2023 Wrapped | Fantasy & Romance Reads Edition

Shelf Addiction Podcast

In this podcast episode, Tamara and Casey wrap up their annual fantasy series and romance book chat. They discuss the series they read throughout the year, including the Red Rising trilogy by Pierce Brown, the duology These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan, and the Crowns of Niaxia duology by Carissa Broadbent. They also share their best and worst books of the year, with Red Rising being the standout favorite. The book club discussions for Red Rising and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros were particularly engaging and memorable. In this conversation, Tamara and Casey discuss their mixed feelings about a book, the worst book they read, and their thoughts on book adaptations. They also talk about their personal reading goals for the year and set podcast goals for the upcoming year. The conversation concludes with a wrap-up of the year and a look forward to future episodes.
