Sisters Haley, the mind behind Brooke & Binding reviews, and Maddy, upcoming debut author, discuss books - but not just reviews! They look at the various methods behind reading, what makes the best book, how to become a reader, what being a writer is all about, and anything else related to literature. Their humor, thought-provoking ideas, and passion for the subject draws in even the most novice of readers for an audio-only exploration of books. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spoti ...

Sisters Smokes and Stories...Get high on tales with us! This podcast is not a true literary review of books, this is a lighthearted, and hopefully funny, look at popular books to help us dive into worlds of make believe. We enhance this conversation with recreational herbal refreshment while recreating the scenes and our reactions. Imagine a ”Drunk History” but more ”High Fantasy.” Hope you enjoy!
