46 - Emily Dickinson Review with Special Guest!

Today's episode is super special - we have Caidyn with us! School is much cooler now and teacher's do awesome things like giving host a podcast episode as a project. So this is a fun collab with the Literary Lounge - Caidyn's poetry review project. We reviewed Emily Dickinson and shared three of our favorites of her poems. We also shared our love for the Out Of My... series by Sharon M Draper and Caidyn's current reading Mint To Be by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc.  Don't forget to tune in for episode 47, when we'll be back to normal reading - The Naturals by Jennifer Lyn Barnes #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookreview #readersofinstagram #booknerd #read #bookcommunity #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #booklovers #instabook #reader #bookaholic #bookclub #kindleunlimitedbooks #kindlebooks #podcast #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #amazonprime #newepisode #applepodcasts #podcasters #applepodcast #newpodcast #spotifypodcast

45: Beneath a Scarlet Sky

Genre exploration year continues with Historical Fiction, well historical based on unverifiable facts with a lot of verifiable ones in there, too. This book feels important to read - and although it was a definite change from our usual light-hearted romance - listen to this episode to find out what we thought about it.  Don't forget to tune in for episode 46 - The Naturals by Jennifer Lyn Barnes #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookreview #readersofinstagram #booknerd #read #bookcommunity #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #booklovers #instabook #reader #bookaholic #bookclub #kindleunlimitedbooks #kindlebooks #podcast #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #amazonprime #newepisode #applepodcasts #podcasters #applepodcast #newpodcast #spotifypodcast

43: Duke It Out

Duke It Out by Bella James is the topic of episode 43! A book that takes place in the highlands of Scotland - it opens really strong on the spice, cools off for a while, and then picks back up.

42: 2025 in Review and 2026 Look Ahead

Episode 42 we took a look back at how much, and what type of reading we did in 2025. Did we meet our goals? You'll have the listen to find out!  We also explain a purposeful slowing and restructuring of the podcast. So if you are ready for us to branch out a bit from the romance format - you're in luck! We have one more typical book to start with, since we already prepped it, and then we are starting our year of variety and quality! Stay tuned for our next book, Duke it Out by Bella James #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #bookreview #readersofinstagram #booknerd #read #bookcommunity #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #booklovers #instabook #reader #bookaholic #bookclub #kindleunlimitedbooks #kindlebooks #podcast #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #amazonprime #newepisode #applepodcasts #podcasters #applepodcast #newpodcast #spotifypodcast
