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.

Chapter 63: Books We Regret Reading (& Books We'd Read Again for the First Time)
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, the three of us each share two unforgettable reads: one book we wish we could permanently wipe from our memory because we hated it, and one book we wish we could erase just so we could experience reading it for the very first time again.
From disappointing books that didn't live up to the hype to all-time favorite novels that gave us book hangovers, we're sharing our most memorable reading regrets and our most beloved book recommendations. Expect plenty of strong opinions, passionate defenses, and a few controversial picks along the way.
Whether you're looking for book recommendations, wondering which popular books might not be worth the hype, or searching for your next five-star read, this episode is packed with discussion about the best books we've ever read and the books we'd rather forget.
