How much reading can you get done in the #booktokmomlife?

 

Summer is chaos, our TBRs are judging us, and we're spilling all the bookish tea in this month's Spill the Book!

In this episode, we're talking about the reality of trying to keep up with reading while the kids are home for summer break, sharing our monthly reading wrap-up, revealing our Book of the Month picks, and putting one of romance's most beloved tropes on trial in Trope Court: Marriage of Convenience.

We also shine a spotlight on two incredible indie releases in our Spill the Indie segment:

📖 The Hundred Lives I Lived Before You by Sean W. Willson - Out Aug 20th 2026

📖 Who's Fixing Who? by Tessa Brookfield - Out Aug 10th 2026

If you love romance books, indie authors, trope discussions, honest reading chats, and plenty of laughs, this episode is for you.
