146: A Warm Hug from "The House in the Cerulean Sea"
Tim Burton, if you're listening, we want you to produce this movie. TJ Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea" is an adventure in magical foster care and is packed full of life lessons and smiles. It's like a kids book written for adults. But will every adult like it?

145: I Who Have a Lot to Say About "I Who Have Never Known Men"
A plotless dystopian read with a nameless main character and no men. Do we have your attention? "I Who Have Never Known Men" is a fun thought exercise on humanity, womanhood, motherhood, solitude, etc. Well, for some people.

144: John Green is Back with "Everything is Tuberculosis"
You probably read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. His new book is pretty much the opposite of that, but with a touch of the same voice he brings to all of his work. History nerds and empaths alike have things to read in "Everything is Tuberculosis".

142: Vampire Summer? "Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil"
V.E. Schwab is back with another tale that crosses centuries and explores love and desire. This time, it also explores female rage. Toxic lesbian vampires? Yes! But also, over 500 pages. Is the prose enticing enough to keep our attention for hundreds of years?

141: The Girls Got Hold of "Red Rising"
Why do boys gatekeep some of the best sci-fi/fantasy? We certainly aren't afraid of big, wordy books. Pierce Brown's "Red Rising" has had a renewed interest thanks to TikTok - and we think largely to the BookTok girls.

140: “Atomosphere”: Out of this world or failure to launch?
We love a good Taylor Jenkins Reid story. The newest, "Atmosphere", has been creating a lot of buzz thanks to the anticipation of her fan base. A NASA woman astronaut love story? The hype writes itself. But did it live up to what everyone expected?

139: "Silver Elite" ...Mystery or Mess?
"Silver Elite" has been causing quite the stir in the online book community. Who is Dani Francis?? Is this book AI?? Is it political propaganda?? Or is it just a good "adult dystopian" read?

138: Savoring Summer with "Tom Lake"
Ann Patchett wrote an excellent summer read in "Tom Lake." It's set on a lake and a cherry farm in Michigan in the summer. But it has some very deep topics included - like time spent together during a pandemic. Is this the pandemic lit we've been looking for?
