  Ep 7: Alpha & Beta Readers (Author POV)

  Aug 19, 20261h 50mS1

  So you wanna be an alpha/beta reader? This episode delves into how authors define and utilize alpha and beta readers while they're drafting, and what we may expect, at least according to Lisa. She takes front and center for much of the conversation, as the one member who has published, while Kat and Trula (or the peanut gallery as they put it) add their thoughts. They'll weigh in when we talk about the same topics, but from the reader's POV! * Episode recorded pre-hiatus: February 2026 * Currently Reading Links: ⁠⁠Lisa's Books⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Trula's Books⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Kat's Books⁠ Sources/Links to check out: Literary Witches Oracle - Sandra Cisneros Slow Burn Bookshop (Slowburntn)

  Ep 6: We're Back & Talking Tea

  Aug 12, 20262h 11mS1

  WE'RE BACK!! We know, it's been months. Our bad. Honestly, life hit us hard and fast and we became a bunch of burnt out baddies, but we're finally back, and this week's episode is a catch up and a yap sesh while we get our shit together. We promise, if things start to go sideways again, we'll make sure not to drop off the face of the earth! Well...maybe. We hope. We appreciate you all for sticking around, and don't hesitate to drop us a line! We're always looking for feedback, books recs, and we f*cking love bookish tea!!K byeeee!! Currently Reading Links: ⁠Lisa's Books⁠ ⁠Trula's Books⁠ ⁠Kat's Books⁠ **DISCLAIMER** We discuss themes in this episode such as genocide, Zionists, antisemitism, etc. It is the official stance of Practically Bookish that persecution of any peoples is fundamentally wrong and never acceptable. The conversation surrounding these themes is nuanced and warrants a deeper perspective than any one of us is able to provide. Below are some links, articles, and site which you can learn more.

  Ep 5: Booksta, Booktok, & Their Impact

  Feb 18, 20262h 9mS1

  <p>Social media might be at the root of many of our problems, but we can't ignore its impact on reading and the bookish community as a whole. Prior to Booksta and Booktok's massive bookish kick off during ThE PaNiNi, Borders/Waldenbooks shut down (2011), Barnes and Noble was on the verge of bankruptcy (prior to 2019), and many independent book stores were on the verge of shutting down, or non-existent. </p><p>With the surge of readers during and after ThE PaNiNi, we've seen the bookish community explode, genres expand, and indie authors take full advantage of the opportunity.
