Show notes

BREAKING NEWS!!! This is not our Kingdom of Ash episode as we had previously planned but instead we have our October wrap up for you all! We will have our KOA epsiode ready next week so make sure to check back then!

We collectively read 17 books which is low for us but overall it was still a good reading month. Kyleigh read her all time favorite memoir, Micaela is staying in the game with our book club books, and Hannah might be in her nonfiction era.

Also annouced, our November book club pick is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern - make sure to grab your copy and join us on Fable!

82. October Book Club: The Dead Romantics Oct 23, 2024

Show notes

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for The Dead Romantics starting at timestamp 24:40.

For the first ~30 minutes of this episode, we are chatting about all of the exciting reading related news that was dropped on October 16. If you haven't read The Dead Romantics, the first half of this episode has plenty of content for you, too!

And then we dive into our October book club pick, The Dead Romantics, by our girl Ashley Poston (as in Post Office, confirmed by the audio book). This is the third book of hers that we've read in our book club and it is definitely one of our favorites.

77. Re-rating on Goodreads Sep 18, 2024

Show notes

In this week's episode, we tried something new and went through our Goodreads and re-rated books that previously got high ratings. There were so many books that just didn't stick with us as much as we thought they would so they needed to get a new rating. This was a fun segment and definitely made us realize how generous we used to be with our ratings!
