Death by a Thousand Books
Welcome to Death by a Thousand Books podcast!💘
Every episode starts with a book review and ends with a Taylor Swift song. It’s a podcast for book lovers, Swifties and everyone in between. Together, we deep dive into characters, plots and the best moments from our favorite books. Then I use my swiftie power to breakdown songs & lyrics that I think would fit that book best. For any newbies who are just getting into reading, this podcast might be the perfect place to start your tbr! (and if you don’t know what a tbr is, don’t worry you’ll get there).
Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or just tuning in, I’m happy you’re here!! I started this podcast because I could talk for hours endlessly about two things: books & Taylor Swift. So I found a way to combine my love for both. I have always wanted to be a part of the book community but had no idea where to start. If even just one person picks up a new book after listening to one of these episodes, I’ll be happy. It’s been such a fun experience reading & recording these episodes, releasing them and finding those people that geek out over this idea as much as I do.🤓

Death by a Thousand Books
The Barbie Movie (ft. The Man)
“It is the best day ever! So was yesterday, and so is tomorrow, and every day from now until forever!” That is becauseee we’re doing a crossover episode that is completely unmatched by any other! The fact that The Man isn’t on the Barbie soundtrack is honestly a crime. This song and movie represent each other perfectly in the world of double standards for women in society. To set the record straight: we aren’t going to drill feminism into your brain in this episode.
Barbie is the film of the summer, hands down - something about it is so nostalgic & strategic at the same time. It puts a new twist on some of our favorite childhood memories growing up with Barbie (and Polly Pockets). We had so much fun talking about everything associated with this movie! Seeing the characters in the film and the outfits of the press tour mirror actual dolls from decades ago makes us believe that Greta Gerwik is actually a mastermind. We want to talk about some of the laugh-out-loud moments, our thoughts on casting and the overall production of the film. We wanted to pair it with the Lover era & The Man because they share a similar message. In the second half of this episode, we attempt to breakdown all of the easter eggs hidden in The Man music video, (and there are so much more than you realize) including the iconic graffiti wall that is tied to the order of Taylor Swift’s rerecording. It wouldn’t be a complete episode if we didn’t talk about Karma the missing album… So much information packed into one 30-minute episode, we hope you enjoy it! #noscootersallowed
"A man does something, it's 'strategic'; a woman does the same thing, it's 'calculated.' A man is allowed to 'react'; a woman can only 'over-react.'" - Taylor Swift
