About this listen

Welcome to Novel to Me, the experiences of a Taiwanese girl going through English literature. If you’ve ever pondered whether treacle tarts were British or wizarding, or whether that cheerleader jock hierarchy is really a thing in American schools, then we’re in the same boat. Sit back and enjoy all the things I find in stories that are novel to me.

    Sep 16 2024

    For this episode of the podcast, we're talking about Outlander, a book that I first read because it was recommended to me in the Audible Plus catalogue.

    Question of the day: Have you ever read a book you couldn't put down? You have. You must have. Please let me know in the post for this episode on Instagram or in a review.

  • Ep.12 - Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen
    Jul 16 2024

    For this episode of the podcast, we're talking about Pride and Prejudice, a book I first bought and attempted to read in junior high solely because it was one of Bella Swan's (of Twilight) favorite books. In this episode, novel prospectives and novelties include: the requirements for being an accomplished lady in society, as described by the ladies and by the gentlemen, the servants and chores that were done in a 19th century household, and the shock I received when I finally learnt what it meant to duel.

    Question of the day: What do you think are the requirements for an accomplished young person? Let me know in the post for this episode on Instagram or in a review.
