We both got completely wrecked by The Midnight Train by Matt Haig, the companion to The Midnight Library. And we finally talk about the Siren Mage duology by Kalie Cassidy, because In the Wake of the Ruined drops in July and the yearning genuinely changed us.Plus the Every Year After adaptation that broke our hearts (and not in the good way), House of the Dragon season three, and the July TBR we are absolutely going to lie to ourselves about.In this episode: – The Carly Fortune ranking and where not to start – Why The Midnight Train hit harder than The Midnight Library – The Siren Mage duology and the best yearning we've read in ages – When the Moon Hatched: do we agree with BookTok? – Book vs show: Every Year After, House of the Dragon, Midnight Library – Our wildly unrealistic July TBRIf you love romantasy, contemporary romance, and honest reactions over hype, hit follow and tell us in the comments: where should a Carly Fortune beginner actually start?#romantasy #booktok #bookpodcast #romancebooks #julytbrFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookbitsclubSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BookBitsAndChill
