Join us for a review of First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston Reese's January 24' Book Club Pick! This was our book club's first novel, and we can't say we were as impressed as we had hoped to be. Discuss different identities, lies, and danger with us that catch up to the future Evie Porter has been working so hard to build and protect.

Enter the fae realm with Hardback Life, a podcast where we break down A Court of Thorns and Roses characters, what worked & what didn't, and favorite quotes. Whether you're a first-time reader or a seasoned SJM stan, we explore the magic, mayhem, and morally gray men that make this fantasy series so irresistible. Expect spoilers, spicy takes, fan theories, and lots of love for Feyre, Rhysand, and the Night Court. Grab your Illyrian wings and come hang out—this is not your average book club.

Welcome to Hardback Life! It's time for stories, sass, and strong opinions. Two best friends talking endless stories, hardcovers, Kindles, and cozy reading moments!
