    140: “Atomosphere”: Out of this world or failure to launch?
    Jul 14 2025
    We love a good Taylor Jenkins Reid story. The newest, "Atmosphere", has been creating a lot of buzz thanks to the anticipation of her fan base. A NASA woman astronaut love story? The hype writes itself. But did it live up to what everyone expected?

    Jul 7 2025
    "Silver Elite" has been causing quite the stir in the online book community. Who is Dani Francis?? Is this book AI?? Is it political propaganda?? Or is it just a good "adult dystopian" read?

    138: Savoring Summer with "Tom Lake"
    Jun 30 2025
    Ann Patchett wrote an excellent summer read in "Tom Lake." It's set on a lake and a cherry farm in Michigan in the summer. But it has some very deep topics included - like time spent together during a pandemic. Is this the pandemic lit we've been looking for?

    137: YA Romance to Cult Classic Meme: Tackling "Twilight"
    Jun 23 2025
    Yes. We are serious. Today we are talking about "Twilight." Two of us read it as kids, but one of us is joining the craze a little late. So what merit do stories have when they become a seamless part of pop culture?

    135: Is "Big Swiss" a Big Miss?
    Jun 9 2025
    There's no good way to describe "Big Swiss" succinctly. It's a bizarre adventure in trauma recovery with an unpredictable main character and a torrid affair. Is the absurdity of the story worth the time?

    134: Chinese Myth in "Daughter of the Moon Goddess"
    Jun 3 2025
    The Busy Girls Book Club loves a good retelling/reimagining of a classic myth. Daughter of the Moon Goddess is based in a Chinese myth about the woman on the moon, but the novel gives it a big spin. It's an epic adventure tale, but very wholesome. But is it worth 500 pages?
