Welcome to our incoherent conversation about The Kiss Quotient! It sort of tail spins into a conversation about The Hating Game but c'mon, what did you expect?! We express our love for Michael Phan (and Josh Templeman) and celebrate our badass girl, Stella Lane! Bea remembers every scene and moment from this incredible story, while Tali did no research and can't stop talking about The Hating Game.

You know those moments when you finish a book and you realize it's changed everything for you? That's exactly what this episode is about.

In this episode, we each picked out 3 books that changed our lives and it was basically a therapy session. Now we know how our therapists feel! We loved taking a little look into our lives and discussing how certain books made an impact on us. There are so many books that changes our lives, so this is just the tip of the iceberg, but we thought it was great start at capturing stories that shaped us into who we are.

Welcome, welcome to Caraval! In this episode, we’re discussing the magical Caraval by Stephanie Garber ...which means Tali is BEYOND excited and Bea FINALLY read a book! (And she's reading others too!) We spend a lot of time admiring Scarlett’s magical dress and trying to figure out who Julian looks like. Don't worry, we land on someone who we know everyone has had a crush on, even if he is a cartoon.

Welcome to our second book talk! Today, we are talking about Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake! We've changed up the format a bit from our first book talk, so we could share the real conversations we had before we started broadcasting our private book club. 

As the eldest children in our families, we know a thing or two about annoying siblings... which means we’re extremely qualified (if we do say so ourselves) to talk to you about some characters who annoyed us, but we also wished were more developed in their stories! Some big heavy hitters are talked about in this one, so remember: not everyone is everybody's cup of tea. Oh, and beware: major opinions and spoilers ahead.

In this episode, we (politely?) discuss our unpopular book opinions! With the utmost respect, we are discussing all our thoughts and feelings about stories and characters that we didn't connect with as much as other people have ...and we have a lot of thoughts and feelings. Vampires are apparently an issue for Tali and Bea single-handedly wants to take on all Game of Thrones fans (really, only the show fans).

There are so many quotable quotes out in between the pages, so in today’s episode, we decided to make a game out of sharing our favorites! We picked a handful of our most beloved quotes and made the other guess which book it’s from. Tali has a thing for power-related quotes and Bea couldn't decide which Darkling quote to use. So typical. We’re suckers for some beautiful, strategically placed words. Tune in and guess along with us!

Welcome to our very first Book Talk featuring the wonderful world of “Warcross” by Marie Lu!

We explore the story and share our many thoughts and feelings about Neurolink, flirting on IM and of course, Hideo Tanaka. So grab a snack and get cozy! We mix up a few names (HENKA Games, not Tenika, guys) and a few rules (still have no idea who gets drafted when)... having a structure threw off our game a bit. ;)

And the award goes to...

Today, we are your hosts for the 2018 GBYS Bookish Awards! In honor of awards season, we dive back into our 2018 reads and select our winners for categories based on the Academy Awards categories. Tali wanted to, but somehow DIDN’T(?!) pick Kaz. And Bea actually read a stand-alone book for once.
