    • Chapter 12: Book Talk BookTok

      Are you on TikTok? It's filled with many different communities, but today we're focusing on one that really affects us - and you guessed it, that's BookTok. Who knew the book world would infiltrate the TikTok social media app, but it's a community that fiercely believes in and defends reading. We love it! It's introduced us to so many books and authors we wouldn't have found otherwise, and it allows us to connect with others who love reading just as much as we do.

                    In this week’s episode, two major Twi-hards hop on the nostalgia train and discuss all things Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. From our early fangirl days to our recent Twilight renaissance, we dive into the series from start to finish. We are indeed “Super Massive” Twilight fans…mostly for nostalgia purposes, but also because the movies are terrible and yet amazing. We're both apparently very passionate about Twilight because we talked about for 1 1/2 hours. If you listen all the way to the end, you're a trooper!

                    • Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple,
