This Is Not the Book Haul You Planned For

Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and bring zero plans. This week’s episode starts with birthday vibes and somehow unravels into hot takes, book haul logistics, and an existential debate about whether the "mentor dies" trope is a literary rite of passage. Amanda wants a birthday book spree. Kat wants rules. And neither of them agrees on how many books one person should be allowed to carry. They dive into: The chaos of viral book buying sprees (and whether they’re sustainable) Barnes & Noble vs. used bookshops (and Amanda’s inner struggle) Tropes of the week: The Mentor Dies and The Backstabbing Mentor Plot twists, overconsumption, and the unread blind dates with books sitting on Amanda’s shelf Also mentioned: The Poppy War, Circe, Water Moon, Pumpkin Spice Café, Ender’s Game, Shadow and Bone, and, of course, Harry Potter. Moral of the story? We should have had an agenda. But chaos is our brand.   📣 Want to join our book club? Sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop.
