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
A Court of Thorns & Roses (ft. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?)
Who’s afraid of little old Feyre?? AMARANTHA SHOULD BE.⚔️ I am officially in my fantasy era by starting this series, but still living forever in my romance era because these books are still romance heavy (and breaking the spicy pepper scale).🌶️ I never expected to love this series so much. Now I'm 3 books deep, living in the magical world of Prythean and adding phrases like "by the Cauldron!" in my daily life. When I tell people how good this series is and they say, "oh I don’t read fantasy." My response is neither do I. I haven’t read a fantasy book since Twilight in fifth grade, so I wouldn’t tell you as a non-fantasy reader that it was good if it wasn’t and I’m so glad that I started with it to get me to try something.
This episode is an introductory course into fantasy and Prythen. I call it "ACOTAR for Dummies." I talk a lot about the characters and the plot, while also giving you some of my opinion on the first book (trying to be as unbias as possible since I've read the next two books in the series) and of course, listen & sing along to an incredibly dramatic song from the Tourtured Poets department. It is THE LONGEST episode in DBATB history and a DOUBLE DROP with the second book, so thank you as always for tuning in.🫶🏼
