The Lit Society Book Club

Join us for an ultra-hard game of bookish would you rather! Would Jenae rather defend Coriolanus Snow's crimes or prosecute Aelin's? Would Scarlett choose the Windy City boys over Cassian? Find out this week on the Lit Society Book Club!

This week, we’re taking a little literary field trip to the real places behind some of the most haunting stories ever told. From eerie New England mansions to the sleepy towns and shadowy settings that inspired literary legends, we’re exploring the history, folklore, and real-life mysteries that blur the line between fact and fiction. 

Scarlett and Jenae discuss Burn of the Everflame by Penn Cole, the long-awaited final installment in the Kindred's Curse Saga. The girls discuss their thoughts on the culmination of the series, the parts that broke their hearts, and the characters that they won't forget. Join the Lit Society as they comb through this incredible series!

The girls are back at Basgiath, and discussing all things Threshing Day! Hear our thoughts on our favorite POVs, what we want more of in the series, and some theories for Empyrean books 4 & 5!

What does it actually mean to be a reader in 2026? This week, we’re talking about how technology, BookTok, audiobooks, AI, reading goals, and the endless stream of content around us have changed the way we read, and whether we’re better or worse off for it. We’re also getting into the literacy crisis and asking what we might be losing when reading becomes just another thing competing for our attention.

Your fall TBR just got a little more atmospheric.

This week on The Lit Society, we’re talking books that feel like fall: misty mornings, old houses, crisp leaves, small towns, dark academia, cozy coffee shops, and just the right amount of mystery.

We’re pulling straight from our Kindle highlights and putting our reading memories to the test. Can we actually remember which book we highlighted that line in—or have we simply highlighted so much that everything has become one giant literary blur?

Feeling a little… unwell in your reading life?

Welcome to the Lit Society Literary Pharmacy, where we’re diagnosing your most pressing bookish ailments and prescribing the perfect read. Suffering from a brain slump? Chronic wanderlust? An existential funk? Creative drought? Or perhaps you simply cannot handle another emotionally devastating plot twist? We’ve got a prescription for that.

We’re not doctors, but we are very well-read, so we feel reasonably qualified to recommend a few books.

This week on The Lit Society, we’re talking all things Throne of Glass—our current thoughts, favorite moments, and the inevitable chaos that comes with being deep in a Sarah J. Maas series. Plus, we’re catching up on the latest bookish news, what’s currently on our TBRs, and all the things we’ve been talking about lately.

And because it’s officially fall in Stars Hollow… we have a little Gilmore Girls surprise for you.

In this episode of The Lit Society, we’re discussing Educated by Tara Westover, a powerful memoir about family, identity, education, and finding the courage to build a life of your own.

We unpack Tara’s unconventional childhood, her complicated relationship with her family, and the ways education changed her understanding of herself and the world around her. We’re talking about the moments that shocked us, the relationships that challenged us, and the bigger questions the memoir raises about loyalty, memory, trauma, and what it really means to become your own person.
