Bonus Episode: End of Year Wrap Up 2023
1h 10m · PublishedHappy (belated) New Year! We know it's been a while but welcome back to another episode! Today we're sharing our 2023 reads and catching up on life, from our new favorite rom-coms (Check and Mate by Ali Hazelwood and Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams) to music artists (Noah Kahan, Laufey, V, etc). Please enjoy this episode and stay tuned for more book reviews!
Chapter 55: Spanish Boys | The American Roommate Experiment
1h 1m · PublishedAfter a long drought, Book Expectations is back with another book review! Today we'll be discussing "The American Roommate Experiment" by Elena Armas, which is an adorable (if not cuter) sequel to "The Spanish Love Deception". We fantasize about our dream dates and bitterly reflect on how unrealistic Lucas Martín is. Not only does "The American Roommate Experiment" feed our delusional hearts but it also opens the door for discussions about studying abroad, attractive accents, and somehow BTS. As mentioned in the episode, be sure to listen to our book-inspired playlists on Spotify: Book Expectations. We hope you enjoy this fun episode and we'll try to post more often again!

1h 7m · PublishedEmily Henry Fan Account | Beach Read
1h 0m · PublishedIn this episode, we go over one of our favorite books: Beach Read! We gush over Emily Henry's writing and her quotes that make our expectations for boys way too high. We go over our favorite things that a guy can do, like playing piano, and Isabel goes over her list of the most attractive thing a guy can do. We discuss how Beach Read is essentially trauma disguised as a romcom, and how we need to protect Gus at all costs.

Bonus Episode: End of Year Wrap Up 2022
1h 21m · PublishedWelcome to 2023! In this episode, we reflect upon our favorite reads, characters, music, movies, and TV shows of 2022. From aggressive rereads to newfound loves, we really went through it this year! We also reference our mid-year wrap up so go and give it a listen to see how much we've changed in this short period of time! Thanks for listening to Book Expectations this year and we will continue trying to produce content that you all enjoy!
Bonus Episode: If you know you know...
1h 13m · PublishedThis week we decided to do an episode suggested by a fan! We matched Taylor Swift's new album Midnights with books and kdramas that have the same storyline. Tune in for the controversial opinions on many of the Midnight songs like Bejeweled and Sweet Nothing while also having lots of fun pairing them with the many books we love. We mention books like Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, It Ends With Us, Inheritance Games, and kdramas like 2521 and Hometown Cha Cha Cha!
Bonus Episode: First Line Challenge
1h 22m · PublishedThis week we partake in an oldie but goodie BookTube challenge: the first line challenge! Each of us took the first line from a book and the other two had to guess which book that line was from. Tensions were high as our competitive spirits rose and Isabel got cheated out of one too many points. Listen to hear Doris somehow get the most obscure lines right and Isabel's redemption arc!

Chapter 53: Animal Jammers | Carrie Soto is Back
1h 11m · PublishedWelcome back to another episode! This week, we discuss Taylor Jenkins Reid's most recent release, Carrie Soto is Back. And, indeed, the b**** is back and better than ever. Carrie's story is captivating and all three of us note how pleasantly surprised we were when we became invested in the world of tennis (despite our bad experiences involving it). We also somehow sidetrack to our Animal Jam past and reminisce about our favorite mini-games, feelings of superiority, and bad financial decisions. Unsurprisingly, we also plug the book playlists that we created recently that you can view here: Book Expectations.
Chapter 52: Wait... She's 6'3?! | Sorcery of Thorns
1h 10m · PublishedThis week's episode is an exciting one because we are finally talking about a fantasy novel, Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson, instead of another classic rom-com! Doris talks about how excited she was when she found another fantasy novel to hyper-fixate on and Isabel recaps the traumatic rash she endured while reading this book. We discuss how Sorcery of Thorns has the perfect structure as a fantasy stand-alone, solving all of our series commitment issues (book puns!). We also get into a heated argument about what it actually means to be a YA novel. Listen to this episode to see us gush over the book's aesthetic, seriously judge Isabel's TikTok For You page, and reminisce over our past book Pinterest boards.
