On this week's episode we deep dive into The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. This is the podcasts first forray into a mystery/thriller and it did not disappoint. This one kept us on our toes the whole time and it was so much more than a typical 'who done it'!

*** Teresa has a brain fart and refers to Releasing 10 as Claiming 10 repeatedly on this episode - APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE ** On this week's episode, we recap everything we've been reading lately which includes a VERY long rant about Releasing 10 by Chloe Walsh. In fact, if you've ever wondered if Teresa could out talk Katie she proves that she is more than capable of ranting for an hour straight on this episode.We discuss some sensitive topics this week which includes topics pertaining to mental health, childhood SA, and abuse (pertaining to Releasing 10) so please listen with caution.

On this week's episode, we discuss Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood. Spoiler alert, we are OBSESSED. According to us, this is her best book yet. There was something so addictive about it and we aren't even fans of an age-gap romance, HOWEVER, Ali did such a good job turning one of our least favorite tropes into a book that is one of our all time favorites.

On this week's episode we have Liz Tomforde on with us discussing 'Rewind it Back' and all things Windy City Series.We LOVE this series beyond words or comprehension and it is so bittersweet saying goodbye to some of our favorite characters but we cannot wait to see what else Liz has waiting for us up her sleeve in the future (Hint hint Monty and Reese) The episode is perfect for fans who have completed the Windy City Series and are dying to know what Liz will do next.

On this week's episode, we discuss 'Left of Forever' by Tarah DeWitt which is her newest release and one of our favorite books of the year. Tarah's writing somehow keeps getting better and better. She has such a beautiful way with words and creates the most wonderful love stories. We are lucky to be living in the same timeline as her.
