In this crafty episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli put their artistic talents (or lack thereof) to the test in a chaotic game of bookish Pictionary! With only a marker, a whiteboard, and a very questionable understanding of anatomy, each host takes turns drawing stick-figure scenes from popular books while the other tries to guess the title. From hilariously vague scribbles to almost fighting, this episode is full of laughter, wild guesses, and unexpected masterpieces. 

Grab a snack and see if you can guess the book before they do!

In this emotionally packed episode, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez—a book that lured them in with its cute cover but hit hard with its portrayal of grief, family caregiving, and emotional burnout. While the romance is present, it quickly becomes clear that this story is also about the quiet battles happening behind closed doors.

The hosts reflect on the heavy themes woven into the story, including the realities of long-distance relationships, the emotional toll of caretaking, and the ways trauma can linger in everyday life. They especially connect with the book’s portrayal of family chaos, tender moments, and unexpected wisdom (like how food can fix more than just hunger).

From tearful scenes to unexpected laughs (and even a conversation about IRS debt and ugly crying on TikTok), this episode mixes heartfelt reflection with classic Book Fix humor. They also respond to one-star and five-star Goodreads reviews—and they definitely have thoughts.

Abby Jimenez, if you’re listening… next time, maybe warn us better.

With books ranging from sports romances and spicy fantasies to morally gray love interests and unhinged third-act breakups, the hosts try to match the reviews to the right titles they've read. Along the way, they reflect on some of the wildest plots, most questionable characters, and scenes that live rent-free in their minds. Whether you love drama, shade, or just need a good laugh, this episode is a perfect mix of bookish chaos and nostalgia.

In this emotionally charged and unfiltered episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli revisit the Powerless trilogy by Lauren Roberts, a series that famously divided them as readers. What started as a five-star experience for Cheli quickly unraveled into heartbreak and disillusionment—"I lived, I laughed, I loved, I cried... and then you told me it sucked." From drunk filming confessions ("We had to start over—we were just going on tangents!") to cringing over Kai’s tragic one-liners ("I guess the beast doesn't get the beauty"), the duo reflects on how the series spiraled from promise to confusion.

They break down the books from Powerless to Fearless, questioning the purpose of the trials, the ever-shifting love triangle, and the disappearance of key characters like Mac. Whether you’re a #PowerlessStan or just here for the drama, this episode promises hot takes, unresolved feelings, and the occasional poppy field meltdown.

In this fun and unfiltered episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli face off in a hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt tournament to crown the ultimate romance trope. From classics like second chance romance and beauty and the beast to the more controversial step-sibling crush and the bet, the hosts debate each trope's merits—and cringe-factor—with personal anecdotes, dramatic examples (hello, fanfiction and Twilight), and passionate rants.

As the bracket unfolds, they eliminate tropes that feel outdated, problematic, or just plain tired (RIP Insta Love and boss/employee romance) while gushing over their favorites (Grumpy x Sunshine and forced proximity). 

They also take a moment to plug their book club pick (Enchantra by Kaylie Smith), their Patreon and Ko-fi, and share their current fixations—Resident Evil and Hello Kitty Island Adventure, naturally.

Tune in for bookish banter, unfiltered opinions, and a reminder that yes, they may have John Mayer’d a few of the matchups—but it was all in good fun.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli review The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore, the fourth book in the Dream Harbor series. They dive into the signature “insta-love” setup the series is known for—and question whether it ever really works for them.

The book follows Archer, a Michelin-starred chef living in Paris, who’s suddenly called to Dream Harbor to raise a daughter he didn’t know existed after the mother passes away. Enter Iris, a yoga instructor who ends up becoming Olive’s nanny—not because she’s qualified, but because small-town connections and financial need make it happen. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this book!

In this cozy and slightly chaotic book chat episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli kick back for another heart-to-heart about all things books, friendship, and feelings. They reflect on how nice it is to create content without the pressure of speed-reading, and how their dynamic has grown since the early, rigid days of their podcast. With zero structure and maximum vibes, the two hosts talk about the quotes that have emotionally wrecked them, the books that have made them cry in traffic, and the weird comfort of screaming into a steering wheel while listening to an audiobook.

They dive into horror reads and discuss which books would make great film or TV adaptations—including The Devil Takes You Home, Confessions, and Episode 13. But it’s not all praise—Yajaira confesses which reads she wishes she had DNF’d (100% Match, anyone?), while Cheli wishes her bestie would appreciate Angels Before Man the way she does.

In this special book chat episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli sit back, reminisce, and reflect on the books that changed them, frustrated them, or simply vanished from memory. The conversation kicks off with a big question: can a deep book chat with your best friend fix your life? Spoiler alert — they think yes.

Throughout this cozy conversation, they unpack:

• The chaos and glory of reading four books in a weekend
• Why their dual memory recall is unmatched
• The books that started slow but ended in obsession (hello, Six of Crows and Invocations)
• Their “bury me with this book” favorites like The Bridge Kingdom, Shatter Me, Divine Rivals, and Serpent and the Wings of Night
• Their eternal struggle with insta-love and the desperate need for a good slow burn

Yajaira and Cheli also spill on their note-taking habits, voice memos, and how their reading tastes have evolved through the podcast. Whether you're a book lover or just here for the bestie banter, this episode will feel like a warm hangout with your favorite reading duo.
