Welcome back to Books on the Brain! This week, we tasked ourselves with finding the best and least good that Goodreads has to offer. We share some of the highest-rated and reviewed books and some that may have missed the mark (for some). Please remember that this is all in the name of good-natured fun and we aren't saying any of these books are bad, but rather showing the duality of each book. Everyone is entitled to their subjective opinion (unless it's hurtful or harmful). You can send us a DM or comment on our Instagram @booksonthebrainpodcast!

* AITA- means (Am I the ***hole). The acronym is used to reference a Reddit community where users submit personal experiences and ask others to vote on whether or not they are the ***hole. Fair warning, a lot of the stories are adult in nature, so you can't say we didn't warn you! 

Welcome back to Books on the Brain! In this week's episode, we react to bookish AITA stories and give our two cents. This may be the funniest episode we have ever recorded and we cannot wait to hear all of your thoughts. We also announce that our guest episode for June will be a PRIDE PARTY! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate pride month than surrounded by friends and talking all things LGBTQIA2S+ books and bookish things!

Welcome back to this week's episode of Books on the Brain! We conducting another genre deep dive, jumping headfirst into the magical world of retellings! Retellings are such a wonderful sub-genre within the bookish canon which allows for a more intersectional and updated view on original and classic stories that we all know and love! We know you love retellings too, so please let us know if you have any recommendations. You can send us a DM or comment on our Instagram @booksonthebrainpodcast!
