I'll Read What She's Reading

Today the gals are taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting books from years past and asking the ultimate question: would we read it again? They’re diving into how timing may have influenced their original ratings, whether those scores still hold up today, and what they’d rate these books if they were reading them for the very first time now. Tune in as they gush over the stories that have stayed with them long after the final page—and share the ones they’d rather forget altogether.

Dance of Thieves by Mary E Pearson

OPHELIA is an original romantasy fiction series from Hatch, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, where Ophelia finally takes center stage. Book 1 begins in a kingdom where magic is outlawed and the land itself is dying. Ophelia has always been expected to stay silent—agreeable, invisible, safe. But on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, something within her awakens. As she reconnects with Prince Hamlet, heir to a crumbling throne, and his brilliant, guarded friend Horatio, Ophelia is drawn into a dangerous world of court intrigue, hidden power, and forbidden attraction. Caught between love, loyalty, and a magic she cannot deny, she must decide: remain hidden… or risk everything for freedom, desire, and the fate of her kingdom. Narrated by Genevieve Gaunt, this immersive audio drama blends fantasy romance, forbidden magic, and slow-burning desire into a richly cinematic listening experience, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Ideal for fans of romantasy, fantasy romance, Shakespeare retellings, and narrative fiction podcasts, OPHELIA is a bold reimagining of a classic story told across a sweeping trilogy, thoughtfully designed for sleep.

In today's episode, the girls put on their thinking caps and sweat a little bit (ok a lot) as they play a game of "One Has to Go" where they are given a list of 3 bookish things and have to pick one to be gone forever. Will they say goodbye to Xaden? Throw their Kindle away? It's another game of impossible decisions that you can play along with! They also kick off the episode updating you on the books they picked for each other to read and report back their thoughts. Tune in to hear the next round of books they pick!
