Bookish and Bubbly

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.

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.

It’s time for our June reading wrap-up — and we read a LOT. From the books that blew our pants off to the ones that totally flopped, we’re breaking it all down with our usual chaos and unfiltered opinions.Brooke goes on an entire tangent about Zodiac Academy (spoiler-free, don’t worry), Hope discovers some surprise favorites, and of course we crown our monthly stinkers. If you’ve ever wondered how many books two unhinged readers can devour in one month... the answer is too many.Grab your coffee (or wine?) and let’s talk books, baby. 💅📚👇 Drop a comment and let us know what books you'd love to hear us talk about — or any chaotic topics you want us to ramble through.

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.

In this episode of The Bookish and bubbly Podcast, Brooke and Hope are here to wrap up January AND February. We talk about all the books we loved, all the books that fell flat, and everything in between. We continue to be obsessed with the Boys of Tommen series that Hope is definitely getting for her birthday, and also continue to fight (with love) over our creativity (or lack thereof) in seeing characters come to life in our minds. But the best part of the episode is our unofficial manager, Mitch, joining us at the beginning to talk about music, SZA, and curse words. P.S.
