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.

Suzanne Collins is so back. Haymitch's games bring us back to the world of Hunger Games, and boy is it a doozy. Can we still find love in the YA dystopian we were raised on?

Quicksilver is the definition of a TikTok trending book. Is it more of the same Romantasy? Do we care?

We are back with another Kindred's Curse book because we all organically continued the series. That should tell you something.

"Martyr!" is an interesting collision of poetry and political identity that produces a unique narrative that also encompasses addiction and grief. What makes a "good death" is the central topic explored. And it's not everyone's cup of chai.

Andy Weir is having a second outer space book adapted for film, and this time it's "Project Hail Mary." This story may have one of the best sidekick characters of all time. Is it worth it for those who aren't fans of sci-fi?

Geraldine Brooks is an award winner for a reason, and we grabbed her historical fiction, "Year of Wonders." Based off of a true story of a plague village in England, this one tackles so many important and interesting themes.

Penn Cole's "Spark of the Everflame" is the first in the Kindred's Curse series. While the discussion only covers the first book, it seems all of the hosts have already read on in this fantasy series with a fresh world and magic system.

Anyone else thankful BookTok was unbanned before Onyx Storm came out? The fan theories out there are WILD. In this episode of entirely spoilers, we talk about what might come next in the series based off questions we still have, and we break down TikTok's finest fan theories. And we have receipts.

Book three of The Empyrean series is long awaited, but maybe we could have waited longer? The bar is set so very high for this BookTok darling. Can it ever achieve what its fans hope for?

Sally Rooney apparently doesn't use quotation marks or complete sentences, but really likes long paragraphs and run-on sentences. Is it art to write about loss and love this way? Or is it just too much work?

Is it a mystery, or is it a commentary on class struggles and the power of men? Liz Moore's "The God of the Woods" was an unexpected read. Beautiful setting and complicated timeline combine for an interesting tale.

See trending books and review them... promise delivered. "Ice Planet Barbarians" somehow has enough of a cult following to have over 20 books in the bizarre series. Can the Busy Girls get behind one this weird?

If you think we've argued over a book before, wrong. Now THIS is a true debate. Two romantasy lovers vs. a lit fic queen on the topic of "When the Moon Hatched." Is fantasy's latest dragon darling worth the read?

We take a look back at the best books of the year both on and off the podcast and talk through some superlative awards. Plus, find out the Busy Girls Book of the Year.

What if you could take enough pills to sleep an entire year of your life away? It's a question no one asked but "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" tries to answer.
