Bookish Hot Takes & Controversial Opinions

 

Get ready, book besties—we’re stirring the pot in this episode! Kat and Amanda dive into bookish hot takes, from whether reading a bad book is worse than watching a bad movie to the eternal debate of paperback vs. hardcover. We’re also chatting about series vs. standalones, dog-earing pages (monstrous or practical?), and whether smut is really just… well, you’ll have to listen to find out.

 

Plus, we’re introducing Trope Talk! This week, we discuss meet-cutes and found family—two of our favorites!

Tell us your bookish hot take in the comments or tag us on social!
