I thought she would be starting with * drum sound * THIS is Newslaundry and You're listening to NLHafta.
@Vatsal Purohit I miss those days when Deepnajana used to host that podcast.
Also love Sharin doing her thing while not actually speaking :D
Oh My God! This has to be the best BotCast ever. Now I can buy more cool books so that I cannot read them. Thank you
This episode was so bloody good!
Please do get Depanjana on the show again
P. S. I wish the three of you were my best friends. You seem so fun to hang out with!
The magic of BOT is back! Loved it. Got my next set of dope :) Beeeeest episode
This episode was such a BLAST guys great work👌 So many great recommendations BUT Madeline Miller!!!! People, if you've not read The Song of Achilles please do yourself a favour and read it, it's so achingly beautiful. Also Donna!!!Tartt!!! She reminds me of Nicole Krauss, another author who does characters and emotions so well- The History of Love is amazing! Also thanks for inspiring me to pick up The Goldfinch, should've picked it up right after I read The Secret History tbh. I'll stop rambling now 😂
PS. The Penelopiad is part of the Canongate Myth series.
I hate all the cuts you have in between... Makes me go paranoid thinking about what inappropriate joke I am missing :(
Such lovely 58 and a half minutes! Thank you Books on Toast :)
Fun fact: from the Spiderman comment, Spiderwoman (Jessica Drews) can actually produce bioelectricity from her hands.
P.S. Great episode you guys.
Woah! That's a really fun fact. Thanks Pranav.
Random recco:'The thirteenth tale' by Diane Setterfield,an amazing Gothic suspense!
So manyyyy amazing recs after such a looooooooong time, yay! Read only 3 of the books discussed, SO MUCH TO READ NOW
Can we have an episode on world war (1&2) and Indian history (non fiction)?
thanks alot for making such informative and interesting videos
Books on toast I am really thankful for coming up with this botcast , it was amazing and , so much to learn from you all . You are inspiring me (and many others) day by day by your videos and knowledge.
Many thanks and more power to you
I actually enjoyed today's discussion cos it was on female fiction and in the process of joggling with one here... There was diversity which to me is a strong point and we were exposed to different varieties. I also love today's guest because I am a pedantic kind of person too and pay attention to details. Hopefully these podcast will push me in the right direction. And to top it all I loved the involvement of all and deep discussions. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best episodes on this channel, amongst the one with Kanan, Tujeja
Finished 'The children of blood and bone' in one sitting. It was just impossible to put it down.Thanks for the recommendation.
Please bring her back
that's what he said.
Honestly, I read women authors by default because Y.A is usually my go to and it teaches me alot and it's very female dominated. And I just find it so enlightening.
The Handmaid's Tale is a Hulu production and not Netflix, unfortunately.
hey, i think the pen deepanjana is talking about might be a livescribe one? (also: i want to read the bloody chamber too, now.) + there is a fair chance i have said this, before but cannot remember now; this is a brilliant episode filled with so many gems. i am definitely going to read as many of these as i can! best episode of 2018, can i just say? okay, bye, guys. i can never get enough of this show. i hope i never ever tire of it.
This was a great episode! Thanks guys!
Truly great discussion and amazing suggestions!!!
My name is almost Deepanjana😆😆😂😂
Also great episode!
i loved this so much that i am watching it again! 💛
Could you please try doing the podcasts in a more casual way like don't look at the camera and sit casually and talk to each other. BTW love wat you doing.
I've been waiting for this!!
that's what she said.

Best 😁😍
Why does Deepanjana hate Bengalis? What did we do?
Please do a Botcast for LGBTQ+ books. Please. Please.Please.
BongBomb...guest was smarter than the hosts
How is Amy from Gone Girl an awful character?
palak valecha awful human, GREAT character
Newlaundry ki jai ho
This podcast was awful. The pathetic Deepanjana Pal's phony, trite and antiquated comments about Bengalis was the worst part of the whole podcast. It was like a desperate attempt at humor. Any fool in India can get away with making fun of Bengalis. Bengalis would never attack anyone if somebody criticized them. So Deepanjana simply selected the most peaceful people to defecate upon. The fact that Deepanjana is trying to score points by criticizing her own peaceful community is enough to expose her as a fraud. It is worse than virtue signaling. It is just mediocrity. In fact, it is worse than mediocrity.
Btw, I am a Malayali.
