Hey there, fellow bookworms! Welcome to the Ghostreaders Podcast, where we dive deep into the enchanting realm of books. In this episode, aptly titled "All About Books," our hosts Michae and Quintell are ready to take you on a wild literary adventure filled with laughs, inspiration, and some serious bookish talk.
So, here's the scoop: Michae has a burning desire to write some spine-chilling horror and mind-bending sci-fi stories. The only catch? Those awesome ideas are still bouncing around in his head, yet to make it onto paper. Quintell, on the other hand, is all about the poetic magic. She'll have you swooning with her heartfelt verses.
But hold onto your bookmarks, folks! Michae spills the beans on his latest exciting project - "The Big Picture." It's a book showcasing his jaw-dropping photography, currently in the works and soon to hit the shelves.
Here's the thing we've discovered - sometimes, writing a book happens because of what you do, not necessarily because you set out to become an author. It's a way to establish your expertise and, hey, maybe make a buck or two by selling your literary masterpiece.
Now, let's get real. It's downright weird and funny when grown-ups talk to kids in the third person. Seriously, who does that? We'll be sharing some hilarious anecdotes and scratching our heads about this quirk of human behavior.
Quintell is all ears when it comes to writing a series. How do authors do it? We'll be exploring the creative process behind this beloved form of storytelling. And, hold onto your bookmarks again, because Michae and Quintell get into a heated debate about whether a speaker or coach should narrate their own books. Can you imagine Ben Stein giving life to a scene from 'Oz'? It's a wild idea that gets us cracking up!
We'll also be diving into the age-old battle of narration versus reading. What's the deal with audiobooks? Do they compare to the good ol' printed page? We'll give you the inside scoop.
Of course, we can't forget the book recommendations! Michae spills the beans on his current read, 'The Color of Money - Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap.' Quintell just finished 'The Power of the Decree,' and they'll be dishing out their thoughts on these thought-provoking reads.
But wait, there's more! Ever wonder what it's like to be summoned for jury duty? Michae confesses that he's actually never experienced it, and we'll be discussing the ins and outs of the legal system and the joys (or not-so-joys) of civic duty.
And finally, Michae shares a few more recent reads. He's been devouring Come As You Are: Revised and Updated: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life 'Come As You Are' and Good Stocks Cheap: Value Investing with Confidence for a Lifetime of Stock Market Outperformance 'Good Stocks Cheap.' We'll be debating the books that absolutely need to be physically owned, because there's just something magical about holding them in your hands.
Oh, and before we wrap up, Michae has a wild tale to share. It involves him using a little something called "verbal judo" to gracefully escape a sticky situation. Trust us, it's a story you won't want to miss!
So grab a cup of coffee, snuggle up, and join us on the Ghostreaders Podcast as we celebrate the love of books, share our literary adventures, and have a great time discussing all things written word. Let's get lost in the pages together!
