We barely read this month and somehow had more to say than ever. This is our June wrap up and July TBR, and it got existential fast.

Cassie went down a full Carly Fortune rabbit hole (Every Summer After, One Golden Summer, Our Perfect Storm) and has thoughts on where to actually start. We both got completely wrecked by The Midnight Train by Matt Haig, the companion to The Midnight Library. And we finally talk about the Siren Mage duology by Kalie Cassidy, because In the Wake of the Ruined drops in July and the yearning genuinely changed us.

Plus the Every Year After adaptation that broke our hearts (and not in the good way), House of the Dragon season three, and the July TBR we are absolutely going to lie to ourselves about.

In this episode:
– The Carly Fortune ranking and where not to start
– Why The Midnight Train hit harder than The Midnight Library
– The Siren Mage duology and the best yearning we've read in ages
– When the Moon Hatched: do we agree with BookTok?
– Book vs show: Every Year After, House of the Dragon, Midnight Library
– Our wildly unrealistic July TBR
