Between the Pages

We are excited to bring you our 23rd Pop Culture Rundown. In today’s episode, we really touch on a little bit of everything. Join us if you want to get hip.

After a week off, we are back to talk about our second August read, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Before we get into the science of it all, we discuss our recent trip to Miami, and the absolutely incredible LADY GAGA. Join us to find out what our first September read is!

We might as well call this The Summer I Turned Pretty run down because we get into it! We talk about the music choices, the acting choices, and our predictions for the last 4 episodes of the season. We also touch base on some of our favorite housewives from Miami…join us!

Our much anticipated Ragpicker King is here, and this time it’s a 5 star read for both of us! Join us as we discuss the book and talk about how long we fear we might be waiting for the third book. We also discuss the TS12 announcement and get into a serious convo to wrap things up.

Warning: we start this episode with some sad news. After that we get into a plethora of topics ranging from And Just Like That, to the Gilded Age, to schemes cooked up by Todd (if ya know, ya know). See ya there!

After a brief break, we are back and ready to discuss Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare. This was somebody’s first five star read, so we are ready to get into the details.

Our 20th Pop Culture Rundown!!! We are thrilled to be talking about the season finale of Love Island USA, with the hope we never have to talk about it again (maybe…). Outside of Love Island, we talk about people taking things too far on social media, Justin Bieber’s new album, the Emmy nominations and a few other surprises.

We cannot believe it’s already mid July…the summer is flying by. This month’s first read was a total shift for us! Join us while we talk about five year plans, grief, and friendship/relationship etiquette.

It has been a spicy week on Love Island, and we are here to talk about all of the drama. We’ve seen some high highs, and some low lows - do we think the islanders can turn this around? Will we leave this season with any authentic connections? Who’s to say, but join us as we break it all down.

June has flown by and we can’t believe it’s already time for our second read, Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood. We get into the yearning, the age gap romance of it all, and of course we sprinkle in just a liiiiiittle bit of Love Island.

This month has been so full of content we doubled up on our rundown! Join as us we discuss the Traitors cast announcement, the outcome of the Karen Read trial, and this past week of drama and crash outs (well….one crash out in particular) on Love Island.

We just got a text!!!!!! As we are Love Island super fans, join us to hear all of our takes about the new season of Love Island USA. We go through the entire cast, our takes on the current couples, and what we think is coming next.

We are back after a brief hiatus! Our first read this month is The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig. We discuss how we felt this compared to One Dark Window, our pits and peaks, and what we hope to see in book two.

We have a fully packed up episode! We talk about Melissa’s upcoming trip to California, Summer House, the clout chasing on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Justin Bieber tweets, and the trials of the day. Join us!

It’s time for our final May read! Join us as we discuss Anathema a gothic, fantasy, romance by Keri Lake. We discuss the interesting magic system and world building and talk about whether or not the term “slow burn” is becoming overused these days.

Our fifteenth Pop Culture Rundown….how did we get here?! This week we talk all about Broadway, a Julia Fox cameo, and some of the tomfoolery on Summer house…see you there!

Our first May read, and it has been highly anticipated! Join the gals as we talk about this slight shift for Emily Henry and get into all of the highs and lows. Overall, we enjoyed this book, but warning: spoilers ahead!

This week the girls get deep into the news of the week. We discuss the passing of Pope Francis, Summer House, the sometimes troubling Bravo narrative, and so much more!

Time to discuss our March read, First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and discuss our favorite Nora Ephron movies (as she was the inspiration for these series), and talk about what makes a contemporary romance really pull a reader in. We might also go on a tangent talking about the best Olson twin movies….you’ll have to listen to find out!
