In today’s episode of Book Bits & Chill we’re diving into our May reading wrap up and June TBRs, but somehow this episode also became a full existential crisis about reading moods, sequel fatigue, BookTok pressure, and whether we’ve all been forcing ourselves to read books like homework.

We talk about:

- the books that completely consumed our personalities
- our newest 5 star reads
- the most emotionally lingering books of the month
- why we think romantasy burnout is REAL
- sequel fatigue and release pressure
- the Binding 13 casting discourse
- mood reading vs forcing your TBR
- our perfect summer reading plans
- the books we think could become favorites of the year

Books mentioned include:
Into the Blue by Emma Brodie
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Famesick by Lena Dunham
Dire Bound & Fury Bound by Sable Sorenson
The Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion
When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A Parker
Score by Kennedy Ryan
Emma by Jane Austen
Phoebe Berman’s Gonna Lose It by Brooke Averick
…and more.

If you love romantasy, literary fiction, contemporary romance, honest ratings, chaotic reader conversations, and hearing two girls spiral over fictional men and their TBRs… welcome home.
