Book Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

We are finally reviewing The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins! We might be a little obsessed with the Hunger Games trilogy and now it's appropriate to talk about it.

Tune in as we discuss how this prequel sheds some light on the development of the Hunger Games, how we felt about the narrator, and our theories about the ending.

Book Review: The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

Today's book review is The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin. This is a heartfelt novel about two patients in neighboring wards who strike up an unlikely friendship. This is definitely one of those books that tears at your heartstrings and makes you appreciate every moment you spend living. Please join us as we discuss our thoughts on the book, the crime of having to return popular library brooks, and the decision making behind picking the perfect plane book.

Q1 Reading Recap

Today we are recapping our 2025 quarter 1 reading journey! This year has seen a lot of change for us and we are so excited to share our thoughts with you all.

Book Review: Don't Hex and Drive

Do you ever wish you liked a book more than you actually did? Unfortunately, that was Amy's experience while reading today's book. Don't Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross is the second book in a paranormal romance series about a family of witches. Tune in to join our discussion about why we think Amy didn't like this sweet urban mystery fantasy. On the other hand, I found it surprisingly delightful! Let us know what you thought!

Book Review: Heartless Hunter

We've been on a reading grind and we're back with another book review! Today we're discussing Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, an enemies-to-lovers YA fantasy novel. Thank you BookTok because this book was a fantastic read! We chat about what we enjoyed, sing the praises of duologies, and try to think of sequels we enjoyed. Of course, any time sequels come up we have to talk about Iron Flame. Somehow we end up comparing The Empyrean series with the Harry Potter series and their ability to maintain their relevance and audience.
