Page Chewing
Looking for a place to discuss your favorite books and hear more about the book industry? We're here to help. When we're not reading a book together and discussing each week with friends, we're having casual, fun and informative conversations with other readers, authors, and content creators in the book sphere.
While we mostly read fantasy books, we venture out into other genres often. Love comic books? Our Panel Chewing series has you covered! Mike, Jarrod and Steve discuss their favorite weekly books on the Pick of the Week and discuss other series with their own dedicated episodes.
On the Friday Conversation we often invite guests to discuss certain topics or meet with a group of friends from the Page Chewing forums to have a talk about anything type of discussion. We invite you to start your weekend the right way with us. So grab a drink, relax and unwind with us.
