Micaela is back to discuss our October book club, Sense and Sensibility! She was supposed to discuss some highlights of her Italy trip but forgot so stay tuned for that at some point! We all really enjoyed the movie and Kyleigh and Hannah enjoyed the book as well.  Currently Reading: Once Again Always by Amanda Gayle Love Felt Like This by Julie Olivia The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese

Well, the day we thought we'd never see is finally here… Micaela has left the podcast! For one whole week. Yes, we're being dramatic, but we love our girl! Kyleigh and Hannah hold down the fort in today's episode as they chat about everything from the latest additions to their TBRs to their very strong feelings about Ciera being voted off DWTS. Don't worry, Micaela will be back next week for our book club episode on Sense and Sensibility! Spoiler alert: she hasn't actually read the book (with our full permission, of course).   Currently Reading: A Court of Wings and Ruin by SJM A Court of Silver Flames by SJM Grady Lake by J.L. Hyde

WAY back in the day (Episode 11, to be exact!), we played Would You Rather with some bookish questions, and we decided it was time to bring it back for Episode 185! A huge thank-you to everyone who submitted questions! We had so much fun answering them, and clearly, you know us well because so many of your questions revolved around Alchemised and just how much we disliked it. Needless to say, your submissions gave us a good laugh! Be sure to grab a copy of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and join us for our October Book Club! Currently Reading: A Court of Wings and Ruin by SJM A Court of Silver Flames by SJM Love Felt Like This by Julie Olivia Where You Lead by Melissa Grace

Well… we're back with another cursed book club read: Verity by Colleen Hoover. We would like to formally apologize to everyone who read this book and didn't like it, we're sorry we made you read this. For those of you who enjoyed it, listen with caution because we did not have great things to say about both the book and movie! We're crossing our fingers that next month's book club, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, will treat us a little better.

Basically, it's a little bit of everything. And because no episode would be complete without some kind of chaos, you also get to experience Micaela discovering a spider by her live on the pod.    Make sure to grab a copy of our September Book Club, Verity by Colleen Hoover. We'll be discussing the book AND movie in a couple weeks!   Currently Reading: Empire of Storms by SJM Tower of Dawn by SJM Kingdom of Ash by SJM Once, Again, Always by Amanda Gayle The Betrayal of Cora Wexford by Bethany Joy Lenz

Grab your favorite cozy drink and join us for bookish chaos, questionable strategy, and the ultimate fall reading showdown.

It finally feels like we're back in our reading groove, and we couldn't be more excited to spend the next two months theorizing, speculating, and counting down.

This is the summer of random episodes, and this one is no different! We chat about some book news, some TV news, and share lists of books we've recently added to our TBRs, as well as the ones we want to read before summer is over. True to the It Gets Good fashion, we all came into this episode with completely different ideas of how to structure our lists… and, naturally, chaos ensues. We're all over the place in this one, but honestly, we had such a great time recording it, and we hope you have just as much fun listening! Make sure to grab a copy of our August Book Club pick, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
