122. July Book Club: Summer in the City

In today’s episode, we’re sharing books that we think are overhyped, underhyped, and appropriately hyped. A lot of these you’ve heard us talk about before but that’s because we LOVE them. And it’s okay if you don’t agree - we still love you! We also have a documentary recommendation for you at the end, please let us know your thoughts after you’ve watched it!!   Come hang with us on Instagram!   Currently Reading: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling Rose in Chains by Julie Soto Manacled by SenLinYu The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn by Valerie Bowman  

This week we are discussing all of the flashbacks in Manacled! This is really where the meat of the story is and when we learn SO MUCH about the background of how we get to where we are at the beginning of the story. We just love this story so much and cannot wait to be able to talk about the entire story! Make sure to keep us updated on all of your thoughts in our Fable group!   Come hang with us on Instagram!   Currently Reading: Manacled by SenLinYu Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune Drive me Crazy by Lizzy Dent Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling  

August was definitely our worst reading month so far this year - Kyleigh kept the momentum going and read 8 books, Hannah managed to read 5 and Micaela read 3. But don’t worry, we actually have some really great conversations this episode surrounding books! And we let our cute, delulu selves jinx Lando this weekend at the Dutch Grand Prix…but we still have faith in our fave driver!!   Check out the full list of what we read over on our Instagram!   Currently Reading: Manacled by SenLinYu Funny Feelings by Tara DeWitt Right on Cue by Fallon Ballard  

Welcome to our third annual fall book recommendations episode! Fall is the best season for reading (we don’t make the rules), and it’s always fun putting together these lists for you! If anyone is hooked on Dramione’s while reading Manacled with us, Micaela gives a list of her faves as well!   Come hang out with us on Instagram!   Currently Reading: Manacled by SenLinYu Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy  

We’re debuting a brand-new segment in today’s episode, and let’s just say, it wasn’t as easy as we thought! Each of us brought quotes from books, and the challenge was to guess which character said them. Some were a breeze, but others had us completely stumped. Huge thanks to everyone who sent in quotes — you definitely kept us on our toes (and we need some answers!)   Come hang out with us on Instagram!   Currently Reading: Manacled by SenLinYu Just Once by Karen Kingsbury My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan  

This week we are talking through chapters 1-25 of Manacled! We are so excited to be reading through this with you and introducing you to this incredible story. We also give some of our thoughts on the most recent episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, as well as some F1 discussion at the end.  Currently Reading: Manacled by SenLinYu These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean We’ll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han Just Once by Karen Kingsbury Swift and Saddled by Lyla Sage Come hang out with us on Instagram!
