The Something Bookish Podcast is a quirky and candid podcast hosted by the crazy book lady, Amyn AKA Lipglossmaffia. Every other week, while tipsy, she hosts unfiltered conversations with herself or a guest to talk about all things related to books and reading. No gimmicks or pseudointellectual chatter. Just a mega dose of bookish goodness.
