Booked & Bitter

24. We Almost Talk About the Book!

Join us as we delve into the world of sports romance with the 'Mile High' series by Liz Tomford. We explore character dynamics, series themes, and our honest reviews, including a humorous ChatGPT summary.  Plus, we discuss current issues and of course, get off topic. Join us as we dive into a candid conversation about books, sports, politics, and personal quirks.  Did we mention we get off topic a lot? You're welcome!

23. Scott Hunter Would Never

Welcome back to your favorite slightly chaotic corner of the internet where we somehow turn hockey romance into a full-contact sport 🏒💅 In this episode, we spiral (lovingly) into the world of hockey romance—because nothing says emotional stability like emotionally unavailable men on skates. We’re talking olympic hockey, series deep dives, and why sports stories hit different when they actually bother to include everyone (we love growth, we demand more of it, do better publishing 👏). Naturally, we get sidetracked approximately 47 times—sharing unhinged personal stories, questionable life takes, and way too many opinions about fictional men who would absolutely ruin our lives. We also sprinkle in upcoming releases you will be adding to your TBR whether you like it or not. It’s books, it’s chaos, it’s laughs, it’s “wait what were we talking about again?” energy… and honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Happy Place, Books Slumps and Real Thoughts... with a side of everything.

In this episode, we’re diving into all the things—starting with how our podcast has kind of become chaos (but like… in a charming way). We get into Happy Place by Emily Henry and immediately start sidetracking like it’s our full-time job. Naturally, that spirals into talking about reading slumps, because apparently we can’t just read—we have to emotionally process everything too. We also take a quick detour into real life (as we do), touching on some political and social thoughts—nothing too wild, just us reminding everyone that empathy is free and maybe we should all use it more. From there, it’s a little bit of everything: sports feelings (because why do games hurt our emotions like that?), personal stories, tattoos and of course reading. We also talk about the struggle of being in a reading slump and how frustrating it is when your brain just… refuses to cooperate. But on the flip side, we love connecting with you guys online and how reading keeps us going—even when we’re dramatic and slightly unhinged. Basically, it’s one of those episodes where we talk about books… and then everything else… and somehow it all makes sense by the end. Sort of. 😅 Catch us on social media ◡̈   Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/people/Booked-and-Bitter-Podcast/61577926506137/#] - Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/bookedandbitterpodcast?igsh=amY3cXRscW12MnRw] - TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@bookedandbitterpodcast]  Just a reminder - we are not professionals about much... maybe don't take our advice.

ACOTAR Book One: Everyone Needs Therapy

In this episode of Booked & Bitter, we dive into A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas—aka the book that launched a thousand bad fae boyfriends. We talk Feyre’s traumatic glow-up, the Spring Court’s terrible communication skills, and why Tamlin gives us the ick (we said what we said!!!!!!). We unpack Under the Mountain chaos, applaud Feyre for doing literally everything, and collectively lose our minds the moment Rhysand shows up and makes the story interesting. By the end, we agree: ACOTAR is a gateway book, Tamlin is a walking red flag, and our standards for fictional men were forever changed. ✨ Tamlin is not our fave. Stay bitter. ✨ Catch us on social media ◡̈   Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/people/Booked-and-Bitter-Podcast/61577926506137/#] - Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/bookedandbitterpodcast?igsh=amY3cXRscW12MnRw] - TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@bookedandbitterpodcast]  Just a reminder - we are not professionals about much... maybe don't take our advice.

You Shouldn’t Have Come Here: Every Red Flag Was There

Hi, it’s us. We’re back on the mics, slightly unhinged, heavily opinionated, and once again pretending we have our lives (and book shelves) together. This episode starts strong with us admitting what it’s like to come back to podcasting like “okay but do we remember how to do this?” Then we dive headfirst into You Shouldn’t Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose, where absolutely everyone is suspicious, no one should trust their instincts, and every plot twist feels like the book whispering “surprise, bestie.” We break down the chaos, the deception, the questionable decisions, and why we were both yelling internally (and externally). Basically: books, feelings, side topics, rage, friendship, and chaotic vibes. You’re welcome.
