Books I Can't Stop Thinking About (Episode 9)

I was going to do an episode on my favorite books, but that felt like a lot of pressure, so instead I’m talking about the books that have taken over my brain. Mostly romantasy. Some straight romance. Some books with dragons. We get into ACOTAR, The Otacian Chronicles, Drive, Binding 13, Fourth Wing, audiobooks that gave me the ick, and my very serious plea to authors to please stop making the girls sixteen and the men one thousand years old. Add your favorite books in the comments because I’m always looking for new reads / fictional characters to become emotionally dependent on.
