Description
Read a Friggin’ Book is a mother-daughter podcast where bonding meets books and banter. Each episode, we dive into a young adult fiction novel, reviewing the drama, the tropes, the twists, and the cringe with a healthy dose of humor (and occasional eye rolls). What started as a compromise to delay social media turned into our favorite way to connect: over stories, sass, and sarcastic commentary. Whether you’re a fellow YA fan or just here for the laughs, we’ve got a seat saved for you. 📚 Follow us on Instagram @readafrigginbookpod or join the fun on Facebook at Read a Friggin Book. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

YouTube/Discord Live - The Naturals: Chapters 31-38
2026/11/12
Okay! We figured out how to make the mic work on YouTube and this is our official rerecording before we take our one week break. :)
That being said this is the last installment of The Natural by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and oh my goodness is there a lot of whiplash. Listen in while Shelby tries to make sense of love sick teenagers and their emotionally stunted mentors.
Also, Charlie won't admit it, but I'm considering this episode to be proof that I'm funny.
See you guys on 11/24 with the first 10 chapters of Gilded Blade and on 11/25 for the first FIVE chapters of Killer Instincts.
