It Gets Good

Micaela is back to discuss our October book club, Sense and Sensibility! She was supposed to discuss some highlights of her Italy trip but forgot so stay tuned for that at some point! We all really enjoyed the movie and Kyleigh and Hannah enjoyed the book as well.

Well, the day we thought we'd never see is finally here… Micaela has left the podcast! For one whole week. Yes, we're being dramatic, but we love our girl!

Kyleigh and Hannah hold down the fort in today's episode as they chat about everything from the latest additions to their TBRs to their very strong feelings about Ciera being voted off DWTS.

Don't worry, Micaela will be back next week for our book club episode on Sense and Sensibility! Spoiler alert: she hasn't actually read the book (with our full permission, of course).

WAY back in the day (Episode 11, to be exact!), we played Would You Rather with some bookish questions, and we decided it was time to bring it back for Episode 185! A huge thank-you to everyone who submitted questions! We had so much fun answering them, and clearly, you know us well because so many of your questions revolved around Alchemised and just how much we disliked it. Needless to say, your submissions gave us a good laugh!

Be sure to grab a copy of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and join us for our October Book Club!

Well… we're back with another cursed book club read: Verity by Colleen Hoover. We would like to formally apologize to everyone who read this book and didn't like it, we're sorry we made you read this. For those of you who enjoyed it, listen with caution because we did not have great things to say about both the book and movie!

We're crossing our fingers that next month's book club, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, will treat us a little better.

We have a random little episode for you today! We're chatting about some book news, answering a few questions from listeners, and, as per usual, going off on plenty of random tangents along the way. Basically, it's a little bit of everything.

And because no episode would be complete without some kind of chaos, you also get to experience Micaela discovering a spider by her live on the pod.

Today, we're hopping on the "You Couldn't Pay Us To…" trend! Are we a little late? Yes. Did that stop us? Absolutely not. In a shocking turn of events, we spend most of this episode talking about literally anything except the actual topic. We cover book news, the new Dancing with the Stars cast, and, of course, we had to spend some time talking about Lando Norris.

True to the It Gets Good fashion, we all came into this episode with completely different ideas of how to structure our lists… and, naturally, chaos ensues. We're all over the place in this one, but honestly, we had such a great time recording it, and we hope you have just as much fun listening!

While we all agreed the writing was beautiful and poetic, the story itself fell flat. We also share a bit of bookish news in this episode, so even if you didn't read this month's pick, we hope you'll still tune in!
