    16. A Song To Drown Rivers (Book Review)
    May 7 2025
    This week, I discuss Ann Liang's 2024 historical novel A Song To Drown Rivers. This book avoids the pitfalls of the YA genre, tells a compelling story, and even has some interesting things to say about power and the patriarchy. I have two main plot quibbles that I will warn you about in this Spoiler-Free review,… and then I will totally rant about the ending in a video coming to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube in the next day or two, so look out for that. As always, I examine the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value. Plus, there's a delightful popcorn fact at the end. Enjoy!

    15. Jane And Dan At The End Of The World (Book Review)
    Apr 23 2025
    Kaylia gives a Spoiler-Free review of the 2025 “cozy thriller” Jane and Dan At The End of the World by Colleen Oakley. This book is a fast, fun read about a married couple having an adventure in a fancy restaurant… an adventure that could make or break their marriage. Maybe. This light read is perfect for the beach, the pool, or the airplane. As always, I look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode, and a bonus at the very very end for those of you who NEED to KNOW. Enjoy!

    14. The Sun Was Electric Light (Book Review)
    Apr 16 2025
    Kaylia gives a Spoiler-Free review of The Sun Was Electric Light, a literary debut novel by Rachel Morton. This book is short, powerful, cerebral, highbrow, and Hemingwayesque. It might be just what you are looking for. This episode is longer than normal because Kaylia went a bit off script in the “spoiler” section at the end. As always, we look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode, and a bonus at the very very end for those of you who NEED to KNOW. Enjoy!

    13. Tilt (Book Review)
    Apr 9 2025
    Kaylia reviews Emma Pattee's 2025 novel Tilt. This page-turner thriller about a pregnant woman in the aftermath of a disaster is emotional, poignant, and masterfully written. One of the best books of the year so far, Tilt will make you laugh, cry, and feel hope while showcasing the writing chops of this amazing debut novelist. As always, we look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode, and a bonus at the very very end for those of you who NEED to KNOW. Enjoy!

    12 Goddess Complex (Book Review)
    Apr 2 2025
    Kaylia reviews the 2025 novel Goddess Complex by Sanjena Sathian. This much-anticipated novel tackles the issues of motherhood, millennial goals, and marriage. While not a beach read, this novel is funny, poignant, and very timely. (Even if it isn’t speculative fiction.) As always, we look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode, and a bonus at the very very end for those of you who NEED to KNOW. Enjoy!

    11. Young Rich Widows (Book Review)
    Apr 2 2025
    Kaylia reviews the 2024 80s-inspired thriller Young Rich Widows. Despite there being multiple issues for this grammar nerd, the book was overall fun, light, and very much 80s action adventure…. complete with a coke-fueled mob party and amateur sleuths in sexy lingerie. As always, we look at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value to give you a SPOILER-FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode. Enjoy! You can find all past and future episodes of this podcast on its website kmmamedia.com/pagesandpopcornpodcast Stay in touch!

    10. The Bones Beneath My Skin (Book Review)
    Apr 2 2025
    Kaylia reviews The Bones Beneath My Skin which, despite the title, is not a horror book but a delightful sci-fi beach read about found family, love conquering all, and the universal power of bacon. She looks at the novel’s atmosphere, writing style, plot, characters, and overall entertainment value and gives you a SPOILER FREE review. Plus a delightful popcorn fact at the end of the episode.
