Welcome back to our podcast—a cozy corner for book lovers of all kinds! 📖✨ This time we're trying something a little different: a strict buddy read! Dash, Erin, and Paige set themselves a page-per-day schedule for Jacqueline Harpman's haunting I Who Have Never Known Men—and the catch? No talking about the book with each other until the very last page was turned. No texting theories, no "wait, did you get to that part yet?", nothing. Just three readers, alone with the story, until it was time to finally compare notes.

In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on how that experiment actually went. Did the strict schedule help us savor the book, or did it drive us a little crazy waiting to talk about that twist? We're sharing what we loved (and didn't) about reading this way, whether we'd ever try it again, and all the little moments we were dying to text each other about but couldn't.

Then, we dig into the book itself—the mystery, the isolation, the questions it leaves you sitting with long after the last page. So grab your favorite reading drink, settle in, and join us as we talk buddy reads, self-restraint, and one seriously unforgettable book. 📚🔒✨

Welcome back to our podcast—a cozy corner for book lovers of all kinds! 📖💛

We're talking DNFs. Did Not Finish. Maybe a few of the most controversial letters in the book community?

We're getting into all of it: what a DNF actually means to us, where the "soft DNF" fits in, and how we each decide when a book has officially lost us. Then we get personal talking about the books we quietly abandoned, the ones we probably should have put down way sooner but stubbornly pushed through anyway, and the ones we almost gave up on that ended up totally winning us over.

No shame, no spoilers, just three babes being radically honest about the books that didn't make the cut. Whether you're a "always finish what you start" reader or a proud DNF-er, this episode might just change how you think about putting a book down. 📚✨✨
