Ep 23 Reacting to YOUR Unpopular Book Opinions!

Send us a text

This episode is exactly what it sounds like! After our last “unpopular opinions” episode, you all sent us your most unpopular bookish opinions so Ashley and Liz can react to them. And we sure had a blast!

We start off with some easy ones like: do you dog ear your pages or satisfyingly crack those book spines? Then we move into some more polarizing unpopular opinions about House of Flame & Shadow, H.D. Carlton, and a new popular book about serial killers!

Do you like miscommunication? Why is hockey romance a thing? Should fantasy books have technology? And how about this: should spoilers be allowed? Period.

We cover faves and fails with a fun concert surprise and Liz’s husband eating… in general. And then wrsp things up with a smash or pass involving a hot dad and a candlestick. (… but not like that… get your minds out of the gutter…)
