Besties and the Books Podcast

Author: Besties and the Books

Were Ashley and Liz, two real-life besties whove loved books since we first learned to read, so naturally, we started a podcast! We would say the rest is history but in actuality, it's just the beginning. So come join us in the next chapter of our lives as we introduce ourselves, and laugh our way through the world of books with a focus on Fantasy, Romantasy, and Dark Romance. Of course we have love for all book genres, but those are our absolute favorites!  Don't be shy, subscribe!

Ep 128 👻 🎃 SPOOKY STORIES + Guessing *1 STAR* Horror Book Reviews!
Episode 128
Wednesday, 23 September, 2026

Send us Fan MailIt’s the most wonderful time of the year! The season of the crows has officially returned and as slightly spooky, elder emo, introverted book girls, it’s our time to shine. We invite you to cozy up with a blanket and a crispy Alani, light that overpriced candle, and watch Edward Cullen lean his awkward fingers against tables and trees in the background while we talk fall. (It’s like talking “shop” or “business” but much more serious.) Because we have a fever, and the only prescription is more Halloween! Today is a no-homework-required mess-around. We chat about this year’s fall hopefuls, favorite recent spooky reads, and then have some fun guessing popular horror books and movies based off of one star reviews. We even add in some spooky stories from Reddit and a smash or pass to fit the season. We hope this episode gets you in the mood and helps ward off the impending darkness-at-5pm doom.
