The Toast

I've still i read da vinci code this month still haven't well it's a long month it's been a long month i've just been like on such a reading kick.

and then I read The Da Vinci Code. Oh my god. I saw that on your stories and I was crying. I don't know why, but like because it's like a really popular book. It's literally the number one book in the world, like after the Bible probably. And I don't know. It's just like definitely a good book. I loved it. It was super interesting and smart.

the Lost Symbol, which is based on the book by Dan Brown who wrote Da Vinci Code

that i haven't read it's called The Midnight Library by matt haig it's extremely like worldwide best-selling and it seems like there is very danish choicey so if you want to join us it's never too late to become a redhead.

We read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and I'm just gonna give you a little spoiler, which was that all four of us loved it.

it was a book like also about the afterlife. So just really interesting thought provoking discussions about like parallel universes and like what happens when we go and every decision that you make in life, how it affects like the rest of your life,

It's written perfectly. Like there's not a wasted sentence. Love that. Every sentence is packed with meaning.

It's looking like The Midnight Library is going to be the Reader's Choice best book of the year.

Lauren Weisberger, the girl who wrote the book.

Because The Devil Wears Prada. Do you think that Anna and Lauren Weisberger, the girl who wrote the book, are cool?

ann hathaway was not the first pick for devil wears product ninth she was ninth but do you want to know who the first pick was who they offered the role three times they wanted her to play it so badly rachel mcadams yes i did see this news story

rachel mcadams was the first choice for the role of andy director would have been great she would have been amazing that chaotic and morning glory energy

because like she said, you do know ... it's giving me vibes like The Devil Wears Prada

the final 50 shades of gray novel as told by christian gray is coming soon freed 50 shades freed as told by christian the third and final book in el james's bdsm themed trilogy that serves as a spin-off series for her 50 shades of gray trilogy now has a release date june 1st.

And I think about a lot of the movies that are very similar to Twilight that don't have that same it factor because of those reasons. 100%. And the one that really comes to mind is Fifty Shades of Grey. Because in like the tabloids and stuff, like Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan like fucking hate each other. ... The Fifty Shades book had the similar following to Twilight.

Fifty Shades of Grey, but for gay.

The first was We Were Liars or something. Hated. Literally the first couple chapters are introducing like the people in the book and there must be 50 of them. How was anyone supposed to remember that many people?

I started the new Lauren Weisberger book stunk. I started We Were Liars that like everyone on TikTok was like felling over, stunk.

We Were Liars was recommended to me on TikTok and I swear to God it was not in English. I couldn't understand. I was like am I stupid?

I just finished Mariah Carey's memoir, so I've just been in Mariah Carey's canon. The book is amazing. Five stars out of five. So, so good. So powerful. Never been done before.

She wrote about her childhood, the glitter era, emancipation and even titled sections like 'All That Glitters' and 'Sing Sing', which made the book feel like a wellstructured memoir.

And did you know, I found this out in the weirdest way. Mariah's book was published by an imprint at like a big publishing agency started by Andy Cohen. It's Andy books.

The Meaning of Mariah Carey is out now from Andy Cohen books.

Mariah Carey spills all on overbearing marriage to Tommy Mottola, sneaking around with Derek Jeter and more in new memoir. I will 100% be reading this book. Mariah Carey's memoir comes out this month. It's called The Meaning of Mariah Carey, and she apparently allegedly is telling all.

I'm going to read it and it's going to change my life. And I'm so excited. I'm excited because I know what I've been ready to do for a while. I've been ready to stan Mariah Carey.

... watching Nine Perfect Strangers And you just Want to watch stuff ... it turned into A stand up set ...

We're going to talk about Nine Perfect Strangers. I haven't seen it yet and will watch it. I'm so glad I didn't read the book because I'm enjoying the show.

Nine Perfect Strangers by Leanne Moriarty.

I was reading my book last night Rock Paper Scissors it's like this thriller but slow burn it's pretty spooky honestly. Oh so spooky. But it's good and I'm in it and that's all you can ask for out of a book.

I started Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney and it's so far I'm in it I'm good you know but it's just I don't know why I'm like struggling so to find book recommendations.

I finished my book last night Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney. It was a thriller and it was really kind of crazy.

If you're into like the thriller lifestyle and you have patience I would recommend it. I rated it a four but so many people messaged me they're like so curious to hear your thoughts on this book I couldn't even finish it.

By the way there's a book series called The Summer I Turned Pretty and for us it's The Summer I Turned Skinny.

It's called The Summer I Turned Pretty. And it's literally the best book I've ever read in my life.

I think it's meant more for like, like 16 year olds. But I feel like a young girl when I read it. Like it's so good.

I actually was I had that book on my want to read list because I joined a clubhouse with some toasters who read and someone had recommended that and they said it was amazing. And then I saw on my Amazon account that it was bought.

And you know what? I saw The Summer I Turned Pretty? No. It was a new series that Jenny Han launched.

So you were up against The Glass Hotel which I was probably one of the most literary books that we chose.

It was actually a point that we made from one of our books in the Redheads. It was like she, it was actually a terrible, not a terrible book, but it was a little above our Redhead pay grade. But it was from Glass Hotel.

It's like Shadow Island. I would 100% recommend that people read it. It's called The Glass Hotel.

I finished my book The Social Graces about Mrs. Astor and Alba Vanderbilt.

What are you reading? I'm still reading The Social Graces. The social battery? I'm like 65% of the way through. I really like it, honestly.

I started a new book, The Social Graces by Renee Rosen... it's about early 19th century early 20th century New York... they mentioned Mrs. Astor and all the Vanderbilt.

I also am like 30 percent of the way through this book that you recommended, The Lion's Den. Like it's getting better. I just like it might have been me yesterday. I was not in a good reading space and I couldn't get. I don't think it's reflective of the book. I think it's reflective of the space. Well, the book,

Lion's Den. Lion's Den. You guys should read Lion's Den.

I finished my book, The Lion's Den. I finished it at like 10 o'clock. It was so good. You have to read it.

If you like, you know, thriller, mystery and glamour, The Lion's Den by Katherine St. John. It was so good. I went into it totally blind, so I don't want to give anything away, but I just want to say like it just pays off.

I finished Eliza Starts a Rumor, the book you recommended and I have to say I just adored it. It really lived up to the expectations and it breezed right by despite its length.

I gave it four out of five stars but was teetering on five because it was really good. I highly recommend it and warned about a trigger warning for sexual assault content.

By the way, you should read Eliza Starts a Rumor. I was going to say it's like. Oh my God. Yes. You would love it. It was so fucking good.

I actually read her Eliza Starts a Rumor and it was so good. Absolutely loved it. She loved it and what's so funny about it is that at its core it's about a Facebook group.

Or Twice in a Blue Moon. The redheads one.

I actually think the book that we just read, Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren, that's the book of the month, you would like.

You can't get it in Kindle or Amazon; it's only on Google Books or Apple Books. We chose a new book: we are reading Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren.

what was that Redheads book by Rene Carlino? Between Two Strangers? Before We Were Strangers.

I decided to take the Redheads recommendation for the best book of 2020. ... I started Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino, which was the Redheads top pick.

It beat me out in the bracket for Redheads Madness. Yes, you had to see what it was all about. It was really good. I loved the story. It was very sweet and easy read.

I think by far and away the number one is Before We Were Strangers, which was a snitch's choice. Rene Carlino? Yes. Yes.

Did you finish that book Where the Grass is Green? No, I made it about 30% when I decided no thank you.

Claudia started the new Lauren Weisberger book, which is Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty.

Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty. That's one of my that's one of two of my DNFs. Did not like it.

We read this book for the Redheads, The Four Winds about the great depression.

I had to start the book for the redheads, The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. So I started that on Saturday night and it is about the Great Depression and it is so depressing. I'm almost done, I'll finish it when we this afternoon I'm at like 88%.

we are reading The Four Winds by Kristin Hanna which is turning out to be like the second book of the year you know obviously the first one was Girl Without a Dog. I've been seeing it everywhere. Kristin Hanna is an amazing author and because Firefly Lane is out right now it's just like Kristin Hanna's month.

It's a quote from fucking Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

like that scene in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

It's from Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen when the nutty drama teacher is like press your bars. Yeah that's how we feel before we sing.

We're reading How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams and I'm about 15% in and it's so good. I think you would really like it because it's a romance kind of novel.

Our regular scheduled episode also drops next week where we're reading How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams and many people are absolutely loving the book.

Will I like it? Yeah, it's like romcom vibe. You know what? I haven't read a book that wasn't my own since our vacation over holiday season and I'm really getting the itch to read.

Our next book was just announced. It is How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams. It is in the chick lit genre, which is my favorite genre, but I haven't read a romance book in a while, and I've heard really great things about the book.

We'll be following Daphne's brother, the Viscount, and it's based on the book The Viscount Who Loved Me, whereas the first season was based on the book The Duke and I.

I was shocked. Super porny. That's how like Bridgerton ends up with those scenes.
