2025 may have been hit or miss for us, but we ended on a high note. Listen in to hear Kristia yap about her current hyper fixation, The Game Changers series by Rachel Reid and Heated Rivalry by Crave. While Rachael found an audiobook that had her so hooked, she finished the entire thing! Charlie Donlea's The Girl Who Was Taken was that girl!

PS: Kristia got a cold for Christmas (rude) so please excuse her audio.

See you all in 2026!

Wow, November flew by for us, and unfortunately it wasn't a great reading month. Rachael got part way through two different audiobooks, both promising. While Kristia had a flop of a month, with a lot of mid reads.

Books Discussed:

Murder Your Employer by Rupert Holmes

Quicksilver by Callie Hart

If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia

Happy Halloween everyone!

We've got a spooky good episode for you this month. Kristia finally found a properly creepy book that shouldn't be read while you're alone at night. While Rachael may have found a cure for the slump she's found herself in after Fourth Wing - or will she end up in another one with this series. Only time will tell.

Books Discussed:

Intercepts by T.J. Payne

Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole

Two very different books today. One is an Audible Original of one of the very first vampire stories ever told. And one is a horror novel that will give you the hebbie-gebbies.

TW: Kristia's Book (starting around the 10 minute mark) is a pregnancy horror novel, with themes of intense self harm and mutilation. This episode does not go into detail on what those are within the book, but it is discussed. Your mental health matter, if this isn't the episode for you, we'll see you next month.

Books Discussed:

Carmilla by joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

You Weren't Meant to be Human by Andrew Joseph White

August is the month of thrillers for us. Kristia's book reads like an episode of Criminal Minds and has you hooked from the first chapter. Rachael's book is more domestic thriller, making you wonder if you can actually trust anyone.

Books Discussed:

All The Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby

You Deserve to Know by Aggie Blum Thompson

The weather has been getting hotter and we've been hiding out indoors with the AC on full blast. Nothing is as it seems with this month's picks. Trust no one and nothing, and you might make it out alive.

Books Discussed:

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Hide by Kiersten White

This episode we're talking about some of our most anticipated reads. Kristia got lucky and her reads knocked it outta the park, 10/10 all around! Rachael, unfortunately, her book was a bit of a flop. We'll have to check in with her and see if she picked the series back up or not.

Books Discussed:

Double Your Standards by Sarah Blue

Bourbon & Proof by Victoria Wilder

Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas

A newer release and the start of a sci-fi fantasy are what we're discussing this month. A psychological thriller that got Rachael hooked immediately and never let her go. And a fantastic start to a highly rated sci-fi/fantasy series had Kristia in a chokehold.

Books Discussed:

Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

Red Rising by Pierce Brown
