    3.12. Welcome to Our Alchemised Support Group
    Dec 5 2025

    Welcome to our Alchemised Support Group... snacks are in the back, tissues up front, emotional stability not included. This week, we're diving into Alchemised by SenLinYu, (with spoilers!) a book so dark, dense, and devastating that we needed to schedule a full-blown debrief the second we finished it.

    We’re talking necromancy, cult energy, war-torn worldbuilding, morally gray men (hello, Kaine), Helena’s emotional endurance, and all the moments that left us pacing, gasping, or Googling “Is my heart supposed to hurt like this?”

    If you’ve read Alchemised, you’re in the right place.If you haven’t read it yet… welcome to the pre-trauma orientation.

    Grab a drink, settle in, and let's unpack the chaos together.🖤✨

    3.11. The Return of the Unhinged Book Gremlins
    Nov 16 2025
    Dust off your library cards, top up your mug, and settle in, because your favorite chaotic bookish sisters are officially out of hiatus and back behind the mics. And honestly? We’ve missed this. We’ve missed you. We’ve missed dramatically gasping at plot twists no one can see coming and going on tangents absolutely no one asked for.📚 Life Lately (AKA Our Mid-Season Plot Twist)If our podcast were a book, this would’ve been the dramatic “unexpected detour” chapter.Rebecca’s Side of the Story:Since July, life has been a bit like one long, chaotic montage. There was a major job shift (in true fantasy fashion, she now works remotely for half the year), a return to living with Mom and Dad (which honestly comes with some perks… like strep throat cuddle care and having your car cleared off without even asking). It’s been one of those seasons where everything changes at once, but somehow the dust settles and you realize you’re still standing.Stacey’s Side of the Story:Meanwhile, absolutely nothing changed… except the mounting books read, near-burnout energy, and the ongoing commitment to living that fully chaotic goblin-core lifestyle. No major life updates, no dramatic changes, just vibes, TBRs, and raw-dogging adulthood with the determination of someone trying to carry all their groceries in one trip.But the biggest highlight?Our Cover to Cover Book Retreat!And ohhhhh baby, was it a weekend.Nine readers, one fancy house, a snack table that would make even the Inner Circle weep, and a Starfall Ball that left us sparkling (literally… we’re still finding glitter).We played bookish charades, Family Feud, sipped themed drinks, and cozied up for warm-and-quiet reading sessions that somehow worked despite nine chatty bookworms.It was magical. It was iconic. It was everything a reader’s soul needs.Release Radar: What We’re Eyeing This MonthNovember came in HOT and our TBRs may never recover. Here’s what caught our eye this month (and by “caught our eye,” we mean snatched it, kissed it, and added it immediately to Goodreads).* ❤️ Daddy Issues by Kate GoldbeckRom-com vibes / forced proximity / 352 pages / Nov 18This one grabbed our attention immediately thanks to its comic-style cover and early-2000s rom-com energy. It follows Sam, who’s trying desperately to escape Ohio and her mid-twenties limbo, and Nick, the surprisingly dependable single dad next door. Their worlds collide through thin walls, shared frustrations, and the slow discovery that maybe the stable, grounded man you never saw coming might be exactly the one you need.* 🌿 Violet Thistleweight Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily KrempholtzCozy fantasy / sentient houseplants / 368 pages / Nov 18This one is for the cottagecore girlies who love a reformed-villain arc. Violet is determined to leave her villainous past behind, open a flower shop, and grow into the soft, kind person she wants to be. Cue a prickly, handsome alchemist sharing her greenhouse, a magical blight threatening the community, and a sentient houseplant with murderous tendencies.* 📚 The Burning Library by Gilly MacmillanDark academia mystery / Scotland / 304 pages / Nov 18Set in Scotland’s rugged Western Hebrides, this story intertwines a mysterious death, a long-running rivalry between secret women’s organizations, and an ancient manuscript with dangerous implications. It has all the hallmarks of atmospheric dark academia — secrets, symbolism, scholarly tension — but set against a windswept coastal backdrop that gives it a fresh, haunting edge.* 🖤 Blackthorn by J.T. GeissingerDark romance / gothic fantasy / 368 pages / Out nowIf you love beautifully tortured romance with gothic undertones, this is your moment. Maven returns to her hometown after years away, only to confront past trauma, a missing body, and the boy she once loved… who also happens to be her greatest danger. This one promises forbidden longing, family secrets, generational curses, and that deliciously unhinged intensity Geissinger is known for.* 🌲 Hollow by Caroline Peckham & Susanne ValentiDark romantasy / 560 pages / Nov 18 This is a thicker one, and we mean that lovingly. If you’re craving forest curses, fae princes, deadly competitions, and a heroine who enters the woods knowing she may not come out, this is your next obsession. The writing promises high tension, morally gray characters, trickery, and an ending that leaves you kicking your feet.* 🔎 The Fix by Mia SheridanMystery thriller romance / 379 pages / Out nowA chilling, emotional thriller about a woman whose past trauma resurfaces in the worst possible way — along with a cryptic warning, a missing child, and an old classmate who becomes an unexpected ally. Sheridan always writes with layered emotional depth, and this one blends suspense with second-chance tension in a way that promises to grip you start to finish.* 🔪 Haven’t Killed in Years by Amy K. GreenThriller / serial-killer ...

    3.10. Sisters Don’t Let Sisters Join Cults
    Aug 1 2025
    Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca—your favorite sister duo back with our July wrap-up episode! This month, something wild happened: Rebecca outread Stacey. (No, really. The world tilted. A prophecy was fulfilled. We have the Goodreads receipts.) 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)* 🖤 Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas – 5 stars. “John Wick but make her an assassin with sarcasm and daggers.” Obsessed. The Throne of Glass series continues to wreck lives and we love that for us.* 🖤 Every Summer After by Carley Fortune – also 5 stars. The nostalgia? Immaculate. The lake house summers? Dreamy. The emotional fallout? Gut-wrenching. It’s the reason Stacey’s in a slump now—nothing can compare.* 🖤 Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry – our featured read!Rebecca’s Stack (4 Books)* 🩷 With Any Luck by Ashley Poston – 4 stars. A Valentine’s Day novella with magical realism, missing grooms, rekindled hookups, and a lovable best man. Tiny book, big charm.* 🩷 Beach Read by Emily Henry – 5 stars. Augustus + January = banter-fueled brilliance. A rom-com that also tackles grief and writer’s block. Romance, but make it layered.* 🩷 The Ex-Wives Club by Sally Hepworth – 3 stars. A short mystery with a Dark Places-adjacent dual timeline vibe. Celebrity chef found in the freezer. Sass, ex-wives, and a little The Other Woman energy.* 🩷 Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry – More on that below 👀July Featured Read ✨ 5 stars from both sisters 💫Every July, we feature an Emily Henry novel—and this year we got hit with a curveball. This isn’t your typical rom-com Henry. It’s less “kissing in beach houses” and more “dual biographies, generational trauma, and the truth-vs-story tightrope.” We loved it. Hard.Set the Scene:Alice is a hopeful, heart-forward writer with a people-person superpower. Hayden is a Pulitzer-winning literary thundercloud. They’re both vying to write the biography of Margaret Ives—a scandal-shrouded heiress who’s finally ready to tell her story. But Margaret isn’t making it easy. Both writers get different pieces of the puzzle, wrapped in ironclad NDAs, and they can’t share notes. Oh, and there’s some serious slow-burn yearning happening across their respective notebooks.Why We Loved It:💬 Banter.💔 Grief and complicated family dynamics.👯‍♀️ Sibling drama, cults, and a huge twist we didn’t see coming.💞 Romance that simmers in the background but isn’t the point.📖 Quotes that had us screaming into the void:“I think you live in a world that's more interesting than the one most people live in... I wish I could live in it too.”“It’s yours,” he offers. “You can have mine.” [World. Heart. Whole damn cosmos.]We unpacked it all in the episode—from Alice’s complicated relationship with her mom, to Margaret’s tragic backstory, to how we'd react if one of us joined a cult. (Spoiler: The other would immediately fly in and drag us out by the ear.)Final Verdict:If you’re in a romance slump, if you love a layered narrative with dual timelines and unreliable narrators, or if you’ve ever loved someone so much it cracked you open a little—read this. Then come scream about it with us.That’s a wrap on July!Whether you read five books or fought your way through a slump like Stacey (we see you 💕), thanks for being here. We’ll be back in two weeks with more chaos, new releases, and a fresh stack of TBR hopefuls.Make sure to:🩷 Leave us a comment on Spotify🩷 Follow us on Instagram @mysisterstbr🩷 Read along with our next featured pick (TBA 👀)Toodles! ✌️ Get full access to My Sister's TBR at www.mysisterstbr.com/subscribe
