Anime Degens Ep. 145: The Anime Degen's Book Club: Part 1!
Season 3, Ep. 145
•
Nom & Tyler are back with a brand-new segment we’ve teased a few times: The Anime Degens Book Club!
In this series, we’ll each nominate a few “books”.... and we’re using that word loosely. It can be manga, light novels, webcomics, manhwa, or anything else in the anime-adjacent world. We’ll talk about what each pick is and why we chose it, then we’ll both read a couple chapters from our own nominations to get a solid first impression.
On top of that, we’re also picking one of our nominations for the other host to read. In the next Book Club episode, we’ll come back and share what we thought: what we thought about them, which one was our favorite, and whether we plan to keep reading it.
We also want YOU involved! Maybe you vote on which title we should continue reading in part 2, or maybe you submit your own recommendations for us to try? If you’ve got fun ideas for how the community can be part of the Book Club, let us know.... we’d love to include you somehow!
As always, let us know in the comments on YouTube or Spotify, on social media, or best of all.... in our Discord! Have you read any of these picks before? Did you like them? Do you think we chose the right book for the other host? If not, which of the three would you have picked for us?
And feel free to read along with us! Drop any questions you have or topics you’d like us to discuss about these specific books... We’d love to include your thoughts in the next Book Club episode!
P.S. Like we mentioned in the episode, December is going to be a little rough on our schedule! There may be some weeks where we don’t drop new episodes of The Rundown and/or The Bullshit Hour. But don’t worry... we’ll catch up on all the Rundown shows as soon as we’re back in the “Degens HQ”!
Thanks for listening & Have a great Thanksgiving!
