In this episode of The Bookish and Bubbly Podcast, Brooke and Hope are here to break down THE Sarah J. Maas Call Her Daddy Podcast episode. First of all, Alex Cooper, you’re GOALS! (Listeners, help us get there. LOL.) Before we dive into the episode we talk about death, because we’re crazy. Brooke goes in depth into what she wants for her funeral (ahem, PARTY) plans, and then we get sad. We also discuss how sad it is that we missed out on being One Directioners, but we definitely were Beliebers and deserved to be the One Less Lonely Girl. After that, it’s finally time to dive into the Maasverse and break down the exciting news of new ACOTAR books! Join us as we unpack this spectacular podcast, and then talk about all of our other favorite authors and when they’ll give us new books. Basically, you’re in for another full hour of us YAPPING.
