#157 - Reading Popular Books When They’re Popular
That sweet feeling of reading a book when it’s popular… is there anything like it? Maybe! But Ariel did it this week with “I’m Glad My Mom Died” and she’s never felt more relevant. Raeleen is deep into her horror reading… is it too soon? Are the pumpkin spiced lattes she’s drinking going to last until actual Halloween?

#96 - The Mood Reader Tag! Are We Mood Readers?
Are we mood readers? What does that mean? How does it affect what we read? We had lots of fun with this tag!
Slanted Spines (Original Tag Creator): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mhq-AXn3A0
A Book Olive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QJ8LxKCnP8
Questions:
1. Do you consider yourself a mood reader?
2. Do you set TBR lists and do you stick to them?
3. Do books affect you emotionally? Does the mood of a book rub off on you?
4. When you’re feeling sad, what do you read? (Or do you not read when sad?)
5. Most often, do you use reading to escape, to learn, or to critically reflect?
6. What is a book that made you laugh out loud?
7. What is a book that has made you cry? Or, if you don’t cry, one that really moved you?
8. What is a book that you didn’t even know how you felt about?
9. Are you more likely to read on a sunny day or a cloudy day?
10. Do you usually “set the mood” when you read? Music, lights, smells, etc?
11. Can you leap from book to book or do you need buffer time between them?

#5 - Deckled Edges vs Normal Pages and Underhyped Books!
It’s time for our first ever debate: we are tackling deckled edges versus normal pages… what side are you on?! We also recommend under hyped books, books with beautiful writing, and stories that have small town vibes like Gilmore Girls!
