Bestie Book Swap & Precious Little Robots
In this week’s episode, Amanda and Kat are back with another Bestie Book Swap! We each read a book picked by the other—and, as usual, we’ve got thoughts.
Kat reviews The Year of Less by Cait Flanders, a memoir (sort of) about minimalism, consumption, and self-discovery. Spoiler alert: someone’s feeling a little misled by the marketing.
Amanda shares her love for A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers and her introduction to the cozy, hopeful world of solarpunk. We talk mental health, comfort reads, and why this book truly feels like a hug in literary form.
Plus:
- Why "precious" is the perfect word for this book (and Amanda never uses that word)
- The robot character that stole our hearts
- A mini deep-dive into the Enemies to Lovers and Mentor tropes
- Mentions of Yoda, Dumbledore, and yes, even Draco/Harry fanfiction
It’s a fun one full of bookish rambling, gentle chaos, and cozy vibes. Come hang out with us!
