In this episode, we are joined by co-hosts of the @likewise_pod, Sam & Isa as we dive into their castaway book picks. One list leans into rom-coms, poetry, and music nostalgia—think heart, humour, and a love for words. The other goes big on fantasy, emotional twists, and intense character journeys. Even with their different tastes, both lists circle around themes like love, identity, creativity, and the messy, magical process of figuring yourself out. Whether it’s through epic battles or quiet moments, each book taps into what it means to grow, connect, and feel deeply. Join the Books to Last Podcast, where book lovers share their top 5 must-read books for a dream getaway. Inspired by BBC's Desert Island Discs, each episode features fun stories, book recommendations, and heartfelt conversations. Tune in for inspiring tales and discover your next great read!
