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.🤓

The Rule Book (ft. How You Get the Girl)

July 28, 2024 • Cierra • Season 2 • Episode 3

Sarah Adams never lets me down.🩵 This book had all of my favorite things: second chance romance, enemies to lovers, fake dating, dual pov, spice, smut it's all there. It’s only lacking for me in very small elements of the book that as a reader, just dont work for me and I’ll get more into that with the spoilers. When I'm reading a book, I go into my own little world and I sometimes find it so difficult to separate book from real life. If you love Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, and are so smitten by their whirlwind romance, READ THIS BOOK. You won’t be disappointed. 🏈💍

The crossover for today’s episode takes us back to the 1989 era. I have always seen this song as a step-by-step explanation from a girls point of view of how to win her back when you’ve made a mistake. This is how a guy is supposed to be. It’s interesting to think about the sarcastic undertones in the words, but in this episode, we get into a lyrical deep dive and why “How You Get the Girl” reminds me of Nora and Derek.
