Marcus Kliewer paints a chilling story of suspense with themes of isolation and mental illness in "The Caretaker". Follow the Rites? Leave the scary house? Engage with The Visitors? Every choice seems like the wrong one, but it keeps the pace fast an... more

Somehow we are here again. Why do so many trendy books involve cannibalism? "The Lamb" is pretty much entirely about the topic. That's all they do. So do the themes the author weaves in help you stomach the constant eating of people?

With hype around the second "Practical Magic" movie sending readers back to the original book, it seemed like the perfect choice to kick off Spooky Season. It's cozy, and witchy and is about girlhood and sisterhood - but is it as exciting as the movi... more

  • So well structured

    I recently got back to reading and when I finish a book I seek out a podcast review. I’ve listened to a few but Busy Girls Book Club is by far the best. I love that the hosts stay on course to answer the prompts, even when they digress it’s not too far off topic and they go straight back to the prompt. 3 people is a perfect balance of differing opinions, and everyone does a good job expressing them. The structure and layered questions guides the conversations so well. Love this podcast and thank... more
