    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

He thinks she’s everything wrong with the world; she’s determined to prove she’s more than a headline. When the ranch’s future is threatened, the two strike a deal: she'll help save it, and he’ll teach her what it really means to come home.

    Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca, and we’re BACK from our little summer hiatus—tanned, caffeinated, and bookishly overachieving (well, we're trying at least). We hope your June was full of iced lattes, shady reading spots, and at least one swoony fictional man who ruined real-life dating forever.In this episode, we’re wrapping up all the reads from June: the hits, the flops, the age gap cowboys, and one very controversial YA tearjerker. Plus, we’re spilling some bookish tea with adaptation news and announcing our July featured read! Buckle up: it’s a long one.Bookish News!* People We Meet on Vacation is getting a movie adaptation starring Tom Blythe and Emily Bader (screaming!).* The Mindfck Series* by S.T. Abbey is getting a TV adaptation (!!!)* Tom Felton is BACK as Draco Malfoy in the Cursed Child Broadway production.* Elsie Silver's Rose Hill series and Lauren Roberts' Powerless are getting the screen treatment.* Aaaaand we’re about to live in a golden age of Emily Henry adaptations. Bring it on.What We Read in JuneStacey's Stack (9 Books!)* The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins – 5 stars across the board. Reading this as a 30-something hits way harder than it did at 16. Still obsessed with Peeta. Still ready to fight President Snow in the street.* Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins – Another 5 stars. Haymitch’s story broke our hearts and then broke them again. Best in the series? Possibly.* Death Row by Freida McFadden – 2 stars. Frida, babe, go to bed.* A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole – 3 stars. Religious trauma triggers, but beautifully written. Just... rough waters emotionally.* Better Luck Next Time by Cara Bastone – 3 stars. Time-traveling romance with emotional damage. Not her best, but still enjoyable.* Chasing the Wild by Elliot Rose – 3 stars. Age-gap cowboy romance. Spicy and dramatic, but the writing felt a bit green.* I Died on a Tuesday by Jane Corry – 2 stars. Too many POVs, too many timelines, too many headaches.* Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood – 4 stars. Age-gap summer fling in Sicily. Sweet, smart, and a little bit sizzling.Rebecca’s Stack (5 Books)* Death Row by Freida McFadden – 2 stars. "What the hell did I just read?" —Rebecca* The Exception to the Rule by Christina Lauren – 5 stars. Email banter romance PERFECTION.* The Worst Wingman Ever by Abby Jimenez – 5 stars. Anonymous Valentine’s Day notes. Grandma wisdom. Neti pot revenge.* Rosie and the Dreamboat by Sally Thorne – 5 stars. Float pod disaster turns firefighter flirtfest. We approve.* Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - we'll discuss this one soon ;)July Featured Read ✨ We're back on our Emily Henry bullsh*t.
