The weather has been getting hotter and we've been hiding out indoors with the AC on full blast. Nothing is as it seems with this month's picks. Trust no one and nothing, and you might make it out alive.

Books Discussed:

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley

Hide by Kiersten White

This episode we're talking about some of our most anticipated reads. Kristia got lucky and her reads knocked it outta the park, 10/10 all around! Rachael, unfortunately, her book was a bit of a flop. We'll have to check in with her and see if she picked the series back up or not.

Books Discussed:

Double Your Standards by Sarah Blue

Bourbon & Proof by Victoria Wilder

Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas

A newer release and the start of a sci-fi fantasy are what we're discussing this month. A psychological thriller that got Rachael hooked immediately and never let her go. And a fantastic start to a highly rated sci-fi/fantasy series had Kristia in a chokehold.

Books Discussed:

Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

Happy May Yall!

April had some winners in it! A nice little mix of thrillers, some thinkers, and as always, a little romance. Some that were even worth staying up way past our bedtime to read!

Books Discussed:

The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami

Pucking Around by Emily Rath

The Silent Patient by lex Michaelides

The Stillwater Girls by Minka Kent

March was full of winners. Not only did we each celebrate another trip around the sun, but it was filled with 5 star reads!

Books Discussed:

The Arrangement by Kiersten Modglin

Thirteen by Steve Cavanash

Vampires, ghosts, Greek gods, cheating husbands, friendship. This episode really has it all! Of the twenty books Kristia read this month, she's giving you two of her favorites. Rachael has a lot of half finished books, but this one snagged her attention and never let go.
