Ep 35 Reacting to Bookish HOT TAKES from the dregs of Reddit & Threads!

Ashley and Liz just got back from the When We Were Young fest and boy do we have some good faves and fails of the week, including Gerard Way’s sexy hair swoop heard ‘round the world. After we hash THAT out for all of our collective enjoyment, we get into our hot takes.

We’ve got some from Reddit, we’ve got some from Threads… and we need to know. Do you agree or disagree? Should you count a book as “read” toward your goal if you DNFed it? Can something be overrated? Or is it just good? Do books need more than good twists to make them good? Was Fourth Wing actually BAD? We’ve got these and so many more.

And don’t worry, we’ve got a smash or pass with a dragon with no teeth and a man with no head.
