Bound Sisters

Assistant to the Villain

By Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Picked by Kellye

Do you prefer a villain? Or a hero? We asked this question in a poll and I was surprised that 60% said hero! (Weird I know) Personally I love a good villain redemption arc 😆 I do have some specific stipulations for said villain, the biggest one being, that he’s not an ACTUAL psychopath, sociopath, sick or deranged human 😅 also that he’s fictional 🤣🤣 that one might be obvious but I’d wager it’s easier to like a fictional bad guy than a REAL monster of a person.

•••

My sisters and I talked about this and more in our NEWEST EPISODE out TODAY!

•••

For our book club this month we read what could only be considered, a rom com fantasy, Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer.

•••

Which to go along with this year’s genre diversity challenge, is obviously a fantasy.

••

Go give us a listen!! We even had a surprise special guest pop in for a second 🐶😆

Aetherbound

by E.K. Johnston

Picked by Myranda

It’s the last Sunday of June which means, a NEW PODCAST EPISODE!

••

This month’s book we read “Aerherbound” by E.K. Johnston

••

Which, to go along with our Genre diversity challenge we are doing this year, is considered to be Sci-Fi

••

We got our first question submission from a follower and fellow podcaster @stories.and.spoilers.podcast so that was exciting 😁🫶🏻 thank you so much for that!

••

This episode we talked about..

The difference between Sci-fi and fantasy and what is it called when the book is kind of both? 🤔

•

Our favorite parts in the book

•

Finding a family and the impact someone could have on the life of another person

•

How anyone who was suppose to have lost life did not in fact lose life

•

Some people are just not cut out for the supervillain life..

•

That this is a fantastic read for older teens, (16+, there is some closed door physical intimacy) but we’re finding we needed more information as adults with fully formed prefrontal cortexes

This book talks a lot about mental health struggles and has some intense moments of anxiety, and compulsive disorders that may be triggering for some.

••

This story is thick with the experience of its main character Aza’s challenges with her mental health.

by Anni Taylor

Picked by Myranda

*TRIGGER WARNINGS*

We’re discussing a book that contains content such as child sexual assault, abuse, child abuse, pedophilia, self-harm, suicide and attempted suicide, violence, kidnapping and abduction, and death and dying.

We do not go into any depth or discuss details of these events during this podcast.

The book discussed is not suitable for persons under 18. Reader discretion is advised.

Happy PODCAST DAY!!!

••

How do you feel about spoilers? Personally I love them 😂

This is not a joke!

I intentionally seek them out

especially if a character I love “dies”, I’ll look it up, just so I know I can move on with the rest of the story, it helps me sleep at night 🤣

••

For anyone who DOES NOT like spoilers, you should read this book BEFORE you listen to the podcast 🤪

••

There were a few “that would never happen” moments, and at least one “what in the actual heck?” 😂

••

We’re diving in and talking about this pretty intense mystery! The ending is something you’d never expect!! We definitely didn’t see it coming!

••

Just to recap, we are following along with a genre reading challenge. For April we read a Mystery, Stranger in the Woods written by Anni Taylor

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Memoir

picked by Kellye

If you haven’t heard, this year we are following along with a genre reading challenge. For March we read Mindy Kaling’s memoir “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?”

••

None of us had ever read a memoir before this so our expectations were… non-existent 😆

••

Considering it was non-fiction, Mindy made this book a super lighthearted and easy read! Her story telling style is so funny and relatable. It’s almost like you’re sitting down having lunch and laughing with a friend! Or a sister 😉

••

We loved Mindy’s stories and had a fun conversation about how we’d have no problem with any of our girls looking up to her!

••

But also, serious question that is still unanswered for me… how are young people just affording to be unemployed and living in New York City!?

••

Listen to the show and join the conversation! We’d love to hear what you think! Leave us a comment down below or even a review on our podcast😁 let us hear what you think about this month’s episode!

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory

Romance

picked by Myranda

its PODCAST DAY!!!

••

If you haven’t heard, this year we are following along with a genre reading challenge. February’s genre was Romance.

••

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory was supposed to be “The Princess Diaries” meets “The Royal We”…

••

We decided it was more like “The Princess Diaries 2” but if the cranky uncle was actually a twisted, murderous body guard working for a member of parliament bent on, over throwing the crown.. and Chris Pine’s character was actually a hunky Scottish intelligence agent… and also his brother.. and the grandmother/queen wasn’t Julie Andrews but the grandma from “Encanto”… and instead of Princess Mia actually being capable of running a make believe country she was a flighty, slightly snobby, royal who wants to be a better future queen, but not ‘til later..🤣🤣🤣

••

If that made as much sense to you as it did to us… Come hang out and find out what the heck we’re saying about another crazy book mash up!!

••

We had a lot of fun with this episode

so. much. laughing… 😂🤣

Like She Owns the Place by Cara Alwill Leyba

Sel-Help

picked by Jyl

This year we’re trying something kind of fun.. a book challenge!!

Every month is assigned a genre or sub genre and the “picker” for the month has to stick to that guideline when selecting that months book!

•

January’s book was personal development. (Cliché? Maybe… probably 😂)

•

We read “Like She Owns the Place: Give Yourself the Gift of Confidence and Ignite Your Inner Magic” written by Cara Alwill Leyba

•

This book wasn’t exactly what we expected it to be… but here are a few of our favorite snippets…

•

“Rather than faking it till you make it… believe it and then be it”

•

“Why are we our harshest critics when we’re trying to change for the better? “

•

“Get crystal clear on what you value… once you know what you deserve, and [what you] really believe.. you’ll stop apologizing for things that aren’t your problem [within your control].”

•

Tune in! We can’t wait to hear what you think this month at book club!!

The desire to be heard and cared for, while also highlighting the reciprocity of listening and caring for others in return.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?

Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.

Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.

That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.

Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.

But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman.

The Owens sisters confront the challenges of life and love in this bewitching novel from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman.

For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape.

One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic...

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing The Girls Weekend by Jody Gehrmam

June Moody, a thirty-something English professor, just wants to get away from her recent breakup and reunite with girlfriends over summer break. Her old friend and longtime nemesis, Sadie MacTavish, a mega-successful author, invites June and her college friends to a baby shower at her sprawling estate in the San Juan Islands. June is less than thrilled to spend time with Sadie--and her husband, June's former crush--but agrees to go.

The party gets off to a shaky start when old grudges resurface, but when they wake the next morning, they find something worse: Sadie is missing, the house is in shambles, and bloodstains mar the staircase. None of them has any memory of the night before; they wonder if they were drugged. Everyone's a suspect. Since June had a secret rendezvous with Sadie's husband, she has plenty of reason to suspect herself. Apparently, so do the cops.

A Celtic knot of suspense and surprise, this brooding, atmospheric novel will keep you guessing as each twist reveals a new possibility. It will remind you of friendships hidden in the depths of your own past, and make you wonder how well you really know the people you've loved the longest.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead.

Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet fishing village. Kya Clark is barefoot and wild; unfit for polite society. So in late 1969, when the popular Chase Andrews is found dead, locals immediately suspect her.

But Kya is not what they say. A born naturalist with just one day of school, she takes life's lessons from the land, learning the real ways of the world from the dishonest signals of fireflies. But while she has the skills to live in solitude forever, the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. Drawn to two young men from town, who are each intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world—until the unthinkable happens.

This month join Kellye, Jyl, and Myranda in reading and discussing The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle by Jennifer Ryan.

After renowned fashion designer Cressida Westcott loses both her home and her design house in the London Blitz, she has nowhere to go but the family manor house she fled decades ago. Praying that her niece and nephew will be more hospitable than her brother had been, she arrives with nothing but the clothes she stands in, at a loss as to how to rebuild her business while staying in a quaint country village.

Her niece, Violet Westcott, is thrilled that her famous aunt is coming to stay—the village has been interminably dull with all the men off fighting. But just as Cressida arrives, so does Violet's conscription letter. It couldn't have come at a worse time; how will she ever find a suitably aristocratic husband if she has to spend her days wearing a frumpy uniform and doing war work?

Meanwhile, the local vicar's daughter, Grace Carlisle, is trying in vain to repair her mother's gown, her only chance of a white wedding. When Cressida Westcott appears at the local Sewing Circle meeting, Grace asks for her help—but Cressida has much more to teach the ladies than just simple sewing skills. Before long, Cressida's spirit and ambition galvanizes the village group into action, and they find themselves mending wedding dresses not only for local brides, but for brides across the country. And as the women dedicate themselves to helping others celebrate love, they might even manage to find it for themselves.
