Sorry, I Was Reading

On this week's episode, Jess and Nat give their book recs for those who love watching Lily Collins wear the funkiest outfits ever! Whether recommended for its Parisian setting itself, a main character's journey of self-discovery similar to Emily's, or simply because it has the tropes (slow burn, love triangle) also found in the show, these recs are personally selected from us to you. If you need something to tide you over until season 4 comes out, these are the perfect books for you!

On this week's episode, Jess and Nat truly get into the spooky spirit by speaking about horror books and films! Jess is a little apprehensive about the subject whereas Nat jumps straight in (maybe a bit too enthusiastically).  Topics are covered from Mary Shelley's gothic starts to... Bill Skarsgaard in IT? The episode is definitely a fun one so get comfy, grab some snacks, and enjoy the ride!

Let us know your favorite horror books, movies, or shows!!
