Before we had a podcast, we had a book club!
In this episode, we are going down memory lane to revisit the books we read together before we hit record: the ones we loved, the ones we didn’t, and the ones we still argue about until today.
Whether you're a long-time listener or new to our club, this episode is perfect if you're looking for your next read (or want to avoid a few).
📚 Featuring books like Happy Place by Emily Henry, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, Recursion by Blake Crouch, The Invisible Life of Addie la Rue by V.E. Schwab, Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver and And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.
In this episode we talk about super hyped books that were not for us, this means the bestsellers, booktok favorites and 5-star reads for everyone else. We’re sharing the books that disappointed us and asking: are we the problem, or are these books just overrated?
Expect some unpopular opinions, a few spicy takes, and maybe a little guilt.
Some of the books we mention:
Powerless by Lauren Roberts
Fearless by Lauren Roberts
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros
Got a book you didn’t love that everyone else raves about? DM us @BookBestieSaid we want to hear it!
