Wordsluts is like Oprah’s book club without the Oprah and with way more opinions. Long distance besties Kyrie (they/them) and AJ (she/her) talk you through what to read, what to leave on the shelf, and the books we are especially slutty for. We digress about queerness, pop culture, and our favorite tips from our therapists. Because what else are we going to do with our English degrees?
As the we close out the Hunger Games series, we announce our upcoming hiatus for the summer so that AJ may return to the woods. Other media discussions include AJ recapping a Bad Book, and some thoughts on Ali Hazelwood. Thank you for listening!

Bestie Reunion (ft. Josh)
Welcome back dear readers - after much anticipation, the sluts are in person and reunited with a very special guest and bestie: the one and only Zoe. Together they take a new twist on the Drunk Classics, in which they must drink and make their guesses on which classic the other could possibly be talking about. Tangents include vengeful high school teachers, Jude Law vs Aaron Taylor Johnson vs Matt Damon, and much appreciation for Josh Wines.
