  • June Reading Wrap Up: 17 Books, 2 Flops, and a 5-Star Wheel of Time Book!
    We read 17 books in June and had THOUGHTS. From a surprisingly good dark romance to two disappointing hyped books, this wrap-up has it all: spicy fantasy (From Blood and Ash), sci-fi (All Systems Red), classics (Emma + Picnic at Hanging Rock), a pop-culture classic (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), and even more Wheel of Time—where one of us finally gave a book in the series 5 stars! 😱We give spoiler-free takes on each read, share what worked (and what didn’t), and talk about what we’re learning from reading so many books together—especially as book club hosts. Whether you love Stephen King, Jane Austen, or graphic novels like Saga, we’ve got a recommendation—or a rant—for you.Drop your June reads in the comments, and tell us if we’re wrong for being underwhelmed by a certain viral novella 👀📚Timestamps00:00 Intro02:58 From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L.

  • Books We Don’t Agree On 📚 | Why Our Ratings Are So Different
    We’re back with a very requested video — the one where my sister and I talk about the books we totally disagree on 😅📚In our last video, we chatted about the books we both loved and rated highly, but obviously… we don’t always align when it comes to reading taste. So today, we’re getting into the stories that one of us adored and the other just did not vibe with.We’re talking about:✨ what makes a book hit (or flop) for each of us✨ our hot takes on series vs. standalones✨ how our reading preferences differ — and why that’s okay!✨ and a little sibling-style debate (but always with love 🫶)This was so fun to film, and honestly, it gave us a better understanding of what we each look for in a book. Hope it’s just as fun for you to watch!Let us know in the comments if you agree with one of us… or neither 😂And tell us what books you’ve argued about with your own reading buddies!Books MentionedThe Grace Year By Kim Liggett The Picture of Dorian Gray By Oscar WildeMistborn Trilogy By Brandon Sanderson Our Infinite FatesBy Lauren Steven Assassin’s Apprentice Robin Hobb Normal PeopleBy Sally Rooney A Discovery of WitchesBy Deborah HarknessOne for my Enemy By Olivia Blake Let’s connect!Join our Patreon read-and-watch club: patreon.com/KrisandMadsSisterhoodHave a business inquiry?

  • The 17 Books We Read in May: A 1-Star Romantasy, Our Fave of the Year, & First Stephen King!
    We read 17 books in May and wow… it was A LOT. From a 1-star romantasy (sorry Onyx Storm) to one of our favorite books of the year, plus our first-ever Stephen King (which totally surprised us), this wrap-up is packed.We’re talking fantasy, sci-fi, romance, classics, self-help. Oh! And Maddie is finally out of the Wheel of Time slog. We let the TBR wheel pick some of our reads this month too, so things got a little chaotic (in the best way).Come hang out for book reviews, big opinions, and our take on why Robin Hobb is still the queen of epic fantasy (and why George R.R. Martin might need to take notes 👀). Timestamps are below so you can jump around!We mentioned our friend Gina and Michael in the episode. Here are their awesome channels:‪@geenahreads‬ ‪@KistReadsBooks‬ We also mentioned the ‪@TheDiaryOfACEO‬ podcast episode with Anna Lembke.
