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.

In this monthly reading wrap-up episode of Books Around the Block, we’re sharing our best and worst books of the month of May… the ones we loved, the ones we didn’t, and the ones we cannot stop thinking about.
We break down everything we read in May with honest, unfiltered reviews, from standout 5-star favorites to the biggest disappointments. If you’re looking for real opinions before adding books to your TBR, this episode is packed with must-read recommendations and a few you might want to skip.
We also share two books we’re planning to read in June, giving you a preview of our upcoming TBR. We also reveal Lindsay's birthday read, and she's not happy.
