    Pre author interview prep: Diving into the world of ZODIAC ACADEMY & the twisted sisters 💫✨

    This episode has been a long time coming and we meant every word of it 🖤 Before our interview with the authors of Zodiac Academy drops next week, we wanted to dedicate a whole episode to the series that literally started everything for us. The books that brought us together, turned us into the readers we are today, and eventually led to us starting Gorls Unplugged. No big deal or anything 😂 We're getting into when we first read the series, our recommended reading order if you're just starting out, our full series ranking, a deep dive into the authors' other series', and we finish things off with a very important game of snog marry pie with the characters from the Solaria universe. Next week's interview episode is going to be amazing, so follow us to notified as soon as it drops! Consider this is your prep 📚✨

    Manifesting our best year yet | Reading goals, vision boards and keeping motivation ✨💫

    This week we are talking about goal setting and the ways we try to keep ourselves motivated throughout the year. We chat about how we set personal goals, whether vision boards are actually more helpful than traditional resolutions, and how spirituality and mindset can play a role in staying focused on what you want. We also get into our bookish goals, reading habits we want to improve, and how realistic it really is to stay motivated once the excitement of January disappears. If you have ever made a vision board, set ambitious reading goals, or promised yourself this would be the year you finally get your life together, this episode will hopefully feel very relatable!

    Bookish drama and a beginning of the year reading update! 👀

    This week we’re doing a short and sweet catch up on what’s been happening in the book world! 📚 We briefly touch on the anti-intellectualism debate and the ongoing “audiobooks aren’t reading” discourse on BookTok, talk about the recent tension between H. M. Wolfe and K. M. Moronova, and chat about the comparisons between Powerless and Red Queen. Alongside the drama, we’re sharing our favourite reads of the year so far and the 2026 releases we’re already excited about 👯‍♀️ It’s 28 minutes of book space updates, hot topics, and personal reading highlights!

    From BookTok to Hollywood - The adaptations we’re excited (and nervous) for

    Welcome back to Gorls Unplugged! It's 2026 and we're finally back with a new episode after our extended festive break! We hope you all had a lovely celebration or rest with your fam and friends 💕 In today's episode, we’re chatting about the book-to-screen adaptations coming in 2026 and beyond - from romance favourites to nostalgic classics and the adaptations BookTok is already emotionally attached to. 📚 We dive into recent releases like Heated Rivalry, People We Meet on Vacation, and the newest season of Bridgerton, talking chemistry, casting, and why romance adaptations can be so hard to get right. We also explore the insanely popular Tell Me Lies, asking what it is that makes us all SO obsessed with messy relationships on screen? 👀 We're also looking ahead to discuss what’s coming next, including Off Campus, Wuthering Heights, and The Magic Faraway Tree — touching on fandom expectations, modern casting, and whether some stories feel too sacred to adapt 💫 And finally, we let ourselves speculate about the adaptations BookTok already has strong opinions on — from Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage, and Anna Huang, to fantasy favourites like Fourth Wing and Quicksilver. 🐉 ✨ Let us know which adaptation you’re most excited for — and don't forget to help me persuade Tor to watch We Were Liars 🤞🏼 P.S if you'd like a full list of book to screen adaptations coming out in 2026 and beyond, head over to our IG: @gorlsunplugged ✅
