Get out that good ol’ stack of post it notes and your favorite annotating pen (or just use the “notes” app in your phone) because your TBR is about to get even longer! If that’s possible.

Today Ashley and Liz are recapping ALL of their reads from the last ½ of 2024 to give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. The books that changed our lives, the books that were overhyped, underhyped, the rereads, the weird as hell, and maybe even some we wished we hadn’t read at all. 😬

There may be tiny, useless, out of context irrelevant “spoilers” but we think you’ll be okay to soldier on. Each book gets one sentence, and a star rating. With as little other information as possible. If we leave you waiting to know more, remember to search our catalog of 50+ episodes because at this point there is a VERY good chance we did a deep dive (our version) of the book you're looking for. There may even be an author interview just waiting for you to discover it.

And don’t worry, we’ve got a faves and fails of our vacation together, and a smash or pass involving a big ship and the many faces of one of our favorite comedians.
