It Gets Good

We have a shorty little episode for you today - a mid-year wrap up since we're (almost) half way through 2026! We share our favorite books so far, our fave and least fave adaptations, and more. Micaela even shares her favorite Michael Jackson songs (spoiler alert, it's a long list!)
 
If you haven't heard yet, we're reading The Poet Empress by Shen Tao for our July Book Club. Grab your copy and join us next month!

This week we are chatting about the books we read in May! Hannah had a killer month with a lot of books, Kyleigh also had a great reading month, and Micaela listened to Michael Jackson all month. We chat about some ideas for next episode and also get into a deep dive on one of Hannah's most recent reads.

We start talking about Remarkably Bright Creatures (with spoilers) around the 22 minute mark.
This week we're talking about our March Book Club pick: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt! We had very differing opinions about the book but all really loved the movie! We talk about the movie and book at the same time throughout the episode so make sure you are caught up before listening. We do cover some book news at the start and have to talk about the incredible Michael movie and F1 at the end so there's plenty to enjoy outside of the book chats!
