We’ve made it to the end of season 2, folks, and it’s bittersweet! Thank you sticking around if you’ve been listening this season. We’re taking a hiatus as we both have our babies in November, but we wanted to leave you with a fun Q&A of all things bookish, life, and motherhood!

Hi friends! Today we’re talking about what books we’re looking forward to reading in the fall - specific titles as well as genres. We also contemplate what our reading lives will really look like with new babies in the picture. But before we get into all of that we discuss our cats, because who doesn’t love to hear some stories about Remus, Scout, Peaches, and Katie’s long-ago cat Bird (who was sweet but dumb).

Hi readers! You're in for a treat today. We are so excited to have Riley Sager on the podcast, national and international best-selling author of Final Girls, The Last Time I Lied, and his new release that came out in July 2019, Lock Every Door.
We loved picking Riley's brain all about what makes a great plot-twisty horror/thriller, how he got the inspiration to write about The Bartholomew—the creepy, gothic setting for Lock Every Door—his favorite characters to write about, and so, so much more.
This is a spoiler-free episode, and we hope you enjoy it! After talking to Riley, we are definitely in the mood for some more page-turning thrillers.

In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie lament the onslaught of heartburn because their stomachs now reside in their throats. They discuss what they’re reading, the fact that their books have overlapped some this month, they wonder where all the time to read summer books has gone, and they guess each other’s favorite books that instagram made them read (or in Mollie’s case, what KATIE made her read…).

In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie catch up about traveling, what they’re reading (or NOT reading), similar book trends (how do you end up with three books with oddly similar titles), and the transitions that shape a life (and of course how we often find those real life transitions in the books we read).

In today's episode, we discuss what we're currently reading, what we hope to pick up soon (hint: When your TBR list is long, it's overwhelming to know what to pick up next), Anne Bogel's summer reading list, why it's so hard to commit to series, and much more!

It’s appropriate that this episode comes out the Wednesday after Mother’s Day because Mollie and Katie - both - have a relevant announcement! You’ll have to listen to find out what it is. They also both read Daisy Jones and the Six and talk about the nostalgia surrounding the book and go off on some semi-relevant tangents?
