A Few Things Get Lost in Translation from Podcast to Book

Sawbones: the Horrifying, Hilarious Road to Modern Medicine by Dr. Sydnee McElroy, Justin McElroy

January 3, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

So the question for this first review of 2021 was do I review the book I started (and finished) in 2021 first, or the one I started in 2020 and finished in 2021 first? I have decided to review Sawbones: The Book first, because I’m pretty sure I started 2020 with Will My Cate Eat My Eyeballs? (which I greatly enjoyed) and there are some strong similarities, both being medical in nature, as well as presented by an expert (one of the co-authors of Sawbones […]

Stay Sexy and Don't Get Murdered: The Definitive How To Guide by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

August 22, 2020 by Leedock 3 Comments

CBR12 BINGO: Debut This whole hermit lifestyle I have been living for the last five months has yielded a handful of healthy side effects. In an unprecedented turn of events, I have turned to walking as a quarantine-induced anxiety and stress reliever. My sister gave me her old FitBit and my non-athletic competitive spirit kicked in. I WILL get in at least 13,000-15,000 steps EVERY DAMN DAY. Those circles WILL BE closed. If I’m not feeling like slapping on a mask and braving the city sidewalks […]

Surprisingly Serious Truths from a Seriously Silly Guy

Vacationland by John Hodgman

February 12, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

John Hodgman is many things: Daily Show correspondent, a “PC”, podcast guest and host, internet judge, former literary agent, and generally droll New England weirdo. He wrote several books prior to  Vacationland, and all of those books were collections of “facts”. I say “facts”, as that is what he might say as well: Hodgman (with the help of Jonathan Coulton) created three full books of completely made-up facts that he presented as being VERY true. They are a weird delight, and sometimes they are correct, […]

It’s the Podcast but in Color!

The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy, Griffin McElroy, Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, Carey Pietsch

January 9, 2020 by plaidhamster 1 Comment

Ah TAZ, I can’t believe it’s only been a bit over a year since I finished the first arc. For those unfamiliar, The Adventure Zone podcast or, TAZ as it’s known to its fans, is the McElroy Brothers, (Justin, Travis and Griffin) and their father (Clint) playing D&D. The story they create in the first installment of the series, Here There Be Gerblins, is yer basic go-there-get-the-thing quest. Standard D&D stuff. That is a woefully reductive description of a storytelling experience that was so magical that I wish I could erase it out […]

Nasty Women Anthem & Memoir

Feminasty: The Complicated Woman's Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death by Erin Gibson

August 10, 2019 by teresaelectro 4 Comments

Jen and I read Erin Gibson’s fantastic book for the Two Heads Are Better Than One bingo square. Teresa: I’ve been a big fan of Erin Gibson from her podcast, Throwing Shade. I also attended her LA Festival of Books panel where she promoted this book. I was delighted beyond measure and regret holding off on a signed book. The audiobook version though was such a fun ride. Part feminist history, part humorous memoir, this book is a great way to discuss the darkest timeline […]
