Welcome one and all. This month we have a wild adventure story to bring to you. Alex chose the forgotten classic, The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. A story of several old wizards fighting an old evil across a strange land oddly similar to our world, but at the same time oddly different.

Next month Joe picked a mythical tale of blood and gore. Join the brothers in reading the classic Irish story of Cu Chulainn in The Tain as translated by Ciaran Carson.

Welcome to Bookworms. Today Alex and Joe have a very special guest to talk about a hilarious yet worrying book. Haley, resident of Grafton, has joined the brothers to talk about A Libertarian Walks into a Bear by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. In this discussion, the three try to stop laughing long enough to discuss what it really is like to live in the small New Hampshire town since the Free-Staters have left their mark.

Welcome to Bookworms! This month the brothers discuss Joe's first pick of the season. The book that they discussed was Alice by Christina Henry. Alex thought it was just okay, but Joe worked his voodoo and talked Alex into thinking it was an alright book after all. An increase in a whole half star in Alex's rating.

If you want to hear how Joe did that, then please give it a listen. We promise that you won't be disappointed. Just a warning, this book is graphically violent and both brothers discuss some unsavory topics. So if you have anyone under age with you, probably best to put the earbuds in.

Next month Alex picked another oldie but goodie. And not to be outdone in the fantasy realm either. For the month of November, we will be reading The Face in the Frost by John Bellairs. So pull up your boot straps and get ready for an adventure with two crotchety old men.

Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.

Welcome to our first bonus episode of the season. This month, Becky was kind enough to discuss an interesting book that she had recently read called Chasing Shadows by Gregory Skomal.

This is an interesting book on the history of studying sharks. Specifically the "Great" White Shark off of the coast of New England. Becky and Joe only hit the high points, so totally go out and check this book out. It is worth the read if you are into science and ocean life.

Joe's first pick of the season is going to be Alice by Christina Henry. That is going to be out on October 5th at 5 AM Eastern time. So be sure to put it down in your calendar so you don't forget.

Welcome to the first episode of season 2! Alex may have picked a difficult one to start off with, but both brothers are excited to get back into the swing of things. And this first one was a doozy.

Alex picked the book, An American Dream by Norman Mailer. Mailer was one of the greats in the 60's and 70's but in these times has kind of fallen off the map of being read. Alex and Joe discuss why this is and if it is justified.

Just a little warning, this book is graphic and both brothers refused to pull any punches when talking about the topics of murder, rape, and incest. You have been warned.

Next month, Joe's pick will be Alice by Christina Henry. It is going to be another very graphic book. But Joe thinks it is well worth the rough start in reading along with both of them for the start of season 2. There is also going to be a bonus episode this month. Becky was kind enough to sit down with Joe and discuss an interesting book that she had just read. So keep your eyes peeled for that.

And on the topic of Becky. We would like to thank her for updating our logo for this knew season. So if you get the chance let her know what you think of the color updates.

Alex and Joe meet up one final time to talk about how their first season went. They go over some of their favorite books and moments and play a couple of little quizzes with each other. Joe runs the stats and makes a plea for people to become more engaged with the podcast. The brothers also make their announcement for the upcoming season.

We are looking for ideas and help for bonus episodes. So if anyone would like to be a part of the podcast, has a friend or acquaintance that is an author, or has a book recommendation, please reach out. Email and other links will be below.

Season two will start right off next month, September 5th. Alex has first choice again thanks to Joe's generosity. Alex has picked An American Dream by Norman Mailer. One of those "lost" classics that many hardcore writers and literary people know about, but the general public has largely forgotten.

No bonus book this month. Letting the brothers take a break and get caught up in their other books. With that said, Joe did bring up the question of, would people want to read book reviews and other articles that we write? And is there a preferred webpage that people would like to see that content? Joe has done some digging into Patreon, Substack and Medium, and any input would be appreciated.

Our final Bonus Episode of Season 1! We made it people. Thank you to all of those people that have stuck with us since the get go. Alex and Joe hope that you have enjoyed the show thus far. And hopefully you all enjoy this special episode that we put together.

This book is different. Alex read House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Be careful reading this book. It could drive you mad. This is definitely a one of a kind book. Written in a way that has never been done before and probably never be seen again. Listen to Alex describe to Joe the journey into madness that he took, and how he was able to make it out alive. Or did he?

Just a reminder. No reading assignment for next month. Alex and Joe will have a wrap up episode on the 5th though. Make sure to listen as we will discuss some fun things about Season 1 and give an update for Season 2. That's right, you read that right. We will be coming back after a short break with more book discussions. We have already started reading and recording episodes. So make sure to tune in and find out what to expect for the coming months.
