  • The Knight & The Moth (Ch. 11–20): Found Family, Omens, and Beeswax

    Buckle up, Book Babes — this week we're diving into chapters 11–20 of The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig and IT. GOES. OFF. From creepy omens and shady abbesses to steamy beeswax fittings and shocking diviner secrets, we’re losing our minds in the best way. We talk trope trackers (hi, found family and slow burn), character theories (is Six the Moth?!), and whether we’d survive facing down a stone-fingered monster on a platform in freezing water. Spoiler: One of us would definitely drown.

    ✨ Perfect for fans of gothic romantasy, twisty worldbuilding, and chaotic best friend debriefs.

  • The Knight & The Moth (Ch. 1–10): Eyeless Girls, Broody Knights & Vanishing Acts

    We’re diving into chapters 1–10 of The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig for our June read-along—and whew, what a ride. From drowning diviners to flirty knights with earrings and disappearing girls, these chapters were packed. We break down the key plot points, share our “Moth to Flame” obsessions, fan-cast questionable characters, and ask the important question: Would we survive this book?

Meanwhile, Margaret’s past hits soap opera levels of drama with a black eye, a backstage hookup with a rockstar, and a spontaneous wedding that may or may not lead to a sisterly betrayal.We’re breaking it all down—from the return of “everything but” scenes to the emotional chaos of toxic positivity, high-stakes hurricane reconnections, and whatever the hell is going on with Laura.New episodes every Sunday. Bring your blanket. Bring your book boyfriend.
