Janine Between the Lines: literature & lifestyle for leisure

The dynamic duo is back and better than ever, and we're picking right where we left off together! In this episode, Corrine and I deep dive into our best and worst picks over the past months, our Christmas traditions, and an outlook on the past year and the coming year.

I can't believe another year has passed. Thank you all so much for your love and support, and for being here to listen to my bookie ramblings. I love each of you with all my heart, and I hope your holiday season is happy and peaceful no matter what ❤️

Welcome back, she says. To herself, and everyone else tuning in.

Not much to say here, just book updates and life updates. I'm happy to be locked in again and even happier with the contents of this episode. Thank you all for staying tuned, you have no idea how much you are appreciated ❤️

Today's episode brings back a lovely past guest, the one and only Kassandra Rodriguez! A lot has changed since Kass and the host's last episode almost two years ago, and we talk about where life has taken us since then. We talk about the growth of her business, how we have been doing, our favorites, and throw it back to a fun segment we went through on our first, low quality go round. 

Nostalgia can be fun and awesome, and it was so much fun to reflect on these things with the modern hippie soul sister and owner of Original KASH Collections. Thank you, as always, for the love and support and for listening to Janine Between the Lines. Stay tuned for more episodes, and don't forget to share, like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

Today's episode is a long awaited one, and one the host has been eager to post. The host and her Maine soul mate Shelby Stavness, postpartum and women's health RN and aspiring educator, talk deeply about the underpinnings and raw thoughts of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, and the attempt to ban abortions nationwide. As usual, all opinions are strictly our own, and we would love to have further, respectful discourse on the subject! All references we used will be linked down below, and we can't wait to hear your feedback on the episode.

Today's episode discusses the books and shows that the host has been loving lately, including The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller, Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren, and Outlander on Netflix and Amazon. Listen in on the reviews and thoughts on these current faves, and how the Team Edward and Team Jacob dynamic weirdly parallel some of the battles in the books mentioned. 

Thank you guys so much for your unending support! It means the world to me, and I can't wait to keep reading and talking with you all. Don't forget to follow @janinebetweenthelines on Instagram and rate and review the pod on Apple Podcasts! ❤️

I love you all, and let me know your thoughts and answers by sending me a message on Instagram, or emailing me at janinebetweenthelines@gmail.com! 

This week's episode is a fun swirl of a book review, a podcast crush, and a listener Q &A that sparked a healthy, fun conversation. A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman is discussed in relation to the topic of personality types and compatibility. This was further exemplified by the wonderful Brené Brown's "Unlocking Us" podcast episode with Drs. John and Julie Gottman on What Makes Love Last. The podcast episode will be linked below along with Brené's website!

TODAY'S SONG RECOMMENDATIONS: Glass House by Kyle Dion, Hands to Yourself by Kyle Dion

Gentle reminder that I love you all severely, and thank you for listening. 

The host is a lucky gal to have a best friend that has stuck by her side for over 11 years... and now you guys get to meet her too. In today's episode, the host gives a life update and then has a rewarding "My First Time" questionnaire with her BFF, Abby Galang. Get to know the two more intimately, as they dive in to topics like their first CDs and mixtapes, first house parties, and even a light, wholesome take at our perspectives on AAPI hate crimes and our current social climate. This is, hands down, one of the host's favorite episodes she has ever recorded.

Do not forget to follow Abby on Instagram @abbythegal, and make sure you like and share this podcast if you've enjoyed it! Greater kudos if you rate and review us on Apple Podcasts ★ follow @JanineBTL on twitter and @janinebetweenthelines for more updates on episodes and outreach!

In today's episode, the host reviews two books that have occupied her leisurely reading time these past few weeks, namely Lone Wolf and Cub by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima and Kick It Under the Fridge by Ken Ciccoli. In an attempt to be more concise, the host has began a new version of episodes called Rapid Reviews! Rapid Reviews will mainly consists of mini book reviews condensed into a single episode while still talking about all the mundane ways these books have connections in the host's personal life. 

Follow @JanineBTL on Twitter and @janinebetweenthelines on Instagram for updates and to stay in the loop of the coming season! 

The host is back with an episode briefly discussing her thoughts on Divide Me By Zero by Lara Vapnyar, with hot topics touching on the crazy things we do for attention and why settling isn't the worst thing to do... maybe. Stay tuned for hopefully more consistent content and impeccable music recommendations in the near future.

A loving hello again from your humble and absent-for-the-past-few-months host, back with an episode about Lover by Anna Raverat. The host discusses her thoughts on loyalty and cheating in marriages and relationships in her typical roundabout way, and updates her lovely followers on the songs she's been digging these past few weeks. It's wonderful to be back. Next episode will be about The Witch Elm by Tana French, so stay tuned and thank you all so much for your love and support! 💕
