  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: That is only like now I've read another one by Debny Perry.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't remember the name of it.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: What book have you read?
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm reading the life we bury.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to get it.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not a bug I heard.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Alan Eskins.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never heard of this either.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just saw it on TikTok and I was like, that's good.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's about, it's a thriller.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's about this guy who's in grad school.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he has to do a project where he has to interview someone that's like interesting.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't have to be like someone, you know, that like is a role model.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: So he chooses this fan that's in a nursing home.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: who is a murder and it's about him like telling his story and the whole time you have no idea if this man gets really innocent or not because he didn't really fight it.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: He just kind of went to jail like he was like let's try all over with.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: So he never like he's always said he's innocent but he never like really tried to
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: fight it.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you're like, it's very interesting.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not, I only have why they're it.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if he's in this very, it's, I like it because it's like fast paced and it's like, it's interesting all the way through.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's not like it's happening real time and telling the story.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's both.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the guy that's interviewing him, it's about his life.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then he goes to interview the older man and he interviews some of his friends.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like the Emily's.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's very interesting.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you very much.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: That sounds good.

  [SPEAKER_02]: It actually had to return it to Libby today.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: So now I have to wait for 16 more weeks to show.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's annoying.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would just buy that thing.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because now I'm like well I have to know what happens.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like no seriously.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I literally forty eight percent.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to get you hooked.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I think what that happens.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't have to be the full-forking.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't have to be the full-forking.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't have to be the full-forking.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't have to be the full-fork
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really wanted to like that book and I thought it was going to be fantastic and I didn't even read it because you told me not to read it.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not only a two-star read of the year.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Never even heard of that.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a whole series like I keep seeing the other books that are in the series in Target.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like there's like four of them but this girl is in an architectural college.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's in like this fantasy world and it's you can tell it's very wide because it's very simply written but
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's trying like they go to it's kind of dark.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure out what I could do.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it didn't make any sense.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I felt really bad because whenever you posted your Monthly wrap up and was like except for a studying and dying, maybe not read that.
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Someone commented on there and was like
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I actually really loved that book and I was like, it, well, I feel like you always have that, you know, I wish I could have gotten into it like the idea of it sounded really good and then I started reading it.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to tell her she didn't have to finish it and she was like, no, I really do have to finish it.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you really don't though.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's my new year's resolution.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Be okay with DNA books that are not serving me.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 6:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do that.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: My base let down not respectfully because I'm still pissed is fearless by Lauren Roberts.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, did you like it?
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I liked it up until the end.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, she did care.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought it was interesting, but yeah, I can't like, that was just the biggest let down.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it really ruined the whole series for me.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not gonna lie.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It really ruined the whole series for me.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I even bought like special editions of it and everything before I read it.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was a mistake, first mistake.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: But, and we went to that signing and I bought a whole new signed copy of all the books.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm just like, I hate this series.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am not recommending it to anybody because I hate how I ended.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love the series still because I loved the first and second book.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Powerless was so good.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just hate like I did.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hope that she did that.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to know if that was like her intentions from the very beginning.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: What is from the very beginning?
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like when she's first started plotting it out, like the whole series, what's the last of a fearful fear of what I never read?
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I heard it could be a noveler, I heard it could be an email, like yeah.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was dumb.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't read it.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was telling us about it.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was reading it.
• 7:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was updates.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we were just like, hmm, no, I was saying, yeah.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: She really did me dirty with that.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you're with fearless, and I'm still soft about it.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, to the point,
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know why I'm so mad about it, but I am.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't even know if I want to read anything else from her.
• 8:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So she's going to have something soon.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's riding this high, a fearless.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, my biggest letdown was I put two, but I'm one of them is bigger, I guess.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: But
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Magnolia Parks, a release.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just a Hastings.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's good.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never heard anything bad about that book.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never heard it before.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it was just like, talk sick.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, is it all like it?
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was she on a trailer, the very book.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't I would literally read up until like I had like two chapters left and I was like I can't even finish this and then I looked up the ending and I looked up the whole next book because I was like maybe they'll Yeah, right now now the whole Uh, that they're still pretty sad and they're just mean to me to like I just like I'm like I got no
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: some people like that no I can't stand a bully romance no I can't stand a bully romance and I'm just like it just seems childish yeah like that is how it's a teenager I would have liked it but like as an adult you're just like oh yeah yeah are they adults in the book
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: now they're college age.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: That may have that book that series has been on my TBR forever.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'll ball it one of them.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll I think Daisy hates, which is like the second book.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I read that book is better.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I I had it on my list for so long and I was so excited to read it.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then I read almost all of it.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like waiting for this big like romance to happen and never does like they're still
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then they get better, and then they break up, and then they get, I'm just like, this is too much.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I need to hear from y'all.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is it worth finishing the series?
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because I did not read the second books, but I looked up what happened.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Kaylee.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, series.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, surely, like,
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: They all, it all works out in the, and maybe that's what I'm doing together.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember, but like getting there is just like, I was exhausted.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Breathing.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, this is insane.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's so.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, I don't know, but like everybody else, I've heard, like, love it.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, maybe it's just me.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, best debut.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't sure if this meant for the author or for the book, you know, like author, like their first novel ever.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I did a little bit different.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I did Shilda Sparrow's by Deveny Perry because it was her debut romance scene.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So she had written books before, but they were all romance.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it was her debut romance scene and Shilda Sparrow's
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was supposed to have you read a little bit.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: You haven't read it.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's so good.
• 10:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it has been on my list for a while.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard the audio was fantastic.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: You need to listen to it.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's on.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard the audio is fantastic.
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is so good.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: The second one comes out in May.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: There's a segment where they're going to be eating now.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: There isn't three or four.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: She hasn't said.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: How does she said?
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have no idea, honestly.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's monsters in it.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's different than like a normal fantasy.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like there's like animal creatures that are significant.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love Nardia.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really good.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, good.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she killed that.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, yeah.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: What'd you do?
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did drawn together by Julia Osmett.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was really good.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because isn't that like her first novel?
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: OK.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a thought about putting that one too.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was just a romance.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like a fall romance book.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it was her first novel that she published.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: That one was really cool.
• 11:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mine.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think this is her debut novel, Caravall.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm a Stephanie Garber.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that that big series?
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, you read that.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I did.
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I read the first one.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's a huge series.
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was good, but I didn't love it as much stuff I would.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: that it was it was very you know what it would be amazing for like a high school English class because it's so you know yeah there's nothing like really inappropriate like I just the whole time I was reading it I was like I would have loved to read this in high school yeah and the writing is so well done like you can I mean I don't teach it like three books and then I think there's a series I've heard it is really good but it's kind of like a gateway to the next series or the next.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so, but I was like, this would be so good for like an English teacher to teach in class if they were allowed to.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's nothing bad in it.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, they don't have cuss words on it.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's okay.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Very appropriate for teenagers.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I was like, they could like use this like the imagery.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my gosh.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: She was so good.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: But as an adult, I was like, I need a little bit more.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I was at Barnes and Noble the other day, and I saw that one in the YA, and I didn't realize it was YA.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, when I had heard about it, it's very much like there's there is romance in it, but not really like it.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little something.
• 13:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's something.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's very like Alice in Wonderland.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's good.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was a good story.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was very well written, like, very creative.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying I can read about because long as it's well written.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 13:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think we had the same for the next funnel.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 13:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did finding 13.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: I did releasing 10.
• 13:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Which is the same series.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 13:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That morning wash. No.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Chloe.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Chloe.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Chloe.
• 13:43
  [UNKNOWN]: Chloe.
• 13:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I see many people in the other world at the same name.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just were very similar.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I cannot wait till that next book comes out.
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's I think she said there's going to be two coming out this year And the same series.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I like who is it?
• 13:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Gibbsy's second book and Huey's second book
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is that going to be it like each couple has two books right now they'll they'll do Patrick's two and then they're doing a herd they're doing a Dell and Johnny's parents like back in the like oh like a pretty cool story there is zero part of me
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: That wants to continue the series and you're you're the wild one that has like tandem read the whole series Right, I've read the series.
• 14:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think three times this my favorite romance here just this year.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah I started reading him in January and you've got it three times this year.
• 14:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's how obsessed and unhinged my Brain is about this series like it's back.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: What's up?
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I want to
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I want to like it a lot.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just can't.
• 14:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's too much for me.
• 14:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like when I read, I read to a scape trauma not like gain it.
• 14:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, that's very understandable because there is trauma in it.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but there's so much and you're going to laugh in a little while, but I'll explain.
• 15:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it might be the next one.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, there's so much, oh, good.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's not just like heartache the whole time, like, flick up the trigger warning.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just have the trigger warnings and you know, yeah, no.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say they're like, I loved those, those two books that I read.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I cried more than I like to cry in books, but they were like, you haven't just stressed out, which is like stressed.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know.
• 15:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I immediately finished the first book and went into the second book.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Are you okay?
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't know.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: But like, yeah, you're going to be stressed out, but like, and it all ends good, you know, that's true.
• 15:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's never like, I mean, I did Google the ending to buying the 15th, the second one, or keeping 13th, whatever it is.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I was fine, because I had to know what happened.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say the only thing I don't like is that you have to
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I love that because I can't get enough in one book.
• 15:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, give me another book.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, for example, Gipsy and Huey each.
• 16:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm only one book out and I'm like, there should be no one should do that.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know why?
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Because Gipsy and Claire's story was came out first and then Huey and Lizzie's and you have to tell the rest of Huey and Lizzie's story before you tell the rest of.
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's almost, it's chronological.
• 16:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So she really says I'm chronologically, not like by personal.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, not necessarily, because Joey and EFA's story that like technically the next in the series, I mean, I think 13 goes back.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Goes back in time, but okay.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Johnny and Shannon.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: because it's when they're like, but does it catch you up to modern time of the end?
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, okay.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: And she says that the next books after the ones that are already like being written right now are when they're like in college.
• 16:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like their future or whatever.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Which they're all about to go to college anyway because they're in seniors in high school.
• 16:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, my funniest book of the year.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did your truly patty him in us.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I laughed so much because that the guy in there had anxiety and just his inner monologue with himself and the things that he trusts about were so funny and just like
• 17:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're truly, I didn't make that one this year, but that's so much.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's good.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like is that a romance, but they they're not like hallmark her event.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's like contemporary.
• 17:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hallmark romance.
• 17:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: And she always like inner.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm eating them out.
• 17:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, literally.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't like cheesy.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're truly like the guy has anxiety and like so usually someone has something that's like It makes them like a small relatable It sounds like traumatic from them and so it's really good Yeah, I love that one.
• 17:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was the first one I had read of hers to read that this year though I read that like a year and a half ago.
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really yeah, I've not read another abbey him in a sense.
• 18:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: So My funniest book was light out
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's scary.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not scary.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's scary.
• 18:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's scary.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's scary.
• 18:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 18:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like the skull on it, though.
• 18:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 18:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's my other side of the thing.
• 18:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's got a little skull.
• 18:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Blue skull on its face.
• 18:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a dark rom-com.
• 18:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a dark rom-com.
• 18:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
• 18:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Basically.
• 18:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: This girl's a stalker who is a nice stalker and just his inner monologue and like the things he says his dad was a serial killer.
• 18:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like you it's almost like you but she ends up well yeah it is just like you because she ends up literally just as crazy as he is and it's right and it's hilarious because I listened to the audio and just did you listen to that?
• 18:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like the things he was saying just had me.
• 18:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: hackling.
• 18:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like had a TikTok account where he would post like thirst traps, but like his face was always covered.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So no one knew she was obsessed with him, like his personal not on TikTok, and she didn't know that it was him.
• 19:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, but then he became obsessed with her and started stalking her, but like in a nice way.
• 19:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm sitting here like, is she okay?
• 19:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, neither one of them, they both have red flags.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I had to read it because it was in my TBR pool.
• 19:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was interesting.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever brand of crazy bad is is my brand of crazy.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like yours is binding 13.
• 19:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever that is is mine.
• 19:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of, okay, before I say this, I only I don't really ever read romance or romantic comedies.
• 19:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: I read thrillers to fantasy, so this one was hard for me to pick the funniest book.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have books.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: I read her funny.
• 19:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I had to pick boys at home in series only because of the banter.
• 19:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'll paint her like literally has me cackling.
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be in the bed reading and I'll just start like dying laughing at something that's like Gibbsy said and Evan will be like, go to those Irish guys say now.
• 20:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I have to like try to tell him what they said, but I had that to do it in Irish.
• 20:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Right.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is not funny.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Americans say no.
• 20:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's only funny when they cry.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: So that was the funniest, but I didn't have very much to choose from for me.
• 20:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to like pick a funny book though because like there's funny moments and I don't like rom-coms Like I think I'm too cheesy, so I don't really need a dark rom-com.
• 20:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: You need to read lights out.
• 20:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I need to read that Don't read but you're a boybird Okay, that's what I like to Read it I'm about three up in the first five minutes.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, it was not that bad.
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, what about do you like it?
• 20:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I Do like that you'd like it.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're fine.

  [SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
• 20:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Best audio.

  [SPEAKER_01]: What did you do?
• 20:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did the throw glass series.
• 20:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I listened to the whole series on audiobook and hands down whatever that girl's name is.
• 20:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she's so good.
• 20:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: She is the best.
• 21:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will listen to anything she and like she read 87 different parts because there's so many different The OVs and they were so different from each other like yeah, you forget that there's one version reading Correct so good favorite audio is a good one if I would have read that this year I would have picked that I did the house main.
• 21:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was a good on you really good and Nina's voice
• 21:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: have you ever seen Revenge?

• 21:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: The black headed lady.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 21:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's who her voice sounds like, which is like an evil woman.
• 21:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: So the whole time I'm like, this is so good.
• 21:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is like...
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was so really doing things they would have like New York accents.
• 21:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm glad they didn't know that draws me crazy.
• 21:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know who I thought that Nina was?
• 21:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that she was the girl, the bad girl from the Beethoven movies.
• 21:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: The doll?
• 21:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I need to look her up because that's it.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why?
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Literally, I'll have to show you all a video of her because I heard her voice and I was like,
• 22:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this is the same girl like that's how I don't I can't even picture here talking about Oh, I'll show you because I immediately was like Is it the same person who Nara's the house made as like the house made secret or the second one?
• 22:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know I haven't listened because I listen to that one.
• 22:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to spell that type.
• 22:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I bet it is But I don't know I've listened to a lot of free to books in the past few weeks because I don't know why ever since Halloween I've been on a thriller kick
• 22:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this girl is the same.
• 22:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's usually the same girl that is that's the girl's voice The fourth one or the third one.
• 22:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's you know on the boy gets his Not with the blonde hit it boy the other one.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's who she's from that's what she's from She's scary
• 23:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that not her voice?
• 23:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I literally mean it.
• 23:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like, oh, that's crazy.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's her just second one sounded like too.
• 23:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's probably the same person.
• 23:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the second book is Millie.
• 23:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is it just Millie?
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
• 23:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: I need to listen to the second one.
• 23:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because she basically spoiler becomes a hitman for hire.
• 23:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 23:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: But then when she's in the second book, she's not anywhere.
• 23:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so it's like this.
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's after how the first one ends.

  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you would probably like those.
• 23:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're in Kentucky.
• 23:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're like country boys.
• 23:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cowboys.
• 23:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they're like romantic suspense books.
• 23:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they have thriller plots to them.
• 23:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like enough romance to keep me interested, but like thriller.
• 23:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is the first one.
• 24:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look at that man.
• 24:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really good and they sound like they're from Kentucky.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like they have that southern draw.
• 24:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're great Probably like Catherine cows too.
• 24:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, cuz she's thriller romance
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: but those audios and like the narrator's top to you.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so worse than the boyfriend.
• 24:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, this was hard.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: I chose a Mark from cruel winter with you.
• 24:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was creepy.
• 24:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was creepy.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was a short audio about that.
• 24:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it.
• 24:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was literally two and a half hours.
• 24:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he was just weird.
• 24:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was just weird.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like just creepy.
• 24:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like.
• 24:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: they had known each other their whole lives, right?
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was just really weird how you could make somebody that unlikable in 50 pages.
• 24:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 24:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I didn't like him, but like out of all my books.
• 24:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's not like him.

  [SPEAKER_01]: No, he was the MMC.
• 24:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was the MC.
• 25:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, I just didn't vibe with them.
• 25:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, all the other guys, I was like, looking through my books and I was like, I really liked all these people except him.
• 25:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was just a little too much.
• 25:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: My worst bookboyfriend was Blake from on wings of blood.
• 25:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, why forgot about him?
• 25:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprised you didn't put him in him.
• 25:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was awful.
• 25:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand why people like him.
• 25:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't understand the hype behind on wings of blood.
• 25:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then the second one just came out, right?
• 25:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: The blonde that burns or whatever?
• 25:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: No.
• 25:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can't pay me or you don't.
• 25:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like
• 25:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think cheating is cute, especially when you do it literally like a thousand times.
• 25:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like what's the point?
• 25:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't understand.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't get why people have that, like I'm just like,
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: The first like five chapters, it starts off when he has cheated on her and they're broken up.
• 26:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: And the whole time he's trying to win her back, but continues to cheat on her.
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: And she can, like, she does it back.
• 26:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: They do it to each other.
• 26:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, why?
• 26:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're basically an open relationship.
• 26:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but then they get, like, it's very much like chuck and Blair, but like chuck and Blair don't actually cheat on it.
• 26:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think, but like, I can't even think of a time that they do.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's like that, like, it's their space.
• 26:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: They love each other, but they act like they hate each other.
• 26:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they, like, all they do is hurt each other the whole time.
• 26:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just, I don't get it.
• 26:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
• 26:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
• 26:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it doesn't.
• 26:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just can't plot of the book that I don't understand the purpose of it.
• 26:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 26:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: No.
• 26:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like,
• 26:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: You go through this whole relationship with this person cheating and cheating with the best friend like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
• 27:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's her best for it.
• 27:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of the boiler.
• 27:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: We found that out in the second book.
• 27:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: But like, that's another thing.
• 27:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: You have the balls to cheat on me, but you won't tell me who it was with.
• 27:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, put a name out there.
• 27:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: No.
• 27:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, worst bookboyfriend.

• 28:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think he is a playboy until he meets her, and he is, no.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Fun fact, when we were at the list on 40, thing, the first two books in the series, she sold the, yeah, the wind, the, what is it, my high and the right move?
• 28:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she didn't get to pick who narrated it because she sold the rights to it.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I like their voice.
• 29:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 29:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: But caught up, play along and rewind it back.

  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just said, I'm getting on reading it on my kiddo.
• 29:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I write my own home, I can do it, but I had someone else say, like, I hated the audio because it was George too, she just sold the right to him because it was early in her career, and, but now that she like has like a, so basically she was like the first two audios are not that great because she didn't read.
• 29:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely do that, but honestly, I loved the second one, but the third fourth and fifth one, other best ones.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't listen to it.
• 35:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm scarred from finding 13 though.

  [SPEAKER_01]: It's nothing like finding 13.
• 35:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why people says that.
• 35:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I had a good cry.
• 35:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like something crazy happens at the end, but it's not like I'm talking to him.
• 35:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's not trauma.
• 35:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's the part that made me cry though.
• 35:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, because it was like a sweet girl.
• 35:46

  [SPEAKER_02]: I listened to it.
• 36:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they are teenagers because they're like freshman college.
• 36:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: But like she sounds so much like a
• 36:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I had to get it like that for me to like it because her voice it first bothered me, but I liked the story so much that I was focusing to it.
• 36:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I would definitely read it.
• 36:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, let's do it.
• 36:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I picked play along while it's time for me because that's how they as work and I'm obsessed with how they are and kind, which are brothers.

• 37:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: it was suggested to me.
• 37:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we bought it for you for your birthday.
• 37:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: The cover of it.
• 37:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 37:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like obsessed with the cover of it.
• 37:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Read the back and in my head, the back of it.
• 37:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like a bachelor style where she was going in and these four brothers had to choose one person, right?
• 37:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So then she had to date each one of them in my head.
• 37:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: She was picking one.
• 37:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, that is not what happened.
• 37:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were she was sharing them.
• 37:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were all together all five of them together.
• 37:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like get off of one.
• 37:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: They placed her on the other.
• 37:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like that was a lot.
• 37:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But and I never want to go back.
• 37:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like now.
• 37:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now when it says, watch who's I'm like, I'm scarred.
• 37:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I still my eyeballs hurt from reading that still.
• 38:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know what.
• 38:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking, but I was wrong.
• 38:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I put iron flame.
• 38:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't realize this until I went there my list yesterday.
• 38:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have really didn't read very much.
• 38:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I guess because I don't read a lot of romance.
• 38:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: True.
• 38:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're still very true and like boys of Talman isn't anything crazy.
• 38:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like a few chapters probably the same as fourth one.
• 38:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like it has a few chapters, but it's not like throughout the whole book.
• 38:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 38:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I didn't plan with the one I was like, I think that's that's really funny.
• 38:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I read this year.
• 38:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Other than I read the first chapter of that.
• 38:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: book.
• 38:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, guilt.
• 38:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's probably the spiciest book ever.
• 38:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, finish it.
• 38:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's actually really funny.
• 38:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really spicy.
• 38:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, Megan Quinn.
• 38:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you'd like her books like there's plot.
• 38:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: You've said this before like there's plot for like 80% of the book and then the last 20% is all smart and you're like,
• 39:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: What where did the block go?
• 39:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so it's just a lot all like that balance.
• 39:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but I really love her books first 80% I just wish that She didn't lose all that.
• 39:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, biggest surprise
• 39:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did this in like book I started reading that I had no intentions of reading, but like became obsessed with it.
• 39:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 39:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I did too.
• 39:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I had the ever king because I guess it way only read that because of a book club, but I ended up being obsessed with that book.
• 39:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then kingdom of priors and roses.
• 39:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I found that on Kindle and Limited.
• 39:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it was like a sleeping
• 39:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: really get to me the MMC yet.
• 39:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the second one comes out this year, but I read that book probably in like three days.
• 39:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was so good.
• 39:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it was different, like I haven't seen people talk about it.
• 39:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I really loved that one.
• 39:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mine was, I was surprised at how much I hated, say, you remember me, but Abby him and us.
• 40:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's how I did it.
• 40:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because I typically love everything she writes.
• 40:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, devour everything she writes.
• 40:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hated that book.
• 40:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 40:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just did not hate for me.
• 40:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: a sign to read her.
• 40:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've never read anything there.
• 40:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Red and you're truly first.
• 40:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really good.
• 40:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the only one I've ever read other than like a short story she did.
• 40:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: But that one's I've had out on a list for years.
• 40:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: People say that's one of the best ones.
• 40:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is fun.
• 40:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have to read them.
• 40:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I had to.
• 40:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: My biggest surprise in a good way was the Sunping.
• 40:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's that called?
• 40:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a part of the sun around us.
• 40:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, that I did not expect it like that.
• 40:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I did not expect to love the rest of the books.
• 40:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like I was kind of on just reading that one because it was a book club book.
• 40:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I loved.
• 40:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I liked this the first one, but I loved the rest of them.
• 40:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was very surprised by that.
• 40:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're really good.
• 40:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like trials, but I don't want the whole story to be about my stuff, so yeah, and then my other one was the care of all again because I thought I was going to like be obsessed with that and it wasn't, but also I didn't know it was young adult yeah I thought it was like a romance because everything I've ever seen on TikTok.
• 41:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: It puts it in the category of like like fantasy fantasy yeah, so I thought it was like a romance which there is romance in it, but like It's not yeah, my yeah, the plot is not romance.
• 41:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I thought I was going to love that way more than I did it was still really good, but
• 41:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: and see like when I think romance like I don't just think like those scenes I'm think I'm talking like the development of the relationship between the two characters like that's what I like and they do it's just not to scale yeah let's write it and enjoy it as much as I thought I would but it would be really good for like teenagers so I guess that's why it's young adult
• 41:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
• 41:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I did not know it was young adult.
• 41:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've read it didn't either until it's all in Barnes and Noble the other day So but after I found that I was like, okay, that makes sense.
• 42:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I didn't because I don't I'm not a big fan of young adult.
• 42:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah That's for anyway Okay, so the best plot twist.
• 42:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do we have the same one metal singer?
• 42:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, pants down metal sling her Right that'll sling her again.
• 42:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, I know
• 42:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I knew going in that there was a plot twist looked for it still couldn't find it still couldn't find it I need to read that then it's okay Right over my head and now I'm like I want to read it again talking about it now that I know the plot twist and see like one of them is It might be one of those things where it was hidden like I legit think it was just hidden.
• 42:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was It was was mine was the guest by B.A.
• 42:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Paris
• 42:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's not my favorite thriller offer author and I did not see the ending of that coming like the whole story was good and then you get to the epilogue and in the epilogue you're like what like you had no idea what you thought you read is completely opposite of what you actually read and you don't find it out into the epilogue.
• 43:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: But it's so that blog is like, um, pretty.
• 43:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I need to read that then.
• 43:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
• 43:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you've got to be good on my love her books.
• 43:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: But that one, the whole time I was reading it, I was like, this is good, but it's not good as good as her typical books.
• 43:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then I had to upload and I remember I was listening to it.
• 43:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was dropping down the road and I went.
• 43:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I just froze like that for like five elements.
• 43:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, that wasn't me reading the twist of notes.
• 43:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, excuse me, what did this just say?
• 43:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I went back and I was like, that did not just say that.
• 43:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and some people may have be able to guess it.
• 43:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I had, I had an echo.
• 43:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh my gosh, um, you need to come to our next like in person book club because we're doing bring me back.
• 43:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I love that book.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Behind closed door.
• 44:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Behind closed door.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
• 44:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it's good.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Cause I finally put a Paris in her jar because she doesn't really read thriller.
• 44:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna need it.
• 44:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's a good intro to it.
• 44:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot I had to read it for the whole.
• 44:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's actually really fine.
• 44:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
• 44:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we can skip the best judge me.
• 44:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
• 44:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yeah, cause I didn't have one for that.
• 44:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was midnight son.
• 44:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about that book.
• 44:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
• 44:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're not wrong though, what am I doing?
• 44:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so for my thriller, I did house made.
• 44:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did house made too, because that's the only thriller book I've read this year.
• 44:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did have a few, but they weren't as good as house made.
• 44:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like house made, I remember driving.
• 44:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And when it went to part two, I was like,
• 45:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: What yeah.
• 45:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 45:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I did.
• 45:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 45:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't expect that to happen.
• 45:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I did either.
• 45:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I put the teacher best free to make that and I don't I've read.
• 45:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've now read a lot of free to make that in books and then most of them are just like, okay, but the teacher.
• 45:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm like again, the epilogue of that.
• 45:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: mind blown and then never lie about freedom like that.
• 45:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: And those two are in my opinion, they're better than the housemaid.
• 45:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're her top best top two earlier.
• 45:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: I, okay.
• 45:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, wait, what just happened?
• 45:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 45:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I was like, what's going to happen?
• 45:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: The housemaid I didn't, I couldn't, I didn't guess that.
• 45:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: But like these two, I was like shook when I read the plot.
• 45:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'm going to do some of those.
• 45:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: The only threads are rather small.
• 45:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's not easy.
• 45:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're fast.
• 45:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 45:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like it took, you'll probably take you like three days.
• 45:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it was really fast.
• 45:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's nice.
• 45:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think about for you.
• 45:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: The picture is actually one of her shortest books, but it was like, you did not, you're not going to know.
• 46:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: What happens at the end?
• 46:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, there's no way you will guess it.
• 46:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: OK. That's exciting.
• 46:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 46:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Our favorite book, Club Book, we did this year.
• 46:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did the night in the moth.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I loved that book.
• 46:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I loved that night in the moth.
• 46:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I did show the surprise for something else.
• 46:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to give the friends love, because I loved that one too.
• 46:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Anything, right?
• 46:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I did the artifacts of a run-in, it was just not exciting to love that.
• 46:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's been a minute since I've liked a series that much and like been willing to read through this series so they're like been thrown across, so you're a favorite series.
• 46:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: What would that be?
• 46:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: The artifacts of a run-in.
• 46:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I felt very accomplished when I finished the one of glass.
• 46:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 46:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
• 46:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I felt very, I did like the audiobook hours.

  [SPEAKER_01]: This one was kind of hard for me.
• 50:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I put, I mean, I read Throne of Glass.
• 50:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that was easy for you.
• 50:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: When?
• 50:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Part of her got on my nerves, but when you think about the intricacies of what was all happening during Empire Storms, and then how all of that connected back to Assassin's Blade, yes, I know the surgery mass doing this, but as FMC.
• 51:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, mine wasn't even better than that.
• 51:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: From Sergei Mas, it was Bryce though.
• 51:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: From crescent city, loved Bryce.
• 51:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love Bryce in the first book.
• 51:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: I got it.
• 51:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then she got really whiny and... Well, I've only read the first book.
• 51:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.
• 51:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is it.
• 51:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well...
• 51:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I do love her.
• 51:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love her at the first book, especially.
• 51:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: She just got to wear you know how fair I always want.
• 51:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, she got like that.
• 51:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, Bryce, come on.
• 51:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so not not not too bad, but I was at the end of the third book by the end of the third book.
• 51:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: I was like,
• 51:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I quit one and about every night.
• 51:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, no.
• 51:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mine was paid in.
• 52:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm hearted.
• 52:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Love her.
• 52:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love her.
• 52:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love her.
• 52:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like she had everything against her.
• 52:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 52:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: She still killed it.
• 52:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: And she never made excuses.
• 52:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like she always was like, I'm just going to kick some butt.
• 52:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: No matter what.
• 52:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like that too.
• 52:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so what I would reread and we'll probably reread is night them off.
• 52:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I love that book so much so much so much it was so you have to read the shepherd king series
• 52:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: We haven't read it yet.
• 52:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, not window or you have that front.
• 52:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: No, that was different.
• 52:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel Gillig.
• 52:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I haven't read it.
• 52:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you would love it.
• 52:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's on my list.
• 52:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: So my list.
• 52:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: My new sketch phrase.
• 52:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's on my list.
• 52:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, you're just going to have to go back and go down the list on the podcast.
• 52:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just press play, which, well, on this all of it's already on my list.
• 52:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's true.
• 52:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: The audiobook is fantastic.
• 52:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it hasn't to the audio.
• 52:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's good.
• 52:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so at the beginning of each chapter,
• 52:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: because the magic system is very different.
• 52:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a card system and like each card has different powers and like there's pros and cons.
• 53:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: And like if you use the card too long like bad things actually happen and people use them as powers like within this realm, but there's the nightmare card.
• 53:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you'll see more about him but like at the beginning of each chapter there's like a little poem that's being read.
• 53:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so at first that confused me because it's being read right at the beginning of each chapter.
• 53:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: So once I had distinguished between that and like when it started
• 53:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: know.
• 53:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: That sounds good.
• 53:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have every intention of rereading the Wendy City series this year.
• 53:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have every intention of reading it.
• 53:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 53:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, like, you know, I reread practice makes perfect once a year.
• 53:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I can see Wendy City series being that for me.
• 53:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like rereading that once a year.
• 53:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm,
• 53:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I bought my eyes out at the last book.
• 53:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: The end of the last book.
• 53:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: The sad or you just, no, it was just over and like, how she ended it.
• 53:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was really good.
• 53:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was like, It was like, Yeah, it is.
• 53:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's going to spend all serious.
• 53:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: It comes out this year.
• 53:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's, Okay, so there's one book coming out that has to do with, I don't know, I'm caught up and play along with the baseball.
• 54:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then that comes out and like March I think and then at the end of the series you meet this girl and the next series is about her and her brothers.
• 54:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 54:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I get another one which is fine, but like Wendy's city series is it's up there.
• 54:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta read that.
• 54:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, a book I've been dreaded was the Wolf King though Wolf King for me.
• 54:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mine was the central.
• 54:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, you all you did read that like really fast because I was obsessed with it.
• 54:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was there in the summer too, so I had a ton of time Now I literally read the wolf king on the drive home from the beach on Tuesday So yeah, binge that junk did you say the book you read reread?
• 54:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, um, fourth wing and the boys at home and two books I've already read three or four tops.
• 54:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll read this year this year since I reread fourth wing at the beginning of the year.
• 55:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I've seen only book I reread this year.
• 55:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I read only book I read I reread powerless and reckless right before I feel as you know I did a I mean I reread practice thanks perfect again.
• 55:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I did reread say you swear because it was our book club, but Okay, we need to get in and I love the stream, but I listened to it this time and I wish I had it just read it again because I did not like that audio But comfort read of the year.
• 55:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man was a great big beautiful life.
• 55:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just had all the feels reading that book Practice makes perfect Be a couple I'm going to come for a retrial like I
• 55:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would not like comfort and boys at the same sentence.
• 55:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's more so the friend group, like, I don't like it because of the trauma.
• 55:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I just kind of look past the trauma.
• 55:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like it because it's like found family and it just makes me feel good.
• 55:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's fair.
• 55:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like their relationships and their friendships and their banter and I just love it.
• 56:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wish I could hang out with them.
• 56:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: So sad.
• 56:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, my best fake dating book was here for the cake by Jennifer Millicate.
• 56:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: That one was really good.
• 56:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I did not read any fake dating books because I don't really love that trope.
• 56:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
• 56:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm against it.
• 56:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Don't.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Wait, have you read Brady's story in the boys of physics?
• 56:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's fake dating.
• 56:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I almost want to read the second one to read that.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Would you consider marriage of convenience spectating?
• 56:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 56:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, then I did bourbon and proof and play along because bourbon and proof is the last book and the bourbon boy series and this with daddy ace he's like 40 years old they're like all older and she's like 35 and they've been Pining after each other forever, but neither one of them knew it.
• 56:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: What does that book the perfect fit?
• 56:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, back there again.
• 56:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't like, but it wasn't that fake dating didn't they fake date I think so.

  [SPEAKER_02]: I know and I don't I don't hate it.
• 57:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like I would rather I like it like enemies to lovers or you friends to lovers.
• 57:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's fair.
• 57:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I like I don't like I don't know.
• 57:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like here for the cake this girl had to go to her sister's wedding and her sister was getting married to her college ex-boyfriend.
• 57:22

• 57:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so she was like and so she literally met this guy at a bar one night and they ended up being made later.

  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't withdraw to the glass though.
• 1:02:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't read this in opposite of that.
• 1:02:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I ever did either.
• 1:02:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even want it to give me the details.
• 1:02:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wait a minute.
• 1:02:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: Mainly because I was on the audiobook and I had it in the description of the book.
• 1:02:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
• 1:02:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's very true.
• 1:02:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was fun.
• 1:02:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was fun.
• 1:02:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 1:02:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: We read a lot of interesting books.

  [SPEAKER_01]: What was your final book, Elp?
• 1:02:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: For the year?

  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, 43.
• 1:02:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
• 1:02:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I was 132.
• 1:03:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: My goal was 40, so.
• 1:03:01

  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.

• 1:03:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's much of my life.
• 1:03:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.
• 1:03:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know much more.
• 1:03:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're gonna read though.
• 1:03:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not listening to the tone of glass.
• 1:03:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know I spent my whole freaking year listening to the throught glass.
• 1:03:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I can, because you read so, because you reread.
• 1:03:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also the same time.
• 1:03:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I read boys of Tom and so much.
• 1:03:24

• 1:03:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy.
• 1:03:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
• 1:03:38
