- 0:27[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying to get in the season in the spirit.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_01]: We're trying.
- 0:32[SPEAKER_01]: First we're gonna do recent reads, we should make a journal is good, that was good, look at us, we literally didn't even play in that, we didn't, we didn't, we didn't it's not gonna go for that video that we just don't do, look at us being in sync, okay, that was really good, I bet we won't be able to do that again though, okay, it's because the Christmas pajamas honestly,
- 0:51[SPEAKER_01]: It's the little lot of the pajamas because we're getting the spirit well speaking of Christmas spirit I'm reading Christmas with a crank My 20-washed and she has so many good Christmas books like for her books are so all-n-dame And I love them so you have a right Christmas with a crank have you no, I just read Christmas right drip something a road trip for Christmas
- 1:19[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_01]: One of those.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_01]: One of those.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_01]: But this one is set on a Christmas tree farm.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_01]: And the MMC is like this super grown.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_01]: And they were childhood friends and they like just lost their way whenever they were 14 or something and they were reconnected.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_01]: It was like a misconnection when they were
- 1:48[SPEAKER_01]: And they're reconnecting again because she was hired to plan events on the Christmas tree farm and so it's just like a whole bunch of misconnections and then they're like finally getting their eye together.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_01]: So it's really good.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of when Christmas books have actual plot.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and not just hallmark currard, you know, there's like something that is going on and happening and it's not just like here.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_01]: And I love a hallmarky book, but I need to have a little bit of a plot.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_01]: Especially if it's going to be like, maybe really Christmas.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: Courtney Walls does a fantastic job with that.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: I read like a fall book and then I read that Christmas book and I loved it.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.
- 2:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, some of the fall books I'm going to talk about that were on our fall TBR where not it.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, we'll talk about that later.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: I so I'm not a DNFer.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: I feel really guilty.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: She will not.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why I like that.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: What's that trade called like you're like it's my itk to DNF a book and I can't stand it.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: I keep telling you there's to be free to read a book you don't like.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_00]: I finally did.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: I started listening to the Lord of Gold and Glory, which is the second Fay Ayles book by Leset Marshall.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: The first one is Blood and Biting's.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_00]: I loved a quarter blood and bindings.
- 3:09[SPEAKER_00]: This one has just been really slow.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: I got like halfway through.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I can't, it was an 18 hour audiobook, and I just couldn't put any more time into it.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_00]: I might go back into it.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: It was on hoop walls so I can.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_01]: But you don't
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: I, my brain is such a to-do list like machine that I'm like, okay, I feel better and like I'll probably in three months be like, oh my gosh, I never forgot like finished that book and I will think about it for the next three months about not finishing it.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_00]: It is, but I had to let it go because it was just dragging me down.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_01]: It is okay if you didn't have a book.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_01]: I took me a while to get there too because I would not be in a book, but now I'm like quick to DNF, so.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think I didn't want to do enough because I was like in I'd love the series and there's four books in the series and I started thinking like, oh God, what if the rest of it like this and I still didn't go back because I'm like, I like the first one, but here we are so going into our fall listen, I have a confession we listen and we don't judge.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_00]: I read zero of my faulty.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: We listen and we don't don't.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: We were like talking about playing this the other day and I texted her and I said I read absolutely none.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_00]: Like I pulled up my notes from my notebook.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: I listed 10, read zero of them.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
- 4:38[SPEAKER_00]: Did I read 10 since then?
- 4:39[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and more.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is what we call a mood reader.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and it's like I'm a type C kind of person.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I made a list and I had great intentions.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I didn't follow through.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_01]: Most important part is the intentions that you had.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_01]: And they should be honored that they made it on your list, even if you didn't.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: Honorable mention for Heartless Honour that's been on their since June.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: So, right, then you move it to your fall.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was a summer.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: And then it became a faulty bar.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's actually a winter TV bar too.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_01]: Well, listen, I'm going to make you, because it was really good.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_00]: I just know everything I see about it makes it look so good.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_01]: I read one, two, three, four, or a four of mine.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: How many did you have?
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think 10.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think I wrote 9 because I couldn't figure out my 10th one.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_01]: Because unlike you, I did not write these down.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_01]: I can't find my list.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's my type.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_01]: See, I make a list and I can't find it.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: So I have your struggle.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_01]: I had to go back to the podcast and listen to yourself.
- 5:45[SPEAKER_01]: And I had to scroll through the transcripts to try and figure out which ones were mine.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_00]: That's more.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_01]: And I found nine of them.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm gonna call that a win.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess I'll start since.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, anyways, I had fantasma on my list.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_01]: I started it and then I got really bored Not even that I got really bored.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_01]: I just got distracted and saw another book.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to read it Like ooh shiny yeah went to that and then never went back to fantasma and that is my
- 6:14[SPEAKER_01]: Red flag.
- 6:15[SPEAKER_01]: That is my book is red flag.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: Red flag.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I was thinking of earlier.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: Red flag.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_01]: That's my book is red flag is I will start a book and then read a couple like maybe a chapter to where I'm like not fully invested in it yet and then I'll find another book.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll move on to that book because I'm more invested in it in my head, like it's like a new shiny toy Because of how I'm not super invested into the book yet, then I'll just be like, oh, I'll come back to it never come back to it Oops, yeah, I'm currently reading mate, which was on my Got to be R. I'm like on chapter 9.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll be done with that soon.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm counting that Glent no
- 6:57[SPEAKER_01]: caught up.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_01]: I've decided to remove that from my TBR.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_01]: My sister read it and there was some questionable things.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think that books for me.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: Lights out is about foreign to that genre as I can get, I think.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_01]: If it's heaters, any more than light towel, I don't think it's for me.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_01]: If it's for you, I'm so happy for you.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_01]: Like I love that journey for you, but it is not for me.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually terrified of looking like, now that I've like, I'm almost done with light towel.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: And now that we go into bookstores and they have like those whole dark romance options, I'm like actually terrified to read those books.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_01]: Part of me wants to pick one and just read it like an actual just like not a dark rom-com just a dark romance right so I can see what it is yeah and just see if that genre is for me does dark mean I think it's like dark themes okay like in the plot or in the spice in the plot okay
- 8:02[SPEAKER_01]: I think.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I don't know.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_01]: Don't quite me on that.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_01]: Someone who is an expert in dark romance, please let us know.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_01]: What are some common themes?
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: Is it like always about killers and weird fetuses, you know?
- 8:14[SPEAKER_00]: Like.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I think I might would be interested in Rihanna Mafia romance because I feel like those are mostly dark romance.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, all know about like it because I've never read one.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: So I haven't read all know.
- 8:27[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can't do you read it.
- 8:28[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know about like it because I haven't read one, but I'm also kind of scared to read one.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_00]: We need a good mafia wreck.
- 8:36[SPEAKER_00]: It's like surface level.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_01]: Help us please, we need a surface level mafia romance.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's not caught up because I don't want to read that.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_01]: Because the more questionable.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_01]: I know, but I don't want to read that.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: It needs to have things that are not going to give us bad judo if we read them.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_01]: Like we, yeah.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_01]: I need to, I need a fluffy mafia romance, a fluffy, Martha, Martha, dark red.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_00]: Sarah Adams, but a mafia voice.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:17[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
- 9:22[UNKNOWN]: I don't think so.
- 9:22[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_01]: Road them off your romance.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_01]: I would read that for sure.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_00]: Agreed.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good level.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's my level.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_01]: I'm leather and lark I think I put all three of the books on there.
- 9:33[SPEAKER_01]: I made it through too.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_01]: I read is that dark room is?
- 9:37[SPEAKER_00]: No, what is that?
- 9:38[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: What is really?
- 9:40[SPEAKER_01]: Put your black bread.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a romance?
- 9:42[SPEAKER_00]: No, leather and lark.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, or is that like?
- 9:45[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, I read butcher blackbird and leather and lard.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I read them since the summer, but I read both of them.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I don't know what that would be classified as because it's serial killer romances.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe dark romcom again.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe yeah, romcom probably like a dark romcom like lights out.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I love both of them though.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_01]: But trend blackbird and leather and lard work both so good.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_01]: I love luck.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's a love large.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: So if I so which one should I read next?
- 10:17[SPEAKER_01]: Like what's your blood bird is the first one?
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's the same series.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_01]: It's the same series.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's okay.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_01]: But turn black bird leather and mark and then something else.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_01]: And it goes through the three cane brothers.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: I could do that.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_01]: And then the honey crisp orchard in was on mine.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: I did not read that.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to get it on.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_01]: Libby, yeah.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: I think, but by the time it came through, I was overfall.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't read it.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: That's a really short-lived season.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_00]: Especially for reading.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_00]: You're just like, because I want to get into Christmas, what does that already now?
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_01]: And then people watching, I didn't read that one.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_01]: Nor does that.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want it in about a million.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_01]: I've heard mixed things about people watching.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_01]: And so it makes me kind of question whether I want to
- 11:11[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I am less likely to read books that have split reviews than a book that's like either everyone loves it or everyone hates it.
- 11:19[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm poor and cloned to read it if it's all one sided.
- 11:24[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think so too.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_01]: Because if everybody hates it, I'm like, I'm gonna see the reason.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like I'm still willing to read it.
- 11:30[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_01]: But if it's like split, then it's like, this might really not be good.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: Because then I feel like people who are split are, it's because it, it was just in.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_01]: Then I read Fall I Want by Laira Parish.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm so, it's a real freaking upset about this book.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_01]: You don't understand.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: The cover is one of the most gorgeous covers I've ever seen on a book.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: This braid edges stunning.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_01]: Outside of the book, 10 out of freaking 10.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_01]: Inside of the book, 1 out of 10.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_01]: one out of ten.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_01]: I've finished it, but I wish I hadn't.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't do an effort because I was like, no, this has to get better and never did.
- 12:14[SPEAKER_01]: Um, basically, the whole book is ever a span of three weeks and at the end of it, they're married.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_01]: Strangers to married in three weeks.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, that's how I think that's why I don't like
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: to relationship in a span of three weeks, listen, but at least they're what I'm married.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_01]: And she also kind of stalked him to, you know, I mean, on the on the on the finster, I see, I haven't met with my about talking, so I am not opposed to it.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was going to be like, oh, we meet.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: Which they terribly didn't.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: Technically they didn't.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: And then talking occurs, no.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: It happened before they even knew it was happening.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_01]: Listen.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what gets me.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_01]: But she, he knew who she was.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and she was obsessed with him, but didn't know it was him exactly.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_01]: So that feeling that makes up for it and it's, it's approved.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: Anyways, that one was not approved by me because he was a jerk and a billionaire.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: And it was just very unrealistic.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: It was very nice.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_01]: I was so excited because I was like fall billionaire romance.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: That's cool.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: Signed me.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's very rare.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: And she's a, um, barista.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was like, I don't a coffee shop.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: What's well say, I'm very sorry.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_01]: I own a coffee shop, but no, it was not it.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_01]: It was so bad.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll kept waiting on it to get better.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_01]: The idea was there, but if they hadn't went from zero to married in 2.5 seconds, then it would have been fine.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_01]: That journey was not it.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: I don't like insta love.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_00]: I don't either.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_00]: I like it if it's done right.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like if it's done tastefully and you can't tell it's in still love like if it's not just like right love now is my mama has been strobe in still love
- 14:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: Do I like to read about it?
- 14:10[SPEAKER_01]: And then the last book that was on my mom was the enchanted greenhouse.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_01]: And it was good.
- 14:16[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to the first one better.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's Bell Shop.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_01]: Spell Shop was better to me personally.
- 14:22[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought it was fun how you got to see how Caz was made, which is the talking plant.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 14:27[SPEAKER_00]: And everyone loved that.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, everybody loved Caz.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: I just didn't love it as much as
- 14:33[SPEAKER_01]: Special, right, but it was still good.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_01]: So if you want a cozy fantasy, because it's still technically like cozy season not in
- 14:44[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you'll catch me next fall.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, maybe next fall.

- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: I am notorious for not finishing a series.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the, like, fourth way to sing of this is not finished, but like throwing a glass.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, I've only finished probably four fantasy series.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: This is about to be my next one because it is so good.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_01]: I eventually plan on finishing it.
- 19:57[SPEAKER_00]: I even highly recommend it if you're looking to get into fantasy.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's absolutely read and it's like, you don't get lost in the content of it.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_00]: Like, even though I've taken months to go through the whole series, like, it's not hard to go back to.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_00]: No, as soon as I pick it back up, I remember everything.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

- 20:57[SPEAKER_01]: that's the goal.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm giving myself a little bit of a graced time.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, now it's a really quick read once you get into it, it's super quick.

- 21:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we talked about that one.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um it was our physical book club we do like,
- 21:16[SPEAKER_01]: four books on a spreadsheet and then send it out and everybody picks and this one did not get picked, but I still wanted to read it because it sounded really good and it's kind of like the Santa Claus.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's giving Santa Claus.
- 21:27[SPEAKER_01]: It's giving the Santa Claus.
- 21:29[SPEAKER_00]: So the whole backstory of what like how he got to be Santa Claus, like that's what this one is.
- 21:32[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was like the description on the back of the book was like,
- 21:35[SPEAKER_01]: If they found a Santa suit and put it on in, I'm like, oh, Scott Calvin, is that you?
- 21:41[SPEAKER_01]: Scott?
- 21:42[SPEAKER_01]: Scott?
- 21:43[SPEAKER_01]: So, I want to read that because it just sounds like nostalgia.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: No, I agree.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: It does.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: So, I have on here funny story by Ellie Henry.
- 21:52[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to read another Emily Henry book and I think that's going to be the next one.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_01]: Is it because I told you that there was daddy issues in the book?
- 22:00[SPEAKER_01]: Possible.
- 22:03[SPEAKER_00]: That one is like, that was her immediate response.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I want to read this.
- 22:05[SPEAKER_00]: She was like, oh, they have daddy issues.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, it's a good one.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even have daddy issues.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_00]: Fantastic.
- 22:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_01]: I put a brimstone because I put some of my fall TBR.
- 22:15[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, why don't I put it on my fall TBR when it don't even come out and do this in her.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: No, brimstone comes out literally on the 18th of November.
- 22:23[SPEAKER_01]: The like mid-november then.
- 22:25[SPEAKER_00]: What is that?
- 22:25[SPEAKER_01]: That's, that's in my, 18th, that's five days.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a little
- 22:33[SPEAKER_01]: a little wink.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a avid listener, this is going to be our December book club book.
- 22:38[SPEAKER_01]: We had already planned that since we heard it was coming out.
- 22:41[SPEAKER_01]: We were like, yes, automatically, because we did quick silver as our book was a really good book club.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I really am so intrigued by Brimstone to see.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's very history.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it's and I know I'm in the minority when I say that I don't really like King Fisher.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_01]: And I am in the minority with that.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm really hoping that King Fisher redeems himself for me.
- 23:11[SPEAKER_00]: I like him.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: I don't rank him with Zayden.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: Like I feel like people did that, but I like him a lot.
- 23:18[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a King Fisher friend.
- 23:19[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_01]: I just I wasn't impressed with being Fisher and I still like by the end of the book I understood more, but still it wasn't like enough of redemption to make me like pawn all over him like some y'all did.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't get it, but I hope to get it.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_01]: I have open minded about getting it.
- 23:39[SPEAKER_01]: So
- 23:40[SPEAKER_00]: I have on here the Silver Smith by L.J.
- 23:42[SPEAKER_00]: Claren, this is a big fantasy read that's all on TikTok right now.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I think I saved on my want to read.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: It's giving like quick silver vibes.
- 23:52[SPEAKER_00]: But in terms of I think the magic system is what I'm thinking about in the similarities between those two things.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: I have it on Kinnel and the literature right now.
- 24:01[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just a matter of time before I actually read it.
- 24:04[SPEAKER_01]: That's fun.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I saw it and I was looking at it and I was like don't want to add that to my winter TBR because I wanted to add a couple of fantasy books for January Like when some done with Christmas books, right now almost added that one, but I didn't I did add marry little kiss miss by Laura Blakely I think that's the one that just came out.
- 24:24[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly just added it to my TBR based on the cover
- 24:28[SPEAKER_01]: Because I grew up beautiful, but I was looking at the book description just now and it said Wanted a fresh shot at love for the holidays, but fake dating my brother's grumpy best friend Sign me up Fake dating my grumpy brothers or my brother's grumpy best friend.
- 24:46[SPEAKER_01]: I love that
- 24:47[SPEAKER_01]: Um, oh, and she's a professional matchmaker.
- 24:50[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he's a single dad hockey player.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_01]: Lauren, you're giving me all of my favorite tropes.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_01]: Hockey, single dad, fake dating, brother's best friend.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you're always a sucker for some single dad.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_01]: I am a sucker for a single dad trope.
- 25:06[SPEAKER_01]: And a hockey, and a brother's best friend.
- 25:10[SPEAKER_01]: This is my perfect holiday, but thank you.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it leaves up to your expectations.
- 25:15[SPEAKER_01]: God, I hope so too.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_01]: Because I just put a lot of pressure on that book.
- 25:18[SPEAKER_00]: You really did.
- 25:18[SPEAKER_00]: I did.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_00]: You really did.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 25:22[SPEAKER_00]: I am hoping to read the trouble with loving ink.
- 25:26[SPEAKER_00]: I hear you ask for it.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_00]: I have not read one of her.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's up there on the list like high up to do next.
- 25:31[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, I love the trouble with love and ink, but I would rather you listen to the trouble with love and coaches.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_01]: I think you would want like that one better.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's a little bit of crossover from the first book to the second book, but not enough to where it really matters.
- 25:56[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you just meet the couple one time.
- 25:59[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
- 26:00[SPEAKER_01]: And the second book.
- 26:01[SPEAKER_01]: That's in the first book.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_01]: And I really liked the first book.
- 26:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think you should read it, but I think you should read the second book more.
- 26:07[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's where I'm going to do that.
- 26:10[SPEAKER_01]: Because, Zaddy, we're always here for Zaddy.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_01]: We're always here for Zaddy.
- 26:15[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I put my marry mistake by Courtney Walsh because, you know, I love that all of yours are Christmas romance and I'm like, I have five romance and five fantasy.
- 26:24[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I feel like I say this literally every time we make one of these, I am such a mood reader.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_00]: You are.
- 26:31[SPEAKER_01]: I am you are like, I am not going to read anything that is not Christmas themed that's for the next three weeks.
- 26:39[SPEAKER_01]: It's just going to happen until I get burnt out on Christmas books, all I'm reading is Christmas.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_01]: I am only reading me because it is our book club books.
- 26:47[SPEAKER_01]: I'm enjoying it, but I really want to be listening to a Christmas book.
- 26:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 26:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 26:52[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's where I'm at.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_01]: I will for the foreseeable future be reading all Christmas and we'll literally probably binge five of Courtney Walsh's books hers are so easy to read to I'm going to do that I get hooked and I'm just like it's really yeah like I've started Christmas with a crank
- 27:11[SPEAKER_01]: What was it two days ago, and I'm almost done.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_01]: So basically, it is, and if you don't know, Courtney Walsh writes closed or books, like she does not write any open space.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_01]: And the book plots three to a lot of the book.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_01]: And like, by the time they kiss, you were like screaming for the kiss, anyways.
- 27:28[SPEAKER_01]: Basically, it's about a perfectionist in a workaholic who never pauses to come up for air.
- 27:33[SPEAKER_01]: And she lands herself in the ER because her body is screaming for her to slow down.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_01]: and her boss makes her take a four-week pay leave and one of the hockey players plans to make sure she takes care of herself and fall in love with him in the time that she's off.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds band.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: That's it and cast it, yeah.
- 27:53[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm jelly.
- 27:54[SPEAKER_00]: I'm empty, but that'll my winter TBR.
- 27:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're gonna have to um, okay.
- 27:57[SPEAKER_00]: So I also have one here gloves off.

- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: What behind the net?
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: Behind the net is the one that I'm thinking about.
- 28:09[SPEAKER_00]: That was the first one in the series.
- 28:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_00]: And this is the one that's the marriage of convenience.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_01]: This is the marriage of convenience.
- 28:15[SPEAKER_01]: I told her she would love this one because of the banter.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

- 33:11[SPEAKER_00]: It, I literally thought it was the same person.
- 33:14[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like a Christmas light now, and then the second book just came out, and I think it's like he knows when you're awake.
- 33:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
- 33:22[SPEAKER_01]: And so, interested to see about all of that.
- 33:26[SPEAKER_00]: Does anyone read it yet?
- 33:28[SPEAKER_01]: No, I really haven't seen it anywhere.
- 33:30[SPEAKER_00]: So I'll break it.
- 33:31[SPEAKER_01]: So I might move that up on my TBR to draw a little.
- 33:35[SPEAKER_00]: Let you know if it's worth it.
- 33:37[SPEAKER_00]: Recap.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 33:39[SPEAKER_00]: So I have Curse of Shadows in Ice.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: It's by...
- 33:42[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I can say her name, right?
- 33:44[SPEAKER_00]: Or... Katharina.
- 33:47[SPEAKER_00]: Katharina.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_00]: Katharina.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_00]: Mora.
- 33:51[SPEAKER_00]: So this just recently came out.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 33:56[SPEAKER_00]: And I put it on.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_00]: Beautiful.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_00]: And the covers really pretty.
- 33:58[SPEAKER_00]: It came up on kiln limited as like a recommendation.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, this one's she did a, it says it's a retelling of beauty in the beast.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_00]: The last time I read or retelling of like sleeping beauty, bras and roses or a kingdom of rotors or rosers, fantastic.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_00]: This is about a princess who has forbidden magic in a marriage that could save them all.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_00]: So she has to marry the shadow emperor who threatens to overthrow her country unless she marries him.
- 34:34[SPEAKER_00]: When she learns his empires cursed and she's destined to set them free, there's some mistakes in here.
- 34:40[SPEAKER_00]: Basically, they come to an agreement to help him minimize the curse as effects on people, and he'll let her go.
- 34:45[SPEAKER_00]: As she teaches her how to control her forbidden and volatile magic, her feelings for him turn from hatred to passion, and she realizes that she must break the curse or she'll lose him forever.
- 34:57[SPEAKER_00]: Which, did you know?
- 34:59[SPEAKER_00]: That,
- 35:05[SPEAKER_00]: So like the, I like read up on this after the live action one came out because when she broke the spell of the beast it like released the spell on the entire town that this was set in and you know how like the openings on like it talks about the same thing happening every single day or like that's what that's referring to it's not he just wasn't wasn't the only one curse like the whole town was.
- 35:34[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the live action beating the beast was a 10.
- 35:37[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably one of my favorite movies ever.
- 35:39[SPEAKER_01]: Emma as Belle Unmatched.
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, I cried in the first time that I saw like Taylor's always time at the very end.
- 35:49[SPEAKER_01]: It made me cry like a baby I was like oh, Disney and I think the first time I saw the live action beating the beast was we went to Disney
- 35:57[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, or like at the the movie theater there.
- 36:02[SPEAKER_01]: No, like the where they did outdoor one.
- 36:05[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, a Hollywood studio.
- 36:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 36:07[SPEAKER_01]: That was the first time I'd ever seen that one.
- 36:08[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, oh, so good.
- 36:10[SPEAKER_00]: I love that.
- 36:12[SPEAKER_01]: Then I'll put we who will die by our Stacy Stark.
- 36:16[SPEAKER_00]: I want to read that.
- 36:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 36:18[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 36:20[SPEAKER_00]: Because that would be a book club book.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that can be our January book club book.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, I like that idea because that was the first one in the new series that she has Yeah, but I don't know anything about it.
- 36:34[SPEAKER_00]: It's like supposed to be Roman-esque like Gladiator, I think type
- 36:40[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so it says that it is a slow burn romanticity set in Roman inspired world by merciless vampires, filled with breathtaking combat, vengeful gods, and magical creatures.
- 36:54[SPEAKER_01]: Perfect for friends of course abroad, Ben and Rebecca Yara.
- 36:58[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
- 37:00[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I love that.
- 37:03[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm here for that.
- 37:03[SPEAKER_00]: I am too.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's giving blood guard times vampire diaries.
- 37:10[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's blood card.
- 37:12[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 37:12[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe it.
- 37:13[SPEAKER_01]: Ancient Empire, Immortal Politics, Bloodsoaked Vows, Intention, Sharp enough to cut a glass.
- 37:18[SPEAKER_01]: Thank brutal Colosseum bites, Divine Immunipulation, and a heroine whose equal parts grief rage and grit.
- 37:26[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_01]: Sign me up, morally gray love, interest, political, intrigue, and betrayal, I'd kill for you energy.
- 37:38[SPEAKER_01]: I'm down.

- 37:40[SPEAKER_00]: That sounds fantastic.
- 37:41[SPEAKER_01]: That sounds like it's going to be our January.
- 37:42[SPEAKER_00]: Shout out to those authors that put tropes in their descriptions.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_00]: Because honestly, that's what I need.
- 37:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when I'm a description can be very misleading.
- 37:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for real.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_01]: I need tropes.
- 37:52[SPEAKER_01]: Any tropes.
- 37:53[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so my last one, then I have one here because I had on in your dreams, I also have a tongue so sweet and deadly by Sophia Saint Germain.
- 38:01[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen this.

- 38:08[SPEAKER_00]: Um, this person's.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_00]: review.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_00]: I think is a good way to like explain the long description.
- 38:13[SPEAKER_00]: It says you get all the classic fantasy romance vibes, but with a twist, throw in a political election trial, a blood oath, really fun plot twist, and we had a really unexpected story time.
- 38:24[SPEAKER_00]: The name of the book was incredible and she immediately benched the series.
- 38:28[SPEAKER_00]: So it has to do with like human elections in the land of the
- 38:40[SPEAKER_00]: Usually it means for a pretty legit story on like I feel like if you're not sure who it is halfway through the book then like there's a good change that's a good story where with shield of sparrows right we like we didn't know we didn't know and then okay have a couple of books behind you that I've thought like two years ago
- 38:59[SPEAKER_01]: I have in a holidays by Christina Lauren.
- 39:03[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I have that jingle bell book.
- 39:05[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, a jingle bell mingle, and it's by two people.

- 39:13[SPEAKER_00]: One of them.
- 39:13[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know.
- 39:15[SPEAKER_01]: And then Christmas all around by Martha Waters.
- 39:19[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_01]: I have random Christmas books that I buy because they look pretty, and then never end up reading them.
- 39:25[SPEAKER_00]: That's the life of the movie and we listen and we don't judge.
- 39:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 39:30[SPEAKER_00]: That's the life of a mid-reader babe.
- 39:33[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see how many of these we get through.
- 39:35[SPEAKER_00]: Big dreams, big dreams, um, dreams.
- 39:40[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna hold myself to this list, I think.
- 39:46[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, maybe maybe set a goal to hold yourself to like six out of ten.
- 39:51[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, four out of ten.
- 39:53[SPEAKER_01]: That works too.
- 39:55[SPEAKER_00]: Because then I'm like, oh, wait, I have that jingle bell mingle book.
