    Apr 6 2026

    Join Amanda and Kelsey in their first April episode as they dive into Hannah Bonam-Young’s cozy romance ‘Out on a Limb’, where Win and Bo connect over shared limb differences, an accidental pregnancy, and a friends-to-lovers slow burn that’s heavy on sweetness and support. Follow along as they praise the healthy relationship, humor, disability representation, and hopeful future jump in the epilogue, while side-eyeing the too-perfect vibes, some preachy moments, and early explicit scenes.

    Mar 23 2026

    Join Kelsey and Amanda in their second Lit Bookstores featuring Roxanne, the owner of a horror-themed bookstore, Haunted Burrow Books, in Capitol Hill, Seattle.

Be sure to to tune into this slightly spooky convo that just might convince you to pick up a horror novel…

  • Ep. 80: Lit It or Quit It: The Nightingale
    Mar 16 2026

    Join Kelsey and Amanda as they tackle Kristin Hannah’s WWII tearjerker ‘The Nightingale’, unpacking the unforgettable sisterhood of Vianne and Isabelle as occupied France forces them into very different kinds of courage. From underground resistance missions to quiet, desperate survival, they debate what bravery really looks like—then cap it off with savage one-star takedowns, glowing five-star love, and why this book still hits painfully close to home.
