Scissor Sisters Podcast

This week we're talking bookstore book club picks, why friends-to-lovers romance doesn't always work for us, exciting new things happening at The Book Burrow, vinyl records, upcoming author events, and the local conversations everyone seems to be having. As always, we somehow end up bouncing between books, bookstore life, community topics, Halloween plans, and whatever else comes to mind....

This week we spiral into Universal Studios chaos, Epic Universe opinions, Orlando Informer tips, horror books, sports romance books, Halloween Horror Nights planning, and why Mario World feels like sensory overload. We also talk summer horror reads, unexpectedly loving a sports romance adaptation, and why we’re already planning our next Universal trip before recovering from the last one. Basically...

This episode is absolute chaos in the best way possible. We recorded an entire Scissor Sisters episode while actively getting tattooed at Dark Arts Studio and somehow ended up talking about Universal Studios, romance books, creepy Disney rides, internet drama, attendance awards, AI pictures, weird customers, bookstore life, and the fact that The Book Burrow officially has a website now. Huge shout...

This episode starts with fantasy books and somehow ends with us questioning an entire city rebrand. We talk about our newest obsession, Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry, why everyone at The Book Burrow suddenly became obsessed with the series, and what makes a fantasy book actually work for casual readers. Then we dive into the controversy surrounding Lebanon, Missouri’s new logo after reports c...

We started with a book review… and ended up defending our entire bookstore. In this episode, we’re talking about Starside by Alex Aster, romantasy reads, and what actually makes a four-star vs five-star book. Then things take a turn when a customer tells us they’ve never been into The Book Burrow because they thought we only sold romance. We don’t. We break down what we actually carry, why indie b...

This episode starts with books and ends with business chaos. We talk L.J. Shen’s Twisted Game , dark romance, cheating debates, and why readers love to panic in comment sections. Then we get into online complaints, bad reviews, supporting local businesses, and why sometimes you have to defend what you built. Also, Independent Bookstore Day is here, so come see us at The Book Burrow for books, give...

We picked a thriller that had a great setup… and then slowly lost us. We’re talking three-star reads, twists that didn’t quite hit, and why some thrillers feel like they’re just repeating the same formula until they randomly don’t. One of us didn’t mind the ending. The other one had a lot more questions. We also get into indie authors only releasing on Amazon, the whole AI debate in books, and wha...

This episode goes everywhere… and somehow all connects. We start with book talk that takes a turn into darker themes, then get into a conversation that’s blowing up online… women-only Uber rides and why people are so divided about it. That leads into a real story involving a simple shirt that somehow turned into a breakup. From there it’s just real life. Intuition stories, random facts, movie thea...

We almost quit the podcast. After a deleted episode, muted audio, and questioning our life choices, the Scissor Sisters are back behind the microphones. In this episode we talk about a three-book romance series written by three different authors that somehow reads like one seamless story. We break down the books, why the second one might be the favorite, and the realization that every male charact...

We started this episode talking about books. That did not last long. Somewhere between fantasy reads and pop culture, we ended up reading real comments men leave on our podcast clips… and things got weird fast. What starts as criticism turns into entitlement, insults, and comments that say way more about the people typing them than the women on the screen. We talk about why men feel so comfortable...

It’s two days before Christmas and we absolutely should not have hit record. We meant to talk about Christmas books and last-minute reads. We did that… briefly. Then it turned into bookstore chaos, holiday nostalgia, Megan Quinn love, Stranger Things nerves, TikTok humor, ringtones, iron infusions, Missouri weather, and whatever else popped into our heads. This episode is unfiltered, rambling, ver...

It’s Black Friday at the bookstore, and everything is unhinged in the best way. We talk about hitting over 12,000 books sold, break down our top sellers of the year, share the latest wild town gossip, relive Carter’s unforgettable puke story, and wrap with a big Stranger Things discussion. Real life, real chaos, and a lot of laughing through the madness.

We’re back — slightly scarred, highly caffeinated, and somehow still laughing. In this “mini” episode that’s definitely not mini, we catch up on: • Matching surgeries (yes, same week) • One very unfortunate case of poison ivy • Getting featured in 417 Magazine • TikTok fans finding the bookstore IRL • Burger King regrets and Christmas decorating rules Basically, it’s chaos, book talk, and question...

We start this episode with a fly swatter, a book review, and absolutely no plan—so, basically, business as usual. This week the sisters break down The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy (spoiler: not that irresistible), discuss whether the Annabelle doll is actually just Raggedy Ann with a rebrand, and spiral into a full-blown defense of Rainforest Cafe. There’s also a mini rant on school sc...

We’re back from summer chaos with stories of theme park rides, food that turned our poop green, book drama we don’t care about, and the kind of Shark Week energy only the Scissor Sisters can bring. Tan, unhinged, and unapologetic.

Episode 51 Wildest Dreams by L.J. Shen The black cats out of the broom closet … the rumors are confirmed, we are witches and the book store has nothing but witch books. (Sarcasm) peewee Herman pedophile or no? Andrew Wilson and his “whatever podcast” will be the first male that we exile from the planet when we make it “Handman’s tale”. Also stranger things and universal countdown has OFFICIALLY OF...
