   Devour Me: Love, Lust, and Losing Control | ARC Review

   This week on Reading Materials we dive into Devour Me by Emily Rath! We're unpacking the three main characters, debating whether the insta-lust had us hooked or reaching for the brakes, and sharing our thoughts on the magic system. But the conversation doesn't stop there! We also tackle a bigger question: how young is too young to be reading books with sexually explicit content, and where should the responsibility lie?

   Porcupines: Family, Friendship, and Finding Your Way | ARC Review

   This week on Reading Materials, we’re talking about Porcupines by Fran Fabriczki — a story that takes us through complicated mother-daughter relationships, school trips, and lives unfolding across different timelines. We chat about the messy realities of family relationships, how the past can shape the present, and whether jumping between timelines adds to a story or leaves us scrambling to keep up. Plus, we revisit the unique chaos of school trips and all the questionable decisions that seem to come with them.
