As we gear up for what is sure to be a spooky fall, this episode is a perfect rainy-day listen!

Love them!

I love listening to these clearly great friends talk about books. It makes me feel like I’m discussing my favorite topic (books!) with my friends! Highly recommend.

100% obsessed!!

I mean the chapter recaps are great and wonderful and hilarious but the theory episodes are AMAZING!! Come on it’s ridiculously amazing and aligns with the way my mind works and it’s so fun to just nerd out over these amazing books.

Definitely in my top 3 playlists of the year! Madison and Nicole are so witty! Their banter makes me belly-laugh to no end. The podcast is aptly named- I have had to lower my volume several times.
