Bryanna’s back! You might remember her from the first three episodes of Genre’d, and she’s back in the (evolving) studio to talk about the genre that has her in a chokehold: contemporary “book club books”—think Reese, Oprah, and all the buzzy picks you need to be up on.

We get into how she fell out of reading in her 20s (hi, chronic online era), how Sarah J. Maas dragged her right back in, and why she’ll always chase books that spark conversation and eventually become prestige TV. Plus: audiobook obsession, Alexa-as-a-narrator chaos, the real reason romance is the best-selling genre, and a passionate defense of “silly little women’s books” as actually…literature.
