Book Squad Goals

Looking for a book club but don't have time to squeeze real-life meetings into your schedule? Join Book Squad Goals, a bi-weekly podcast about—you guessed it—books, plus all the garbage pop culture we consume when we’re not reading (that’s what our “othersodes” are for!). While you’re paying attention, check out our website & blog at booksquadgoals.com, where we have weekly posts about books, pop culture, and probably our pets. We love our pets.

Othersode #14: The Glitch Just Typed! / Unfriended

Join the #Squad on a deep dive into the world of cyberbullying and spooky Internet things as we discuss the 2014 film ‘Unfriended.’ We talk about how well the movie’s conceit is working, why Blaire is kind of terrible, and the scariest parts of the story (The glitch just typed!). After that, take the “Who is Your Bookish Boyfriend?” quiz with us and find out about your literary lover. Plus, what’s coming up on our next fullpisode: ‘Station Eleven’ by Emily St. John Mandel. Don’t forget to check out the #BookSquadBlog for extra content, and rate and review us on Apple podcasts!
