Pick a Mushroom, Pack a Goat: Quizzes, Chaos & Favorite Tropes
Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and sometimes unhinged fantasy quizzes.
This week, Amanda and Kat dive into a chaotic “Pack Your Bag” fantasy quiz—and discover that Amanda is a panicky pixie packing an anxious teddy bear and a goat named Bitey. Naturally.
The episode spirals delightfully from there with a round of bookish “Would You Rather” (dog-eared pages or spoilers, anyone?) and a debate over naming pets—or children—after fictional characters.
They also reveal their trope obsessions of the week:
- Dystopian societies (The Last Bookstore on Earth, 1984)
- Amateur sleuths (Nancy Drew, Thursday Murder Club, and more)
And Amanda’s hot take? Everyone should read Finnegans Wake—but Kat’s firmly in the “absolutely not” camp.
Mentioned in the episode:
- The Last Bookstore on Earth by Andrew T. Stone
- 1984 by George Orwell
- A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson
- Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
- Finnegans Wake by James Joyce
Tune in for the absurd, the cozy, and the unfiltered chaos that is Can I Bring My Book.
