#123: Katie Novotny - Book Club pt. 2: Smut, Self-Help, and BookTok Recs to Avoid
from The Galina Rivina Podcastina · host Galina Rivina Podcastina
In this episode, I’m joined by comedian Katie Novotny. Katie returns to do an impromptu book club round two! She shares her reviews of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass, what smut might have to do with divorce rates, why women love fictional men, what she enjoys reading as a palette cleanser, why we mix “dumb” books with prize-winning literature, whether 50 Shades of Grey ruined reading, why we love corny books and Hallmark movies. Plus, we review the Rachel Incident, Look Closer, Glass Castle, the Nightingale, which BookTok recs we hated, why you should use the library, our latest book recommendations, which manifestation books you should read, why Mel Robbins isn’t it, why Twilight might be mormon propaganda, and much more.
