Can you believe we have made it to the half way point of 2026!! This is insane. Today Sam and Morgan discuss all things the first half of the year. The books they loved and may not have given so much love. All the authors they have talked to. Full of laughter and chaos come join us as we recap the half way point of 2026!

Today, we explore the great outdoors, whether the novel’s side characters made the story feel too cluttered, the World Cup, whether Boston could really handle the Scots, and Sam’s new venture: growing an ecosystem in her pool.

About The Nove:

Sadie Whitlock has always been praised for being the most prepared person in the room, the one who’s thought of everything—and every backup plan—for any given situation. She knows exactly what she wants, exactly what she loves, and goes to great lengths to make sure her life runs perfectly as planned. So, when her laidback boyfriend breaks up with her for being “too high-maintenance,” Sadie is eager to prove him wrong, and signs herself up for a week-long guided wilderness adventure in the High Sierras of camping, hiking, rappelling, and kayaking. It’s the most miserable, uncomfortable situation she can think of. Sadie’s a five-star resort girl at heart, but she has a compelling—and suspiciously attractive—tour guide August Thorn. Thorn lives for adventure and always keeps a professional distance from the trekkers under his care…but there’s just something about Sadie, and for the first time, he finds himself wanting to get closer. As they explore the wilderness together, Sadie realizes the great outdoors might truly be great with the right person.

Sam and Morgan discuss Sam's book club disaster and book mail in this episode along with reviewing and discussing the next book in The Never List Trilogy....The King's List by Jade Presley. We talk about previous predictions, all the politics and maybe some magical eggplants.

We hope you enjoy and don't forget to follow us on all our socials here!!

Summary:

Four princes. Four thrones. And a final season designed to decide if we’re worthy to rule. Every task is a test. Every smile is a lie. The people judge. The council votes. And the kings are waiting for us to fail. I was never meant to be queen. I was an Ashlander who broke into a palace searching for her sister. Now I stand beside the Legends of Chaos, holding power the kingdom fears and love fierce enough to burn it all down. To win the crowns, we’ll have to survive the Kings’ List. Failure isn’t an option. Because this time, we’re not just fighting for the throne—we’re fighting for each other.

Firstly, Happy Pride to those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community! Today, we discuss Wings of Life, a fantasy novel that has Morgan and Sam on different sides. We do want to thank Netgalley and Page and Vine for the opportunity to read this novel early for an honest review.

About The Novel:

They cast me off to Rihtlond as a bride. They don’t care if I come back alive. Too sharp-tongued and too curious, I am my mother’s greatest lament and my father’s constant frustration. Unwilling to bow to their will, I’ve become expendable, worth sending on a mission doomed to fail. Armed with nothing but a coded journal, a quill, and my wits, I’m thrust into the kingdom of our oldest enemy—a land of storms and warriors—to wed their high dane’s son. Trapped on their ruthless continent, I am no blushing bride. I’m a spy sent to unlock Rihtlond’s weaknesses… a cuckoo in the robin’s nest. But my heart still bleeds red when the weaponmaster of these strange people steals it away. Through him, I learn to unlock their secrets. What I uncover is more dangerous than I ever imagined: magic thrumming in the roots of Rihtlond, a dragon hidden in plain sight, and a love I was never meant to feel. Holding this knowledge, I am meant to return home and bind myself to a future I was given long ago. Now, as war rises and alliances crumble, I must choose between duty and desire, between the family who cast me aside and the bond that awakens who I truly am. To protect what I’ve found—and who I become—I must risk everything. Even if it brands me a traitor. Even if it costs me my life.

This week we had the pleasure of having Meghan Le Fay on the podcast discussing her debut novel The Wings of Life. We had so much fun learning about how she created this amazing world and even tested her knowledge on some famous pop culture dragons!

Meghan Le Fay hails from present-day Earth, despite her lifelong dream of being born as an elf in Middle-earth. A constant and consummate fan of fantasy, she lives, breathes, and dreams in the spidery language of the magic. Her works are inspired by her obsessions with mythology, medieval history, and all things magical and mystical—especially dragons.

When not writing or daydreaming of other realms, Meghan can be found avoiding the Arizona desert heat through reading, crafting, music, or dance. Or having wild adventures (both real and imaginary) with her family.

Today,

Sam and Morgan talk about gym struggles and our favorite romance author, Katherine Center. In this episode, we discuss Katherine Center’s newest novel, The Shippers!, including our love-hate relationship with the miscommunication trope and whether a first kiss really shapes your dating life.

About The Novel:

After a whole lifetime of being bad at love, JoJo Burton decides to solve her intimacy issues once and for all at her sister’s destination wedding on a cruise ship. With the help of a little pop psychology, she diagnoses herself with a fixation on the neighborhood guy who was her first crush and first kiss (and who just happens to be a newly-divorced wedding guest ), and she decides to woo him during the cruise for some long-delayed closure. Only problem is, her sister’s a little busy being a bride at the moment—so JoJo ropes in her childhood bestie, Cooper Watts, to be her wing man. Cooper: who RSVPed no, but then showed up, anyway. Cooper: who left town without a word four years earlier and moved to London. Cooper: who was, if she’s honest, the worst heartbreak of JoJo’s life. It’s bliss for her to see him again, and it’s agony, too—and the more they team up for Project Conquest, the more she obsesses over questions she can’t bring herself to ask. Shipboard antics ensue in this witty, heart-tugging, childhood-friends-to-lovers romance—as JoJo and Cooper fake flirt, slow dance, share a cabin, sing duets, treat sunburns, get jealous, rescue each other over and over, and finally, at last, figure it all out in the most blissful, swoony, romantic way.
