In this episode, Rose and Nichols go head-to-head in a friendly book showdown! Each host brings their current obsession — from heart-stopping thrillers to cozy romances — and tries to convince the other why it’s the next must-read.

Tune in for laughs, literary love, and some dangerously tempting recommendations.

Expect gush-worthy moments, thoughtful analysis, and a few tangents about which fictional tea blend we’d order first.

Ever start a book thinking you’re settling into one cozy setting — a boarding school, a small town, a quiet family home — only to realize by book three you’re navigating entire magical realms or political revolutions?

We’ll dive into some of our favorite examples, how world-building evolves across series, and why readers love that feeling of the world growing bigger with every page. Perfect for fantasy lovers, series binge-readers, and anyone who’s ever been surprised by how deep a story can go.Follow us on Instagram @webookedit

If you’ve ever cracked open House of Leaves, you know it’s not just a book — it’s an experience. But how many classic horror tropes are lurking within its twisting pages? In this episode, we’re peeling back the wallpaper (and maybe our sanity) to uncover the eerie elements that make House of Leaves one of the most unsettling horror novels ever written - while throwing in a few other novels along the way.We’ll talk claustrophobic spaces, unreliable narrators, found footage, the unknowable void, and all the ways authors weaponize storytelling itself. Grab your flashlight — and maybe don’t listen to this one alone.
Cats have padded their way into some of our favorite stories — from loyal companions to mysterious familiars, mischievous sidekicks, and even quiet observers of human chaos.
