    Ep 112 Liz makes Ashley Return to Oz, was it worth it? | West of Wicked by Nikki St Crowe

    Send us Fan Mail Did you see that we got to interview Nikki St. Crowe?! When the Queen of spicy fairytale reimaginings calls, you answer and promptly cover her new book West of Wicked!  We thought we’d made it out of the Oz universe alive and *relatively* unscathed but “spoiler alert* we got sucked right back in. Are we happy about it? Listen on to find out.  West of Wicked is book one in the Great and Terrible Land trilogy, with book one out now, and book two East of Envy scheduled to release on November third of this year! So buckle up for a whole new take on Dorothy, the witches, and her most beloved companions.  Oz is creepier and dark, Dorothy is an older and more powerful badass, the Scarecrow is tall, dark and handsome, the Tin Man is a mercenary with a bionic arm, and the Lion and Wizard… you’ll just have to read to see. Stick around for our spoiler free reviews, spice ratings, deep dive summary (brought to you by Ashley this time!) and a lovely side tangent where Liz plays “the cups.” We apologize in advance for the chaos. But listen, we’re not in Kansas anymore. 🤷‍♀️ We’re bringing you all of this, plus a weekly fave and fail with When the Moon Hatched, a car buying fiasco, and a funny catchphrase experiment, and a themed smash or pass, Oz style… with not one, but TWO bionic arms. 😏 Don't be shy, subscribe!

    Ep 111 Let’s UNRAVEL Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry | Book Reviews, Recap, Summary

    Send us Fan Mail Rites of the Starling, Rites of the Starling, Rites of the Starling…if you say it three times, does The Guardian appear? 😂  We jest, because we know this second installment in the Shield of Sparrows series by Devney Perry is highly rated, but definitely somewhat polarizing because of its unique storytelling style, and the introduction to completely new characters for half of the entire book! You either love that or hate it… or begrudgingly love it by the end because the payoff is more than satisfying!  Missed our Shield of Sparrows Recap? Watch it here https://youtu.be/Zq5SB3g-yT4?si=QZQjskGa8q4HB8_J Shield of Sparrows LIVE Book Club Discussion | https://www.youtube.com/live/iMUSO75MiIE?si=L_5EicK5LAUP6RUe Today we’re bringing you our spoiler-free reviews and recommendations before we move into all the spoiler-y details including (but not limited to) our “Five Sentence” Plot Summary, notable characters, monsters, places, lore, and Easter eggs. And our usuals like favorite and least favorite parts, characters, and tropes, reviews, audiobook tea, and unanswered questions. Because what DO we know?! That book three will be released on March 9th of next year, and we’re coming to the party prepared!  Check out our deep dive AND Book Talk Live coverage of Shield of Sparrows and our ongoing Fable chats for both books if you need a refresher, are trying to decide if this series is for you, or even if you just need someone to scream at once you put the pieces together! We’re here for you. And trust us, you’ll need this support group, just like Odessa could probably use one right about now. 😬 We’re bringing you all of this, plus a weekly fave and fail current NON-Pod reads, and an entirely Rites of the Starling themed smash or pass!  Don't be shy, subscribe!

    Ep 110 *WHAT HAPPENED IN* Shield of Sparrows? Recap Before Reading Rites of the Starling | Review & Summary Deep Dive

    Send us Fan Mail So what happened in Shield of Sparrows? Well, we will tell ya! We’re not sure about you, but we know that when we love a book… like five star love… infinity star obsession-level love… we forget absolutely everything that happened. It’s a black out phenomenon that cannot be explained. Which is exactly what we both experienced last year when we read Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry for the first time. Go check out our live Besties & the Book Club playback (linked below) and our ongoing Fable chats for even more SOS content! So here we are almost a year later after a full reread, and this time we’re prepared! Because we want to help all of you recap this amazing book in preparation for our deep dive into the second installment (out now!) Rites of the Starling, which drops in just one week! And eventually we’ll need to look back when book three comes out next year… boy are these NOT the books to go into without thorough recaps! Today we’ll give our spoiler free star and spice ratings and then get into a full spoiler-y recap, notable characters, creatures, places, lore, and Easter eggs so you have an easy go-to guide to prepare. Then of course we dive into tropes, characters, reviews, the audiobook, and even fancasting! Because, why not? It’s becoming a movie after all!  We’re bringing you all of this, plus a weekly fave and fail and a bear related smash or pass! Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Today she’s here to talk a little bit about herself, the book community she’s built, and her favorite books and authors, but we think the best way to get to know someone is just by inviting them to a hang and chill sesh, so that’s what we did. And guys… turns out Kat has now been hired as our third cohost because we couldn’t stop the yapping! (We joke… but honestly, if we did want a third cohost (or to start a band), Kat, you’d be her. 🫶🤘) You guys love unpopular opinions, smash or passes, unhinged questions, and am I the a hole situations… so this episode is us talking ALL of those things.

    Ep 108 *listen to this* When The Moon Hatched Recap BEFORE Reading Ballad of Falling Dragons!! Deep Dive, Summaries, and Breakdowns

    Send us Fan Mail Remember two years ago (almost to the day!) when this new dragon book came onto the Romantasy scene called When The Moon Hatched, we voted for it as a Besties & the Book Club read (going in completely blind), and it took us all by storm?! Well, we do!  We’re here today to officially deep dive When the Moon Hatched by the amazing Sarah A. Parker to finally do one of our favorite dragon books of all time justice. Hey… it might even be our most favorite dragon book to date. Just sayin’… The world building is insane, the magic system complex, the writing immaculate, and the CHARACTERS?! Don’t even get us started on Raeve and Kaan… they are unmatched. However, we understand that this isn’t necessarily a book that everyone can digest easily. This was a reread for both of us and as we took notes, looked over the index, and mapped this episode out for you it became increasingly clear exactly how much vital info. we missed the first time. So today is all about recapping, talking our faves and fails dragon edition, sharing lore, speculations, and Easter eggs with you in preparation of the release of book two in the Moonfall Series: The Ballad of Falling Dragons out on May 19th! If you’ve already read it and you need a refresher, we hope this helps! If you’re new to Moonfall and you want our spoiler free reviews at the top of the episode, we’ve got you! And don’t forget to jump into our free Fable book club chat for When the Moon Hatched (book two coming soon!) if you need to debrief and check out our initial reactions to book one at the beginning of episode 11!

    Little Women Book VS Movies Deep Dive Discussion ( + Christian Bale VS Timothée Chalamet)

    Send us Fan Mail Our 2026 Classics Series is coming to a close with today’s very special episode covering not only the 1868 novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, but also the 1994 and 2019 film adaptations. We deep dive, rate and review, and rank them all. Was the book our favorite this time around? Or did Christian Bale’s hair or Greta Gerwig’s feminist-leaning script steal our hearts?   This episode is our response to the many things that so many female authors across centuries have been using literature to say. Women’s lives are important when examining the simple mundanity of their day to day experiences, as well as their extraordinary contributions and achievements. Not just because we are people, but because to exist in society as a woman is to understand that our personal lives are never separate from politics, religion, gender constructs, economics and all the other systemic influences that determine one’s position.  All three iterations of this amazing story hold such important lessons and criticisms, not unlike the other two novels we previously covered: Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. We hope that you enjoyed our reading guides as well as our deep dive coverage into these classic novels because we plan to cover more next year! ANNNND… Stick around till’ the end for some fun Little Women lore and our very first announcement of what HIGHLY REQUESTED and POPULAR dystopian science fiction series we’ll be covering this summer, beginning in July!

    Ep 107 Have you tried DYSTOPIAN ROMANTASY? Why you need to read Above the Ashes + Deep Dive!

    Send us Fan Mail Did you read The Hunger Games or Divergent and love it with your whole heart but want more adult romance… or maybe even some fantasy? Do you love dystopian shows like The Walking Dead and Fallout but wish the entire time for those main characters to just kiss already!? We know we’re not alone in this, and we know that Above the Ashes by K.M. Lister, book one in her Survivors of the Smoke series, will scratch that itch. Today’s episode is our follow up deep dive into this dystopian romantasy after our spoiler free author interview! We talk about all things post-apocalyptic and dystopian with one of our favorite indie authors, get to know her story and inspiration, and discuss themes, sequels, characters, and even some fun announcements. So today we’re diving into ALL the spoilers, giving our five sentence summary and reviews, and basically convincing you all to read this book! Above the Ashes has multi-pov, found family, hidden identity, witches, fae, a curse, multiple realms, a slowww burn, and all the amazing world building we expect from the first fantasy book in a series! It leaves us with an amazing cliffhanger and the promise that book two will take us to other realms and expand this dystopian hellscape in the most unique ways. And we cannot wait!  Stick around for all this, a fave and fail Disney cruise and upcoming reads edition, and a smash or pass with a really big lumberjack selling paper products, and a classic tiger from a childhood classic.
