Turn The Page: Episode Four: Book Adaptations

We are FINALLY back with another episode of the Turn the Page podcast. 

As well as being in the middle of another lockdown, we had a few hiccups that prevented us from recording for a while. But, we're happy to say that we've now updated our tech and we are back up and running! 

In this episode, we're talking about; our favourite book adaptations, #NaNoWriMo, #Audiblegate, our August book club selection (The Extraordinaries by TJ Klune) and as always, we review our recent reads!

Here's a little of what you can expect from episode four:

On book to movie adaptations: 

It's so animated. So overly animated, that straight away I immediately thought, I'm not immersed in this world anymore. I came out of it because I can see that it's fake. And when you're watching a movie, you don't want to know it's fake. You want to feel like you're in there. The way you do when you read a book. 

On #Audiblegate

So, #Audiblegate is basically that, a lot of people have found out that when you return a book on Audible, the authors and the narrators are getting charged by Amazon. So, they're taking it out of their royalties, but not telling them. So, self-published authors, traditionally published authors and narrators are  up in arms about it at the moment, and justifiably so.
