About the Podcast
From Beginning to Now
Deranged Bookworms started as a passion project between two high school students who bonded over a shared love of books. What began as a simple space to share reviews and recommendations soon grew into a platform dedicated to thoughtful literary discussion, connecting with readers, and celebrating stories across every genre. After Malia graduated from high school, Lalie continued the project independently, expanding its focus beyond book reviews to include essays, interviews, publishing insights, and conversations about the literary world. As the platform evolved, it was reimagined and relaunched as Dear Literature.
