They way you and Kayla (booksandlala) need to do a tbr swap is baffling. Like y'alls taste in weird lit fiction type books is identical. I LOVE it!

When I see Kayla and Riley both give something 5 stars it’s an instant add to cart. Don’t even have to go through the library bc I already know it’s a keeper

I'm cackling at "chick porn" and "crazy bitches". Sounds like the perfect book LOL. The way you describe The Book of the most precious substance being like Bunny is a really good way to pin down the vibe... will definitely check it out! I love your more inventive reading vlogs, they are always so fun and interesting!!

this is exactly why i love unhauls and rant reviews, because people get more creative or have more fun when they're describing minute things they didn't like, and if those topics or tropes etc don't bother me - or if i even like them - it gets me excited to read the book theyre dunking on lol

i already had the book of the most precious substances on my tbr but now i really reaaaaally want to read the dead romantics!!! I'm so in the mood for a cute romance and i think ghost romance is a new discovered type of book i really enjoy. idk if it makes sense but i was also thinking about under the whispering door when you were talking about the longing for touch between the characters and the grief element!

I’ll admit I side eyed the book when I read The Family Game and got to the FIL part, but only because as a romance reader I thought we might be getting a little something, which seemed unlikely. Also that review of The Book of Most Precious Substance has me intrigued (and the shelves are hilarious) 😂

That person who didn’t finish the family game should’ve kept going. Yes there was a page or so of her talking about her father in law but to me it was important to the story but also had nothing to do with the story 😂 that makes no sense but it’s just too bad that person stopped because of that. Also omg yes why wouldn’t you listen to the whole fricken tape all at once?! That was so frustrating. **Spoiler! *And am I the only one who didn’t think that what she did in her past was that bad? I mean I know she unalived someone but like hello trauma?! 😂 I read it and I was like oh that’s it?
