It Gets Good

This week we continue the theme of book to movie adaptations and share our favorite ones with you! Some of these we have read and seen, some of them we just have seen them and think they were done well! We also share some that we think you should avoid. Join us next week to talk about our March book club book and our thoughts on the movie, Project Hail Mary!

WE ARE GETTING TWO NEW ACOTAR BOOKS IN THE NEXT TEN MONTHS. IT'S HAPPENING! We absolutely had to do a bonus debrief episode after the Call Her Daddy podcast interview with Sarah J.

I think we are all in awe of the fact that we're already done with February!! While it was the shortest month, we all still managed to read some good books! Micaela hung in there with 2, Kyleigh read 8, and Hannah is keeping the podcast afloat with 12. Some of the books were better than others but overall it was a good month.

If you didn't hear, we're reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier for our March Book Club! Grab your copy and read along with us!

The Wicked King by Holly Black

Destination Funeral by Paige Harbison

This week, we're diving into Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and its film adaptation. Kyleigh completely fell in love with the novel, while Hannah and Micaela admired its depth and intensity, even if it didn't quite make their favorites list. We unpack our very different reading experiences, share all our thoughts on the movie (which we surprisingly loved!), and chat about book-to-film adaptations in general—what works, what doesn't, and why some stories translate better to the screen than others.

It's moody, dramatic, and full of opinions. Just the way we like it.

We'll be reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir in the month of February! Grab your copy today!
