The world of "Bunny" is back with a story from the bunnies' POV, and that of their first darling. And if none of that makes sense to you... same. It's a wild ride. And it's quite the switch up in opinions from the first book.

"Heated Rivalry" has taken the world by storm with its HBO series based on the book. The girls and the gays are all in love. So is it worth the hype? Is the book the same as the show?

Brandon Sanderson is one of the most popular living authors, and definitely rules king in the fantasy world. "Mistborn" is one of the older works in the Cosmere, but it holds steady in its popularity. Is it still worth the hype?

In our most diverse reading year yet, what books stood out? What books fell flat? And what book ruled them all?

We return to a world created by Rachel Gillig, and it once again did not disappoint. "The Knight and the Moth" tells another dark fairytale where girls drown and gargoyles make jokes. The unique magic system is worth a read for any level of fantasy enjoyer. 

Hamnet is a reimagining of the life of William Shakespeare's wife and children. It's an interesting historical fiction thought exercise, and its new movie adaption is drawing in new readers like crazy. Or maybe it's that Paul Mescal is playing the lead...Video: https://youtu.be/GD60VApKgno

One of the best "hear me out..." books may be Matt Dinniman's "Dungeon Crawler Carl". It's a LitRPG that reads like a video game but is somehow still funny and fast-paced. But is the world built for every kind of reader?Video: https://youtu.be/B1Bnp9sOlFs

The third book in the Red Rising trilogy, "Morning Star" is quite the explosive finish. And it might include some of the best character development we've seen in ages. Video: https://youtu.be/AyivAKuDemE

You know how the song goes. Lyla Sage writes western romances, and TikTok girlies love a good themed romance. "Done and Dusted" will either make you want to move to Wyoming, or never go there at all.

Plenty of fan fictions have been traditionally published lately, but none took quite the rewrite "Alchemised" did. This one tops over 1,000 pages and had to be purged of its previous world. So is it worth the read? (Major trigger warnings)Video: https://youtu.be/Br05Z1WiuI8

Another Ali Hazelwood. Another book Casey refuses to read. Somehow the weirdest one yet? Video: https://youtu.be/ch5iys_dEjE

What is a "Good Woman"? What is power? Olivie Blake takes on these questions and more in "Girl Dinner". It includes some hard to digest themes. Pun intended. Bon appétit.Video: https://youtu.be/QzWivjs4F0w

Miscommunication - but make it serial killers. Brynne Weaver is back with yet another serial killer romance. How does this still work? Somehow, it does. Video: https://youtu.be/6P-u9ehnYLo

Grady Hendrix makes a second pod appearance with "Witchcraft for Wayward Girls" and a deeply researched look at homes for unwed mothers in the 60s/70s. There are indeed witches, but they are not the most horrific part of the story.Video: https://youtu.be/lPy68qInb5o

The First Witch of Boston tells the story of Margaret Jones, an actual woman who was put to death for witchcraft in the 1600s. However, it puts its own spin on the woman's story. Did we predict a love story? Nope - but it is one.Video: https://youtu.be/3O8AqsQ7sFE
