About The Bookish Hour

Your new literary podcast! We talk about all things BOOKS, in all genres; romance, fantasy, thrillers, romatasy, mystery, dark academia, book recommendations, our favorite books (and our least favorite books) buddy reads (that hopefully you want to join along in), bookstagram/booktok with the drama that comes with it and lots interviews with people in the book world.

If you read for the ache—the almost, the pause, the swallow—t...

   Margin Notes: Bookish Catch Up

   We’re catching up for the first time in months and trading the curated feed for the full picture—Sicily’s stunning balconies and overflowing bins, the bliss of a 10-person dinner over a dance floor, and the $400 logo lesson that pushed us to own our brand instead of renting one. Then we go inside the platforms: shifting Instagram aesthetics, making your own handwriting into a font, and choosing to treat the grid like a scrapbook instead of a scoreboard. On TikTok, the plan is simple and hard...
