Busy Girls Book Club

Trigger warnings x1,000. This book is about the meat industry - if the only edible meat were other people. While the thematic writing of this book is genius, it WILL leave you feeling sick to the stomach. So is it worth the read? Will you need therapy? This might be the best Busy Girls discussion to date.

Aiden Thomas lends a voice to the trans, queer, Latinx community in YA urban fantasy, "Cemetery Boys." The Busy Girls dive into the world of the brujx and talk about representation and whether YA correctly carries the message.

The Busy Girls have the latest from Rebecca Yarros, Jessica Knoll, Elena Armas and Rick Riordan in this Busy Girls Bonus.

Romance, comedy... death? What more could a girl want. To kick off a full October of spooky themed episodes, the Busy Girls tackle Ashley Poston's "The Dead Romantics." A ghostwriter can see ghosts and a handsome editor starts to cause her some trouble. What could go wrong?

Many people in a "Fourth Wing" reading slump have turned to Rebecca Ross' "Divine Rivals." This is a YA story, so there's less spice. But is it still worth it? Does it fill the void?

A book dedicated to BookTok? Nothing sounds more perfect for the Busy Girls Book Club. Melissa Blair's "A Broken Blade" plays to every fantasy girl's wishes while doing so much more. It somehow wraps up tricky topics like alcoholism, persecution of indigenous people and self-harm into a fantasy novel. Trigger warning implied - it's a complicated read.

Dark Academia meets Urban Fantasy on Yale's campus in Leigh Bardugo's "Ninth House." The Busy Girls enjoy the Grishaverse, but what about this totally separate series from Bardugo?

For a YA novel, Tracy Deonn's "Legendborn" has a lot of very mature topics. Trigger warnings: racism, rape, loss, etc. And the very brilliant main character deals with that all while becoming part of an Arthurian legend. The Busy Girls have high praise for this YA novel.

In this Busy Girls Bonus we talk latest fantasy news, publishers spoiling their own books and what book is coming soon to TV.
