Ep 40: Looking Forward to Fall Reading
No Thanks We're Booked
Hi friends! Today we’re talking about what books we’re looking forward to reading in the fall - specific titles as well as genres. We also contemplate what our reading lives will really look like with new babies in the picture. But before we get into all of that we discuss our cats, because who doesn’t love to hear some stories about Remus, Scout, Peaches, and Katie’s long-ago cat Bird (who was sweet but dumb).

Episode 38: Instagram Made Us Do It
No Thanks We're Booked
In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie lament the onslaught of heartburn because their stomachs now reside in their throats. 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…).

Episode 36: Crazy Similar Book Titles, Fun-Brow Books, and Transitions
No Thanks We're Booked
In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie catch up about travelling, what they’re reading (or NOT reading), similar book trends (how do you end up with three books with oddly similar titles), and the transitions that shape a life (and of course how we often find those real life transitions in the books we read).

Episode 35: All About Buddy Reads
No Thanks We're Booked
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 34: Current Reads, Next Reads, and Overwhelmed with the TBR
No Thanks We're Booked
In today's episode, we discuss what we're currently reading, what we hope to pick up soon (hint: When your TBR list is long, it's overwhelming to know what to pick up next), Anne Bogel's summer reading list, why it's so hard to commit to series, and much more!

Episode 33: Daisy Jones and Nostalgia
No Thanks We're Booked
It’s appropriate that this episode comes out the Wednesday after Mother’s Day because Mollie and Katie - both - have a relevant announcement! You’ll have to listen to find out what it is. They also both read Daisy Jones and the Six and talk about the nostalgia surrounding the book and go off on some semi-relevant tangents?

Episode 32: Our Favorite Spring Reads!
No Thanks We're Booked
We're sharing all of our favorite books to read in the spring—and because we're mood readers, it's quite an eclectic mix of genres/categories! Let us know what kind of books you like to read in the spring, or if you already have a set TBR.
info_outlineToday Mollie and Katie catch up a little bit about their busy summers before diving into talking about all things re-reads. We talk about all the reasons for re-reading and we mention a few of the books we’ve re-read ourselves. We even drop a Friends reference or two...because there’s a Friends reference for every situation in life. So says Katie, anyway.
