Red Rising fans are torn on whether book one or book two - "Golden Son" - are the better story. The Busy Girls are in agreement, though. What was sort of like "Game of Thrones" is now an outer space adventure and no character is safe.

Tim Burton, if you're listening, we want you to produce this movie. TJ Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea" is an adventure in magical foster care and is packed full of life lessons and smiles. It's like a kids book written for adults. But will every adult like it?

A plotless dystopian read with a nameless main character and no men. Do we have your attention? "I Who Have Never Known Men" is a fun thought exercise on humanity, womanhood, motherhood, solitude, etc. Well, for some people.

You probably read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. His new book is pretty much the opposite of that, but with a touch of the same voice he brings to all of his work. History nerds and empaths alike have things to read in "Everything is Tuberculosis".

V.E. Schwab is back with another tale that crosses centuries and explores love and desire. This time, it also explores female rage. Toxic lesbian vampires? Yes! But also, over 500 pages. Is the prose enticing enough to keep our attention for hundreds of years?

Why do boys gatekeep some of the best sci-fi/fantasy? We certainly aren't afraid of big, wordy books. Pierce Brown's "Red Rising" has had a renewed interest thanks to TikTok - and we think largely to the BookTok girls.

We love a good Taylor Jenkins Reid story. The newest, "Atmosphere", has been creating a lot of buzz thanks to the anticipation of her fan base. A NASA woman astronaut love story? The hype writes itself. But did it live up to what everyone expected?

"Silver Elite" has been causing quite the stir in the online book community. Who is Dani Francis?? Is this book AI?? Is it political propaganda?? Or is it just a good "adult dystopian" read?
Ann Patchett wrote an excellent summer read in "Tom Lake." It's set on a lake and a cherry farm in Michigan in the summer. But it has some very deep topics included - like time spent together during a pandemic. Is this the pandemic lit we've been looking for?

Yes. We are serious. Today we are talking about "Twilight." Two of us read it as kids, but one of us is joining the craze a little late. So what merit do stories have when they become a seamless part of pop culture?

Dr. Emily Rath became an overnight TikTok sensation for her political views and discourse with social media followers. She's known for her hockey romance, but recently published a fantasy steeped in Finnish myth. Are the author and the book worth the hype?

There's no good way to describe "Big Swiss" succinctly. It's a bizarre adventure in trauma recovery with an unpredictable main character and a torrid affair. Is the absurdity of the story worth the time?

The Busy Girls Book Club loves a good retelling/reimagining of a classic myth. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is based in a Chinese myth about the woman on the moon, but the novel gives it a big spin. It's an epic adventure tale, but very wholesome. But is it worth 500 pages?

We are diving into popular booktok author Abby Jimenez for the first time with "Say You'll Remember Me." It deals with love and loss and tough family and financial situations. But is it memorable?

We have finally come to the end of our Sarah J. Mass journey. "Kingdom of Ash" finishes off the Throne of Glass series and is over 900 pages of pure epic fantasy. So how do we feel after the end?

Yes, we're doing it. If you've seen the cover or read the disclaimer at the front, you know what we're getting into with Ali Hazelwood's "Deep End." And you know that Casey refuses to read any more from that author, so we invited her best friend Leighton to join us instead!

It's been a while since we did some thriller/horror, so this listener request was a fun one. Short and sweet, "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" takes readers on a wild ride. And the hosts may not fall where you think in terms of reviews.

Oh dear. This book may be about us. Dive into a non-fiction pick with us as we discuss The Anxious Generation as people who are living it.
