Busy Girls Book Club

Bonnie Garmus' debut novel, "Lessons in Chemistry," is already making waves. It was Barnes and Noble's book of the year and is being adapted into a movie. The Busy Girls take a look at this phenomena and discuss powerful women, found family and the benefits of having a dog as a parent.

Cydne Robinson of the Bonnet Book Club joins the Busy Girls hosts to discuss "iCarly" child star Jennette McCurdy's memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died." The episode takes a deep dive into what it's like to write and read about experiencing trauma.

A trendy book many adults have picked up is YA novel "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It's a whimsical little mystery and the first in a trilogy. The Busy Girls hosts dive into whether it's worth the pick up or if it should stay in a middle school library.

The Busy Girls tackle the current last book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. It makes a huge shift to a new character perspective and also creates some plot whiplash. There's a lot to unpack.

Taylor Jenkins Reed's "Malibu Rising" explores one family pursuing and dealing with fame on the Malibu coast over the decades. While the Busy Girls hosts love a good TJR book and the reappearance of familiar characters, they're not sure if the complete cast of characters gets the job done.

The Busy Girls hosts look back on 2022 and what books made it an interesting year of reading.

We all know the Busy Girls love Sarah J. Maas, so are we surprised they chose the holiday novella, "A Court of Frost and Starlight," for a holiday episode? It's a happy little holiday story, but the merit of a novella is debatable.

Ali Hazelwood makes every nerdy little girl's grown up dreams come true with "The Love Hypothesis." It's a cheesy rom-com based in the world of academia. The steamy factor? Debatable. This episode probably shouldn't be consumed at work due to said debate.

The Busy Girls are joined by their number one fan... Casey's mom! Taylor Jenkins Reed takes historical fiction to a new level in "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo." But how good can a book be when the main character is extremely controversial?

Shocker! More Sarah J. Maas from the Busy Girls. "A Court of Wings and Ruin" is the third book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and this one has higher stakes for the characters. No spoiler here - the hosts still love this series.
