In this chapter of Chapters of Chaos, we put our reading habits and thoughts on trial — and nothing is safe.

From reader red flags to controversial book opinions, we’re judging tropes, formats, DNFs, and whether choosing a book solely because of the cover is a crime or the vibe.

We’re talking:

• Reader red flags and tropes

• Popular books that didn’t work for us

• Audiobooks, DNFs, and bad fonts

• What Chaos Book Club says about us as readers

It’s unfiltered, opinionated, and chaotic — with plenty of moments that might make you say, “Okay, but same.”

Come judge us… and then judge yourself. 📚⚖️

Remember, Chaos Loves Company.

🎄📚 Books, Cookies & Chaos: The Holiday Exchange 📚🎄

Welcome back to Chapters of Chaos, the official podcast of the Chaos Book Club—where the books are wild, the opinions are loud, and the chaos is always intentional.

This holiday special was recorded live from our annual book club party, Books, Cookies & Chaos. With piles of books on the table, an unreasonable amount of sugar in the room, and absolutely zero self-control, we dive into a white elephant–style book exchange that quickly turns dramatic, strategic, and delightfully chaotic.

We introduce every book brought to the exchange (spoiler-free!), reveal why each one was chosen, and then let the stealing begin. Expect dramatic gasps, mystery books, gorgeous sprayed edges, bold choices, and grudges that may or may not last until January.

To wrap things up, the Chaos Book Club answers rapid-fire holiday chaos questions, sharing favorite reads of the year, emotionally devastating books, dream gifts from Santa, and ultimate book recommendations.

📚 Books brought to the Holiday Exchange:

• The Poison Grove — Jill Johnson

• Nocticadia — Keri Lake

• The Never List — Jade Presley

• Bonded by Thorns — Elizabeth Helen

• For Whom the Belle Tolls — Jaysea Lynn

• The Serpent and the Wolf — Rebecca Robinson

• Twice — Mitch Albom

• The Wolf King — Lauren Palphreyman

• He Knows When You’re Awake — Alta Hensley

• The Ministry of Time — Kaliane Bradley
