    97: Rewind, Repeat in "Tower of Dawn"
    Jul 15 2024
    Many people credit "Tower of Dawn" as their least favorite book in the Throne of Glass series. It does totally re-cover the entire time period of the previous book but from a different POV and setting. Does it deserve all the hate it gets?

    96: One Dark Fairytale in "One Dark Window"
    Jul 8 2024
    "One Dark Window" would do the Brothers Grimm proud. It's a gateway fantasy book that could appeal to anyone with an extremely unique magic system and a fairytale world. Do the Busy Girls all agree for once?

    94: Heartache and "The Song of Achilles"
    Jun 24 2024
    It's another Madeline Miller episode. Though, "The Song of Achilles" is much more melancholy than "Circe." It's a love story - but most people already know how this one ends. Is it still worth the read?

    93: Satire and Tropes Abound in "Assistant to the Villain"
    Jun 17 2024
    If you love the quirky side of BookTok, you'll probably love "Assistant to the Villain." It's a cozy fantasy that sort of makes fun of all the usual fantasy and romance tropes but somehow ends up still being sweet. Even Casey didn't hate it. (Though, she didn't really like it either...)

    92: A Pulitzer-level Look at Appalachia in "Demon Copperhead"
    Jun 10 2024
    Barbara Kingsolver's "Demon Copperhead" is a beast of a book. It took the Busy Girls ages to read, but they all agree it's worth it. The look at the opioid crisis in 90s Appalachia is so well-written and moving. Though, it may not be the book for busy readers.
