In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly podcast, Brooke and Hope are back again to talk about giving your life a splash of WHIMSY. Speaking of whimsical, we take a small detour and talk about some things that really give us joy: crushing our kids/niece and nephew in games, books, movies…. and HEATED RIVALRY 🔥 We truly cannot get enough of Connor Storie, and Hudson Williams and will forever be fans of this masterpiece. We talk about The Housemaid and book adaptions, which leads to talking about more books.We end the episode by going over some ways we’re adding a little whimsy to our lives; such as taking a walk, coloring, going outside and grounding ourselves, etc. We want to know: how do you add whimsy to your life?

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly Podcast, Hope and Brooke are here to wrap up 2025, and look ahead to 2026. Combined, your girls read over 200 books in 2025 and are here to tell you what made the best list, and what stunk (immediately NO to anacondas, Mariana!!!). We look back at our words of the year from last year (spoiler alert: CRUSHED IT!) and pick our new words for 2026. What’s your word of the year? Tell us in the comments! We end the episode discussing how much we love Heated Rivalry, and per the usual Brooke doubles down on a rant like a boss. The Bookish and Bubbly Podcast is ready for another great year! P.S.

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly podcast, Brooke and Hope are back again with.... a whole episode dedicated to our love of Marcus Mumford, and Mumford and Sons. Hope took Brooke on a field trip where we spent the night mesmerized, and obviously we're going to tell you all about it. After we get all of our Marcus feelings out, we discuss the book Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney. This thriller takes you on a journey with so many twists and turns, and we'll never think about rock paper scissors the same. More specifically, we'll never choose scissors. P.S.

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly podcast, your girls ARE BACK!!! We took a much needed break and are back with a previously recorded episode on My Friends by Fredrik Backman. We start out the meeting by having a team meeting (want another hotties who have our heart ep? Comment below and let us know!) before diving into the very interesting writing style of Fredrik Backman. We wrestle with our thoughts on the book, but really had a lot of takeaways from this story. Brooke had a spiraling menty b (lololol), and we obviously talked a lot. Tell us…if you could write a book about your life, what would it be about? IT’S SO GOOD TO BE BACK! P.S.

In this last episode of our Summer Series (we know we’re late 🤭), the bookish and bubbly podcast will discuss a summery thriller that will keep you guessing: One of the Girls by Lucy Clarke. The book was fine, but we mostly talk about Brooke’s K-Pop Demon Hunters journey (which also equals Hope’s journey), Hope’s love of Magnolia Parks (@bailey, I still love you!!) that fully consumes her life, the key to being besties with Brooke, Halloween plans, a quick tangent on how Adam Sandler was a hottie, and an ending of what we would do if we found ourselves in a situation like the girls in this book and someone is dead, and we’re trying to avoid jail. Spoiler alert: Hope’s going to jail, but will not survive. We hope you enjoyed our summer series, and will join us for the fall! P.S.

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly podcast, Hope and Brooke talk about a book that shows the injustices towards women…annnnnnnnnd go on a rant about how, as Beyoncé said, We (SHOULD) Run the World. We start out the episode talking about thrifting, selling clothes to Clothes Mentor for pennies, and a plea to Old Navy to stay in your lane! We then move into talking about the book, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which leads into an in-depth discussion (read: rant) on how women should be handed the baton to run things, because let’s be real we’re bad asses. No hate to the men - we just think we should have a turn at sitting in the captain’s seat. Come along with us, it’s always a fun ride! P.S.

✨ Yes, we’re still in our summer series… even though it’s halfway through September. Brooke is trying her best, okay? 😂 In this episode, we finally sit down to talk about Before We Were by Monique Medved — but honestly, the real gems are all the tangents we spiral into.We cover:💅 Vacation nails gone wrong😱 Middle school trauma flashbacks📚 Post-apocalyptic teen book nostalgia (Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner… and why Hope needs to catch up on the bangers of 2013)🧟 Walking Dead memories + rice crispy brains & meatloaf feet (ew, WHY)📖 Hope starting Zodiac Academy (pencils down, people)🏡 Our compound-with-BFFs dream life💸 The ultimate bookish milestone: buying any book, in any format, at any timeIf you came for Before We Were, you’ll get that… but you’ll also get the usual tangents and BFF chatter about literally everything under the sun.P.S.

Welcome back to pure bookish chaos. We kick things off with ACOTAR 6 impatience, Maasverse tangents, our dream jobs as casting directors (and bookstore van owners, obviously), plus some heated book-to-screen adaptation debates (yes, we talk Henry Cavill).Eventually we make it to our actual book club pick — Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig — but only after 40 minutes of delightful derailment.If you’re here for a little book talk and a lot of tangents, you’re in the right place.

In this episode of the Bookish and Bubbly podcast, Hope and Brooke are back again with another summer series pick: Summer Fridays. Unfortunately (or fortunately 😉), we had more fun talking about the tales of our traumatizing third grade. Beginning with Hope being bullied, or being the bully(???), moving to a new school, flipping our cards to yellow, Brooke telling our classmate to shut up, and more…you won’t want to miss this bonus trauma dump! Don’t worry, we do talk about the book, too.
