Stacey hit a bit of a reading slump while Rebecca spiraled into a whirlwind of short stories, romance novels, and a five-star reading high that knocked her into next month.In this episode, we're recapping all the reads from July: the sweet, the swoony, the mysterious, and the murdery (yep). We're also diving deep into our featured read, Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry, which had us unpacking grief, gossip, secret NDAs, and sisters (both fictional and very real—hi!). Let's get into it:What We Read in July:Stacey's Stack (3 Books)*
Send us a textIn today's episode, I am chatting with Jacqui Lents. Jacqui was born and raised in her beloved Michigan, where her life has meandered more like a lazy river than a high-speed expressway. Before settling into her career as a high school social studies etacher, she dabbled in at least fifteen different jobs—some more unusual than others. When she is not revinventing herself, Jacqui can be found throwing axes (responsibly), attempting to conquer her TBR pile, swimming in her loch, or hanging out with her husband of over twenty years, who has yet to flee despite her ever-evolving hobbies. Jacqui is the host of the award-winning podcast, Jacqui Just Chatters and we are here to tday to talk about her debut novel, The Daphne Project.This is Jacqui's first appearance on Bookish Flights as a published author (yay!), and we dive deep into the themes that inspired her book. We talk about what it means to become "vintage," embracing imperfections, personal growth, and the hard but transformative process of rediscovering your identity.Episode Highlights:Jacqui's journey from educator to author.What inspired The Daphne Project.The beauty (and humor) in becoming “vintage.”Reinvention and identity in midlife.Why real stories about real people matter.How teaching shaped her writing voice.

This week I'm taking a deep look at the brand new romantasy Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. This is a rich, emotionally layered fantasy looking at a blend of light-hearted and deep topics, including duty and survival as well as the quiet rebellion of a heroine who's been overlooked all her life. With a backdrop of dangerous creatures, political tension, and a marriage forged through ancient magic, this one offers slow-burn dynamics, fierce training scenes, and a world where power is rarely what it seems. As with every single episode, while I take a look at the views of others (to keep things just a little bit more balanced), ultimately, the views are mine. I'm going to be talking through the world-building, the pacing, character dynamics, and whether the romantic tension kept me turning pages, or just turning up my eyebrows. As always, everything remains completely spoiler-free and is 100% honest, because what's the point if it's not? If you're into brooding protectors, blood-bound rituals, and heroines who earn their power step by step, this might be one for your TBR.And don't forget to stay tuned for the second, shorter review. I'll be sharing my thoughts on For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn. Let's just say... I had feelings. So, pop the kettle on, get comfy, and let's talk books.
