We’re officially halfway through 2024—so it’s time for a mid-year reading check-in! In this episode, Nicole (aka my mom and book BFF) and I are recapping the books that have taken over our lives in the best ways... and a few that didn’t quite hit the mark.

We cover:
📚 Our current favorite reads of the year
😬 A few DNF-worthy disappointments
😱 The books that surprised us in the best way
📖 What we’re reading right now
👀 What’s at the top of our summer TBR

From urban fantasy (Neverwhere forever) to twisty thrillers, cozy magic, and deeply emotional literary fiction—we’re talking about the full spectrum of stories that have kept us turning pages in 2024. If you’re a mood reader or just looking for that next guaranteed 5-star pick, you’ll love this episode.
