Books Around the Block
We’re Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay—three neighbors who can’t stop talking about books, so we’re bringing the conversation to you. Each episode, we’ll dive into the stories we love (and maybe a few we don’t), mixing fun with literary insight. So get ready to laugh, add to your TBR, and join the discussion—because in our neighborhood, a good book is always just around the block.

Chapter 21: The Back to School Booklist You Actually Want
Back to school season is here, but we’re leaving the textbooks behind. In this episode, we’re diving into the most atmospheric school-setting books. Think dark academia, boarding school, and college—from twisty thrillers and chilling horrors to swoony romances. Whether it’s haunted hallways, secret societies, or forbidden love behind ivy-covered walls, these stories prove school is anything but boring.
