Are you ready to have your heart broken? We're finishing episodes 13-16 in part 4 of our series on "Crash Landing on You" 

Just a reminder about our upcoming break: no episodes will be published on September 4th or 11th but we'll have a few pick-of-the-week episodes out for you all (one of them just might be another k-drama).

Outrageously gorgeous blue aliens, electric football, and a heroine with a massive chip on her shoulder are the main components of Jordan's pick of the week: "Blade Dancer" by S.L. Viehl. 

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/127740110-blade-dancer-by-s-l-viehl?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_20 

This is sci-fi (romance) in all of its tropey, laser-gun glory, but there's also an assassin school, a tragic family history, and enough emotional conflict to keep the relationship building until the very end.

A very quick conversation about Katie's pick this week, "This Vicious Grace" by Emily Thiede, and a slightly longer conversation about changes in the publishing game, and hopes to not find ourselves on an Amazon hitlist (the bad kind).

Dear Readers, 

We have hit a reading slump...so instead of slogging through another booktok letdown, we are revealing our undying love for k-dramas. We'll be reviewing "Crash Landing on You" in four parts, releasing on Mondays and Fridays for the next two weeks. 

We're also taking a short break to celebrate the return of sweaters, pumpkin spice, and school buses, so no new episodes will be posted on September 4th and 11th but we'll have new content out by the end of the month. (Check out Foxglove by Adalyn Grace while you're waiting.) 

Cheers!

Katie & Jordan

P.S. Skip to about the 10-minute mark, if you want to get straight to the show review. Katie needed to discover Bo Burnham halfway through our intro.

Think You've Got Mail but with... zombies? "The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy" by Megan Bannen is Jordan's pick this week.
