This week on Can I Bring My Book, Kat and Amanda get real about the chaos of their TBRs, the bookish habits they’re slightly ashamed to admit, and the hot takes that might get them banned from the bookish internet. From using dust jackets as bookmarks (we’re sorry) to confessing our dependence on airplane mode for Kindle hoarding, we’re laying it all out.
Plus, we dive into a very specific (and very forbidden) trope: the off-limits crush. You know the one—your brother’s best friend, your professor, your ex’s dad. And of course, we couldn’t wrap things up without one of our favorite games: Build-A-Book with tropes, microtropes, and book boyfriends based on our birthdays and phone battery percentages. (Turns out, we’re both into mafia dons this week. Who knew?)
