Books were read, thoughts spiraled, and vegetables were aggressively discussed. In this week’s episode, chaos ensues. Vanessa fell down a wildly unexpected internet rabbit hole that starts with Kindle Unlimited debates and somehow ends with… plant-based romance novels (honestly, how?!). Nicole attempts to restore order with a historical nonfiction about a heroic World War II dog named Judy, while Vanessa sobs in the backyard with her review. The episode wraps up with a debate: is it worse for a book to be boring or to make you angry?! Let them know what you think in the comments! Thanks for listening!!

In this episode of Savor the Story, all the randomness has arrived. Vanessa kicks things off with a collection of random thoughts and questions from the internet. From bookish games to silly questions to the best foreword from an author that influenced Nicole to read the book. Nicole has been in a bit of slump lately, so she decided to bring back an all-time favorite: a time-travel historical fiction she’s read six times and still loves like it’s the first. Vanessa keeps up with the random energy vibe with two VERY different books: a romance novella and a true crime about killers. (she’s here for it all!) They wrap up with a hilarious discussion about the silliest reasons readers have DNF’d a book, and admit to some of their own. Thanks for listening!!

Books were read. Opinions were had. Bookish news was shared. Snacks were eaten. Come join us! In this week’s episode, Nicole gives an update on her mirror reading glasses (first mentioned back in E55 Wicked Salt), Vanessa brings all the latest bookish updates: from release delays to fun new book announcements! Then it’s book talk time: Nicole reviews a romance full of letters (which she loves), deliberate miscommunication (which she hates), and a twist you might see coming. Meanwhile, Vanessa covers two very different disappearances and has plenty of thoughts to share! They close things out with a wildly chaotic round of “Never Have I Ever: Book Trope Edition”.

Books were read. Chaotic vibes were felt. Spoilers? Probably. This week, Nicole and Vanessa are feeling nostalgic, chaotic, and just a little judgmental. Vanessa is super excited to attend the Twilight 20th anniversary theater event and Nicole is fresh off a concert adventure (look at them, getting out there!). Nicole’s got two rom-com books this week and both are a little “vanilla”. And Vanessa helps a friend by reading a mystery/thriller to see if it is nightmare inducing. They wrap up the episode debating which books deserve TV or movie adaptations and discover what Nicole really wants is a new genre: “p*rn with plot.” Thanks for listening!!

A little chaos, a few spoilers, and a whole lot of book talk. It’s Halloween on Savor the Story! Nicole and Vanessa kick off with Halloween gripes and a war with their husbands over when it’s too early to buy candy. Nicole has LOTS of snacks to talk about since she had an apple orchard adventure this week! Then Nicole dives into a time-slip ghost romance and Vanessa reviews a rom-com with UFOs. Vanessa wants to clear the air about what makes a “true middle-of-the-road” rating, they rant about boring heroines, and close things out with a discussion about Kindle highlights… do they add to the experience or ruin it completely? (Vanessa says there’s a CLEAR answer here). Thanks for listening!!

Nicole and Vanessa are back with another round of book talk, snack cravings, and all the book crises (aka normal STS behavior). Vanessa spirals over a The Summer I Turned Pretty audiobook conspiracy (were there ever male narrators or has the internet gaslit her into madness?!) Meanwhile, Nicole still hates spending money on kindle books and talks about some big Murderbot news. Nicole revisits an old paranormal favorite while Vanessa takes on a paranormal romance for herself… and maybe regrets it. They wrap things up with a “book character swap” question that exposes Nicole’s cold, black heart. Thanks for listening (and someone please find a book that will give Nicole a heart and Vanessa some closure on TSITP)!

Nicole and Vanessa are back this week with more bookish chaos and snacks. They dive into the wild book community drama surrounding the Sinners and Stardust convention, share some much-needed snack joy, and review two very different reads. Nicole covers one featuring a shapeshifting monster with dating problems, and Vanessa covers a rom-com about finding love after death. They wrap things up with a hilarious discussion about hot guys on book covers, Harlequin nostalgia, and, of course, shirtless men on moors. Happy Halloween from your favorite book besties!
