    Show notes

    Fran, Gia and Kelly discuss the onslaught of new Book/Movie/TV Show adaptation news as well as their opinions on the genre markets right now.

  3. The Calamity Club - Full Book Review - September 2026

    Show notes

    The girls opened their September books and headed on down to Oxford, Mississippi for their latest book journey, a long and twisted tale of Birdie Calhoun’s life in the 1930s with ‘The Calamity Club.’ Fran, Gia and Kelly get into a thoughtful discussion about the complex characters written by ‘The Help’ author Kathryn Stockett; the chilling details of misogyny, prejudice, racism and neglect inspired by a real law passed in 1928, makes for a long story of growth, oppression, overcoming obstacles, and somehow, even a little humor.

  4. Summer Is Over and the Book Club Has Gone Full Fantasy Ahead of September’s Book Discussion

    Show notes

    Happy September from your favorite book girlies! The Same Page Book Club kicks off the month with a check in on where we all are in our fantasy journeys, as well as a catch up on a few beach reads before the end of the season. Combing through the Sarah J Maas books looking for clues before the double header later this year, we make sure we will have all bases covered! Tread carefully for Throne Of Glass, ACOTAR and Crescent City spoilers. After lots of excited feedback, we’re all looking forward to the breakdown of September’s book, The Calamity Club, next episode.

  5. Into the Blue - Full Book Review - August 2026

    Show notes

    We’re back with our August book review and boy are we glad we changed our reading rules! Fran, Gia and Kelly unanimously agreed that Into the Blue by Emma Brodie was both a page turner and a tear jerker. Grief, humor, sex, show business - AJ and Noah went through it ALL. The girls have a thoughtful discussion about being in the shoes of either protagonist through some of the highest highs and lowest lows we’ve ever seen anyone write about, and ultimately how touching the story ended up being by the end. One of our SPBC hosts even hands out her first five star review! Be sure to check our socials for the rest of our book schedule for the fall, and happy reading!
