About Bookends
Bookends is AoD’s book club for Patreon members. We read a mix of classic and contemporary literature, with hooks to our Core Episodes and friends of the show.
Format
Bookends live sessions take place via Zoom. An invitation and URL are provided by Patreon.
Brad, sometimes a guest, and Kevin start the session with a thirty to forty-five minute discussion of the book. This is recorded for Patreon.
The chat then opens for another thirty to forty-five minutes for an open discussion.
In the run-up to each session, we will post liberally and encourage discussion of each book on Patreon and Telegram.
