Your hosts Aruna and Sam return for yet another season of the podcast! This season begins with a little chat of their reading habits during and summaries of their summers, which, notably, happened in Europe (Scotland and Italy). Despite being extraordinarily busy women abroad, they still found snippets of time here and there to read, so in this episode, they chat about what and how they read over their Eurosummers.

Join your hosts for an in-depth conversation about The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber! Check out our episode on Once Upon a Broken Heart if you want to hear our thoughts on the first book of the series. Stay tuned for the final episode on A Curse for True Love, hopefully coming out before the summer!

After winter break (and a few weeks more), your hosts are back for Season 10 of Turn the Page! The pilot episode of this season isn't really about books; instead, we digress pretty quickly and end up talking about our childhood interests, namely games and comics. A superhero obsession never dies!

Your hosts are not in their usual high-tech recording studio today. Instead, they’re in a university library, packed into a tiny study room. With none of their usual recording equipment—no, not even a microphone—your brave hosts have no choice but to prevail against all odds to somehow record an episode. Their solution? The iPhone Voice Memo app. Hopefully, these circumstances explain the quality, and the meandering nature of, today’s episode. Think of this (perhaps familiar) situation: you’re in a study room with a friend, under the pretense of getting work done, but just can’t seem to stop chatting about anything and everything. That’s the vibe of this episode.

It’s (finally) getting cold here in Tucson, so here are some books that—in our opinions—seem to match the chilly weather vibe. There’s some belated spooky book recs, lots of historical fiction, and even a cutesy picture book! You can also grab any of these books to help unwind before bed, especially as we head into the end of the semester (we’re feeling the stress too).

Finally, a romance that we both love! Just as the title suggests, today’s episode is a deep dive into The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston, a wonderful contemporary romance with a dash of magic. We talk about working through grief, chasing your dreams, and, of course, falling in love. Join us as we unpack everything we loved about this book! WARNING: major spoilers for The Seven Year Slip ahead, so please stop listening if you would like to enjoy this book spoiler-free.  Find us on the following platforms: Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠@turnthepage.podcast⁠⁠ Sam’s bookstagram: @says_books PRR Instagram: ⁠⁠@pinereadsreview⁠⁠ PRR Twitter: ⁠⁠@pinereadsreview⁠⁠ PRR Website: click ⁠⁠here⁠⁠!

It may be autumn for most of the Northern Hemisphere right now, but, unfortunately, the weather continues to cruise along in the blistering triple-digits here in Tucson. However, we are mentally done with summer (it’s literally October) even though it’s not done with us, so here is a short recap of some of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) summer reads!

Of course we couldn't spend just one episode talking about the fantastical wonder that is Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber, so here is part 2 for all of you to enjoy!

Welcome back! After a summer separated by a few hundred miles, Sam and Aruna are finally back in the same city for another amazing year at the University of Arizona, and that means the long-awaited (right?) return of Turn the Page! An episode aimed at recapping summer reads is quickly derailed (as per usual) once Aruna brings up her latest read: Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber. If you’ve been following the podcast, or, honestly, listened to any episode at all, you know that Sam is a diehard fan of Stephanie Garber and this series. So of course we spend the whole episode chatting about it! Stay tuned to a future episode all about The Ballad of Never After—which Aruna is trying to finish as soon as possible amidst the flurry of things-to-do that is college.
