In this episode, we’re talking all things BookTok—how it’s shaped our reading habits, our TBRs, and honestly… our book-buying budgets. We get into the series and titles that blew up online, which recommendations actually worked for us, and how much influence friends versus the BookTok community have on what we pick up next.

We also chat about our personal genre preferences, from romance to thrillers, and why book covers, special editions, and pretty sprayed edges have a dangerous amount of power over us. Audiobooks come into the conversation too, and how they fit into our reading lives alongside physical and digital books.

Along the way, we dive into some of our recent reads—breaking down stories that hit on grief, relationships, and the messier sides of YA fantasy. We don’t hold back when critiquing popular titles, unpacking what worked, what didn’t, and how hype can sometimes miss the mark. We wrap things up by talking about the chaos of unread books, the pressure of trending reads, and the genuine joy of stumbling across unexpected literary gems.

If you’ve ever been influenced (or victimized) by BookTok, this episode is for you. 📚✨
