Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the second half of November’s book, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison (from page 108 — the chapter beginning “SEEMOTHERMOTHERISVERYNICE” to the end” if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll read the first half of a book together (that I've never read) and then I'll share my thoughts in part 1 of the podcast published on the second Friday of the month. And then in part 2 (published on the last Friday of the month), I'll discuss the second half of the book (in this case from ch.7 to the end). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for December is Dune by Frank Herbert (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first podcast will be on 10th December. Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content Warning: There are adult themes in the novel (racism, sexual abuse). I have removed any swear words from dialogue. Please check the content of the novel before listening to the podcast.
