The BFF Bookclub Mid-Year Check-In

On this week's episode we check-in and discuss our favorite reads so far in 2025. We go over our reading goals, talk about our five-star reads, best audiobooks, and honorable mentions!

On this week's episode we deep dive into Atmosphere by TJR. We are both absolutely obsessed with this masterpiece. Truly one of her best books to date - all around amazing. The plot, the characters, the writing all phenomenal. She hit this one into outer space, it is truly out of this world ;)

*** 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' episode, we talk about everything we've been reading and loving lately. This includes some new releases (Problematic Summer Romance and Silver Elite) plus everything we have coming up over the next couple of weeks.

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.

On this week's episode we discuss the new Off Campus casting news, Teresa's regency romance recs, and Katie's newest romantasy reads!

On this week's episode, we interviewed author Maggie C Gates and talked about her newest release, 700 Senses of Summer. We absolutely devoured this book. It had hot firemen, forced proximity, houses renovations, and a little mysterious twist! Along with an amazing cast of side characters and burning tension between the two leads, we ate this one up!

On this week's episode we discuss Emily Henry's 'Great Big Beautiful Life' and we are a podcast that is SPLIT down the middle on how we feel about this one. While we both really enjoyed it, Teresa feels like this is her least liked EmHen book while Katie is shouting from the rooftops about this being her all-time favorite. As always though, we both found her writing and storytelling to be off the charts amazing.
