In this episode, we dive into the world of Throne of Glass and all the delicious character drama we love. We chat about how our girl Celaena Sardothien grows from a “don’t-talk-to-me-I’m-busy-assassinating” vibe into this layered, powerful heroine who somehow manages to break our hearts and make us cheer every five minutes. We also gush about Nehemia, our brilliant outsider queen, and how her strength, mystery, and moral clarity shake Celaena in all the best (and worst) ways. From themes of f...

Our Chaotic Take on "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J Maas - Part ONE ◡̈
WARNING: As always - there are SPOILERS peeps. Be prepared. We warned you. So basically, we spent the entire episode spiraling into a full-blown Throne of Glass therapy session. As usual, we were all in our feelings—because Sarah J. Maas said “character development” and we said “emotional damage.” We dove into Aelin’s whole journey like we were defending our dissertations, side-eyed a few relationship dynamics, and screamed about plot twists we absolutely did not see coming. We also had Thoug...

Our Chaotic Take on "The Pumpkin Spice Cafe" by Laurie Gilmore
This week, we dive headfirst into The Pumpkin Spice Cafe' by Laurie Gilmore, spill on our current reads, and sprinkle in some personal life updates you didn’t know you needed. Of course, no episode of ours is complete without a detour into sports chaos, ticket troubles, and a passionate deep dive into complaining. Expect strong opinions, giggling, cussing and a few “did we read the same book?” moments. We also chat about how tricky book recommendations can be, the highs and lows of emotional ...

Our Chaotic Take on "Variation" by Rebecca Yarros
Alright, here’s your snarky, “the ladies wrote it” version — conversational, witty, and a little sharp around the edges: This episode? Oh, it’s a ride. We dive into Variation by Rebecca Yaros — Hudson and Allie’s emotional circus. We roast, we toast, we cringe, we swoon. Expect some spicy opinions, a few “can you believe this?” moments, and yes — a full-on spoiler zone where nothing and no one is safe. Somewhere in between, there’s a football break (because apparently, we multitask now), and ...

Our Chaotic Take on “Ward D” by Freida McFadden
In this episode, the gals dive into Frieda McFadden’s War D—a thriller that plays with your emotions harder than a toxic ex. They call out the plot twists that left them gasping, side-eyeing, and occasionally throwing the book (reader) across the room. While discussing the characters (and dragging the ones who deserved it), they spill personal tea, reflect on the messy intersections of mental health and relationships, and remind us that honesty in reviews isn’t optional. This convo is equal p...

Bigfoot Erotica, Small Towns and Chaos
In this episode, the ladies kick things off with the kind of hard-hitting journalism you can only get from a podcast: updates about their lives and a spirited debate over—wait for it—hair. From there, they somehow pivot to Emily Henry’s Book Lovers, dissecting themes, characters, and witty banter like they’re literary surgeons who also gossip on the side. Naturally, the conversation detours into tattoo plans (because nothing says “book club” like needle-based permanent decisions) and Uber hor...

THE Jean Jacket, the List and the Chaos
Language and spoilers are the backbone of this episode. That's your warning. In this episode, the gals dive into Megan Lally’s thriller That’s Not My Name—a book that’s equal parts suspense and “yeah, I totally saw that coming.” They chat about the characters, the themes, and whether the plot twists are actually, you know, twisty. Along the way, they sprinkle in personal stories that make you laugh, cringe, or question your own life choices. But it doesn’t stop at book talk. Oh no. The ...

Underbooked, Overchatted and Still Chaotic - Part Two!
In this episode, the ladies heroically avoid finishing their own book (because deadlines are for other people) and instead gossip about their favorite authors, genres, and those juicy tropes that make them weak in the knees. They confess their chaotic reading habits, debate why authorship matters (spoiler: it does), and celebrate the thrill of stumbling across a new book like it’s literary treasure. Along the way, they tackle the awkward perils of meeting authors in real life (fangirl sweats,...

Curses, Healing and Chaos
In this episode, the ladies go full deep-dive into Abby Jimenez’s Just for the Summer—a book that somehow manages to juggle trauma, emotional growth, mental health, and still sneak in enough humor to make you snort-laugh in public. They spill their (very different) opinions on the characters and plot, calling out the tearjerker moments, the swoony bits, and the “oh no she didn’t” twists. Of course, it’s not all sunshine and banter—family baggage, addiction, and messy mental health realities a...

Purpose, Misogyny and Chaos
Warning: spoilers and bad language may occur!!!!!! In this episode, the ladies serve up their usual banter before tearing into Born for Silk—a book brimming with alpha males, questionable plot choices, and enough misogyny to power the eye-rolls of the entire group. They roast the flat storytelling, lament the plot’s absence like it’s a missing person case, and debate whether any of the characters deserve saving. Favorite and least favorite moments get equal treatment (spoiler: some “fav...

Beware - spoiler & language alert ◡̈ On this episode, the ladies tackle The Housemaid by Freida McFadden — scrubbing through its secrets, lies, and a few questionable life choices. They don’t just chat plot; they pick apart messy character dynamics, moral gray zones, and why thrillers keep dangling the promise of justice we’re not sure we actually get. The conversation careens from bookish theft (plot or otherwise) to the minefield of reader triggers, the fine art of rating a ...
