The eleventh hour is when everything you’ve been holding finally breaks through. In our 11th episode, we sit with Long After We Are Gone—a novel that doesn’t just tell a story, it demands that you feel it. And we did. Every one of us. Natasha, Lex, Stephanie, and Star came into this conversation carrying more than just thoughts—we brought our full hearts. This is a book about the ache that lives beneath silence. About how grief burrows into a family and makes a home there. About how love and ...

The Tenth Pour: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

Ten episodes in—and this one’s a celebration. Black Girls Lit! has officially reached double digits, and we’re raising a glass to the journey. Through every laugh, debate, page-turn, and pause for refills, we’ve built something rooted, reflective, and here to stay. For this milestone moment, we chose An American Marriage by Tayari Jones—a story that stirs up real questions about loyalty, timing, systems, and love under pressure. It’s intimate, it’s complex, and it felt like the perfect mirror...

The Ninth Episode: The Butcher's Game by Alaina Urquhart

The Butcher is back—and not everyone wanted to follow him. In Episode 9, Lex, Star, and Natasha continue the twisted ride with The Butcher’s Game by Alaina Urquhart. Stephanie gracefully bows out (because one killer was enough!), leaving the rest of us to chase this psychopath across state lines to Massachusetts. What we found? A book that was faster, more brutal, and disturbingly intimate. The tension is thick, and so are the questions around justice, obsession, and whether some people want ...

The Eighth Pour: The Butcher and The Wren by Alaina Urquhart

In Episode 8, the crew goes way into the mind of madness with The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart. This psychological thriller had us digging deep into the chilling mind games of a serial killer who toys with more than just his victims. The hosts—Natasha, Lex, Star, and Stephanie—unpack what it means to walk through a killer’s thoughts and how unsettling it feels when you start to understand his logic. We get into ethical boundaries, psychological horror, and the seductive pull of con...

The Seventh Pour: The Children of Anarchy and Anguish by Tomi Adeyemi

We’ve come to the end—but this one didn’t go quietly. In the final episode of our Legacy of Orïsha series, we dive into Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi—and it’s a whirlwind from beginning to end. From explosive pacing to emotional swings, Book 3 pushed us all in different directions. Some of us closed the book... let’s just say, with more feelings than fulfillment. And yes, a little heat came through the mic as we tried to process what really landed—and what left us aski...

The Sixth Pour: The Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi

The revolution isn’t over—but the vibes have definitely shifted. In this sixth episode of Black Girls Lit!, the hosts return with our special guest and now rotating co-host, Stephanie, to continue unraveling Tomi Adeyemi’s Legacy of Orïsha series. After falling hard for Children of Blood and Bone, our follow-up read—Children of Virtue and Vengeance—stirred up more questions than we expected. This time, the magic feels heavier, the alliances shakier, and the wounds even deeper. What happens wh...

The Fourth Pour: Wish You Had Told Me by Zina Patel

In this week’s Black Girls Lit! pour, your favorite lit crew — Lex, Natasha, and Star — crack open Wish You Had Told Me by Zina Patel, and whew… the silence speaks loud in this one. This episode is a toast and a warning — because sometimes it’s not the knife in your back that hurts, it’s the friend holding it. The ladies dive deep into the novel’s haunting friendship secrets, the weight of untold truths, and the real-life reminder to watch who you call “friend.” We unpack the delicate dance o...

The Third Pour: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

This pour hits different. We’re diving into The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah—a story of two sisters just trying to survive Nazi-occupied France in their own powerful (and very different) ways. In this episode, we’re talking about quiet strength, the weight of sacrifice, and how women have always been the backbone of resistance—even when nobody was watching. Expect some deep sips, a few unexpected laughs, and a lot of “whew” moments as we pull the layers back on love, war, and what it really ...

The Second Pour: The Other Side of the Pillow by Zane

Pour something silky and press play, because this 57-minute ride is draped in satin and soaked in real talk. Zane’s no-holds-barred tale of passion, power plays, and second chances has the Black Girls Lit! crew in their feelings—and their fantasies—as they dissect how love and lust can cradle the heart or crush it. Lex, Natasha, Nicole, and Star waste no time rating the spice level, swapping “been-there” stories, and dropping the kind of one-liners that make you rewind just to laugh again. Th...

The First Pour: Let Them by Mel Robbins

In our very first pour, we’re diving into Let Them by Mel Robbins — a short but powerful read that had us all rethinking how we respond to judgment, rejection, and other people’s opinions. With cocktails in hand and truth on our tongues, we’re talking boundaries, freedom, and what it really means to let go and live unbothered. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a whole lot of “YES, girl!” energy. This one’s for anyone who’s tired of explaining themselves — and ready to let them... whatever. C...
