#40: Rachel Reid’s Surprise Appearance in Toronto with Simona Stallone

This week on Off The Shelf, Morgann sits down with content creator Simona Stallone to talk about all things BookTok, reading habits, and building a real-life book community. From overhyped books and underrated favourites to fanfiction, audiobook speeds, and “reading based on vibes,” they get honest about what they’re actually reaching for lately. Plus, Simona shares how Book Girls Toronto turned into a space where readers can show up, connect, and make friends through books.CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction1:10 - 1 Year Anniversary of Off The Shelf2:10 - Overhyped and Underhyped Booktok Books7:05 - What Simona is Reading Right Now13:10 - The Book Girls Toronto24:35 - Rachel Reid Showing Up at Heated Rivalry Trivia28:35 - 24 Hour Read-A-Thon32:25 - Out of Shape OlympicsFOLLOW US:Morgann BookTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgannbook?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morgannbook/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MorgannBook Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/morgannbook Simona Stallone:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theotherstallone/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherstallonedailyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theotherstalloneOff The ShelfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/offtheshelf.podcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@offtheshelf.podcast?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Off.TheShelfPodcast Hosted by: Morgann BookCreated by: Bookish Media, Morgann Book, and Thomas Johnston Executive Producers: Morgann Book & Thomas Johnston Produced by: Stefanie MacchiusiAssociate Post Producer and Editor: Ricki Biramontes Hosted on Acast.
