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 Deal (ft. King of my Heart)
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: There are mentions and flashbacks throughout of rape and domestic violence, emotional abuse, like some really tough conversations. They are a big part of this book and I will be touching on these topics later in the episode, so please know that before reading this book or listening to this episode.
I think as the years pass, I realize how much of Reputation girlie I am🖤 I wasn’t initially until I went into my Reputation era in real life and then as I went through phases of other eras a little piece of Rep always was still a part of me. When you go through this era you stop caring what other people think and start doing things for you and I think that once you realize that and go through it, you never go back from it. I feel like that’s how I explain Rep as an album for Taylor Swift as well, and that’s also how I’m choosing to explain this book. Full episode breakdown ahead:
First topic of discussion has to be Garrett Graham bc I love my little world of book boyfriends and Garrett certainly made it onto my list🏒Then we get into Hannah and the trauma of her story and what she’s been through, and then we talk about Garrett AND Hannah and their relationship together and how/why I liked them as a couple. Notice I say “liked” not LOVED (I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars). So we’ll talk about it, what I liked, what I disliked. And I actually asked you guys to throw some of your questions at my on instagram so I incorporated some of them into the episode! And lastly, our song featured in today’s episode is from the Reputation album, it is called King of My Heart so I am really excited to talk about the lyrics and the parallels of it in comparison to the Deal by Elle Kennedy.
