Bonus Episode: Double Booked with @gilmoreguide (A New Podcast Series for Patrons)
Episode description
Today, we’re bringing you a sneak peek of a new podcast series for patrons!
Double Booked is a monthly series where a co-host (Catherine of Gilmore Guide to Books and Susie from Novel Visits will alternate months) and I will each share our own book recommendations in the same format as the big show (2 old books we love, 2 new books we love, 1 book we didn’t love, and 1 upcoming release we’re excited about).
Moving forward, these episodes will be available to “Superstars” patrons for $7 / month (join here).

Announcements- Along with this Double Booked bonus episode series, “Superstars” patrons will get:
- My 2022 Rock Your Reading Tracker (normally $14.99)
- Summer Reading Guide Supplement (additional summer reading recommendations from patrons and hopefully previous podcast guests).
- Everything in the “Stars” tier ($5 /month)
- Our ongoing search for the right word to replace “love” when talking about books that deal with really tough topics.
- A chance in Catherine’s reading preferences.
- If there should be a word count limit on book titles.
- The fiction trend Catherine is sick of.
