Tomes & Tonics

This week, we resume our journey through "Throne of Glass" by covering the emotional (and quite timely) Heir of Fire! Before we jump in to the exciting installment, we catch up on our latest reads, chat about the latest Bridgerton season, and of course cover Christina's reread of "Wuthering Heights" ahead of the film release next weekend. Then we dive right back into the world of Throne of Glass, covering the very timely scenes, the emotional character arcs, and of course, Lauren's favorite new character, which may or may not be an animal). So grab your fave hot beverage and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics! For behind the scenes content, make sure to follow us on Instagram @tomesandtonics.

We're still in the holiday spirit this week on Tomes & Tonics as we welcome our first indie author, Lauren Flynn, to chat all about her debut, "In My Heart!" We talk all about her spicy Hallmark holiday novella that is set in one of the cutest small towns we've read. Also, we hard launch a new business idea and Lauren gives us a glimpse into her upcoming release, as well as what's next for Tinsel Town! So grab a hot chocolate, rock a holiday sweater, and tune in for a festive episode of Tomes & Tonics!

Then we cover the exciting conclusion of Leigh Bardugo's amazing Six of Crows duology: Crooked Kingdom. We chat all about the Dregs, including our favorite morally gray character Kaz, the heart wrenching twists, and the incredible character development across these two books. Also, we round out the episode with the first on-air wheel pick of 2026 and a sneak peak into our upcoming episodes! So grab a pint and tune in for another episode of Tomes & Tonics!

We might be a week late, but we're excited to wrap up our favorite books of the year! We collectively read more than 200 books and had some seriously amazing reads! Tune in as we chat through our honorable mentions, appoint some fun superlatives, and of course reveal our top five books of the year! We laughed, we cried, we felt ready to go to war, and of course, had a fun time revisiting our favorite reads of 2025 and look forward to what 2026 has in store! So grab a glass of sparkling cider or champagne and join us for another episode of Tomes & Tonics!

It's our last book of 2025 and we're in a total holidaze as we scramble to get our shopping done and fit in another book (or two) before the year ends! This week Lauren and Christina talk about Christina Lauren's holiday romance, "In a Holidaze!" Join us as we chat all about this time-travelling, Christmas-meets-Groundhog Day rom com that may have reminded us of another book we covered earlier this year.

Join us as we chat all about Beat and Melody, their famous rockstar mothers, our thoughts on ista-love vs. insta-lust, and of course that scene on the plane (IYKYK).
