  • Theft of Swords Book Review
    2026/05/05

    Joe is a cheating cheat. How dare he. Two books in one podcast!? Alex was beside himself in how much he had to read in such a short time. He hasn't read that long of a book since he plodded along with a Brandon Sanderson book (and it took him months to read that).

    This month the brothers read Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan, the compilation of books one and two of the Riyria Revelations series. Listen as the boys try to rush through the book plots so they can get into the juicy bits they like to nerd out in. Of course, the largest question was, did Alex approve? What did he think of having to read two books? Be sure to listen to find out.

    Next month, we are back to Alex picking the novel. He has also gone the fantasy route. He has picked The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. This was a Hugo nominee in the year that Some Desperate Glory won the award. Let's see what the brothers think; is this book going to be better or worse than a book that angered them so badly last year?

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

    Please help us grow this podcast. The more listeners we get the more we can do. While Alex and Joe love talking books it is nice to know we aren't the only two out there blathering into the universe.

  • Bonus Episode: Mystic River Movie Review
    2026/04/20

    The brothers have taken a break from reading and have watched a movie instead. For this bonus episode, Alex thought it would be a fantastic idea to compare the book, Mystic River by Dennis Lehane, to the movie of the same name, starring Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Bacon. It is an interesting discussion that digs deep into what was similar and different and how well the movie was able to capture the essence of the original works.

    Next month Joe has cheated with his book pick. He was able to find a compilation of two full-length novels stuffed into one really large book. We will be reading the first book in the Riyria Revelations, Theft of Swords, by Michael J. Sullivan. So, be sure to check it out when it drops.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • Mystic River Book Review
    2026/04/05

    After Alex's disappointing book pick to start off season 3, he has turned it around a full 180 degrees. For this month he picked Mystic River by Dennis Lehane. This gripping crime drama is going to leave you on the edge of your seat as you speedread the whole thing in one sitting.

    Listen to the brothers as they discuss the pure genius of Lehane and his ability to write characters and tension. There is a reason why Lehane is the legend that he is, and why Alex has once again returned to his books on this show.

    Next month Joe is picking a double-feature. A two-for-one deal in epic fantasy. We will be reading Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan. Be sure to check it out and tune-in for that episode when it drops. You won't want to miss their thoughts on this set of books.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • Bonus Episode: Michael J Fox Memoir
    2026/03/20

    Welcome back to Kendall Bookworms. We have the long anticipated (to Joe anyways) comparison book to a previous bonus book. That's right. We read No Time Like the Future by Michael J. Fox so that Joe could show Alex the difference between a good celebrity memoir (this one) to that of a bad one (aka Tom Felton's memoir).

    Joe's not petty. Well, maybe a little.

    Next month are book of the month is going to be Mystic River by Dennis Lehane. It is going to be a doozy. We promise. Much more of a kick in the guts than Alex's first pick of the season. (I mean honestly, Alex. What were you thinking, kicking off the season with the book you chose. Sheesh.)

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • Death's Head Book Review
    2026/03/05

    Welcome to Kendall Bookworms season three. This month Joe got to pick his first book of the season. He picked Death's Head by David Gunn. It is a military sci-fi action book that never slows down. And neither do the brothers as they pick this book apart and talk about their thoughts and feelings on their reading experience.

    Next month Alex is picking again. He is sticking to his mystery books and doing another repeat author. Seriously, this guy needs to branch out a bit... Anyways. Alex has picked Mystic River by Denis Lehane. As the brothers loved the first book they covered by this author, they are both looking forward to diving into this one. We hope you will too.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode.

  • Bonus Episode: Stuffed Shorts, a Devious Sneak Attack by Alex
    2026/02/20

    Welcome to Kendall Bookworms! This is our first bonus episode of season 3. And as the title suggests, Alex pulled a fast one on Joe. Alex decided to read the third and final installment of his all time favorite book series, Stuffed. As those familiar with these episodes, you all know this is a smut book. So anyone that snuck in the theater that should not be listening to this sort of thing, please kindly f*** off and come back next month.

    Stuffed Shorts is Silvia Morrow's last installment of the Stuffed series. The triple entendre is pretty obvious. We get 3 short stories that are interconnected. Alex goes into far more detail than Joe wants to hear. So, if you enjoy Joe's suffering, this is the episode for you to tune into.

    Next month is Joe's first pick of season three. He has picked a military sci-fi book called Death's Head by David Gunn. So make sure to tune in on the 5th to hear all about this thrill ride of a book.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • The Cuckoo's Calling Book Review
    2026/02/05

    And we're back!

    It is the start of season 3. I know it has felt like a long time since you have heard our silky, sultry voices. Not doing that bonus episode makes it feel as if we have been gone forever.

    But not to fear. We are back, like I said. And Alex, as per usual, has the privilege of the first pick of the season. And to start the season off, he decided to begin with a murder mystery. We read The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. Listen as the brothers pick apart the nuances of this author's first attempt into the highly competitive genre or hardboiled detective noir.

    Next month Joe gets to pick his first pick of the season. He is going for something a bit more niche. His love of sci-fi has gotten the better of him, and he is digging deep into the sub-genre of military science fiction. For the month of March, we will be reading Death's Head by David Gunn. So, make sure to keep your eyes open for that one. It is a harder book to find, so if you are one of the strong, that likes to read along, just be prepared to have to do a deep search.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.

  • Season 2 Wrap-Up
    2026/01/05

    Hey everyone! We made it! Two full seasons now. 32 books total that the brothers picked out for everyone to read. A whole bunch more in bonus episodes. It's been quite the ride. In this episode, the brothers are going to go over all the books they read this season, ranking them and comparing them to the first season. Then Joe is going to geek out on some stats and Alex is going to try and stump Joe in a little game he made up.

    This may be the last episode of season 2. But fear not. There is a third season coming next month. The brothers have already picked their books for the season and are thinking up new and exciting bonus material. For all those people that want to be involved with the process, feel free to reach out. We will take book recommendations, recommendations for episode ideas, author interviews, or guest appearances. Ways to get ahold of us will be listed below.

    There will be no bonus episode this month. The brothers need a well deserved break. And a chance to get ahead. It was a real struggle at the end of this season to get everything together. Bonus episodes will be back next month.

    That said, the first book of season three has been announced. Alex, who gets the traditional first pick of the show has set us up for a mystery. He picked The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. Make sure you pick it up and read along with us, if that's your jam. Otherwise, we look forward to being in your ears next month.

    Just as a reminder, we post twice monthly. On the 5th we post our book of the month. And on the 20th we will provide you lovely listeners with a bonus episode. Please make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode. And please be active listeners and comment and rate on how you think we are doing. All the details below.
