Have you missed us? Of course you have. But fear not, once all the excitement around the biggest date in the Gregorian/Lunar/Julian/Mayan/etc. etc. calendar has dissipated in a big puff of multicoloured glitter (Eurovish, duh), we'll be BACK with a brand new ep where we say really intelligent things about Monica Heisey's <em>Really Good, Actually</em>. Until then, though, big snugs and snogs xxx</p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
