My Best Friend’s Book Club

Sorry best friends, no new episode this week. Your girls are utterly sick after our trip to Cancun. We read the assigned reading like good book clubbers do, but Yana has lost her voice. Alas, we cannot record.  Don't worry though, next week we'll catch up to stay in sync with our Reader Calendar (pinned post). Next week's episode will cover pages 117-234 - double whammy coming your way!    >&gt...

Hibernation continues, but this time, our hibernation girl’s body is rebelling. Rest is no longer an option as she finds herself doing things against her will — sexting, going out for food, booking spa appointments, even getting her hair cut. Will she manage to pull herself together in time for her best friend’s mother’s funeral? We’ll find out next week! Follow us, tap that 5-star like you also t...

We recap and discuss the opening chapters of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, exploring the central question of whether a year of rest is truly healthy—and, if so, whether pill-popping is the right way to go about it. We’d be remiss not to mention that the early pages also feature poop, taxidermied dogs, world-class jizz paintings, and death. Follow us, tap that 5-star like you’ve just made an appo...

Whew, this is the second to last episode, and then… WE’RE DONE (thank goddess).
