2.16. Books in Bloom
Welcome back to My Sister's TBR! Well, August has been a mad dash of all things book excitement, and we cannot wait to share this month's wrap-up with you. This episode jumps into our recent reads; a surprising new release; and to talk about It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover-the book and the movie adaptation.August Reads: A Mix of Emotions and GenresWe have read a total of ten books this month, and let me tell you, the range of emotions we experienced was intense! We kicked off with Me (Moth) by Amber McBride, a haunting yet beautiful YA novel in verse that left a lasting impact. The story, with its themes of mental health and identity, was so powerful that it easily became a contender for our top read of the year.On a different note, we dived into Lovely Bad Things by Trisha Wolfe, a dark romance thriller that gave us all the spooky vibes. Despite its eerie atmosphere, we found ourselves completely engrossed in the twisted narrative.Surprise Release: J.K. Rowling’s Hidden TreasureWe couldn’t resist sharing a bit of unexpected book news—J.K. Rowling quietly released two new books, The Wizarding Archive: Volumes 1 and 2. This collection of writings from the Harry Potter universe is packed with 80 articles and anecdotes, answering some of the most perplexing questions fans have had for years. If you’ve ever wondered about the little details in the wizarding world, this might be a treasure trove you don’t want to miss.Our Featured Read: It Ends With Us by Colleen HooverWe saved the best (and most emotionally charged) for last. Our deep dive into It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover brought up so many feelings. This was a re-read for both of us, and the story hit just as hard the second (or third) time around. While we love Colleen Hoover’s storytelling, we also acknowledge the importance of content warnings for readers. This book deals heavily with domestic violence, and it's crucial for readers to approach it with awareness.For those curious about the film adaptation, let’s just say we have opinions. But we’ll leave the movie talk for our podcast episode—stay tuned!Wrapping UpAugust was a wild ride of emotions, from heartwarming to heartbreaking reads, and we couldn’t be more excited to see what September brings. Whether you’re into dark romances, YA poetry, or diving back into the wizarding world, we hope our wrap-up inspires your next read.Until next time, happy reading!My Sister's TBR is a reader-supported publication.

2.09. We Solemnly Swear We're Up to Bookish Good
May Madness: Book Slumps, Screen Adaptations, & Our TBR ExplosionsHey bookworms! Welcome back to the My Sister's TBR. This month is a whirlwind of bookish excitement, from book-to-screen announcements to a teetering TBR pile that's threatening to topple over. So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's dive into the May madness!Stacey's Reading Rollercoaster 🎢I'll be honest, folks, I'm in a bit of a reading slump. My attention span is shorter than a TikTok video, and I'm jumping from book to book like a caffeine-fueled squirrel. Currently, I'm bouncing between "Ranger" by Dr. Rebecca Sharp (hot AF!), "Godkiller" by Hannah Kaner (fantasy vibes), "An Offer from a Gentleman" by Julia Quinn (Bridgerton anyone?), and of course, our featured read, "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks (pass the tissues). It's a chaotic mix, but hey, sometimes you just gotta embrace the literary chaos!Rebecca's Reading Rampage 🚀Unlike my scatterbrained sister, I'm having a fantastic reading month. I'm still riding the Freida McFadden wave (can't get enough of her twisty thrillers!), currently devouring "The Coworker" by McFadden, "Home is Where the Bodies Are" by Jeneva Rose (UnREAL), and "Devourer of Men" by Nikki St. Crowe (Our girl seriously surprised us with this one!). But honestly, if you haven't discovered McFadden yet, what are you waiting for?From Page to Screen 🎥May is a HUGE month for book-to-screen adaptations news, and we're geeking out! We discuss the upcoming "Fourth Wing" series (dragons!), Elle Kennedy's "Girl Abroad" (Bridgerton vibes!), and a few other juicy projects in the works. Trust us, you won't want to miss our full episode for the details and our opinions.May's TBR Temptations 🔥Our TBR piles are officially out of control. We're most excited for "I Hope This Finds You Well" by Natalie Sue, "My Darling Dreadful Thing" by Johanna Van Veen, "Lies and Weddings" by Kevin Kwan, "This Summer Will Be Different" by Carley Fortune, "Everything We Never Said" by Sloan Harlow, "When Among Crows" by Veronica Roth, "The Paradise Problem" by Christina Lauren, and "All My Love" by Morgan Elizabeth.My Sister's TBR is a reader-supported publication.

2.08. From Dukes to Daddies
From Dukes to Daddies: A Steamy April Wrap-Up with My Sister's TBRWelcome back, bookworms, to another episode recap from My Sister's TBR! This month, we ventured beyond our comfort zones and dove headfirst into some sci-fi and (our usual) seriously steamy reads. Buckle up because we're about to spill all the tea on the age gaps, aliens, and swoon-worthy moments that filled our April TBRs.Stacey Takes a Sci-Fi Detour:First up, we have resident romantasy lover Stacey surprisingly diving into the world of sci-fi. "All Systems Red" by Martha Wells, a novella about a grumpy murderbot with a heart of gold, piqued her interest. Let's just say, robots with existential angst aren't what we expected from Stacey, but it sounds like a fun and unexpected read!Balancing Spice with Sweetness:Next, Stacey took a sharp turn into the world of graphic novels with "Crave" by Marie Llovet. This one promises a blend of dark academia and forbidden desire – not exactly light bedtime reading! Balancing the heat, Stacey also dove into some swoon-worthy romances, "Not Another Love Song" by Julie Soto , "The Things We Leave Unfinished" by Rebecca Yarros, and “The Stand-in” by Lily Chu”. She also tackled the horror book club book “The Final Girl Support Group” by Grady Hendrix Sounds like a month full of emotional rollercoasters for Stacey!Rebecca Sticks to the Familiar:Meanwhile, your girl Rebecca stayed firmly rooted in the world of romance. "Girl Abroad" by Elle Kennedy, a classic enemies-to-lovers trope, delivered the witty banter and steamy encounters she craves. Then, there was "Older" by Jennifer Hartmann, which tackled the age-gap romance trope. We'll delve deeper into this one in a bit, but let's just say it delivered on the emotional connection and earned its positive reviews. And lets not forget the taboo “Your Dad Will Do” by Katee Robert! This one had us seriously questioning our morals.The Duke Takes Center Stage:Now, the moment you've all been waiting for – our Featured Read of the Month, "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn! This Bridgerton phenomenon had us swooning, giggling, and maybe even a little frustrated (looking at you, Daphne!). We dissect the comparisons to the Netflix show, what worked for us, and what fell a little flat.Spoiler Alert: We loved the banter between Daphne and Simon (seriously, some top-notch dialogue!), and the slow-burn romance had us cheering for their happily ever after. However, some plot points felt a bit rushed, and certain aspects haven't aged as gracefully as we'd hoped. Overall, it's a fun read that perfectly captures the essence of a Regency romance, but don't expect a flawless masterpiece.Looking Ahead: Dear John by Nicholas Sparks:Prepare the tissues, folks! Our next Featured Read will be the ever-popular "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks. We're ready to dissect the emotional rollercoaster, epic love story, and inevitable heartbreak Nicholas Sparks is famous for. So, grab your copy, settle in with a box of tissues, and get ready for a deep dive into this classic tearjerker.Join the Conversation!As always, we want to hear from you! What books did you devour in April? Did you love or loathe "The Duke and I"? And are you excited to get swept away by "Dear John"? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to follow us for more bookish adventures! Find us on Instagram, @mysisterstbr Happy Reading!Rebecca & StaceyMy Sister's TBRP.S.
