Bound Sisters

Aetherbound 

by E.K. Johnston

Picked by Myranda

It’s the last Sunday of June which means, a NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 

••

This month’s book we read “Aerherbound” by E.K. Johnston

••

Which, to go along with our Genre diversity challenge we are doing this year, is considered to be Sci-Fi

••

We got our first question submission from a follower and fellow podcaster @stories.and.spoilers.podcast so that was exciting 😁🫶🏻 thank you so much for that!

••

This episode we talked about..

••

The difference between Sci-fi and fantasy and what is it called when the book is kind of both? 🤔

•

Our favorite parts in the book

•

Finding a family and the impact someone could have on the life of another person

•

How anyone who was suppose to have lost life did not in fact lose life

•

Some people are just not cut out for the supervillain life.. 

•

That this is a fantastic read for older teens, (16+, there is some closed door physical intimacy) but we’re finding we needed more information as adults with fully formed prefrontal cortexes

•

Turtles All The Way Down

by John Green

Picked by Myranda

****TRIGGER WARNINGS****

This book talks a lot about mental health struggles and has some intense moments of anxiety, and compulsive disorders that may be triggering for some. 

This month’s book was chosen from the YA genre “Turtles All The Way Down” by John Green. 

••

This story is thick with the experience of its main character Aza’s challenges with her mental health. 

••

We talk about the uniqueness of mental health struggles, and how someone navigating these things, could be perceived by their friends or family, and how it can be isolating and confusing when your mind doesn’t quite work like the people around you. 

••

As always, listen to the show and let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you! Leave us a comment down below or even a review on our podcast😁

Stranger in the Woods

by Anni Taylor

Picked by Myranda

****TRIGGER WARNINGS****

We’re discussing a book that contains content such as child sexual assault, abuse, child abuse, pedophilia, self-harm, suicide and attempted suicide, violence, kidnapping and abduction, and death and dying. 

We do not go into any depth or discuss details of these events during this podcast.

The book discussed is not suitable for persons under 18. Reader discretion is advised.

Happy PODCAST DAY!!!

••

How do you feel about spoilers? Personally I love them 😂

This is not a joke!

I intentionally seek them out

especially if a character I love “dies”, I’ll look it up, just so I know I can move on with the rest of the story, it helps me sleep at night 🤣

••

For anyone who DOES NOT like spoilers, you should read this book BEFORE you listen to the podcast 🤪

••

There were a few “that would never happen” moments, and at least one “what in the actual heck?” 😂 

••

We’re diving in and talking about this pretty intense mystery! The ending is something you’d never expect!! We definitely didn’t see it coming! 

••

Just to recap, we are following along with a genre reading challenge. For April we read a Mystery, Stranger in the Woods written by Anni Taylor

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Memoir

picked by Kellye

If you haven’t heard, this year we are following along with a genre reading challenge. For March we read Mindy Kaling’s memoir “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?”

••

None of us had ever read a memoir before this so our expectations were… non-existent 😆

••

Considering it was non-fiction, Mindy made this book a super lighthearted and easy read! Her story telling style is so funny and relatable. It’s almost like you’re sitting down having lunch and laughing with a friend! Or a sister 😉

••

We loved Mindy’s stories and had a fun conversation about how we’d have no problem with any of our girls looking up to her! 

••

But also, serious question that is still unanswered for me… how are young people just affording to be unemployed and living in New York City!?

••

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory

Romance

picked by Myranda

its PODCAST DAY!!!

••

If you haven’t heard, this year we are following along with a genre reading challenge. February’s genre was Romance.

••

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory was supposed to be “The Princess Diaries” meets “The Royal We”… 

••

We decided it was more like “The Princess Diaries 2” but if the cranky uncle was actually a twisted, murderous body guard working for a member of parliament bent on, over throwing the crown.. and Chris Pine’s character was actually a hunky Scottish intelligence agent… and also his brother.. and the grandmother/queen wasn’t Julie Andrews but the grandma from “Encanto”… and instead of Princess Mia actually being capable of running a make believe country she was a flighty, slightly snobby, royal who wants to be a better future queen, but not ‘til later..🤣🤣🤣 

••

If that made as much sense to you as it did to us… Come hang out and find out what the heck we’re saying about another crazy book mash up!!

••

We had a lot of fun with this episode

so. much. laughing… 😂🤣

Like She Owns the Place by Cara Alwill Leyba

Sel-Help

picked by Jyl

This year we’re trying something kind of fun.. a book challenge!!

Every month is assigned a genre or sub genre and the “picker” for the month has to stick to that guideline when selecting that months book!

•

January’s book was personal development. (Cliché? Maybe… probably 😂)

•

We read “Like She Owns the Place: Give Yourself the Gift of Confidence and Ignite Your Inner Magic” written by Cara Alwill Leyba

•

This book wasn’t exactly what we expected it to be… but here are a few of our favorite snippets…

•

“Rather than faking it till you make it… believe it and then be it”

•

“Why are we our harshest critics when we’re trying to change for the better? “

•

“Get crystal clear on what you value… once you know what you deserve, and [what you] really believe.. you’ll stop apologizing for things that aren’t your problem [within your control].”

•

Tune in! We can’t wait to hear what you think this month at book club!!

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse

Fantasy/ Sci Fi

picked by Myranda

•

We all had a rocky start getting started on this book, it’s not what we’d call an “easy read”.. but it was a really good story! 

•

In our podcast we talk about…

•

Which POV was our favorite in the story (there are 4! 😅)

•

Loneliness and community, and loneliness within a community

•

Two of the main characters are painted as opposites of each other in every way, what do we think will happen for these characters? 

•

And even more…

•

We also still have SO MANY QUESTIONS unanswered even at the end of the book, what do we think the 2nd book will bring?

•

Tune in! We can’t wait to hangout with you this month at book club!!
