THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK
Lexi and Candice finish Heated Rivalry. Overall we enjoyed the second half more than the first but there were some questionable events - should you race your partner to climax the fastest? Is saying peeper cringe? And did you like the boys staying in the closet at the end?
Thank you for joining! Next week we go back to our academia series with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK
In the penultimate episode the sisters have different takes on what happened - Chrissy thinks it was not a lot of action, meanwhile Candice believes this section was a cringeworthy as The Office iconic Dinner Party episode.
The gang is starting to unravel - Henry fulfilling his destiny as cult-overlord, Charles falling into alcoholism, Francis developing anxiety, and Camilla becoming Henry's right hand (wo)man

In Part 2 of The Secret History the sisters forgot to record their best episode yet, and you’ll have to take our word for it. Even with the dry-run, this re-discussion took 90 minutes to get through. Candice has cooked up an evil cult theory that hinges on what is NOT in the book. Chrissy concludes Bun will be cooked by the start of the next chapter.

The sisters start their journey to Hampden College in Vermont. As the title and book cover would suggest, the story starts off a little slow. However, Candice has cooked up a theory that 1) everyone is gay and 2) the students are in a cult. Chrissy has cooked up an alternative theory that Bunny will be dead by Chapter 4 and Henry is not a demon but an upstanding young man.
Tune in next time as the Secret History heats up and more theories ensue!

**THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK**
RF Kuang took a page out of Brandon Sanderson's book and decided everything will happen in the final 10% of Robin's story. The sisters are deeply disappointed by Letty, who they thought was similar to Hermione but turned out to be Lord Voldemort.
Overall we enjoyed the first 3/4 of the read but the ending fell a little flat for us. We appreciated the lessons learned along the way but feel bummed out there was no hope for the Letty's.
Thanks for joining the club! We will see you next week for a special episode and then we will go back to Dark Academia with The Secret History

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK
Life is humming along at Oxford. The group of 4 study and pass finals and Robin is officially OUT of Hermes.
Letty convinces the crew to go to the once in a life-time University College Ball, even though the rest of the cohort are certain they will be treated like waitstaff and experience nonstop microaggressions. Letty says, no way! We are all Babel students in polite society. No one will treat you badly. Jokes on everyone as the ball turns out just as bad as the crew thought it would.
Lovell finds out about Robin's interaction with Hermes. Instead of getting kicked out of Babel, Lovell tries the nice-guy tactic. This is about as effective as an alligator trying to smile at you. Robin almost falls for it but then ends up doing something that will change the trajectory of his story.

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK
Robin starts his subterfuge as a Hermes associate. During the day he is mild manner student, at night he is helping Griffin steal school supplies from the Babel Tower. Why? We aren't sure and Griffin won't say.
As the semesters tick by, we watch the group of 4 go through the waves of cohort friendship - honeymoon bliss where everything is new, jealousy as members of the cohort try things on their own and frustrations as finals come by.

The sisters journey back-in-time to a not so different past of 1800's England. This listener recommended book is complex, deep, and full of important discussion topics!
Disclaimer, we are self-identified Letty's and do our best to navigate important topics on racism, classism, and colonialism. We aren't experts but these are our thoughts and we are open to hear your thoughts as well.
Thanks to our listener Ananathnid who recommended this thought-provoking read!

Hi bookalicious girlies!
We get off to a slow start with our Babel recap, which is fitting as this is a meandering novel, as we only cover our Author recap + a 15 minute detour into my (Candice's) Lasik eye surgery story. You may say, wow we wanted a recap of the book not your medical mysteries.
To that I say, you're welcome. You will need the extra time to read and work through the episodes. Each one is a 90 min - 2 hour bonanza.
See you NEXT week when we break down Part 1 of Babel (Chapters 1 - 6)

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK!
The sisters have once again been outfoxed by Freida McFadden.
How did the not guess that Daisy was only spiritually dead to Tom & not physically dead and has been masquerading as Gretchen? How were they dumb enough to think that there are two weirdo men in this book obsessed with bugs that were unrelated?
The sisters break down all the plot points and add a new metric to their scoring book for thrillers - was this solvable? The verdict? No. What say you?
Thank you for joining the club & buckle up girly pops, our next read is anything but fast fashion fiction as we break down RF Kuang's best selling novel; Babel

In Part 2 of The Boyfriend, the closeted Allison/Miranda of our Sex & the City gang is killed. Why? Because Tom stabbed his deadbeat dad and Allison saw Tom & Slug rolling the dead deadbeat dad’s body into their sedan.
Slug rises the ranks as the most likely serial killer as he knew right away how to clean up a dead body, how many garbage bags were needed to line the trunk, and had a great spot to dump the body.
The sisters play a game of Red Flag or Deal Breaker for Sydney’s first date with Mystery Doctor Man. Their final verdict? DEAL BREAKER. Sydney’s final verdict? GREEN FLAG I NEED A HUSBAND.

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK
The sisters journey back to the voice-to-text queen of thrillers, Freida McFadden (said with the utmost respect)
The book oscillates between some time in the past that feels like the 50s and present day.
The past section follows four teenage students - Daisy, Tom, Allison, & Slug. It is clear Tom is a psychopath in training who is only outweirded by his brofriend Slug. Per the text, Tom wants to be Daisy's boyfriend <3 Per the subtext, Allison also wants to be Daisy's girlfriend <3
The present day section follows three girlfriends, Sex and the City Style - Bonnie (Sex positive Sammantha), Gretchen (tradwife Charlotte), and Sydney (our self-absorbed Carrie Bradshaw). You may ask WHERE'S Miranda? She is stuck in the past as the closeted Allison.
Unfortunately for our story, the story quickly turns Death and the City as our Bonnie/Sammantha gets cut to ribbons in her NY apartment.

Before the sisters can close the book on The Silent Patient, they attempt to do a quick 15 minute chat on the morality of novel. As usual, this takes 40 minutes to cover
Aussie Correspondent asks the important question on Theo's character arc - Theo appeared to be a rehabilitated person from abuse. However, by the end of the book we find that he is unable to escape his past and becomes an abuser himself. Discussion? Are abused people destined to become abusers themselves.

The sisters wrap up the Silent Patient and give it a perfect 5 stars! The twist was twisty and most importantly a careful eye would have been able to solve the psycho the whole time was……*****!
The sisters wonder what drove Gabe to cheat on Alicia - did he feel trapped into a caretaker role he didn’t want? Was he after Alicia’s money? Or was he an insecure man who was jealous of Alicia’s artistic ability?
After Theo’s crazy is revealed, Chrissy is ready to throw him in the slammer while Candice still has hope for her psycho protagonist.
Stay-tuned because we have a special pick-up episode to discuss the morality of The Silent Patient from Aussie Correspondent - Emily!
