They also discuss the painfully slow pacing, missed opportunities for character development, and why Jonas somehow managed to become Public Enemy No. 1 of the podcast.So… can a pirate king desperately searching for his kidnapped wife fix your life? Maybe. Can Jonas? Absolutely f'n not.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: [email protected] us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli close out their Reddit Paranormal series with one final story guaranteed to make you suspicious of every dark corner in your bedroom.A woman wakes in her university dorm room to find a smooth, blue-glowing figure crouched silently in the corner. Strangely, the figure doesn’t feel threatening until it suddenly points across the room and vanishes the moment she looks away. Was it a dream, sleep paralysis, an alien encounter, or simply a giant supernatural baby sitting in time-out?Naturally, the story sends Yajaira and Cheli spiraling into their own terrifying experiences with sleep paralysis, shadowy roommates, unexplained voices, and the dangers of recording during the devil’s hour. Between debating whether paranormal entities can be disciplined with a stern teacher voice and deciding they would rather start swinging than investigate, the hosts give their final spooky submission a well-deserved 10 out of 10.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: [email protected] us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Send us Fan MailYajaira and Cheli are continuing with a Reddit NoSleep for spooky season of The Book Fix! This time, they’re diving into the creepy story “My phone started notifying me about things that hadn’t happened yet,” where an ordinary phone begins delivering very unordinary notifications... revealing people’s secrets, predicting terrifying events, and eventually knowing way too much about its owner. What starts as unsettling quickly turns into full-on nightmare fuel when the notifications seem less interested in predicting the future and more interested in controlling it.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: [email protected] us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Send us Fan MailHappy spooky season!! Or perhaps not-so-happy spooky season because this week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are diving into another disturbing story from Reddit’s NoSleep. This one is told from the perspective of a lonely child who befriends a tall, skeletal figure named Oliver near the river behind their home.Oliver may be the child’s only companion, but his cold touch, cracking bones, unsettling gifts, and increasingly painful “games” suggest that he is anything but imaginary or at least friendly. Yajaira and Cheli attempt to unravel the story’s upsetting final twist, debate whether Oliver was a demon, an imaginary friend brought to life, or a grown man hiding in plain sight, and somehow take a detour into the deeply questionable imaginary-friend romance novel Yajaira read as a child. Was Oliver supernatural, or is the truth somehow even more horrifying? The theories are divided, the vibes are deeply uncomfortable, and the Spookometer may be sitting at zero, but the sadness and emotional damage are off the charts.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: [email protected] us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix
