165. May Book Club: Remarkably Bright Creatures
We start talking about Remarkably Bright Creatures (with spoilers) around the 22 minute mark. This week we're talking about our March Book Club pick: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt! We had very differing opinions about the book but all really loved the movie! We talk about the movie and book at the same time throughout the episode so make sure you are caught up before listening. We do cover some book news at the start and have to talk about the incredible Michael movie and F1 at the end so there's plenty to enjoy outside of the book chats!

163. One Star Reviews That Personally Offended Us
In today's episode, we are reading one star reviews of some of our recent reads. We did this last year and had fun reading through all the hilarious reviews so we decided to bring it back! Overall we found some really good reviews and tried our best to guess what book they were about. We also had to recap the fantastic F1 weekend in Miami - finally feels like we're back!!

161. April Book Club: 11/22/63
For our book club this month, we decided to tackle our first Stephen King novel - 11/22/63. It was a LONG one that dragged in a few parts but overall gave us a lot to think about. Micaela was given permission to skip this month after we quickly realized there was no way she was making it through the 30 hour audiobook. We did all watch the mini-series on netflix so tune in to hear our thoughts about that too! Join us for our next month's pick: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. This is one of Hannah's all time favorite novels so grab your copy and read along! Currently Reading: Dear Debbie by Frieda McFadden Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers The Selection by Kiera Cass And Then There Were None by Agitha Christie Golden Son by Pierce Brown

160. Three Years Later and It's Still Good
Three years of It Gets Good and we're celebrating with you! In this special anniversary episode, we're diving into your question box responses (favorite episodes, the books we've introduced you to, bookish hot takes, and more) while reminiscing on how far we've come. Plus, we're sharing what's next… and let's just say, it might involve YouTube (we know, we know... we're just as shocked as you.) Next week's episode is our April Book Club: 11/22/63. We'll be chatting about the miniseries on Netflix starring James Franco, too! In anticipation for the movie releasing on Netflix next month, we'll be reading Remarkably Bright Creatures for our May book club. Grab a copy and join us on Fable!

159. TBR Spring Cleaning
We're officially breaking up with books on our TBR. Instead of adding more to our already out-of-control lists, we're going through and removing the titles that just aren't calling to us anymore. Some didn't survive the Goodreads ratings check, others simply lost their spark, but all of them had their moment. This episode is a mix of honest takes, a little chaos, and yes… even a few emotional goodbyes. If you've read any of the books we cut, we need to know: Did we make a mistake? Let us know which ones are actually worth keeping… we're not above adding them back.
