70: Quickening the Pace with "Queen of Shadows"
It's Sarah J. Maas part...??? We lost track. If you're still with us, Queen of Shadows is a huge turning point in the Throne of Glass series. The books keep getting longer and the plots multiply, so there's a lot to discuss.

68: Return to the Hunger Games with "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"
Every millennial was caught in the throes of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy. Now, a prequel to the series has been turned into a movie.

64: Gaining Real Momentum in "Heir of Fire"
In the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, it's the third book that really gets things going. The world gets so much bigger in "Heir of Fire" and new characters are introduced. Is this the best one in the series?

63: A Little Depressed after "A Little Life"
So many trigger warnings. "A Little Life" is the Busy Girls' most anticipated episode - mostly because it's been nearly a year in the making. It's a beast of a book to tackle. So, is over 800 pages of complex trauma worth it?
