Über diesen Titel

It's a tale as old as time - Rachel, Ali, Jane, and Rachel all met in college, fell out of touch after graduating, and started a mini book club to stay in touch. Now, we want to invite all of you to join! Books can be a way to escape, to better understand each other, to laugh, and to cry your eyes out. We love to read, but we love to talk about what we're reading just as much.


In each episode we'll talk through the entirety of a book (spoilers included!). We'll discuss our fave moments, hot takes, and ultimately, whether we'd read it again. We each have our own favorite genre and won't limit our picks to one in particular. We have so much fun talking about these books, we hope you enjoy it too!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Monsters We Defy book blurb:

    A woman able to communicate with spirits must assemble a ragtag crew to pull off a daring heist to save her community in this timely and dazzling historical fantasy that weaves together African American folk magic, history, and romance.


    In the summer of 1925, along Washington, DC’s “Black Broadway”, a malevolent entity has begun preying on Negro residents. Twenty-three-year-old Clara Johnson is determined to discover what’s going on in her community. Using her natural ability to talk with spirits, she begins to investigate, but a powerful spirit tasks her with a difficult quest: steal an ancient, magical ring from the finger of a wealthy socialite.


    When Clara meets Israel Lee, a supernaturally enhanced jazz musician also vying for the ring, the two decide to work together. They put together an unlikely team including a former circus freak, a pickpocketing Pullman Porter, and an aging vaudeville actor to pull off an impossible heist.


    But a dangerous spirit interferes at every turn and conflict in the spirit world is leaking out into the human world. With different agendas, even if Clara and Israel pull off the heist, only one of them can truly win.

  • Episode 33: The Memory Police
    Dec 21 2025

    The FULL EPISODE is here!


    It feels more than right to read a dystopian lit fic right now, given the state of the world. And this one is a doozy - we talk a lot about the fact we don't recommend reading this alone. There's a lot to unpack, and it reminds us that it's important to have friends close by to lean on for memories, insight into what the heck the author means, and in case you're feeling like abandoning your novel. We will talk about all that in more in our episode on The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Grab a warm beverage and take a listen. Have your own thoughts? Let us know! Submit a footnote!


    For more bookish content, check us out on instagram @bookedonsundayspod, on tiktok @bookedonsundays, and on substack @bookdonsundays. That is a wrap on Season 3, thank you so much for reading with us and listening to our many many words! We will catch up with you next year for Season 4! In the meantime, don't forget to book your Sundays!


    The Memory Police book blurb:

    On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses—until things become much more serious. Most of the island's inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten.


    When a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger from the Memory Police, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards. As fear and loss close in around them, they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past.


    A surreal, provocative fable about the power of memory and the trauma of loss, The Memory Police is a stunning new work from one of the most exciting contemporary authors writing in any language.
