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
Nothing like the Movies (ft. Haunted)
Welcome back, silly little love lovers to the sequel episode from last week - Nothing like the Movies by Lynn Painter 💜 I loved these books so much, and I hope someday in the lifetime of this podcast, we get the chance to talk about these books as movies but for now, we can at least admire their love story by reading it. One of my favorite things in a book is dual POV; you all know how much I looooove dual POV. Liz was the silly little love lover in Better than the Movies, but Wes Bennet turning into a hopeless romantic was not on my 2024 reading bingo card. 😂
I already talked a little bit about Liz & Wes in last week’s episode, but today we are really going to talk about their second chance love story and a little bit more about them as characters and how they developed from the first book. Then we will listen to some of the songs that I love, where they’re mentioned in the book & pick out a few of my favorite lyrics that fit Wes & Liz the best. (Some of the bonus songs are: I Love You I’m Sorry by Gracie Abrams, Still by Niall Horan, another Taylor song that is placed perfectly which is Illicit Affairs, and I’m sorry but another Taylor Swift song that is mentioned in both book which is New Year’s Day.) Holding on the memories of WES + LIZ. 🍿🎶
