Episode 12: The Absence of Genre + Review of "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry"

Episode 10: Booktok, Book Slumps, and Book Hauls
Long time no see! Instead of talking about reading and reviewing a book, I thought we'd talk about something more important: NOT reading and spending time on social media! How healthy! All jokes aside, I've been in a major book slump lately and am super excited to get back on my grind, but I've...

Episode 9: The Celebrity Memoir + Review of I'm Glad My Mom Died
Celebrity memoirs always sell. Why? Because they always give the illusion that you are learning more about the person you are reading about. They are capitalizing off of your interest in their lives, their careers, and their stories that have yet to be told. Most of the time, they seem to...

Episode 8: The Adaptation + Review of The Summer I Turned Pretty
We all know what they say: "The book is better than the movie!". The adaptation is usually always set up for failure, and anticipation is high while expectations are low. In today's episode, I wanted to do a deep dive on adaptations. What makes a good one? What makes a bad one? How can we avoid...

Episode 7: The Graphic Novel + Review of Heartstopper
This is either my worst or best episode yet, you decide! I go through a lot of different emotions throughout this 33 minute episode, so if you want to hear me yell in rage and excitement, and hear me borderline cry, come along for the ride. I review Heartstopper and share my argument that I...

Episode 6: The Self Help Book + Review of "Atomic Habits"
I don't know about you, but I am so sick and tired of someone telling me that I am a project in need of constant repair and that they have all the answers to how to turn my life around. Let me guess: it involves getting up at the crack of dawn, eating kale, and running my own multi-million dollar...

Everyone loves a good murder mystery. What's not to love? From Sherlock Holmes to Nancy Drew, these often formulaic stories hook you in to solve the murder yourself. There is a massive jigsaw puzzle that you need to put together in order to get the big picture, sometimes to save the day…

Episode 3: A Deep Dive Into The Anatomy Of The Romance Novel + Review Of People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry!
Ugh, the romance novel. They are sappy, predictable, and unoriginal. Yet somehow, they keep getting written and people keep buying them. Why? Well I think I cracked the code. In today's episode, we explore why this genre is so popular (and how I learned to approach it), what makes or breaks these...
