My Sister's TBR

April Mid-Month Check-In: Respectfully Wandering Near Our TBR If you’ve ever opened a book… read two chapters… and then immediately picked up something else—welcome. You are among friends. We’re back with our April mid-month check-in, and this one is very much a “we’re just vibing” episode. Because somehow it’s already mid-April (time is fake, we’ve decided), and our reading habits are… questionab...

We told ourselves we were going to react calmly. We told ourselves this would be a chill, normal, emotionally stable mini episode. It took approximately seven seconds for that to fall apart. Welcome to this chaotic little bonus episode of My Sister’s TBR , where we finally sat down to watch the new HBO Harry Potter trailer! (and immediately realized we were not prepared for the emotional damage.)...

Welcome back to another My Sister’s TBR wrap-up! Also known as our monthly tradition of lovingly checking in with our reading lives and admitting that sometimes… we simply vibe near our books instead of actually reading them. February was not exactly a productivity queen. Our reading pace could best be described as “two chapters and a dream.” Did we sprint through our TBRs? No. Did we respectfully...

Welcome back to My Sister’s TBR , where today we’re diving deep into People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry! AKA the story that had us staring at the wall and emotionally buffering for a minute. We’re unpacking Poppy + Alex (golden retriever vs black cat vibes), the friendship-to-lovers slow burn, the “no but what if…” tension, and all the moments that live rent-free in our brains. And yes: we’...

If you’ve ever reached the end of the month, stared at your TBR, and whispered “I swear I read more than this…” welcome. You are among friends. January is finally over (thank god), and it somehow felt like five months long . This episode of My Sister’s TBR is our end-of-month wrap-up, which means full transparency: the hits, the misses, the DNFs, the pauses, and the books that emotionally ruined u...

If January had a personality, it would be the friend who says “new year, new you!” while shoving 17 new releases directly onto your already-suffering TBR . Rude. Absolutely rude. Welcome to Season 4, Episode 1 of My Sister’s TBR — where we proudly admit we’ve learned nothing, our anticipated releases lists are lies we tell ourselves for serotonin, and our TBRs are already derailing before February...

Season 4 of My Sister’s TBR dives into book-to-screen adaptations , comparing the original books to their movie and TV versions. Each episode, we read the book, watch the adaptation, and break down the characters, themes, changes, and moments that worked—or didn’t. Expect romance novels , fantasy reads , emotional stories, and honest discussions about adaptations, casting choices, and why the book...

Cheers ☕️ and welcome back to My Sister’s TBR , the podcast where two sisters overshare about books, life, and the emotional damage fictional characters inflict upon us. We’re Stacey and Rebecca, and this is our 2025 Year-End Wrap-Up — a very special episode and post for two reasons: * We’re recapping an entire year of reading * We recorded in person , for the first time in way too long Same room...

Find your comfiest chair, grab something warm to drink (peppermint bark optional, Krampus‑approved), and settle in — it’s time for our December Mid‑Month Check‑In . This episode was equal parts festive, chaotic, and deeply honest about what December does to readers with big goals and even bigger TBRs. If you’ve been wondering where our December Featured Read wandered off to… don’t worry, we addres...

Welcome to our Alchemised Support Group... snacks are in the back, tissues up front, emotional stability not included. This week, we're diving into Alchemised by SenLinYu , (with spoilers!) a book so dark, dense, and devastating that we needed to schedule a full-blown debrief the second we finished it. We’re talking necromancy, cult energy, war-torn worldbuilding, morally gray men (hello, Kaine),...

Dust off your library cards, top up your mug, and settle in, because your favorite chaotic bookish sisters are officially out of hiatus and back behind the mics. And honestly? We’ve missed this. We’ve missed you . We’ve missed dramatically gasping at plot twists no one can see coming and going on tangents absolutely no one asked for. 📚 Life Lately (AKA Our Mid-Season Plot Twist) If our podcast we...

Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca—your favorite sister duo back with our July wrap-up episode! This month, something wild happened: Rebecca outread Stacey . (No, really. The world tilted. A prophecy was fulfilled. We have the Goodreads receipts.) Stacey hit a bit of a reading slump while Rebecca spiraled into a whirlwind of short stories, romance novels, a...

Hey everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR! We're Stacey and Rebecca, and we’re BACK from our little summer hiatus—tanned, caffeinated, and bookishly overachieving (well, we're trying at least). We hope your June was full of iced lattes, shady reading spots, and at least one swoony fictional man who ruined real-life dating forever. In this episode, we’re wrapping up all the reads from June:...

We're back with another episode of My Sister's TBR, and this time, we're diving headfirst into the thrilling world of... well, anything BUT romance!

Hello strangers! It feels like just yesterday we were kicking off Season 2, and now here we are, wrapping it up with a look back at ALL the books we devoured (and some we maybe…didn't) this year. Join us for our Season 2 finale as we dish about the absolute BEST reads of 2024 – the ones that earned a permanent spot on our shelves (aka "trophies," as Stacey finally learned this year 😂). We're talk...
