Episode 160 is another hodgepodge of writing updates, opinions and predictions. The key center answers the question, “If your life had a book title, what would it be?” You will be surprised to learn that people married for 40+ years came up with the same answer. Shocking! We also discuss the Cubs, Cinema Therapy, currentContinue reading “Squirrel”

Ennui
Episode 158: Our “word of the day” podcast theme continues with one of CC’s favorites: “ennui.” Everybody deals with it at sometime in their lives, but creative artists seem to wrestle with ennui like Heracles beating down Antaeus (google it, kids). We talk about our own struggles and come up with some hopefully helpful ideas.Continue reading “Ennui”
Implausible
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine’s Day week. For episode 156, we finally give in and hopelessly (or hopefully) pander for clicks by diving head first into the Taylor-Travis romance of the century (we obviously have no self respect). But we do things a little different here. We debate on the plausibility of their relationship,Continue reading “Implausible”
Ch-Ch-Changes
Episode 155 is one of Life’s Big Changes hitting home here at Two Moore Books. We’re talking graduation, marriage, children, and buying a house level of change. We’re both excited and feeling a deep sense of dread, but we’re also anxious to get going. The funny part of this story is how the hiring practicesContinue reading “Ch-Ch-Changes”
Romancing Your Writing
Episode 154 is about the passion in writing a romance book…or writing romance in your book. What’s the difference? We discuss how we were “programmed” from an early age and by society to write our respective flavors of romantic novels. We spoil “Romancing the Stone,” “The Lost City,” and the Marvel Universe movies. Also: shortContinue reading “Romancing Your Writing”
Love You Ten Thousand
The podcast/broadcast is back after a one week hiatus due to technical issues (now resolved), and we have a funny bookselling story. Not only did it make us laugh, but it confirmed that we are book nerds. We touched on one of the world’s most solitary professions that sits squarely in the public eye, andContinue reading “Love You Ten Thousand”
Here Comes 2024
Episode 150 comes to you from our brand new studio which we lovingly call the Dungeon of Doom.

Gremlins
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the three movies that our part of our Christmas tradition (Love Actually, Die Hard, Christmas Vacation). For Episode 148, we watched three movies that were homages (or parodies) of traditional Christmas movies: Elf, Gremlins, and Scrooged. We talked about what worked and didn’t work, and why theyContinue reading “Gremlins”
