Emma Scovill talks about all of the books she has read once or maybe twice or maybe a hundred times. This podcast is full of spoilers as she doesn't hold back on what happens in the book or what her opinion is either.
A Very Unique Fantasy Novel (The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi - Shannon Chakraborty)
On the heels of one of the more average fantasy novels I've read recently, I picked up one of the most unique fantasy novels I've ever read. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty follows the titular character, a 40-year-old mother who is both a pirate and a devout Muslim, as she comes out of retirement for one last job. I spend time detailing the many unique facets of this novel, talk about the pacing, and discuss the role religion played in this book.

Another Average Fantasy Novel (The Liar’s Crown - Abigail Owen)
Rounding out my vacation reads is The Liar's Crown by Abigail Owen. This YA/NA fantasy novel follows Meren, a secret princess, after she is kidnapped prior to her sister's coronation. I explore the one innovative plot idea in this book, pose multiple questions about the curse that makes no sense to me, and explain the standard fantasy tropes we see in this book that are used all the time.

My First Tessa Bailey Book! (Secretly Yours - Tessa Bailey)
I finally got on the Tessa Bailey train and picked up her newest novel Secretly Yours. It follows Hallie as she reeks havoc on a wine tasting business and writes secret admirer letters to her high school crush Julian. I talk about reading a Tessa Bailey book for the first time, go over why I thought this book was a blast, and complain about the cover.
