It’s a new year… which means new intentions, fresh planners, and at least three versions of ourselves living rent-free in our brains.

In this episode, we talk about:

• why resolutions feel overwhelming and how to make them realistic
• big goals vs tiny dopamine-hit goals
• whether rereads “count” towards your goal
• attention spans, burnout, and Romantasy overload
• choosing a word of the year (Youthful? Whimsy? Immersive?)
• motivating reads, comfort reads, and perspective-shifting picks
• building a real, inclusive book community in 2026

We’re starting the year with optimism, intention, and a TBR that may or may not destroy us...and we want to hear your goals too.

Tell us your word for 2026, your first read of the year, or a resolution you want help breaking down into something doable. We’ll cheer you on.

Next week: new releases we’re obsessing over and whether the sequels are actually worth it.

Same time, same place. Bring your blanket. Bring your book boyfriend. See you there.

In this episode, we’re wrapping up the ACOTAR series with a full recap of A Court of Silver Flames.

We break down Nesta Archeron’s journey from rage to healing, her relationship with Cassian, the rise of the Valkyries, the Blood Rite, the Dead Trove, and the events that reshape Prythian by the end of the book. We also share our honest reactions, what worked for us on reread, and where Silver Flames fits within the series overall.

To close out our final ACOTAR episode, we dive into ACOTAR 6 theories and predictions, including:

• Who we think the next book will follow
• The future of Elain, Azriel, Gwyn, and Lucien
• Whether the story is headed toward court politics, war, or something bigger

⚠️ Full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames and the entire ACOTAR series.

There is something about the holidays that makes us crave familiarity. The stories we return to, the movies we rewatch, and the books that feel more like comfort than content.

✨ Spoiler-light Good Spirits review
👻 Hot ghosts and holiday romance expectations
🎄 What makes a Christmas classic
🎬 Favorite holiday movies and comfort watches

To finish things off, we play a Naughty or Nice game featuring bookish hot takes, DNFing, enemies to lovers crimes, holiday smut opinions, and extremely specific reader behavior that might land you on Santa’s watch list.

This episode is cozy, opinionated, slightly unhinged, and best enjoyed while wrapping gifts or pretending you like eggnog.
