Happy Place, Books Slumps and Real Thoughts... with a side of everything.

from Booked & Bitter · host Abbey & Mandy

In this episode, we’re diving into all the things—starting with how our podcast has kind of become chaos (but like… in a charming way). We get into Happy Place by Emily Henry and immediately start sidetracking like it’s our full-time job. Naturally, that spirals into talking about reading slumps, because apparently we can’t just read—we have to emotionally process everything too.We also take a quick detour into real life (as we do), touching on some political and social thoughts—nothing too wild, just us reminding everyone that empathy is free and maybe we should all use it more.From there, it’s a little bit of everything: sports feelings (because why do games hurt our emotions like that?), personal stories, tattoos and of course reading.We also talk about the struggle of being in a reading slump and how frustrating it is when your brain just… refuses to cooperate. But on the flip side, we love connecting with you guys online and how reading keeps us going—even when we’re dramatic and slightly unhinged.Basically, it’s one of those episodes where we talk about books… and then everything else… and somehow it all makes sense by the end. Sort of. 😅Catch us on social media ◡̈  Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Just a reminder - we are not professionals about much... maybe don't take our advice.
