TBNT S07E04 | Coming Home and Going Away with Table for Two by Amor Towles
Table for Two is a story told in vignettes - Evelyn Ross drifts betwen cities, going from New York City to Chicago, then to Los Angeles. With every step she takes closer to home, she treads farther away away and finds herself in a constantly spiraling dialogue betwen her past, present, and future.
Exposited in seven points of view, the chain of storeis highlights the wit and dynamic penmanship of Amor Towles to craft the multi-faceted inner dialogue that goes on within people who are drifting and hoping to arrive into themselves.
We enjoyed this read and we hope you'll enjoy this episode!
Cheers booknerds!

TBNT x Aesop E03 | Unbound Voices: After the Aēsop Women's Library
Hello booknerds!
It's been 2 weeks since the Aēsop Women's Library and we had some time to gather our thoughts about it.
We got some special guests on board for this epsiode and we asked their thoughts on the Aēsop Women's Library 2024 that took place from 14-16 June at the Aēsop stores at The Exchange TRX and IOI City Mall, Putrajaya.
We have Shi Han, who is behind the fabulous Instagram account @human_edition (https://www.instagram.com/human_edition/).
Shi Han was brought on by Aēsop Malaysia to document and highlight the event and this is her first time at the Aēsop Women's Library! You can watch her videos over on her Instagram account and support her work!
We also invited some of our listeners over to the preview on the 13th of June at Aēsop TRX and you'll hear from Sook Kwan (@bookknots (https://www.instagram.com/bookknots/?hl=en)), Aishah (@aishah.reads (https://www.instagram.com/aishah.reads/)), Mahirah (@bymahirah (https://www.instagram.com/bymahirah/?hl=en)), and Xueh Wei (@readlahwei (https://www.instagram.com/readlahwei/)) on their thoughts and what they picked up from the Aēsop Women's Library!
We like to thank the man of the hour, Remy Wong, the Assistant Marketing Manager of Aēsop Malaysia, for the opportunity to partner with Aēsop for a second year. This has been an amazing journey and we cherish the memories and connections made.
If you missed the Aēsop Women's Library, we highly recommend that you listen to our first epsiode where we tell you about the books and head on over to a bookshop to pick the books up! There are so many amazing local women writers and your support goes a long way.
Thank you again to everyone who listened to our episodes and made this event a successful one!
