    “A Basic Middle Book?" Insurgent | Divergent Book 2 Review & Summary
    Oct 23 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    How is Insurgent for a middle book? Compelling or basic? We’re reading the Divergent series for the first time and today we’re diving deep into Insurgent, book two in the original trilogy. As the “middle book,” which can sometimes be the most difficult to get through in any series, we’re here to answer the question: does this one hold up?

    Tris and Four are figuring out how deep the government conspiracies go and have to make some difficult choices to survive. This has them questioning if they, or the rebels they're supporting are becoming just as tyrannical as those they’re trying to overthrow.

    As we prepare to bring you our deep dive coverage on the new release: The Sixth Faction, and The Last Testimony (out on February 2, 2027) we’re examining these young adult novels with a fine toothed comb. How are they contributing to the “are books political” conversation? Are these stories considered coming of age? And how do they execute science fiction and dystopian themes that are digestible for young audiences? We want to know if the new duology is necessary, timely, and entertaining, and if it’s a money grab or actual quality.

    Oh… and we’ll also be following up on our thoughts regarding Tris and Four and their suspicious similarities to a certain other couple in a certain other series that we’ll now be referring to as "Divergent with Dragons…” Join us for all this, then tune in next Friday for Allegiant, the epic (and polarizing) conclusion to the original trilogy!

    “NEW Divergent Books Coming?” Reading DIVERGENT…for the First Time! | Book 1 Review & Summary
    Oct 16 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We’re reading the Divergent series for the first time! We know, we know… we’re an entire fifteen years late, but our curiosity finally got the best of us and the timing seems pretty perfect.

    Sci-Fi Summer has turned into dystopian sci-fi fall because Veronica Roth decided to come out with a whole new alternate reality duology retelling of the Divergent universe starting with The Sixth Faction. Part one dropped about two weeks ago, and part two, The Last Testimony, releases everywhere on February 2, 2027.

    We’re here to expand our “‘market research” of the dystopian, science fiction, “are books political?” and coming of age genres. We’ve covered The Hunger Games, Wicked, and Red Rising because we recognize how relevant these stories are in our current societal climate and we want to keep these conversations going. Plus, we want to know if the new duology is necessary, timely, and entertaining. Is it a money grab or is it actually good?

    We’ll be releasing a full-length bonus episode on Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, and Four, plus the short story We Can Be Mended, and finally, The Sixth Faction plus the movies! And don’t worry, in February we will follow up with our official ranking and wrap up with The Last Testimony. Join us on Instagram and over on the free Fable app for our spoiler free reading updates.

  • Ep 131 Verity Book VS. Movie Showdown: The BRUTALLY HONEST Review 😬😅

    Ep 131 Verity Book VS. Movie Showdown: The BRUTALLY HONEST Review 😬😅
    Oct 13 2026
    Send us Fan MailOut of all the Colleen Hoover books, Verity came the MOST recommended. Ashley and Liz found themselves ferociously turning the pages of their new favorite read: the romantic thriller Verity, in rapt anticipation, unable to see what could come next from the impossibly complex and unpredictable plot. So captivated by the impeccable character development, suspense, and sheer psychological terror they almost missed their opportunity to see the movie in theaters (with seats and tickets being so scarce and hard to come by due to record sales). Fortunately for everyone, they snapped out of their Colleen Hoover induced trance just long enough to watch the movie that would change both of their lives forever… Wait… is it Opposites Day or did we just need a convenient excuse to get y'all to watch this episode and happened to find that paragraph on a secret flash drive or hidden note? (IYKYK 😵‍💫🤪.) We read our first Colleen Hoover book, watched the movie it was based on… and now we’re here to share our unfiltered thoughts and reviews. Do we understand the fandom? Are we now a part of it? Do we have a fever that can only be cured by more COHO? Or were three of the hottest actors of all time fumbled by a screenplay based on a book that left much to be desired?We answer all of these questions plus discuss the secret (problematic) second epilogue, give you our five sentence summary, book versus movie showdown, and star and spice ratings. We’ve got all this, plus a fave and fail about the over-the-hill-and-through-the-woods adventure journey which was Liz seeing Verity at a Humboldt County movie theater, cold brew coffee fails and Haunted Mansion decor, and a smash or pass all about… you guessed it… Verity.

  • Ep 130 THRESHING DAY! Hmm… Honestly, is it worth reading this bonus book in the Fourth Wing Series?

    Ep 130 THRESHING DAY! Hmm… Honestly, is it worth reading this bonus book in the Fourth Wing Series?
    Oct 8 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Well, we Read Threshing Day. First and foremost we’d like to strongly and emphatically reiterate (because apparently that’s what we do here in the book community) that Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros is NOT book four in the Empyrean Series, so don’t get your hopes up! Okay, now that that’s been said…

    Today we’re covering Threshing Day, book 3.5 in the Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros. It came out a week ago, it’s a 224 page partner novella, and is it worth it? That's what we’re here to answer today! We’ll give you our spoiler free star and spice rating of this somewhat surprising release as we wait for the upcoming official full-length installment in this dragon series with a cult following.

    We’ll discuss if it was necessary. Is it a cash grab? Is it something you can enjoy without reading the rest of the series? Are there spoilers? Easter eggs? Is this multi-pov novella written entirely about Threshing day and each recruit’s meet cute with their soul-bonded dragon chalk full of interesting dragon lore?

    We do have to say that the extensive artwork by @joerequeza.art is completely off the rails amazing so go give him a follow, and don’t be deceived by the gray cover, because it’s what’s on the inside that matters!

    We bring you our unfiltered thoughts, a fave and fail about spooky season movies, and a smash or pass all about dragons.

    Ep 129 “I CONFESS!” Booksellers & Readers fess up to their darkest book secrets | The Bookish Confessio
    Sep 30 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Forgive us, Crows. For we have sinned. It has been zero minutes since we’ve made bookish confessions to our besties. (And it’s not looking like we’re stopping any time soon. 🤷‍♀️😜)

    Today is a no-homework-necessary, look into the camera like it’s 1994 and you’re about to disclose to MTV exactly what you did in secret, type of episode. We kick it off with a big shout out to friend of the pod Anthony Palmini on his amazing recommendation for his most unhinged narration as Red, the Koolaid Man in the sentient object romance Cold Sweat by Vera Valentine. How many stars did we give this spicy gem? Do we find a big glass jug… sexy?

    Then we read off and respond to bookish confessions from Reddit and Threads, spill the Koolaid on our own personal bookish confessions, and then top it all off with a smash or pass “Is this embarassing?” style. I mean really… How many copies of Wuthering Heights do you think Liz has? And to Ashley, we beg the question: how important IS an epilogue, really?

    We hope this episode creates a safe space to disclose your most deviant book behaviors. If you have a confession, send it our way!

    Ep 128 👻 🎃 SPOOKY STORIES + Guessing *1 STAR* Horror Book Reviews!
    Sep 23 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The season of the crows has officially returned and as slightly spooky, elder emo, introverted book girls, it’s our time to shine.

    We invite you to cozy up with a blanket and a crispy Alani, light that overpriced candle, and watch Edward Cullen lean his awkward fingers against tables and trees in the background while we talk fall. (It’s like talking “shop” or “business” but much more serious.) Because we have a fever, and the only prescription is more Halloween!

    Today is a no-homework-required mess-around. We chat about this year’s fall hopefuls, favorite recent spooky reads, and then have some fun guessing popular horror books and movies based off of one star reviews. We even add in some spooky stories from Reddit and a smash or pass to fit the season.

    We hope this episode gets you in the mood and helps ward off the impending darkness-at-5pm doom.

    Ep 127 “Uhhh…” 😬🔥 Burn of the Everflame Review, Summary, and Deep Dive | Kindred’s Curse Saga Book 4
    Sep 15 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Burn of the Everflame, book four and the final installation in The Kindred’s Curse Saga by Penn Cole is the talk of the town in the Romantasy world. Today we’re doing our deep dive, reviewing one of the most anticipated releases of the year… and our opinions might be different than you think.

    After deep diving Spark, Glow, and Heat and having the lovely Penn Cole on the podcast twice to talk about strong female characters, deep themes, and writing under pressure, was Burn what we thought it would be? Did it live up to the expectations we had for the end of Diem and Luther’s story? And when all is said and done, what rating did we officially give it?

    Stick around for special commentary from Penn herself on the emotional ending to her debut series, and get our star rating, spice rating, five sentence summary, faves and least favorites, and our discussion… in detail… about whether Luther is still book boyfriend material or not.
