    SEASON 2 FAVES: What If Our Favorite Book Characters Were Social Media Influencers?

    Join us as we revisit our most-favorited episodes from Season 2! Most book characters would be terrible influencers, and yet, some would absolutely thrive on social media in ways you never expected. What if your favorite characters from Sarah J. Maas, The Hunger Games, and even fantasy worlds embarked on influencer careers? Turns out, they’d fit surprisingly specific profiles from luxe travel and cryptic captions to fiery rants and deep bookish debates. In this playful episode, we decode which character would be the ultimate luxury influencer, who would be a moody bookstagrammer, and who would be the funny gym bro of the book world. We break down exactly why Aelin from Throne of Glass would be dripping in diamonds posting secret exotic pics, how Feyre would thrive as a cozy artist influencer, and which fierce characters would be calling people out in live streams with their no-holds-barred honesty. Plus, discover why Katniss would barely post, and how Nesta just might be your next favorite chaotic storytime streamer. 📖 Join our Virtual Book Club: ⁠https://fable.co/club/two-chicks-and-a-plot-twist-with-two-chicks-and-a-plot-twist-487984389220⁠ **Be sure to check out the All Things Book Related Facebook group for more bookish fun: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17qrT2kDux/⁠⁠⁠ 💬 Let’s Connect: Follow us on social media for updates and more bookish content and giveaways: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandaplottwist/⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567707466670⁠⁠⁠ Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/TwoChicksandaPlotTwist?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠ 🎧 Subscribe & Stay Tuned: Don’t miss our upcoming episodes where we’ll discuss more of our book club reads and chat with amazing authors.
