Send us Fan MailYou asked for some horror coverage, and that's exactly what you're getting! Today we're here with CJ Leede, THE Queen of horror, to get to know her, introduce her brand new book Headlights and discuss why horror with feminist themes is so important and is resonating on a different level with readers right now. Don't worry, this episode is entirely spoiler free, so if you're horror curious but not sure if it's for you, stick around to find out why we think the thriller and fantasy girlies might just be on track to embrace a new, spookier genre.Headlights is now available everywhere you find your favorite books including Audible (starring audiobook narrator Andrew Eiden who many of you may know as Teddy Hamilton…!). The scream we scrempt when CJ told us that fact should've been recorded - oh wait! It was. What can we say? It was the best possible audiobook surprise. We talk briefly about her previous comedic slasher release Maeve Fly, the USA Today bestseller, winner of the Golden Poppy Octavia E. Butler Award, the Splatterpunk Award for Best Novel, and a Bram Stoker Award nominee, and her second apocalyptic feminist horror novel American Rapture named one of the best horror books of 2024 by Esquire Magazine, a Goodreads and Publisher's Weekly Editor's pick and A Splatterpunk Award finalist. What should you expect when you pick up one of CJ's books? Why are they all wildly different? And how scary is Headlights, really? In addition to being a horror writer, CJ is a hiker and Trekkie, and when she's not driving around the country, she can be found in LA with her boyfriend and rescue dogs. Make sure to go follow her @ceejthemoment for all the latest updates on her book tour! We're bringing you all of this, plus CJ's “Fave & Fail” Headlights edition, and a rapid fire smash or pass with all of our favorite horror movie men. Check out CJ Leede here https://us.macmillan.com/author/cjleedeAnd on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ceejthemoment?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Don't be shy, subscribe!

As we wrap up our A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J Maas analysis, we take a quick break to revisit your favorite made-up Taylor Swift game! Jac and Amy each come with a quote from Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl album and the other person has to guess what ACOTAR character they are thinking about. Does it make sense? Not entirely. Do they know what they are doing? Hardly. Will Amy get fed up with Jac's BS? Absolutely. Nesta, Cassian, Rhysand, Feyre, Azriel, Elain, Lucien, Tamlin, Amren, Mor, Eris???? Who will they choose?

Send us Fan MailSo, here's the thing… Today we're bringing you a spoiler free, homework free, judgement free (kinda) episode where we ruin fantasy books for you by being naysayers. We're bringing light to what we're calling “Fantasy Probs,” aka those things in our favorite books that pull us right out of the story because… well, they're just not realistic. And hey, if you like this go check out our first ruining fantasy episode for more! Believe us, we know this sounds completely insane when we have no problems accepting hidden realms, magical creatures, and hidden powers. But there are just certain things we can't deny that stand out as simply unbelievable. Like, shadow daddies almost never eat… anything other than you know what… or the fact that no one has a day job, inns with one bed exist around every remote corner, and everyone's wielding swords after slashing their palms left and right. Things are just not adding up. We've got spicy time with no showers, MMCs winking and giving us the icks, medieval settings with modern names and phrases, and the undeniable fantasy urge to trust a person in their teens or early twenties to literally save the planet. We're bringing you all of this, plus a weekly fave and fail about a lost diamond and “going into the woods…” and a smash or pass “petty reasons why I dnf-ed a book” edition. Don't be shy, subscribe!

Send us Fan MailDid you see that we got to interview Nikki St. Crowe?! When the Queen of spicy fairytale reimaginings calls, you answer and promptly cover her new book West of Wicked!  We thought we'd made it out of the Oz universe alive and *relatively* unscathed but “spoiler alert* we got sucked right back in. Are we happy about it? Listen on to find out. West of Wicked is book one in the Great and Terrible Land trilogy, with book one out now, and book two East of Envy scheduled to release on November third of this year! So buckle up for a whole new take on Dorothy, the witches, and her most beloved companions. Oz is creepier and dark, Dorothy is an older and more powerful badass, the Scarecrow is tall, dark and handsome, the Tin Man is a mercenary with a bionic arm, and the Lion and Wizard… you'll just have to read to see. Stick around for our spoiler free reviews, spice ratings, deep dive summary (brought to you by Ashley this time!) and a lovely side tangent where Liz plays “the cups.” We apologize in advance for the chaos. But listen, we're not in Kansas anymore.

Send us Fan MailRites of the Starling, Rites of the Starling, Rites of the Starling…if you say it three times, does The Guardian appear?

Send us Fan MailSo what happened in Shield of Sparrows? Well, we will tell ya! We're not sure about you, but we know that when we love a book… like five star love… infinity star obsession-level love… we forget absolutely everything that happened. It's a black out phenomenon that cannot be explained. Which is exactly what we both experienced last year when we read Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry for the first time. Go check out our live Besties & the Book Club playback (linked below) and our ongoing Fable chats for even more SOS content!So here we are almost a year later after a full reread, and this time we're prepared! Because we want to help all of you recap this amazing book in preparation for our deep dive into the second installment (out now!) Rites of the Starling, which drops in just one week! And eventually we'll need to look back when book three comes out next year… boy are these NOT the books to go into without thorough recaps!Today we'll give our spoiler free star and spice ratings and then get into a full spoiler-y recap, notable characters, creatures, places, lore, and Easter eggs so you have an easy go-to guide to prepare. Then of course we dive into tropes, characters, reviews, the audiobook, and even fancasting! Because, why not? It's becoming a movie after all! We're bringing you all of this, plus a weekly fave and fail and a bear related smash or pass!Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is all spoiler free and fun vibes filled with unpopular opinions, hot takes, and even a bookish AITA! We're doing our first book influencer interview and collab episode with none other than bestie of the pod: Kat over @littleblondebooks! We're sure that you know her from her excellent book recommendations, impeccable taste in music, and her vegan advocacy over @littleblondevegan! Grab an Alani and join the party!Today she's here to talk a little bit about herself, the book community she's built, and her favorite books and authors, but we think the best way to get to know someone is just by inviting them to a hang and chill sesh, so that's what we did. And guys… turns out Kat has now been hired as our third cohost because we couldn't stop the yapping! (We joke… but honestly, if we did want a third cohost (or to start a band), Kat, you'd be her.

Send us Fan MailRemember two years ago (almost to the day!) when this new dragon book came onto the Romantasy scene called When The Moon Hatched, we voted for it as a Besties & the Book Club read (going in completely blind), and it took us all by storm?! Well, we do! We're here today to officially deep dive When the Moon Hatched by the amazing Sarah A. Parker to finally do one of our favorite dragon books of all time justice. Hey… it might even be our most favorite dragon book to date. Just sayin'… The world building is insane, the magic system complex, the writing immaculate, and the CHARACTERS?! Don't even get us started on Raeve and Kaan… they are unmatched.However, we understand that this isn't necessarily a book that everyone can digest easily. This was a reread for both of us and as we took notes, looked over the index, and mapped this episode out for you it became increasingly clear exactly how much vital info. we missed the first time. So today is all about recapping, talking our faves and fails dragon edition, sharing lore, speculations, and Easter eggs with you in preparation of the release of book two in the Moonfall Series: The Ballad of Falling Dragons out on May 19th!If you've already read it and you need a refresher, we hope this helps! If you're new to Moonfall and you want our spoiler free reviews at the top of the episode, we've got you! And don't forget to jump into our free Fable book club chat for When the Moon Hatched (book two coming soon!) if you need to debrief and check out our initial reactions to book one at the beginning of episode 11!

Send us Fan MailOur 2026 Classics Series is coming to a close with today's very special episode covering not only the 1868 novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, but also the 1994 and 2019 film adaptations. We deep dive, rate and review, and rank them all. Was the book our favorite this time around? Or did Christian Bale's hair or Greta Gerwig's feminist-leaning script steal our hearts?  This episode is our response to the many things that so many female authors across centuries have been using literature to say. Women's lives are important when examining the simple mundanity of their day to day experiences, as well as their extraordinary contributions and achievements. Not just because we are people, but because to exist in society as a woman is to understand that our personal lives are never separate from politics, religion, gender constructs, economics and all the other systemic influences that determine one's position. All three iterations of this amazing story hold such important lessons and criticisms, not unlike the other two novels we previously covered: Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We hope that you enjoyed our reading guides as well as our deep dive coverage into these classic novels because we plan to cover more next year!ANNNND… Stick around till' the end for some fun Little Women lore and our very first announcement of what HIGHLY REQUESTED and POPULAR dystopian science fiction series we'll be covering this summer, beginning in July!

Send us Fan MailWell, we've laughed, we've cried; we've gasped and screamed and waited with breath that was bated… and now here we are, at book six: Goldfinch, the final installment and official conclusion to the Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy. What an incredible journey this has been. So today, to commemorate the ending of our coverage, we're bringing you our final deep dive AND our official book ranking, our rating of the series as a whole, our thoughts on the ending, and our premonitions for the future! We discuss our favorite and least favorite parts, characters, and tropes, but also get into deeper themes, feminist and societal issues addressed, and why this Romantasy series is particularly important (and one of our favorites of all time). We also talk audiobook deets, Goodreads reviews, and potential openings for a spin off series. And… we introduce a new tool in the Besties workshop: the Cryometer™.Yes, it's a gauge designed to track and quantify how many tears Raven Kennedy collected from us during this 706 page rip-your-heart out finale. Tune in for all that, our recent Disney trip fave and fails and a smash or pass, rapid fire Plated Prisoner edition.Don't be shy, subscribe!

This episode on Lose the Plot, Carla and Emily are officially spiraling over A Court of Mist and Fury - the book that took Spring Court depression and turned it into Night Court obsession. We're breaking down the ultimate Romantasy glow-up that saw Feyre trade a toxic floral nightmare for a High Lord with serious wingspan energy.We're talking the slow burn to end all slow burns, the found family we'd actually join a war for, and the exact moment Tamlin became the official villain of our group chat. There's training montage tension, tropes for days, and enough "Hello, Feyre Darling" energy to make us collectively lose our minds. Plus, we try to address the cultural reset that is Chapter 55.Whether you're a Rhysand loyalist or just here for the spicy romantasy banter, grab your soup and settle in - it's time to visit the City of Starlight.

Send us Fan MailCrow fam… we need to talk. We read our very first Jane Austen novel ever: Pride & Prejudice, and we may have some unpopular opinions. Will the fandom (and possibly you, our dear listeners) be upset with us? I guess you'll have to listen on to find out what us two gals had to say about this beloved classic, going in blind, with only ourselves and the crows to guide us. Just kidding! We also brought in a guide to help us through it. Sarah over @sarahsliteraryworld, our go to gal and “phone a friend” mini episode guest helped kick off book two in this classics series with our last bonus episode: “Pride & Prejudice for Dummies.” She goes over the basics like themes, characters, Jane Austen's life, which movie adaptations are best, and any tips and tricks to make a first time read that much easier. So go check that out if, just like us, you feel like you might be missing something. Or a lot of things. Today we rate the book, the 2005 movie adaptation, discuss which we liked better, and discuss if it's possible to respect an author and novel for its groundbreaking work and social commentary while also… possibly not loving it. We talk faves and least faves, tropes, themes, characters, and… what exactly was Jane Austen trying to say through this 1813 satire? And does it translate in 2026? We hope that you enjoy this bonus mini episode, and will join us for our future coverage of book 3 in the series: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.Don't be shy, subscribe!

Send us Fan MailToday we're taking a deep dive right into book five in The Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy: Gold. This is the book in the series where the tone completely changes, our main characters are forced to evolve individually,while “side” characters get their legs, and breaking generational curses, healing trauma, and revolution are at the forefront. It's the setup for the epic conclusion, and definitely reads as a “part one…” so how do we feel about that? We give you our spoiler free star and spice ratings and faves and fails, then dive into the five sentence summary (multi POV style), the tea on the audiobook and all our unfiltered thoughts, and then discuss themes, quotes, and why this book might be more difficult for some but is absolutely necessary to build character arcs, and pivotal overall to the series. Did we find Easter eggs?

SJM on Call Her Daddy: New ACOTAR Release Dates, Maasverse Hints, and Our Unfiltered Hot TakesIn this episode of The Plot With A Twist, we break down Sarah J. Maas's interview on the ‪@callherdaddy‬ podcast, reacting to major revelations and sharing our opinions on SJM's openness, marketing strategy, and writing process. We discuss her comments on mental health and how it connects to themes and characters like Nesta, debate sexism and the “smut” label in fantasy romance, and unpack double standards in how characters like Rhysand and Tamlin are judged. They also explore SJM's thoughts on storytelling structure, adaptation prospects now that she has her rights back, and rapid-fire hints including Maasverse crossover teases. We also cover confirmed upcoming ACOTAR releases (Oct 27 and Jan 12 2026) and end with a themed cocktail recipe, “A Court of Spirits and Fae.”00:00 Welcome to Plot with a Twist00:29 SJM on Call Her Daddy02:07 First Impressions and Side Quests04:26 Channelling and Writing Process07:26 Marketing Genius and Release Hints09:07 Which Book Is Next13:22 Adaptation Rights and TV Hopes18:09 Mental Health and Nesta Parallels26:00 Women in Fantasy and Smut Stigma37:40 Rethinking Series Storytelling43:22 Rhys vs Tamlin Double Standards47:15 Tamlin Defense Case49:46 Trauma And Control52:03 Rhysand Double Standards53:31 Redemption Arc Debate55:58 Nesta Tells The Truth58:36 Elain Rejects The Bond01:03:54 Mor's Power Is Truth01:05:17 Next Books Predictions01:13:55 Rapid Fire Clues01:23:56 Final Wrap And Cocktail

As we go over our bookish goals of 2025, we realize that we were able to cross SO MANY off the list because of you, like interviewing dream authors, reaching 1k on YouTube, and doing four bonus series!

We're bringing you something (someone?) new and exciting to go along with our deep dive series for the Plated Prisoner books by Raven Kenneny, going on now! We're chatting with none other than the man behind our favorite voices…including THE Slade Ravinger… Anthony Palmini! Yes, you heard that right: he's the voice of some of our most treasured MMC's like Kingfisher from the Fae and Alchemy series by Callie Hart and Rhysand in the dramatized adaptation of A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J Maas… and we want to know… how did he get here? He has a corner on the Romantasy shadow daddy market, and we need to know what that's like? No pressure at all! And maybe if we're extra lucky he might just show off his talents a little and answer some listener submitted questions! Anthony has over 10 years in the professional voice acting field, doing everything from voice overs for commercials, to audiobooks, to composing music for independent films. He does video editing and directing, writing for online production companies, video editing for brand names and television studios, and has even been part of a comedy troupe. We think it's safe to say that he knows his stuff, and that's the reason why he has become such a vital and beloved member of the book community.

Hi book besties!!

mirror characters — like Tamlin and Rhysand from Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses — reveal the most intimate truths about how we love, justify, forgive, and evolve.A heartfelt thank-you to @katrynn for the innovative and emotionally charged question sent via Cameo — which inspired this entire exploration of how we experience fictional love as a mirrorThrough the lens of emotional psychology, myth, and narrative healing, this episode unpacks: Why we romanticize the complicated “book boyfriend”. How love becomes control and when control becomes violence. The difference between soul-led love and ego-driven protection. Why Rhysand is forgiven for what Tamlin is condemned for. How fictional characters reflect the shadow sides of real relationships.A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.

Anna and Kim unpack the final arc of A Court of Thorns and Roses, focusing on Feyre's physical and emotional unraveling Under the Mountain. They break down the long-awaited moment between Feyre and Tamlin—one that feels passionate at first glance but ultimately lacks emotional depth or support. In stark contrast, Rhysand's morally gray but consistent actions—his intervention during trials, their first kiss, and quiet moments of care—signal a growing bond and emotional presence that Tamlin never offers. The episode also covers Feyre's final, devastating trial, her death and rebirth as High Fae, and Rhysand's unforgettable goodbye. It's a powerful lead-in to ACOMAF, setting the stage for Feyre's reckoning with trauma, identity, and what it truly means to be seen.

The discussion highlights Feyre's resilience, the strategic brilliance she shows in surviving the Middengard Worm, and the evolving tension—and unexpected support—between her and Rhysand, especially during her lowest moments.
