THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK Before getting into the tragic story of Harry Potter, the sisters dig into the tragic life of Candice's math-quiz interview. After judging poor interviewing techniques, the girlies judge JK Rowlings Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone cover - of which they give high praise. After 30 or so minutes the sisters finally 'get into it' as they pick up with H...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK Candice and Chrissy return to the childhood classics with the first Harry Potter book by J. K. Rowling! We know there's not a lot of content out there for HP so we did our due diligence in leaving no (sorcerer's) stone unturned. Some of the questions discussed include... Who's worse, Dudley or Malfoy? How did Dumbledore drop Harry off to his evil relatives and...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK Candice and Chrissy finish The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose! We talk all things Killy Milly Morgan, including: - Do we love that she is pure demon, or is it too much? - Will Alejandro be her next victim, or are they going to go into the murder business together Millie-Enzo style (a la Housemaid)? - Where did all of Bob's brain cells go, and why was his plan Dance Da...

In an effort to build their 3 month stock-pile, the Bookalicious girlies speed-recap Jeneva Rose's The Perfect Divorce. More plot holes from book one are covered up by Sheriff Hudson who asks questions 11 years too late. The sisters postulate new theories with their favorite centering around the very forgettable assistant-turned-manager Anne & her suspiciously absent gender neutral spouse...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK The Bookalicious Sisters roll right in to Jeneva Rose's latest thriller, The Perfect Divorce. We pick up with Bob & Sarah one year into their marriage in a meeting with their divorce lawyers! Knowing this book is about the worst people, we have several bads and possibly 1 (or 2??) BIG BAD resulting in the pages turning slower than The Perfect Marriage. The sisters...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK Candice and Chrissy wrap up The Perfect Marriage- Chrissy is distressed at the injustice and Candice loves the kookiness of the story. We ask all of our questions like: Is this the ending we wanted? How did no one question all the conflicts of interests in this case? Why is everyone in this town evil? And, was Sarah possessed by the spirit of Killie Millie and will there...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK In a stunning turn, Chrissy's seemingly off-the-wall #1 suspect (Sarah's mystery mister) makes an appearance in a strange ghostly sexcapade while Candice is distraught as her well-thought out theory of Matthew as the killer starts to unravel. Sarah makes moves to investigate Kelly's creepy stalker, while Adam employees a rando from the street claiming to be a...

We put on our detective hats to unravel the juicy murder mystery in The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose! Chrissy has watched at least 100 hours of Suits and Candice is an expert on all things Law and Order: SVU, so we feel pretty ready to crack this case. We share our leading theories on who dunnit, recap the characters, and ask all of our questions like: Why is everyone okay with all this conflic...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK We start this episode reviewing all the ways Fey Fey is cray cray, but then end the episode admitting that SJM worked her magic and we're totally hooked on the story. We discuss Feyre's rage texts, whether we need Amarantha to come back to keep everyone in check, how the human queens are really the Real Housewives of Human World, and our conundrum that Lord Hybern...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK It's part two of ACOMAF and part 100000 of Fey's insufferable antics. We talk all about the Weaver a la Hansel and Gretel, red flag or deal breaker with our guy Rhys, Nesta's role as (evil villain? secret queen? our favorite character?), the gang's summer vacation to the beach, and Fey's ungrateful feet for her reading lessons. We had a lot of fun with...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK In this nearly two-hour extravaganza (!!), the ladies catch up on the life of Fey Fey and Tam Tam. They've got lots of thoughts on F(lop)-Boy Torture Tam, Fey's wedding attire a la Teresa from Real Housewives of NJ , Homeschool Camp Rhys, and Fey's ungrateful feet. Is Amarantha's riddle the secret to the whole book? Is it actually about Tam Tam? What do al...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK The ladies finish their second Sanderson book of the pod and talk all things Tress: - What's the difference between selling your mind and selling your body? - Candi's expert sleuthing skills to connect all the Cosmere dots (and connect the unbelievable final boss scene) - Why was the Sorceress really a clown? - Book ratings, Read it like Reddit, and Picture This e...

Was he speaking to the king through the bathroom plumbing or yelling through the window? You decide! Join us ne...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK The sisters take a much needed break from their self-help philosophy books and return to their OG, all-time favorite, Brandon Sanderson!! Tress of the Emerald Sea is (loosely?) based off The Princess Bride and we LOVE it. Notable topics- Author recap on the proliferative Sandy and his connection to Jeopardy Are we in the story or do we need to suspend some belief? Is Chri...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOKT he sisters wrap up The Alchemist and discuss all things personal destiny, what makes a good treasure, and run-on sentences.

We also play Read it like Reddit and find out we read it just like Goodreads- let us know what you think of this book...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK The Bookalicious babes are back!! Candi is back from her adventure in Japan and has a grand tale about how she almost made it a solo adventure. But, thanks to a secret government agent working overtime and the world conspiring to make her dream succeed, everything worked out in the end. Speaking of, The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo! We start off with a juicy author recap in...

In an extreme effort to not miss an episode, Chrissy pressed the red emergency button and called in her husband Josh to be her esteemed guest on Bookalicious! Josh requested "medical book or bust," so we're recapping Ch 10 of The Dueling Neurosurgeons by Sam Kean. Despite all of our jokes at the beginning, this book is not boring and was not chosen in an attempt to sabotage Bookalyti...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK In both an effort to never miss and episode and to leave no stones unturned, the Bookalicious sisters do the impossible and split The Little Prince into, not two, but three parts! In Part 2/3, they cover the highly-anticipated author recap (this is a good one) before they discuss the last two planets (the Geographer and Lamplighter) and the Prince's first few encounte...

THIS IS NOT AN AUDIO BOOK The sisters (princesses??) begin Part 1/2 on The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry!
