Summary
another week... another cosy catch up ❤️ we chat about a slightly unhinged recording day (including no sleep, work stress, and last-minute schedule changes), before slipping into a long, rambling bookish conversation. leo shares her experience reading Project Hail Mary, her first ever sci-fi (apparently lolsie) and why it completely surprised her, while cara gives a reading update on I Who Have Never Known Men and her thoughts so far. we also dive into the kinds of books we’re drawn to (high-stakes vs cosy, emotional vs dark), discuss A Little Life (trigger warning) and its impact, and swap a bunch of recommendations.. from Madonna in a Fur Coat and Of Mice and Men to newer releases like Into the Blue . plus, we chat about upcoming reading plans, TBR struggles, and leo’s ambitious goal to read during a very intense work trip. 💌 to stay up to date on our lives, contribute to future episodes and share any of your thoughts - pls do follow us on instagram , tiktok or subscribe to us on youtube here ! ☕ also, if you want to join our BOOK CLUB... you can join us here - (join whilst before we pick our April read!! ). if you don't have any social media and want to chat (or for advertising opportunities), please email us at: [email protected]
