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 37: Short Books to Help You Hit Your Year-End Reading Goals
We are sprinting to the finish line with a stack of short books under 300 pages that will help you crush those end-of-year reading goals. Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay share their favorite quick hits, the tiny book recs with big vibes in the best ways.
We also dive into Brimstone by Callie Hart and break down the editing controversy that has taken over BookTok. Audrey’s reaction is priceless and completely justified. If you have been wondering what actually happened, we unpack it all.
Grab a cozy drink and a tiny book, and join us around the block.
