Join your hosts Kim and Nia as we discuss The Blood Trials by N.E. Davenport! This Sci-Fi/Fantasy may just be our favorite book on the show this year. We follow Ikenna Amari, reeling after the unexpected death of her grandfather, Verne Amari. When she discovers that his passing may have been a murder, she enlists in the trials to become a Praetorian guard and find whoever's responsible. We had quite the adventure with this action-packed story, characters, and world. And we held nothing back.

Sutanto, we're talking destination weddings! Would we have one? Since we're both Caribbean, would it be on our respective islands or anywhere else in the world? And if so, where? Tune in to check out our responses and let us know if you'd have a destination wedding! As always, follow us on Instagram and check out our website, for all the latest updates!

Join your hosts Kim and Nia as we chat and mostly laugh about our latest read! We had such a fun time last year reading Dial A for Aunties and expected nothing less from Sutanto with Four Aunties & A Wedding. Meddy, Nathan, and the Aunts are back. This time, Meddy's the bride! She and Nathan are having a destination wedding in Oxford, England. Cue the new wedding vendors! Staphanie, who just like Meddy, is the photographer and with her uncles and Ama seem to be the perfect fit for the job. But what if there's more than meets the eye? Will this wedding go off without a hitch or can we expect some crazy wedding hijinks for the record books?
