Spill the Spine

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD! If you haven’t read Threshing Day, proceed accordingly.

We’re back at Basgiath, and apparently what we really needed was MORE dragons, MORE chaos, and absolutely no emotional stability.

This week, We  dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros and attempt to discuss thirteen stories, their characters, their dragons, their choices, and all the chaos that comes with being back in the Empyrean world.

We came to talk about dragons.

We stayed for the chaos.

We left with approximately 47 new questions, several questionable opinions, emotional damage, and absolutely no idea how we got here.

We’re talking dragon bonds, favorite characters, questionable decisions, moments that had us yelling at our microphones, and all the things that made us stop and go, “WAIT… WHAT?!”

Did we analyze the book? Sure.

Did we overanalyze everything? Obviously.

Did we get distracted approximately every 12 seconds? You already know.

At this point, we’re not even sure if we read Threshing Day or if Threshing Day read US. 

So grab your dragon, buckle up, and join two girlies who were absolutely NOT emotionally prepared for another trip to Basgiath.

Because apparently we enjoy suffering.

We’re back, and this time we’re getting a little… unwell.

For Episode 13, we’re diving into Crown Me Dead and Crown Me Yours by Liv Zander, and let’s just say these books gave us PLENTY to talk about. From the dark romance chaos to the characters who make you question every life choice that led you to this book, we are once again trying to discuss a book like normal people.

Spoiler alert: we are not normal people.

There are opinions. There are questions. There are moments where we absolutely had to stop and say, “Wait… WHAT?” And, naturally, there is a healthy amount of screaming about fictional people.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and join us while we attempt to unpack all the darkness, drama, obsession, and questionable decisions packed into these books.

Because apparently, this is what we consider a good time.

We said we were going to read a hockey romance… and somehow ended up emotionally invested in two professional hockey players who have spent YEARS convincing everyone they can’t stand each other. 

This week on Spill the Spine, we’re diving into Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid — where Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are the ultimate rivals on the ice, while their relationship off the ice is a whole different story.

We’re talking enemies-to-lovers, secret relationships, hockey drama, questionable decision-making, emotional damage, and two men who apparently think communication is optional. 

Did we love the rivalry? Did we scream at the characters? Did we have THOUGHTS? Obviously.

Come hang out with us as we spill the spine, rate the book, and inevitably get distracted by approximately 47 other things along the way.

Spoiler warning: This episode contains spoilers for Home Is Where the Bodies Are.

This week we are diving into Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose—and let's just say, things at home are looking a little... suspicious. 

We’re talking family secrets, questionable decisions, buried skeletons (literally and figuratively), and all the twists that kept us guessing. Was anyone actually trustworthy? Probably not. Did we have theories? Absolutely. Were we prepared for where this story went? Not even a little.

Grab your coffee , settle in, and come spill the spine with us!

This week on Spill the Spine, we're lacing up our skates and heading to Maple Hills to talk all things Icebreaker by Hannah Grace.

From forced proximity and shared ice time to hockey captain Nate Hawkins setting the standard for fictional book boyfriends, we're breaking down everything we loved (and maybe a few things we didn't). We chat about the chemistry, the friendships, the swoony moments, the drama, and whether this BookTok sensation lives up to the hype.

As always, expect plenty of off-topic tangents, questionable opinions, laughs, and a healthy amount of chaos because staying on topic has never really been our thing.

Grab your favorite drink, settle in, and come spill the spine with us.

Surprise! We didn't read a book this week... but that definitely didn't stop us from talking.

In this episode, We take a break from reviewing a romance novel and catch up on everything else. From work stories and everyday chaos to the books we're most excited to read next, this episode is basically what happens when two book besties hit record without a reading assignment.

We chat about what's been keeping us busy, the upcoming releases we're dying to get our hands on, and, of course, get sidetracked more than once. If you've ever needed a palate cleanser between books or just wanted to hang out with friends who love to ramble about books (and everything else), this one's for you.

This week on Spill the Spine, We are diving back into the world of Briar U with The Score and The Goal by Elle Kennedy. We’re talking hockey boys, surprise feelings, questionable decisions, found family, and the kind of relationship drama that had us yelling at our books.

From Dean's commitment issues and Allie's chaos-fueled choices in The Score to Tucker and Sabrina giving us one of the sweetest (and most stressful) stories in The Goal, we're breaking down our favorite moments, character growth, and everything that made us laugh, swoon, and occasionally want to throw the book across the room.

As usual, we hand out our star ratings, get wildly off-topic, and somehow spend way too much time discussing everything except the books.

Grab your favorite drink, lace up your skates, and join the chaos.

We’re back at Briar U this week talking about The Mistake by Elle Kennedy and WOW… Logan really looked at one bad decision and said “let me make this everyone’s problem.”

This episode has:
  Hockey boy chaos
  Emotional damage
  Freshman Grace absolutely standing on business
  Us yelling about communication for an hour
  Morgan and Bre getting distracted every five minutes

We discuss Logan’s spiral, whether his redemption arc worked on us, and why the Briar U boys continue to need supervised emotional support. Somehow we also end up talking about random life chaos, BookTok, and probably everything except the plot for at least ten minutes.

If you love messy hockey romances, groveling men, found family, and chaotic bestie energy, come hang out with us. ☕📚

This week on Spill the Spine, we tried to discuss Daggermouth by H. M. Wolfe…but honestly? We blacked out a little. This book came in hot, stabbed us emotionally, and then left us to deal with the consequences. We’re yelling, we’re confused, we’re questioning every life choice that led us here. Characters? Unstable. Plot? Unhinged. Us? Absolutely not okay.

Somewhere in this episode we do talk about the book—between spirals, side rants, and whatever else derailed us. Proceed with caution…or don’t. We didn’t.

Strap in, because this week we’re hitting 200 mph with Overtake by S.J. Sylvis—and things get messy fast.

We’re diving into Formula 1 chaos, rival racing dynasties, and the ultimate enemies-to-lovers showdown between cocky golden boy Rome Pierce and the boss’s daughter/crew chief who absolutely cannot stand him… until she maybe can’t stay away. When a shocking team switch forces these two to work together, the tension goes from professional rivalry to very personal real quick. 

Expect us to break down the banter, the slow-burn (or not-so-slow 👀), and all the drama of forced proximity in the high-stakes world of racing. We’re talking:
 rivals to lovers
 workplace tension
 secret romance vibes
 and a whole lot of “I hate you…wait never mind” energy

Did we love the F1 setting? Are we now racing romance girlies? Did Rome win us over or make us want to throw hands? Tune in for all our unfiltered thoughts, chaotic tangents, and probably a few moments where we forget we’re supposed to be talking about the book.

Buckle up—it’s a ride.
