We are finally reviewing The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins! We might be a little obsessed with the Hunger Games trilogy and now it's appropriate to talk about it. This novel takes place during the tenth Hunger Games and is told from the perspective of Coriolanus Snow, a capitol mentor. Tune in as we discuss how this prequel sheds some light on the development of the Hunger Games, how we felt about the narrator, and our theories about the ending.

Today's book review is The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin. This is a heartfelt novel about two patients in neighboring wards who strike up an unlikely friendship. This is definitely one of those books that tears at your heartstrings and makes you appreciate every moment you spend living. Please join us as we discuss our thoughts on the book, the crime of having to return popular library brooks, and the decision making behind picking the perfect plane book.

Today we are recapping our 2025 quarter 1 reading journey! This year has seen a lot of change for us and we are so excited to share our thoughts with you all.

Do you ever wish you liked a book more than you actually did? Unfortunately, that was Amy's experience while reading today's book. Don't Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross is the second book in a paranormal romance series about a family of witches. Tune in to join our discussion about why we think Amy didn't like this sweet urban mystery fantasy. On the other hand, I found it surprisingly delightful! Let us know what you thought!

We've been on a reading grind and we're back with another book review! Today we're discussing Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, an enemies-to-lovers YA fantasy novel. Thank you BookTok because this book was a fantastic read! We chat about what we enjoyed, sing the praises of duologies, and try to think of sequels we enjoyed. Of course, any time sequels come up we have to talk about Iron Flame. Somehow we end up comparing The Empyrean series with the Harry Potter series and their ability to maintain their relevance and audience.

Today we are stepping out of our comfort zone with our review of Breakfast at the Honey Creek Cafe by Jodi Thomas. This is a contemporary romance about a small town in Texas where the mayor finds herself in a little bit of trouble. We went into this novel with many expectations and were woefully incorrect. Tune in to listen to our review and hear Amy's ideas on how it could have been better written!

Today, we are reviewing When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker. This is a fantasy romance that was suggested by booktok for being similar to Fourth Wing. However, both Amy and I agree that opinion may have been exaggerated. And that is one of the few things that we agree on about this book. Tune in to find out more! Whether you enjoyed this book or not, you will agree with at least one of us.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today, Amy and I are giving a quick recap into what we've been reading recently, followed by a review of I Hope This Doesn't Find You by Ann Liang, a classic academic rivals to lovers YA novel that is one of Amy's 5-star reads. We also talk about how underrated YA books are and discuss a couple examples of our favorite YA reads. Let us know if you agree!

We are back in 2025 with a book review of Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig. This is the sequel to One Dark Window that we reviewed in December. If you haven't checked that episode out, go give it a listen! This is the final book in the duology and we heard that it is even better than the first book. Come find out if we agree with that analysis and how we cope with the multiple POVs (FOUR!!).
