In Our Bookish Era

Happy October Night Owls!Apologizes for the delayed episode, the weather gods weren't on our side this month, but we're here and we're ready to yap. We've got two books that you should definitely add to your list. The first is a horror novel about demons, or is it drug induced psychosis - read to find out! Next is a book you've seen everywhere, but maybe you haven't picked up yet because you're intimidated. Well, you heard it here, give it a shot!Books Discussed:My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady HendrixDungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinnima

We've got two books this month about missing kids, presumed dead. With no planning by us, our two books are eerily similar. Kids vanish without a trace. The cops and adults are no use. Amateur sleuths are on the case trying to figure out what really happened. Neither of us have finished our books at the time of the recording, and we have no solids causes on the truth. Listen in and let us know if you can solve it.

It's still too hot to read outside. Thankfully we've got some thrillers to keep us chilled and indoors. Murders galore. Sleuthing. Useless cops. We've got it all. Books DiscussedThe Anniversary by Alex FinlayIts Not Her by Mary Kubica

Summer is officially here and man is it getting toasty where we live. Maybe that's why we've got two books where you can't quite trust the narrator as they tell their tale. Are they telling us the truth, is it all make believe, we're putting them in the hot seat to find out.Books Discussed:Butterfly Garde by Dot HutchinsonMad Mabel by Sally Hepworth

This month is accidently all about the moms. One book is about a mom whose son is the prime suspect in the disappearance of his school bully. The other is about a trad wife who wakes up on the 1800s and can finally live out her life the old school way she always talks about on her socials. What wouldn't a mom do for their kid?Books Discussed:All The Other Moms Hate Me by Sarah HarmanYesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

We all told not to judge a book by its cover, and yet we do it anyway. This month both books are bright colors that draw the eye. And thankfully the pages within match up with expectations. An island stuck in 1994 and a woman who moves states to be closer to the man accused on multiple murders that she's been writing letters to.

Coming at cha with two thrillers that'll have you doing anything you can to sneak in another page or another 10 minutes of audio.Ms. Freida got Rachael again, with a domestic thriller of a woman who's too smart for her own good. Kristia's book will have you questioning what is reality and if anything is real or not anymore. Books Discussed:Dear Debbie by Freida McFaddenThe Patient by Jason DeWitt

Hey Night Owls! It's officially 2026, and while life may be a dumpster fire right now, we at least have books! For the two of us, January was a hit! One high fantasy, one domestic thriller that hit the big screens. Yeah, escaping into books was a good start for us. Books Discussed:The Housemaid by Frieda McFaddenThe Will of the Many by James Islington

2025 may have been hit or miss for us, but we ended on a high note. Listen in to hear Kristia yap about her current hyper fixation, The Game Changers series by Rachel Reid and Heated Rivalry by Crave. While Rachael found an audiobook that had her so hooked, she finished the entire thing! Charlie Donlea's The Girl Who Was Taken was that girl! PS: Kristia got a cold for Christmas (rude) so please excuse her audio.See you all in 2026! Kayloveyoubye
