#13: Fall Reading Challenge, Spooky vs. Cozy TBRs, and The Love Hypothesis Adaptation

Lauren and Garri kick off The Everygirl Book Club’s October solo episode by discussing current reads, including the October pick And He Shall Appear, and disappointment with the Fourth Wing short-story collection Threshing Day. They note recent four-star reads, share ambitious October TBRs, then review The Love Hypothesis movie adaptation. They reveal a fall reading challenge with themed categories, debate cozy vs. scary fall tastes, create the perfect fall TBR, and close with LITigation on TBR pressure and whether readers must read other Sarah J. Maas series before the next ACOTAR release.
