Busy Girls Book Club

Yes. We are serious. Today we are talking about "Twilight." Two of us read it as kids, but one of us is joining the craze a little late. So what merit do stories have when they become a seamless part of pop culture? Video: https://youtu.be/Acm7O7xQEd8

Dr. Emily Rath became an overnight TikTok sensation for her political views and discourse with social media followers. She's known for her hockey romance, but recently published a fantasy steeped in Finnish myth. Are the author and the book worth the hype? Video: https://youtu.be/Ht3nqyCIh40

There's no good way to describe "Big Swiss" succinctly. It's a bizarre adventure in trauma recovery with an unpredictable main character and a torrid affair. Is the absurdity of the story worth the time?  Video: https://youtu.be/EziP_6l3bXM

The Busy Girls Book Club loves a good retelling/reimagining of a classic myth. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is based in a Chinese myth about the woman on the moon, but the novel gives it a big spin. It's an epic adventure tale, but very wholesome. But is it worth 500 pages? Video: https://youtu.be/eC1BTHX5F30

We are diving into popular booktok author Abby Jimenez for the first time with "Say You'll Remember Me." It deals with love and loss and tough family and financial situations. But is it memorable? Video: https://youtu.be/zgiD4vt9w-A

We have finally come to the end of our Sarah J. Mass journey. "Kingdom of Ash" finishes off the Throne of Glass series and is over 900 pages of pure epic fantasy. So how do we feel after the end? Video: https://youtu.be/wwkJuBmzl_o

Yes, we're doing it. If you've seen the cover or read the disclaimer at the front, you know what we're getting into with Ali Hazelwood's "Deep End." And you know that Casey refuses to read any more from that author, so we invited her best friend Leighton to join us instead! Video: https://youtu.be/5wMcrtSQYxo

It's been a while since we did some thriller/horror, so this listener request was a fun one. Short and sweet, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" takes readers on a wild ride. And the hosts may not fall where you think in terms of reviews. Video: https://youtu.be/q5ijzgrrwx8

Oh dear. This book may be about us. Dive into a non-fiction pick with us as we discuss The Anxious Generation as people who are living it. Video: https://youtu.be/QbdnlWWJv_Q

Suzanne Collins is so back. Haymitch's games bring us back to the world of Hunger Games, and boy is it a doozy. Can we still find love in the YA dystopian we were raised on? Video: https://youtu.be/Vvd5QjsoW78
