Ep 40: Looking Forward to Fall Reading

Riley Sager

Hi readers! You're in for a treat today. We are so excited to have Riley Sager on the podcast, national and international best-selling author of Final Girls, The Last Time I Lied, and his new release that came out in July 2019, Lock Every Door. We loved picking Riley's brain all about what makes a great plot-twisty horror/thriller, how he got the inspiration to write about The Bartholomew—the creepy, gothic setting for Lock Every Door—his favorite characters to write about, and so, so much more.  This is a spoiler-free episode, and we hope you enjoy it! After talking to Riley, we are definitely in the mood for some more page-turning thrillers.  Books mentioned:   Lock Every Door by Riley Sager Final Girls by Riley Sager The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay Bird Box by Josh Malerman Red Dragon by Thomas Harris   Follow Us Everywhere!

They discuss what they’re reading, the fact that their books have overlapped some this month, they wonder where all the time to read summer books has gone, and they guess each other’s favorite books that instagram made them read (or in Mollie’s case, what KATIE made her read…).    Books Mentioned The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo Lock Every Door by Riley Sager Castle of Water by Dane Hucklebridge The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger Beartown by Fredrik Bachman Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel The Great Alone by Kristen Hannah Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery Nevermoor and Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill Sweet Bitter by Stephanie Danler Wives and Daughters and North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell How to Walk Away and Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center   Follow Us Everywhere!

We’re talking all about buddy reads today! What makes a good buddy read, some of our favorite buddy reads, the difference between a book club and a buddy read, the benefits and the pitfalls of buddy reads, advice on how to find someone to buddy read with, and generally what makes them so great (and also challenging).

Episode 32: Our Favorite Spring Reads!

Looking at life through a bookish lens, internet-turned-IRL friends, Katie and Mollie, swap stories about the books they're currently loving and the life they're currently living. Grab a cup of tea (or a Moscow Mule) as we chat about the intersection of books, faith, family, friendship, personality, and culture.

I found this podcast because I used to follow Molly on Booktube and I loved her content. Sadly she doesn’t post anymore there but I know I can count on her here. 

She just gave birth (they both did) but I hope this podcast picks back up. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Here from Booktube

Good content - enjoy - yet the audio on guests is sometimes lower than hosts.

Episode 2: What's Your Number? Or, Let's Talk About the Enneagram

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie attempt to name their favorite books of all time. And they mostly accomplish it. But it’s hard when you’ve got favorites that span categories...should favorite children’s books be lumped in with favorite adult books? Should favorite fantasy be mixed in with favorite literary fiction? The struggle to pick favorite books is real, friends. The struggle is real. IT’S SO HARD.   Books Mentioned Always and Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han I Am I Am I Am by Maggie O’Farrell An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson Notes From a Small Island by Bill Bryson The Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson An American Childhood by Annie Dillard The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton The Book Thief by Markus Zusak  Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien Persuasion by Jane Austen Emma by Jane Austen A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel   People Mentioned Max @welldonebooks   Follow Us Everywhere!

Episode 18 - Favorite Books of ALL TIME

In today’s episode Mollie and Katie talk about book to movie adaptations - good ones, bad ones, and ones that are yet to be; ones that are (maybe, don’t stone them) better than the book, ones we like better than the critics, and ones that don’t live up to the book at all. They mention SO MANY, and the list is far from exhaustive. They also reveal some unpopular bookish opinions (again, don’t stone them).   Books/Movies Mentioned: The Warmth of Other Suns Virgil Wander My Sister the Serial Killer The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Daisy Jones and the Six The Nest Roald Dahl Matilda The Witches Charlie and the Chocolate Factory James and the Giant Peach Crazy Rich Asians Perks of Being a Wallflower Forrest Gump The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Game of Thrones Tuck Everlasting Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before In Her Shoes Bridget Jones’ Diary The Book Thief Wonder Eleanor Oliphant Where the Crawdad’s Sing The Great Alone Ghosted Peace Like a River Nevermoor The Night Circus Brain on Fire The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe The Princess Bride The Neverending Story Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice Sense and Sensibility Mansfield Park Anne of Green Gables/Anne with an E Big Little Lies Little Women   Other Mentions: SSR Podcast

Hi listeners! As I mentioned in the beginning of this episode, we wanted to apologize for the audio quality—we had some audio tech issues, but we wanted to try and save this episode because we LOVED talking with Karin so much! Though it’s a bit muffled, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We talk about Karin’s publishing journey, what it’s like to be an author, why YA is so important, and so much more! Plus, some fun stories about Katie and Karin as kids (Mollie wishes she had been friends with them back then *tears*).
