Books Around the Block
We’re Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay—three neighbors who can’t stop talking about books, so we’re bringing the conversation to you. Each episode, we’ll dive into the stories we love (and maybe a few we don’t), mixing fun with literary insight. So get ready to laugh, add to your TBR, and join the discussion—because in our neighborhood, a good book is always just around the block.
Books Around the Block
Chapter 43: Overhyped, Underhyped, and Appropriately Hyped Books
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Books Around the Block, we’re breaking down books that are overhyped, underhyped, and appropriately hyped. Each of us brings one book for each category, sharing honest reactions, hot takes, and the kind of bookish opinions you’d only say out loud to neighbors you trust.
If you’ve ever wondered which popular books are actually worth reading, which underrated books deserve more attention, or whether the hype is real or wildly exaggerated, this episode is for you.
Grab your TBR and settle in. Things get opinionated.
