Welcome to our first Stacks on Stacks episode, a once-a-month book club. We started this to help us conquer that never-ending TBR, talk more with you, and abbreviate it as “S.O.S.” because yes send help! We will never finish our TBR at this rate!! We announce our “SOS” read at the beginning of each month, inviting you to read, listen, and talk with us on Instagram or Discord about that month's "SOS" book. Bride is Ali Hazelwood's launch into the paranormal romance with all the humor and charm from her romantic hits like Love Hypothesis and Love Theoretically. We break down the story, our thoughts, and overall review of this HIT of a novel. Join us next month with our "SOS" The Idea of You by Robinne Lee.

It's been fun talking about the spicier side of reading with all of you!
