Send us Fan MailBack for another episode! We deviated a lot in this episode and ended up talking about Monster the Ed Gein Story. Connor and me both finished the 3rd season of the Ryan Murphy series and just kind of dove into it after Connor mentioned wanting to read something about him - which if you have any recommendation, we’ll take them!The book topic for this months episode was multiple editions of books, which we do get to. Support the showFollow Chaotic Readers on instagram @ChaoticReadersPodcastFollow Connor on  TikTok @GoldenRetrieverReviews & on instagram @connorvallee_author.Follow Jenna on Instagram & TikTok @JennaLeighsBookshelf

Send us Fan MailWe’re back with another episode! We talk about our current reads, as always, and touch on our personal rating system. Breaking down what makes a 5 star and 4 star read for us. We also talk a little about our own writing. I would like to note, that durning this episode I used the incorrect pronouns for Alyson Stoner who identifies with They/Them pronouns. I sincerely apologize, I had not done my part to ensure that I used the correct and preferred pronouns for them. It’s a simple thing to just respect someone’s identity and I meant nothing by it, it was an honest oversight on my part.  — JennaSupport the showFollow Chaotic Readers on instagram @ChaoticReadersPodcastFollow Connor on  TikTok @GoldenRetrieverReviews & on instagram @connorvallee_author.Follow Jenna on Instagram & TikTok @JennaLeighsBookshelf
