Join the Bookalicious girlies for a special episode where we DON'T talk about books we're reading but DO catch up on life.

Let us know if you like this format & we will keep doing it

Join us TOMORROW for our conclusion on ACOTAR

Join us for Part 2 of ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas! Some of the topics discussed include:

- Is Tamtam an F-boy or a lover boy?

- Should you really do whatever brings you joy?

- Did the naga give Feyre a lobotomy because what else could explain her sudden personality shift?

- What's the deal with Nesta and is she secret hero or secret villain?

Next week we'll FINISH the book!! In the meantime, send us questions to [email protected] for a Q&A episode! We'd love to hear from you!

Join the Bookalicious girlies for Part 1 of Sarah J. Maas’ best selling novel A Court of Throne & Roses which came highly recommended from Friend of Pod - Lexi!

The sisters postulate why this series is considered YA when it feels more A. Candice’s final assessment is that due to Feyre being insufferable, the series was classified as YA. Feyre is SO insufferable Chrissy wonders if she actually likes YA or if she only likes John Greene. 

We finish our first Agatha book just in time for Christie-mas! Topics covered include:

- Picture This emoji game

- Plot recap (and maybe plot holes?)

- Pearls of wisdom from Agatha

- TikTok-donut vs Myspace-sandwich

and more!!

We gave this book a 5.0 (after rounding up from a 4.9). We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Next up on the docket:

End of year Q&A: Send us allll your questions! Thoughts on a book? Theory you'd like to share? Questions for us? Send 'em all at [email protected]

A Court of Thorns and Roses: We finally caved on the YA novel! If you're in the minority of people who haven't read this book (like us), get your copy and read along with us!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea: This one's for you, Guy53!! We finally have the book and are ready to cash in on our listener's request. If you want to recommend a book, send us a message at (you already know) [email protected] !

Get into the Christie-mas spirit as the Bookalicious girlies get into a Christmas Muuuuurder Mystery by Agatha Christie - Hercule Poirot Christmas!

We start off with a very detailed author recap on Dame Agatha Christie uncovering some of Agatha’s mysteries and her slightly circular family tree. The sisters get into the minds of the killer by plotting and scheming their own murder strategy of Old Simeon Lee. Candice gets skeeved by everyone sexualizing the very young Pilar & Chrissy convinces Candice that David is NOT a closeted 1920’s gay.

Thanks for joining and make sure to email us your questions for a Reader Q&A episode coming up!

Candice and Chrissy rehash Fox's Tongue and, by the end of it, know about 65% of what just happened. BUT we are here to deliver all of our wisdom from the book so you may know more about what's going on!!

And, in the beginning, we discuss our own Gypsy Rose experience and whether cottage cheese is only for old people. Thanks for joining our club!

Join us as we recap part one of Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone by Allison M. Kovaks! If you haven't heard of this book, we highly recommend it. And we especially recommend listening to our recap as you read to help sift through the many moving parts of this tale.

In the author summary, Candice doesn't talk at all about Allison Kovaks and instead explains all the German and Japanese folktale lore behind the book, so now the book makes a lot more sense to Chrissy. We use the magic of Mariah Carey to figure out what's happening in this book and make predictions for next time.

Thanks for joining our club!

**Next on the docket is Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie! Get your copy today to read along with us!**

In this VERY special episode the Bookalicious sisters have their first ever podcast GUEST(s) from The Kindred Kindles Podcast with Krystin & Taylor.

The girls discuss all things Freida McFadden (SPOILERS FOR BOOK 1 + 2 OF THE HOUSEMAID), true crime, and pop-culture references only Candice (and I'm certain all the listeners) know.

Thank you for joining our club and make sure to visit Kindred Kindles!

Join us as we read the childhood classic (and the beginning of the fantasy genre as we know it??) The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald!

We begin with a (very) detailed biography on George MacDonald (had a farm?) before summarizing the book and then sharing our thoughts on the plot, the princess, Lootie, and goblin feet (among other things).

We would love to hear what you thought about this book! Snooze-fest? Beloved childhood tale? Let us know at [email protected]!

⁠Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone⁠

Thanks for joining our club!

In the final part of The Housemaid's Secret, Freida McFadden jumps out of her spaceship and into another one as she lands this story in a way we never could have guessed. We've got LOTS of thoughts on the final murder that went down, the Spirit of Killie, and how super-ninja Marybeth learned all her skills on the car ride over. We have many questions for Freida and even draft an email *live* that we sent to our new favorite author.

We hope you loved this book as much as we did! Join us next week as we start Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone! (**edit- we're actually starting The Princess and the Goblin!)
