I Reckon I’ll Read ItEpisode 31: A Grim Reaper and A Guardian Angel Walk Into a BarThis week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. We talk about book covers so embarrassing we had to hide them in public, Beccah finally reads a book Summer has been begging her to pick up for two years, and we bring a few spooky reads to the table just in time for October. Then, we wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month – highlighting its significance, notable authors, and, of course, a few book recommendations.

2026-10-121h 24I Reckon I’ll Read ItEpisode 30: Doing a Really Good Job on WordsThis week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. We bring several short reads to the table, a paleontologist romance that feels a little like chasing Indiana Jones, plus creepy dolls, old lady murderers, and plenty of other questionable reading choices. Then, we wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment on Banned Books Week: what it is, why books get challenged, and some of the titles that keep finding themselves on the list.

2026-09-281h 22I Reckon I’ll Read ItEpisode 29: Painfully Pretentious DrivelThis week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. From there, we determine which authors Summer would invite to her birthday party, somehow break our own Reading Roundup rules with a few bonus recommendations, and watch Beccah once again campaign against book blurbs that make thoughtful romance novels sound like cheesy Hallmark movies (which we’re also 100% here for). We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment celebrating one full year of I Reckon I'll Read It – looking back at our favorite moments...

From there, we tackle the very important question of when it's socially acceptable to start reading fall books, wander into the strange world of paranormal fiction (where the phrase “sexy reanimated corpses” somehow becomes a normal part of the conversation), and somehow find ourselves back in cowboy romance territory once again. We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment breaking down how we actually rate books: the metrics, moments, and gut feelings that help us...

From there, we tackle the very important issue of which books feel like August before Beccah experiences the literary equivalent of an identity crisis after enjoying several of her least favorite tropes. Summer continues her deep dive into the world of Sarah J. Maas to prepare for the upcoming book release in October. To wrap things up, we end with a Spotlight Segment exploring high school reading lists, while we, the obvious experts, deci...
2026-08-171h 35I Reckon I’ll Read ItEpisode 26: Walking Through the Forest for 300 Pages (With Character Development!)This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. From there, we discuss what things are needed for a successful ‘reading experience,’ and for the first time in a long time (maybe ever?) Beccah says she reckons she would read all three of Summer’s books. We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment on one of our favorite tropes: You’ve Got Mail retellings.

2026-08-031h 07I Reckon I’ll Read ItBONUS: Side Saddle Episode - The Hunger GamesHey y’all! Welcome to our first Side Saddle episode, where we take the time to dive deep into topics that might not fully make it to the big show. Today, we are joined by a VERY special guest to discuss one of our favorite book (and movie) series of all time, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. We talk all things original trilogy, prequels, movie adaptations, hot takes, and more! And y’all, it really is THAT deep for us. Saddle up and ride along as we go!

From there, we discuss our favorite fictional friendships, which quickly becomes an excuse for Beccah to spend an unreasonable amount of time fangirling over Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings. Summer, unsurprisingly, brings even more horror novels to the table, while Beccah once again shares her (admittedly unpopular) opinions about the so-called “greatest assassin in the world.” We wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment on the books that have pushed us out o...
2026-07-201h 33I Reckon I’ll Read ItEpisode 24:What Smelly Books Have You Been Smelling?This week, we kick things off with another Reading Roundup: two books we’ve finished, two we’re currently reading, and two that are up next. After a brief rant about technology refusing to cooperate, we tackle an important literary debate by assigning book genres to different meals (because nonfiction is clearly breakfast). We then embark on an entirely unnecessary mission to correct a book blurb’s understanding of Shakespearean conspiracy theories before wrapping things up with a Spotlight Segment on the books we’ve DNF’d so far this year.

We then venture into the world of true crime and accidentally uncover Summer’s surprisingly strong enthusiasm for clone stories. We wrap things up with a mid-year check-in on our reading goals, stats, and favorite books of the year so far.

From there, we take the opportunity to lovingly roast each other’s reading personalities, encounter both murderous mermaids and detective sheep, and wonder what ever happened to the Bermuda triangle? Then, we wrap things up with a Spotlight Segment on our biggest bookish “icks” – the words, phrases, and writing habits that make us want to gently set a book down and walk away (or catch on fire).
