Natalie aka OhThatNatalie on socials joins from Canada as we get to talk about a number of her passions. While we start off strong with talk of tiramisu, we dive into one of our main topics - Books! Natalie talks about how she got back into reading, fanfiction, and what books she is drawn to now. She gives several recommendations (see links below), and we talk openly about how she shares her very personal reactions to some of the books she's read on her Instagram page. She talks about how she decides which books sit on shelves, and which books get boxed to be saved for later. Mixed in with that talk, we do delve into a little about hockey and how Natalie is a fan of the Carolina Hurricanes and how that came to be. We then jump over to video games and Twitch streaming. Natalie talks about how she first got into video games, and what kind of video games she is drawn to. Natalie talks about her start as a Twitch streamer, streaming The Sims 4, and eventually transitioning to story based games such as Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Ghost of Tsushima, to recent Souls like games.

This week, I talk with Zoe B. Wallbrook about her hilariously funny and suspenseful mystery novel History Lessons. We dive into her inspiration for the book, how she incorporated misogynoir and how she injected so much humor.History Lessons SynopsisA college history professor must solve her superstar colleague's murder before she becomes the next target in this funny, romantic debut mystery, perfect for readers of Janet Evanovich, Kellye Garrett, and Ali Hazelwood.As a newly minted junior professor, Daphne Ouverture spends her days giving lectures on French colonialism, working on her next academic book, and going on atrocious dates. Her small world suits her just fine. Until Sam Taylor dies.The rising star of Harrison University's anthropology department was never one of Daphne's favorites, despite his popularity. But that doesn't prevent Sam's killer from believing Daphne has something that belonged to Sam—something the killer will stop at nothing to get.Between grading papers and navigating her disastrous love life, Daphne embarks on her own investigation to find out what connects her to Sam's murder. With the help of an alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller, she unravels a deadly cover-up on campus.This well-crafted, voice-driven mystery introduces an unforgettable crime fiction heroine.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bride: "I'd be Alpha." Hey, ACOFAE aren't prudes. You've probably been thinking that recently, but Laura Marie and Jessica Marie promise that they are not, and Bride will prove it! Misery is a vampire in a world where humans, werewolves, and vampires have carved out a truce by way of using collateral— children— to guarantee peace. When Misery's father comes to her and tells her that she will be the bride in a marriage to broker peace between the vampires and the werewolves, what follows is an unlearning of assumptions and stereotypes on both sides. Filled with all the best tropes and partnered with characters that have major chemistry, Bride is a delight from start to finish. "Not knot, but not not knot."

Is every age gap romance problematic? We're here to dive deeper into Ali Hazelwood's most recent book. Maya is not your typical romcom heroine; she's got anger issues, teenage trauma, and isn't afraid to call people out. She's not for everyone, but her romance with Connor feels organic, and the well-paced flashbacks make this book fly by.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/228691356-problematic-summer-romance?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=mt0owJHxff&rank=1Similar (age gap) BooksTwilight by Stephanie Meyerhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41865.Twilight?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=2ZoQ2Xp70c&rank=1Wild Magic Series by Tamora Piercehttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13836.Wild_Magic?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=Ixp0BQdSRt&rank=2The Emperor's Edge Series by Lindsey Burokerhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10031259-the-emperor-s-edge?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=xP3o26XwsB&rank=1Evermore by Lynn Viehlhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1264696.Evermore?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=5IDCm6Jovp&rank=1Prince of Dreams by Lisa Kleypashttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/693033.Prince_of_Dreams?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=ZjASOlKRak&rank=1Storm Over The Lake by Diana Palmerhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566136.Storm_Over_the_Lake?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=0p2zSI1a1C&rank=1https://patreon.com/notanotherheroine
Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca, and we're BACK from our little summer hiatus—tanned, caffeinated, and bookishly overachieving (well, we're trying at least). We hope your June was full of iced lattes, shady reading spots, and at least one swoony fictional man who ruined real-life dating forever.In this episode, we're wrapping up all the reads from June: the hits, the flops, the age gap cowboys, and one very controversial YA tearjerker. Plus, we're spilling some bookish tea with adaptation news and announcing our July featured read! Buckle up: it's a long one.Bookish News!* People We Meet on Vacation is getting a movie adaptation starring Tom Blythe and Emily Batterer (screaming!).* The Mindfck Series* by S.T. Abbey is getting a TV adaptation (!!!)* Tom Felton is BACK as Draco Malfoy in the Cursed Child Broadway production.* Elsie Silver's Rose Hill series and Lauren Roberts' Powerless are getting the screen treatment.* Aaaaand we're about to live in a golden age of Emily Henry adaptations. Bring it on.What We Read in JuneStacey's Stack (9 Books!)* The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – 5 stars across the board. Reading this as a 30-something hits way harder than it did at 16. Still obsessed with Peeta. Still ready to fight President Snow in the street.* Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins – Another 5 stars. Haymitch's story broke our hearts and then broke them again. Best in the series? Possibly.* Death Row by Freida McFadden – 2 stars. Frida, babe, go to bed.* A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole – 3 stars. Religious trauma triggers, but beautifully written. Just... rough waters emotionally.* Better Luck Next Time by Cara Bastone – 3 stars. Time-traveling romance with emotional damage. Not her best, but still enjoyable.* Chasing the Wild by Elliot Rose – 3 stars. Age-gap cowboy romance. Spicy and dramatic, but the writing felt a bit green.* I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry – 2 stars. Too many POVs, too many timelines, too many headaches.* Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood – 4 stars. Age-gap summer fling in Sicily. Sweet, smart, and a little bit sizzling.Rebecca's Stack (5 Books)* Death Row by Freida McFadden – 2 stars. "What the hell did I just read?" —Rebecca* The Exception to the Rule by Christina Lauren – 5 stars. Email banter romance PERFECTION.* The Worst Wingman Ever by Abby Jimenez – 5 stars. Anonymous Valentine's Day notes. Grandma wisdom. Neti pot revenge.* Rosie and the Dreamboat by Sally Thorne – 5 stars. Float pod disaster turns firefighter flirtfest. We approve.* Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - we'll discuss this one soon ;)July Featured Read ✨ We're back on our Emily Henry bullsh*t. This month's pick is Great Big Beautiful Life – a summer-set contemporary romance featuring rival biographers, secret NDAs, and a whole lot of slow-burn energy. It's giving enemies-to-lovers at an island writing retreat. Let's gooooo. That's a wrap on June! Don't forget to leave us a comment on Spotify, follow us on Instagram, and read along with our July book club pick.

In this episode of Booked & Unfiltered, Michelle Glogovac and Stephanie Hockersmith unpack the latest controversy surrounding bestselling author Ali Hazelwood and the harsh realities of online book discourse. They dive into the complexities of fandom culture, the rise of performative outrage, and how bullying masked as “critique” is eroding empathy in the book community. Michelle and Steph share why reading the actual book still matters, why we can care about literature and global issues at the same time, and how nuance has all but disappeared from internet conversations. This episode is a rally cry for book lovers who still believe stories can build bridges—and that authors deserve humanity, not harassment. What We're Talking About... Feedback on the Read the Damn Book series is positive. It's okay to put down a book you're not enjoying. People feel pressure to read certain books in professional settings. Online bullying over fictional character preferences is unnecessary. Empathy should guide our discussions and disagreements. Books can open our eyes to different perspectives. The importance of treating authors as human beings. Fandom debates can become toxic and unproductive. We should focus our energy on real-world issues. Reading should be an enjoyable escape, not a source of conflict. Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:58 The Importance of Reading and Book Discussions 02:56 Author Ali Hazelwood and Online Criticism 06:01 Team PETA vs. Team Gale: Fandom Debates 09:04 The Impact of Online Bullying and Keyboard Warriors 12:08 Empathy and Understanding in Discussions 15:05 Books vs. Real-World Issues 17:54 Conclusion and Call to Action

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Jessica's Genre: Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood. Celebrating Jessica Marie's half birthday with her genre of choice, ACOFAE dives into the Romance genre with Ali Hazelwood's Love, Theoretically. Surprising maybe someone, Laura Marie loved this story that is filled with Academia, it's politics, people pleasing, and learning how to truly be yourself. Oh and also unlearning the need for male validation. ACOFAE loves that. Elsie is a Physicist and needs a job badly. Jack is a Physicist and has met Elsie before in different circumstances. Shenanigans ensue that are as delightful as they are meaningful. Throw in a delightful female friendship dynamic and a grand gesture at the end and Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are eating this story up. Why are men.

What have we been doing for the last couple weeks?
