Weekly Roundup: If Books Could Kill Podcast, Barnes & Noble Premium Membership, and Future Planning for Young Adults

Author: Parenting Roundabout October 9, 2025 Duration: 21:04
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

Catherine's library find is a podcast, recommended to her by a library coworker, called If Books Could Kill. Mentioned: Battle Hymn of the Tiger MotherThe Anxious GenerationBlinkHe's Just Not That Into You (and its movie version).

Terri's random recommendation, speaking of books, is the Barnes & Noble premium membership, which gets you lots of discounts and the all-important tote bag.

Bonus contentDancing with the Stars week 4, "Disney Night."

In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2022 on future planning for young adults.

Next week's lineup: 
  • Lost S3 E20, "The Man Behind the Curtain," on Tuesday, October 14
  • Only Murders in the Building S5 E7 on Wednesday, October 15
  • Weekly roundup on Thursday, October 16

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Every week, Parenting Roundabout brings together the voices and experiences of writers Terri Mauro and Catherine Holecko. Think of it less as a manual and more as a conversation happening across the kitchen table, where the topics flow as freely as the coffee. They dive into the cultural moments, family dynamics, and daily dilemmas that actually fill your news feed and your thoughts, from the latest kids' TV show sparking debate to the subtle shifts in how we think about family and society. This isn't about perfect answers, but about navigating the messy, rewarding loop of raising kids alongside someone who gets it. In each episode of this podcast, you'll hear a natural, often humorous discussion that reflects what's really on parents' minds right now-the small complaints, the genuine obsessions, and the shared wisdom that comes from living it. Tune in for a dose of reality and camaraderie, a break from the noise that still manages to engage with the things that matter most in the whirlwind of family life.
