On this chapter of Mostly Bookish, Emily and Barry dive into First Time Caller by BK Borison- a book we both agree has immaculate vibes. The story follows Lucie Stone, whose daughter calls into a radio romance hotline asking for a date for her mom. Enter "bossy" Aiden Valentine, the radio host, and you've got chemistry, tension, and moments that had us kicking and squealing.

On this chapter of Mostly Bookish, Emily and Barry dive into Layne Fargo's The Favorites, a book about the high-stakes world of elite figure skating. The story follows Katarina Shaw and Heath Rocha’s rise from broken childhoods to Olympic fame, only to be torn apart by betrayal, sabotage, and ambition- until they ultimately redefine what it means to win.

Welcome to Mostly Bookish — the podcast where two friends, one book, and zero ability to stay focused collide. We're here to dive deep into the books we love, the characters we can't stand, and the plot twists that we never saw coming. If you can keep up, congrats — you're officially part of the group chat.

In this very first episode, we’re kicking things off by sharing who we are, how this podcast came to be, what you can expect from future episodes, and what we love most about reading. We’re also spilling on our favorite books and authors — and what we’re most excited for as we start this new chapter. Whether you’re here for the stories or the chaos (or both), we’re so glad you’re here!
