Sinopse
What is Eclectic Readers?We're a bookish podcast that reads a wide variety of books and discusses them. In our regular monthly episodes, we talk about what we're currently reading, a general bookish topic, and then discuss that month's book pick. We've set it up that way so that if you haven't read the book and don't want to be spoiled, or it's a book that you just aren't interested in (it happens, no shame!), you can still listen to the first half of the episode.We do announce the next month's book pick at the end of the episode, so if you read along with us, we would love for you to join in on the book's discussion through our social media pages! Our hashtag is #EclecticReaders and you can find us at:Twitter: @EclecticReadPod Litsy: @EclecticReadersGoodreads: Eclectic ReadersWe also have special author interview episodes, which are so much fun! Make sure to subcribe to us in Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app so you never miss an episode!The History of Eclectic ReadersThe Eclectic Readers started in 2009 as an IRL book club of three and has since grown to a group of 12 spread across the United States. From there, in 2015, four of us in the book club thought we'd give podcasting a try and have been going strong ever since! In each monthly episode, we base our main book discussion on that month's IRL book club pick.
