Michaela and Bella are back to unpack the way we talk about books — are we skipping synopses and just chasing tropes now? 👀 Plus, a major book title gets leaked early (oops, Waterstones), we fangirl over authors who went from fanfic to full-on trad pub, and get into the messy, necessary convo around trigger warnings. All that and more bookish chaos you won’t want to miss! 📚

In this episode, Michaela and Bella take you behind the scenes of the book world! Ever wondered what makes indie publishing different from traditional publishing—or why it matters for the books you love? In this episode, we explore the perks and pitfalls of both, uncover the hidden dangers of book pirating, and share how these issues affect the authors who bring your favorite stories to life.

If you’re a reader who loves discovering new books and wants to understand the challenges (and triumphs!) your favorite authors face, this episode is a must-listen.

Join Michaela and Bella as they catch up on the latest drama and adventures in the book community. From messy book event controversies (think awkward behavior and chaotic organization) to swapping their favorite romance reads, they cover it all. You’ll hear them gush about beloved tropes like second-chance romance and fake dating, and get the inside scoop on which books they had to DNF—and why. Along the way, they share personal stories, hot takes, and plenty of reading tips to add to your TBR.

We’re back — and better than ever! 📚✨
