✨ Episode 14: Out of This World ✨
Buckle up, because this week we’re peeking way into the future — like, Kasie’s 2026 journal prep level of future. (Spoiler: it may or may not involve stickers, pens, and a prophecy or two.)
Meanwhile, Rachel embarked on a three-hour IKEA odyssey — not just for furniture, but to pour her heart into building a book nook just for us. It’s cozy, creative, and ready to be the backdrop for all our future videos (and maybe a few dramatic readings of instruction manuals).
And then… things get cosmic. We’re taking a deep dive into Any Weir’s Hail Mary project — because if anyone can launch a last-ditch space mission with questionable snacks, it’s us.
It’s part journaling séance, part IKEA survival guide, part intergalactic group project. Basically: totally normal. 🚀✨

"Coo-Coo Ka-Choo" 🚁✨🪐Hold onto your trench coats and coffee cups, book gang—this week we’re coo-coo for cosmic mysteries and literary magic!
We kick things off with some juicy deets on the upcoming Epic Universe preview (spoiler alert: nerdy squealing may occur). Then it’s double deep-dive time: first into the magical alleyways of The Golem and the Djinni by Helene Wecker, and then into the raw, eerie vibes of The Bones Beneath My Skin by T.J. Klune—brace yourselves, the ratings might just cause an existential crisis.
It’s bookish chaos, caffeinated commentary, and cosmic confusion as always.

🎙️ Episode 9: “Savage Grinding at Sunrise Reaping”
In the first very chaotic 10 minutes, Kasie burns something in the kitchen (again), Rachel channels French work-life balance wisdom, and a snack taste test spins wildly out of control. Also: solid plans are made to see Welcome to NightVale and David Sedaris live—because obviously.
In Rachel’s Reads, we break down The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey featuring Sir Savage from Boston, who’s hot, broody, and apparently into fully clothed grinding. Rachel’s not having it. “Is this a Hallmark movie or adult fiction?” she demands.
Then we deep dive into Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins. Five stars. Wonderfully tragic. And yes, Lenora Dove is the unlikable girlfriend we can’t stop talking about. Who do you root for when everyone’s destined to die?!
Up & Coming: 🦴 The Bones Beneath My Skin—featuring Artemis, who might be Darth Vader’s moody, literary cousin 🔍 A David Baldacci thriller that has us yelling at the pages
Hot takes, fire hazards, and full-body bookish chaos. Grab your coffee, your journal, and your emotional support snack. You’re gonna need 'em.

Episode 8: This is Gasp! (Pad Thai p.2)Buckle up, bookish space cadets—things are about to get extra. This week, we attempted a civilized book club discussion, but this is Gasp! Off the Rails in the Cosmos, so you already know: decorum doesn’t stand a chance.
We meant to talk about:
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Orbital by Samantha Harvey
Welcome to Nightvale
The Answer is No by Fredrik Backman
Kasie dishes on The Answer is No, picking up where Rachel’s hot take left off last episode (hit rewind if you missed it!). We also spiral into future reads like Siddhartha, The Lost Realms by Zecharia Sitchin, Sunrise on the Reaping, and The Bones Beneath My Skin. Oh—and Rachel? She’s clocked over 30 books since January. Casual.
📚 BONUS CHAOS: Mid-episode, an impromptu book rave breaks out when a group of women at the next table overhears us talking about time travel in cafes. Suddenly, it’s a full-on literary flash mob with hot takes
Kate Quinn’s historical rabbit holes
And some guy named Kormac... Kormick... Cormac McCarthy? (Sorry, literary gods.)
We did not plan this. It was glorious.
⚠️ Warning: Contains wildly off-topic tangents, spicy literary side-eye, surprise restaurant book debates, and enough chaos to short-circuit your starship’s navigation. Pour yourself a cosmic cup of coffee and enjoy the wormhole ride.

Episode name “Blame it on the Pad Thai”
It’s a full-on nostalgia meltdown! We’re talking McDonald’s, Barbies, Garbage Pail Kids, Cabbage Patches, baseball cards…….. Plus: the legend of Grandma Honeycutt & the The Hocksters. Take a peek into our childhood collections.
Rachel shares her bookish roots as an English teacher, we count the sugar cubes in soda (yikes), and yes—we’ve got books to review!
The only show where all this lives in perfect, chaotic harmony.
This week, we kick things off with the eternal struggle: what size should your book journal actually be? We’re talking grids vs. dots, chaotic tabs, washi tape ambitions, and how we each track our reading lives (or try to).
Then it’s time for The PTA Meeting—our name for this week’s literary lineup:
Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor (weird, wonderful, weatherless)
Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey by Hayden Carruth (yes, it’s poetry, and yes, it’s got kick)
Wings of Fire: The Graphic Novel by Tui T. Sutherland (dragons. DRAGONS.)
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell (twisty and terrifying, in the best way)
The Songbird and the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent (gothic fairy tale realness)
The Answer Is No by Fredrik Backman (short stories that don’t mess around)
It’s journals, jokes, and just enough literary chaos to keep things interesting. Bring your favorite pen, your beverage of choice, and a healthy fear of PTA meetings.

Sweaty workouts meet spicy ’90s reads. The Gift tangles with Freida McFadden, Suzy Toronto vibes, Wearing the Lion ARCs, curses break, Sendak stirs, and robots ride magic carpets as we sip through our tangled, ink-soaked chaos—no backies, and we mean it. Our discussions? Well, they might just dive into wacky word origins, touch upon Greek mythology, and definitely involve the enjoyment of chocolate mouses with a French roasted coffee.

A Latte to Discuss
*Note - our guest was unexpected and we had only 2 mics. Please forgive the first 5 minutes of audio, but its worth it!
On this week's episode, we’re joined by a surprise guest, have an impromptu French lesson, props to D&D, chat about kazoos, and, of course, bring you bold conversation on all things books and storytelling. We’ve got A Latte to Discuss—so let's spill some ink!
