    Booktalks Podcast Episode 111: Elle Kennedy's THRILLER Shocked Us

    Thornbird by Elle Kennedy surprised us… because this wasn’t the romance book we expected. In this BookTalks Podcast episode, Kayla and Marissa discuss their July book club pick, Thornbird by Elle Kennedy, and why they think it works best as a thriller with a romance subplot rather than a romance trying to become a thriller. We break down: Ryan’s complicated journey as the daughter of a serial killer Chase and why the broody love interest completely won us over The thriller elements, twists, pacing, and character development How the podcast storyline adds a unique layer to the book Why this could be the perfect “bridge book” for romance readers wanting to try thrillers We also compare it to books like A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and discuss whether the twists landed, which characters frustrated us, and what we’re reading next. Plus, stick around for our next Book Club poll picks: Cowboy Casual Rights of the Starling Killing Floor Out on a Limb What did you think of Thornbird by Elle Kennedy? Was it more thriller or romance? Let us know in the comments!

    Booktalks podcast episode 110: Our Best & Worst Books of 2026 So Far

    We’re halfway through 2026, so it’s time to check in on our reading lives! We’re looking back at the goals we set in January, sharing how many books we’ve read, and revealing the stories that surprised, disappointed, and completely consumed us. We discuss our unexpected Maggie Gates obsession, whether the Fourth Wing series deserves its hype, our plans to continue Red Rising and Shield of Sparrows, and why mood reading has helped both of us read more than ever. We also weigh in on the BookTok debate about whether creators are actually reading every book they claim to finish. Then, we reveal our favorite books of 2026 so far—including Project Hail Mary, The Night We Met, Our Perfect Storm, You Deserve to Know, and Alchemized—along with our biggest disappointments, such as The Shippers, How to Kill a Guy in 10 Dates, and The Night Circus. Plus, Kayla has a major personal update: she’s engaged! Hear the full story of Tom’s Central Park proposal and how he managed to surprise her after a morning filled with suspicious hints. We close out the episode with our reading and podcast goals for the rest of 2026, including finishing several series, tackling our physical TBRs, returning to fantasy reading this fall, and working toward 500 YouTube subscribers.
