(And Tairn & Andarna- if you want to get really technical)Emotions are flying high and we want to know all of your thoughts and feelings as we approach the end game!

As you can see, it's become impossible for these episodes to be short because there is SO much going on at this point in the book.

Our microphone cut out approximately 3 seconds into recording and we never noticed because we are certified yappers!)

Here are some of our top tier tropes and books that fit the bill. But we want to know, what are YOUR favorite tropes? Make sure to send us a message or comment with what tropes will make a book an auto-read.

This week we decided to devote an entire episode to one of our must-read, auto-buy authors- Emily Henry!We talk a bit about each book, what worked, what didn't, what we liked, what we loved and where we would rank each of her books.

What classifies a "plane read"? It's a question we went back and forth on and for us, that means something that grabs our attention right away and is easy to get lost in. It can also be something that is easy to pick up and put down and not feel lost when you start reading again. And if we're talking long flights, it's a book you can finish completely before you land!We made a list of our top recommendations for plane reads and we'd love to know what recommendations you might give to us for our plane rides this summer!

Maybe you’ll understand a few of them yourself!What drives you nuts in the book world?

We had every intention of talking about more than one book in this episode, but once we started chatting, it was clear that Queen of Shadows deserves it's own episode.It's one of our top books of the series for so many reasons- do you agree?If you usually catch our episode on Youtube as well, we've got to apologize because the video never actually recorded so just trust us that it was as hilarious as this episode is, but we'll be back in action on video next week!
