Happy Spring and welcome to April bookish!! We attempted to do a quickie episode but of course we continued to yap. We announce our April book of the month, This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead. The author confirmed it’s inspired by the 2022 Idaho murders, and we are equally spooked and so ready for this thriller. Current reads: Saanya is diving into The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren, and Sehrish has finally escaped her book slump with The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. We all know the book is (almost) always better than the Hollywood adaptation, but Saanya will report back once she reads The Handmaid’s Tale. And if you’re doomscrolling TikTok like Sehrish, you’re probably deep in White Lotus theories—and yes, we’re all obsessed with Chloe’s yacht look. We hope you enjoy!

And as always, thanks for reading along with us this month. P.S. This episode drops on Saanya’s birthday, so you know it’s a special one! 🎉
