May Madness: Book Slumps, Screen Adaptations, & Our TBR ExplosionsHey bookworms! Welcome back to the My Sister's TBR. This month is a whirlwind of bookish excitement, from book-to-screen announcements to a teetering TBR pile that's threatening to topple over. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's dive into the May madness!Stacey's Reading Rollercoaster 🎢I'll be honest, folks, I'm in a bit of a reading slump. My attention span is shorter than a TikTok video, and I'm jumping from book to book like a caffeine-fueled squirrel. Currently, I'm bouncing between "Ranger" by Dr. Rebecca Sharp (hot AF!), "Godkiller" by Hannah Kaner (fantasy vibes), "An Offer from a Gentleman" by Julia Quinn (Bridgerton anyone?), and of course, our featured read, "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks (pass the tissues). It's a chaotic mix, but hey, sometimes you just gotta embrace the literary chaos!Rebecca's Reading Rampage 🚀Unlike my scatterbrained sister, I'm having a fantastic reading month. I'm still riding the Freida McFadden wave (can't get enough of her twisty thrillers!), currently devouring "The Coworker" by McFadden, "Home is Where the Bodies Are" by Jeneva Rose (UnREAL), and "Devourer of Men" by Nikki St. Crowe (Our girl seriously surprised us with this one!). But honestly, if you haven't discovered McFadden yet, what are you waiting for?From Page to Screen 🎥May is a HUGE month for book-to-screen adaptations news, and we're geeking out! We discuss the upcoming "Fourth Wing" series (dragons!), Elle Kennedy's "Girl Abroad" (Bridgerton vibes!), and a few other juicy projects in the works. Trust us, you won't want to miss our full episode for the details and our opinions.May's TBR Temptations 🔥Our TBR piles are officially out of control. We're most excited for "I Hope This Finds You Well" by Natalie Sue, "My Darling Dreadful Thing" by Johanna Van Veen, "Lies and Weddings" by Kevin Kwan, "This Summer Will Be Different" by Carley Fortune, "Everything We Never Said" by Sloan Harlow, "When Among Crows" by Veronica Roth, "The Paradise Problem" by Christina Lauren, and "All My Love" by Morgan Elizabeth.My Sister's TBR is a reader-supported publication.

Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit
