Let's talk about some of the biggest conversations happening in the bookish community right now. Can you rate a book you didn't finish? Should authors be active in reader spaces? Why do readers seem to trust recommendations from large creators more than smaller accounts? And are we all reading too many books at once?

In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on some of the trends and debates that continue to shape reader culture. From BookTok hype and recommendation fatigue to the disappearance of duologies and trilogies, we're diving into the questions that have been on my mind lately as a reader.

Whether you agree, disagree, or fall somewhere in the middle, this is one of those episodes designed to start a conversation. So grab your current read, get comfortable, and let's talk about the state of the bookish community.

In this episode, I’m talking all things book tropes — the ones I can never get enough of, and the ones I’m honestly tired of seeing over and over again. From enemies to lovers done right, to insta-love that makes no sense, I’m breaking down what works for me and what instantly pulls me out of a story.

It’s a mix of opinions, frustrations, and guilty pleasures — because not every popular trope deserves the hype, and not every “overused” one is actually bad when it’s done well. If you’re a romance reader who has strong feelings about tropes, this one’s for you.
