June 07, 2023Episode #45 - Song of AchillesTori & Maddie are singing their praises for Song of Achilles. Beautiful, soft, poetic, this book is everything we've been needing to get out of this book slump. In this episode Tori pops off with her notes & quotes and thankfully Maddie happily let her rattle on about how sad this story was but how much she loved it too. I hope we can all find someone who will wait for us in the darkness.

May 31, 2023Episode #44 - Ninth HouseY'all we have been SO unlucky these last few weeks and Ninth House was a solid meh. But, fear not, it was not all a complete failure, we did like this book the most out of all the dark academia books we've recently read! Alex is a phenomenal main female character and we think this series just had to set up everything before we descend into hell. And you know us we love a good free fall into the dark side. Next week we read Song of Achilles and boyyyyyyyyy, Tori better fasten her emotional seatbelt! Prediction: she'll be in mourning next time you hear her.

May 25, 2023Episode #43 - If We Were VillainsWhat the actual fucketh you guys. This book is a waste of your time please DO NOT READ. It put Tori in a shit mood and Maddie was there to kinda stave off the simmering anger. The best part of this episode was reading all the one star reviews validating the hate for this book. I think we simply are not dark academia babes. We can't handle no plot all vibes, we gotta have a good story. Hopefully Leigh Bardugo will save us from this book slump next week. please god Leigh, we need you.Next Episode: Ninth HouseFollow Us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodbooksbadbanter Follow Us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodbooksbadbanterIf you or a loved one has been personally victimized by the book If We Were Villains, join the damn club and commiserate with us - like, comment, and subscribe to our episodes every Wednesday because at least we don't have to suffer alone....more1h 5minPlay
May 17, 2023Episode #42 - If He Had Been With MeAutumn was the epitome of the typical teenage school girl stereotype that everyone recreates on TikTok. Maddie put it down for good after chapter 17 while Tori realized that she was Autumn all throughout high school - talk about instantaneous emotional damage(: We've been personally victimized by booktok too many times to count, we shouldn't be surprised this was a major over-hype.

May 10, 2023Episode #41 - It Happened One SummerWhat happened one summer? You fucked a fisherman? That sounds pretty hot, Captain. Maddie and Tori are smitten by this small town romance that was the perfect palette cleanser after CC1. With 4 & 5 star ratings we definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially men that need dating help because Brendan is the blue print for grumpy men. Sailors beware, after this book we're feeling inspired to captain crunch that dick.

May 03, 2023Episode #40 - Crescent City Part 2!Genuine question, will you guys ever get tired of us gushing over anything and everything that SJM writes? No? Great, we didn't think so. The second half of this book took each of us on a ride, for Maddie it was until 5AM and for Tori it was crying excessive tears in the car with her worried partner in the drivers seat! We don't have to tell you that this story is elite, IFYKYK, and we are literally frothing at the mouth for what comes next for Bryce, Hunt, and the rest of this incredible cast of characters!

April 26, 2023Episode #39 - You're That BitchYou're that bitch, I'm that bitch, she's that bitch, we're all that bitch and Bretman is THE bitch. Maddie and I both listened to the audiobook for this and Bretman was the voice actor - let's just say there's no other way to take this book in! Yuh. This book feels like a flow of consciousness and it soothed Tori's little ADHD brain.Next Episode: Crescent City House of Earth & Blood Part 2Follow Us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodbooksbadbanter Follow Us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodbooksbadbanterHey.

April 19, 2023Episode #38 - The Atlas SixThis week we found out that all multiple POV books are NOT made equal. At this point we'll have to change our name to BAD BOOKS BAD BANTER. Yet another DUD but, at the very least, we disliked this book so much we had too much to talk about! Tori and I both felt like this story had so much untapped potential but it got sucked into the vortex of abstract, hyper pretentious, 2 dimensional characters who all hate but are simultaneously gay for one another. the only slay.

April 12, 2023Episode #37 - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRueThis story was a dark horse in our line-up and we are so happy we rode into it blind! Tell me why I want 7 freckles that look like a constellation now? Talk about making fictional characters my personality. We were each so happily surprised by this novel and it even got a 5 star review and a promised re-read from Tori! Still can't tell who I want more though, Henry or Luke - such a tough decision!Next Episode: The Atlas SixFollow Us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@goodbooksbadbanterFollow Us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodbooksbadbanterIf you don't like, subscribe, or rate our episodes we'll make sure to make a deal with Luke to fix that.
