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
First Down (ft. I Can See You)
The book that got me out of a reading slump💚 This is a debut novel for Grace Reilly and there will be a total of four books in her “Beyond the Play” series; all of which follow different sports and siblings of the Callahan family (all of which will be getting their own episodes as they come out). First Down is a college, fake dating romance that tells the story of James and Bex. They came together naturally as “friends” then quickly as a fake couple in a mutual arrangement to get Bex’s ex off her back and for superstar QB, James, to get the help he needs to pass his writing class. It’s a book that reels you in from the very beginning and keeps you hooked until the end.
If you can’t handle the spice, then stay away from this episode because Grace Reilly is a SPICE. AUTHOR. Definitely a PG-13 rated book but I’ll tone it down for the younger audience on this podcast. If you know anything about me, I love smut. I’ll read it all damn day long. This book reminded me too much of one of my favorite vault tracks from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). We all remember hearing that one, sultry lyric for the first time with our jaws dropped; at this point in her career, we had no idea Taylor had a spicy side and eleven years later, she is spilling the tea. This episode is a full book review (with and without spoilers, you know the drill) plus a lyrical AND music video break down of “I Can See You” from the vault. 👀
