Kennedy
Foreign. Hi, guys. Welcome back to I'll read what she's reading. I'm Kennedy.
Mikayla
I'm Mikayla.
Reggie
And I'm Reggie.
Kennedy
And today we are B. Whoa. We are B. We're doing Bang, Marry, Kill. Good old fashioned game. But before we get into that, we're gonna pick books for each other. If you're new here or if you haven't seen this segment of our podcast, we essentially pick books for each other.
Mikayla
Revolutionary.
Kennedy
I know. Read them and then report back.
Mikayla
Yep.
Kennedy
So, Reggie, you're picking a book for Mikayla. What book are you picking and why are you picking it?
Reggie
Okay. I already know what I'm gonna go with.
Kennedy
Okay.
Mikayla
Okay.
Reggie
And I'm nervous about this one because I think it's been a while since Michaela's read a book like this, but I'm picking this book for Mikayla because she's always just so smart and can pick up on so many things that I want to see if she can pick up on this.
Mikayla
I don't know.
Kennedy
I think I know.
Reggie
So I'm gonna have you read Look.
Kennedy
Closer by David Ellis. Okay.
Mikayla
Okay.
Reggie
And you can log into my audible.
Mikayla
Okay.
Reggie
Because it's. The audiobook's pretty good. That's what I listen to. Okay. Multiple point of views. It's not like it's scary, but it's a whodunit situation. Okay. I feel like you've been reading a lot of fantasy. You need a little something to break it up.
Mikayla
It's on my list, so it will get there.
Reggie
It will get there.
Mikayla
I'll get there.
Reggie
Mikayla, she's really good at picking up on stuff. And there were some. Some twists to this book that I was like, oh, okay.
Mikayla
But I feel like sometimes I'm not too. Sometimes I feel better.
Reggie
I don't know. So that's why I kind of. I'm just really intrigued to see one if you'll enjoy it and two, if you'll be able to pick up on it. All right, so.
Mikayla
Okay. I'm excited.
Reggie
It's a page turner. I thought it was at least.
Mikayla
I'm. I'm excited.
Reggie
So I don't think it's one that would take you a long time to get through.
Mikayla
Okay. I'm excited about it. So, yeah, I don't know what I'm picking for you yet.
Kennedy
So maybe do you want me to go next?
Mikayla
I don't know.
Kennedy
Okay. All right, Reggie, I have two books. They're different genres.
Mikayla
Flip a coin.
Kennedy
So I'm going to let you pick. Do you want a romance book? Or do you want a sci fi book?
Reggie
Ooh. Based off what I'm planning to read next, you want a romance book, don't you? I feel like I want romance.
Kennedy
Okay, you're going to read Never by Jessa Hastings.
Mikayla
Oh, good.
Reggie
Because I have the physical book.
Kennedy
Part of the reason is because I knew you had the physical book, and the other part is because I don't. I know one other person that has read this book. I don't know anybody else who's read this book. And I'm just interested to hear your thoughts.
Reggie
I like that you're making me move it up my tbr.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Mikayla
Ooh, There you go.
Reggie
Okay.
Mikayla
Okay, well, I'll give you a choice.
Reggie
Should I have given you a choice?
Mikayla
Oh, no, no, no. I'm excited about that one.
Reggie
Okay.
Mikayla
It's on my list. I've just been waiting for it to become available on my Libby app. Okay. Fantasy. Is it technically a fantasy? I don't know.
Kennedy
Fantasy.
Mikayla
Ish.
Kennedy
Adjacent.
Mikayla
Action.
Kennedy
Who?
Mikayla
Or romance?
Kennedy
Give me the action one.
Mikayla
Okay. It's the Blonde Identity. O. Okay, Carter.
Kennedy
Okay. I'm excited to read that. I really enjoyed the most wonderful crime of the year. Yeah, I don't think I have it on my Libby app, though. Blonde Identity. Yeah. Okay. I'm adding it.
Mikayla
Blonde Identity.
Kennedy
Yeah, I'm stoked about that.
Mikayla
Okay. It's not super long. How long? Wait. That's it. A two week wait for it is like, how long is the book?
Kennedy
It is nine hours.
Mikayla
Yeah. Not terrible.
Kennedy
What if I want to physically read it? How long is it going to take? Dang. I could. I literally have access to it right now. Yeah, but I don't want to be.
Reggie
An eight week wait. Yeah. Not that I need to get the ebook version, but.
Kennedy
Oh, I'm excited. I'm ready for it.
Reggie
Sweet. I'm excited.
Kennedy
Those are the books we chose for each other. Yeah. And now we're gonna get into Bang. Marry, Kill. If you're unfamiliar with this game, you have three names you have to choose. One to bang, one to marry, and one to Glocka. Glocka.
Reggie
And we. We do bang as you like, you know? Do I. Why do I feel like we have to explain? Bang isn't like pew. Pew.
Kennedy
Should we use different words?
Reggie
The only thing I can think of is. I mean, the only. We're not gonna be cursing, but we could always say kiss, but we've always done bang, so I feel like we gotta say bang.
Mikayla
Bang.
Kennedy
Bang, Marry, Kill.
Reggie
Kiss, marry, kill. Bang, marry, kill.
Kennedy
I'm thinking a different word. For kill.
Reggie
Oh. Oh. For sake of posting on socials.
Mikayla
End glock, end bang and obliterate.
Kennedy
Pray for. We'll keep it a kill. It's okay. Yeah.
Reggie
If we need to bleep it out over the socials, we can.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Kennedy
You guys know what we're doing, okay?
Mikayla
We know what we're doing.
Kennedy
The way we're doing it is we've categorized it as fantasy men and. And romance men. It's just not same to put them in the same category. It's not fair. It's not fair.
Reggie
And also, these are a array of men. These aren't just like top tier men. Okay, Just so we don't want any. No spoilers out there for anyone listening. It's all fun.
Kennedy
If for the fantasy men, if my co hosts agree, we won't be saying what books they're from just on the off chance you haven't read them. We don't want to spoil anything. We won't get into too much details about the men in general. You guys okay with that? Yeah. Or should we say what books they're from?
Reggie
Maybe. It depends.
Mikayla
I think it depends.
Kennedy
Okay, we'll. We'll ride it out. We'll see how it goes.
Reggie
All right?
Kennedy
Okay. All right. Our first group. Drumroll, please. Zaden. Oh, Rhys Cardin.
Reggie
Oh, that's easy, Reggie. I'm going to marry Rhys. I'm going to kill Cardan, and I'm going to bang Xavin.
Kennedy
Same.
Mikayla
Actually, I think that's the same.
Kennedy
What do you know?
Mikayla
Wow.
Kennedy
There's just something. Who knows? Maybe after the next few Empyrean books that'll change.
Reggie
You know, I just.
Kennedy
I don't.
Reggie
I don't. I don't. I don't dare expand on that.
Mikayla
So, I mean, say it, you know, Zaden.
Reggie
You know, say I after my Iron Flame reread. Am I okay to say that? He's. He's. I forget how much I love him.
Kennedy
Yeah, me too. Yeah, me too. Oh, yeah. All right, next group, we're gonna get.
Mikayla
All hot and bothered.
Kennedy
We have Dane.
Mikayla
Okay.
Kennedy
Darrow.
Mikayla
Who?
Kennedy
And Cassian.
Reggie
Oh.
Kennedy
Who? I'm gonna kill Dane. Mary. Darrow. And Bang. Cassian.
Mikayla
Ooh.
Reggie
I don't know. I think when I went to bang.
Mikayla
I think I'm going to kill Dane.
Kennedy
Really? I thought for sure you were gonna kill Darrow.
Mikayla
I think I'm gonna bang Darrow.
Reggie
Yeah. Mary. Cassian. Yeah.
Kennedy
Respect.
Reggie
I just.
Mikayla
I mean, he's been. Never mind. I can't say anything.
Reggie
Well, I'm just. Well, I feel like we have to some time. Have to expand a little bit. So it's not like, you know.
Mikayla
I.
Kennedy
Don'T know how you. Yeah. Well.
Reggie
Yeah.
Kennedy
Dara is just a little too serious.
Mikayla
My personal preference. And then Cassian's a little bit more of it.
Kennedy
Yeah. Playful.
Mikayla
Yeah. So that's just why. Yeah.
Kennedy
Darrow Fun for one night.
Mikayla
I could see that.
Kennedy
Yeah. Yeah, I could see that.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
Cassian would be fun in all aspects of your life.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
You know.
Kennedy
Yeah. I'm picturing, like, if I lived in their world, like, you know what I mean?
Reggie
I can't say the same for Darrow.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
And Dane, you know. Well, I'm not gonna say much about him, but as handsome as his fan art is, I just.
Mikayla
He's handsome, but he's just vanilla.
Reggie
He's v. He also. I would be scared of him touching me.
Mikayla
Yeah, okay.
Kennedy
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Mikayla
Yeah, I catch the drift. Yeah.
Kennedy
Okay, next grouping. Bodhi, Asar and Lance Orion.
Mikayla
Who's Bodhi from. Oh, I'm stupid.
Reggie
Is Lance Orion from someone I haven't.
Kennedy
He's from Zodiac.
Reggie
The one that's from Boyfriend.
Kennedy
Okay, who's the middle one again? Asar, from the heart of songbird and stone.
Mikayla
Okay. I think I'm going to kill him. Asar. And I'm going to bang Bodhi, and I'm gonna marry Lance Orion.
Reggie
I don't know Lance Orion.
Kennedy
You're missing out.
Reggie
So I feel like I can't. I can't. I just have to kill him because I don't know him.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
I'll let you guys have him.
Kennedy
Thanks.
Reggie
I'm gonna marry a Sar. And then I'm going to bang Bodhi.
Kennedy
I think I'm going to kill Sar.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Kennedy
Mary. No, kill us.
Mikayla
Are.
Kennedy
Bang Bodie and Mary. Lance. I mean, Bodhi is Satan's cousin, so. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Yeah, you know. You know. Yeah. All right, next we have Riddick, Roman and Gale.
Reggie
Gale.
Kennedy
Gale from Hunger Games.
Mikayla
I'm killing him.
Reggie
I'm gonna kill him. I'm going to. Oh, wait. Okay.
Kennedy
Okay.
Reggie
Well, I'm definitely.
Kennedy
We're all marrying Roman, right?
Reggie
No, wait. Who's the other one? Riddick.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
No, I'm marrying Riddick.
Mikayla
I'm banging Ridic. Marrying Roman.
Kennedy
Same ridicule would be fun for one time.
Mikayla
But, like, I.
Kennedy
Like, you know, Roman would take care of you. Think about the notes. He would leave you.
Mikayla
Weep high Angel.
Reggie
Okay, wait, you guys are convincing me.
Mikayla
I. You know, I think it just.
Reggie
There's just something about Roman that just feels very mid. But Also, not at the same time. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I just don't think.
Mikayla
Is Riddick right?
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
He's a little immature.
Mikayla
He's. Imit. He just hasn't done anything substantial enough for me to be like. Yeah. Because if you think about Roman and everything that he's done, you have to.
Reggie
Be like, yeah, yeah.
Mikayla
You know.
Kennedy
One time.
Reggie
Fresh on the brain right now, so.
Mikayla
But you.
Reggie
You are right, Michaela.
Kennedy
He'd tell you jokes, funny.
Reggie
Would write me love letters. He would crawl to the ends of the Earth for me.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
Easy, easy.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Kennedy
Sorry, Gail. You weren't even in the conversation.
Mikayla
It would be different in the next few books.
Reggie
Yeah.
Mikayla
For Riddick.
Reggie
Oh, yeah.
Mikayla
You know, but I feel like we haven't seen enough of that.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Reggie
No, that's fair. I sometimes need to look at the big picture. Yeah.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Mikayla
Kind of look at the big picture. Reggie.
Kennedy
Okay. All right. Reggie's gonna have so much fun with this next one. Tamlin. Hey. Mitch. And Darius from Zodiac Academy.
Reggie
Wait, hold up. Did you say Haymitch?
Kennedy
I sure did. Haymitch, Darius, Darius and Tamlin. Have fun.
Reggie
Who the freak is Darius?
Kennedy
It's from Zodiac Academy.
Mikayla
Zodiac?
Reggie
What's he like? Oh, if you guys are banging him or marrying him, then, I mean, I'm.
Kennedy
Probably going to marry him.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
For Jersey. I will marry him because I trust. I trust you guys. And then I would probably bang Tamlin and kill Haymitch.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Kennedy
Would serenade you with his fiddle. Haymitch is just.
Reggie
Well, I mean, come on, Tamlin. You guys.
Mikayla
He's beautiful.
Reggie
He is.
Kennedy
Yes.
Mikayla
He's got this gorgeous bod, you know?
Kennedy
Yeah.
Mikayla
I'd bang him.
Reggie
Haymitch smells like alcohol, is an incredible man.
Kennedy
He really is. He really is.
Mikayla
Haymitch. I feel like there has to. Maybe it would be different once his book comes out and once his movie comes out. I feel like we can't.
Reggie
Maybe young Haymitch would be a good time.
Mikayla
Yes.
Reggie
Maybe that was. Came out wrong.
Mikayla
But I feel like we. We can't say that yet, because it hasn't come out yet. You know?
Kennedy
I mean, I just put him with Tamlin and Darius. Like, he doesn't have a chance.
Mikayla
He doesn't compare. No.
Reggie
Yeah.
Mikayla
No, he doesn't.
Reggie
I just think drunken Haymitch, and it's.
Mikayla
A. Yeah, it's a no for me.
Kennedy
It's gonna be no for me as well. Next grouping. Azriel, Ethan and four marrying Azriel.
Reggie
Bangin. Four killing Ethan. Same.
Mikayla
I mean, but he plays some ball. He Plays stun ball.
Kennedy
What is sunball? I don't know. I don't.
Mikayla
Is baseball. I think it's a mix.
Reggie
Yeah. But I just put them side by side and I just. It's like a no brainer.
Mikayla
I was. I was teasing about the sunball thing. I was just joking because you play some ball.
Kennedy
Here's the thing. Four is Theo James. Like, how do you not bang him?
Mikayla
Yeah, I'm gonna bang him too. Sorry, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reggie
Wait, you're. You guys would marry Asriel?
Kennedy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reggie
Okay.
Mikayla
Over four and Ethan. Yeah. Also Ethan is from Crescent City. I feel like that doesn't give anything away.
Kennedy
No, it doesn't.
Mikayla
Okay.
Kennedy
No, he plays.
Reggie
They have to tell you.
Mikayla
Did I say that right? Sunball.
Kennedy
Yeah, he plays on ball.
Mikayla
They. They play a sport called sunball in. It's just a running joke.
Reggie
Yeah, yeah. I was just gonna say, in case you guys didn't already know, I'm just a big Asriel fan and I've started making a list. I'm gonna make a PowerPoint and I'm gonna do a TikTok PowerPoint on why I love Azriel.
Kennedy
I thought you were gonna say I've started writing fan fiction about him.
Mikayla
I would fully support them.
Kennedy
So would I. Yeah.
Reggie
The question is about how I have to choose between him and four.
Kennedy
Why choose? Why choose? Why choose?

Reggie
This is a hard one for me, actually.
Kennedy
Well, I'm killing Harry. I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night and Hunt's going to be sucking on my toes. So maybe I don't know enough about Mac. I'm going to marry Hunt and bang Mac.
Mikayla
I truly. I. Yeah, same.
Reggie
I feel like. I mean, Hunt is just not my favorite. But it doesn't mean he's not great.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
I think there's just something that's really intimidating about him, and I just can't figure out what it is.
Mikayla
It's toe love in mind.
Reggie
I'd probably marry Hunt.
Mikayla
I mean, I wouldn't do it super willingly, but out of those choices, I.
Kennedy
Mean, you gotta choose.
Mikayla
Yeah. Oh, I just don't know very much about Mac. He likes buns.
Kennedy
He likes what?
Mikayla
Buns. Like sticky buns? Like honey buns.
Kennedy
Oh, he'd probably like your buns too. I. Yeah.
Mikayla
It's just hard because both those people are very, like, innocent in my mind. Yes.
Reggie
And then you got Hunt over here.
Mikayla
Who's Hunt?
Reggie
Athar.
Mikayla
I. I stick with it.
Reggie
Same as.
Mikayla
Same as Kennedy. Yeah.
Reggie
Yeah.
Kennedy
You know, sometimes when you just, like, spout it out, it's the correct. It's. It's what you should do. Your first instinct is the right instinct. This one's not fair. Rowan, Aaron Warner. And Low from Bride and Low, bruh. Oh, Killing Low. Banging Aaron. Horror. Marrying Rowan.
Reggie
I don't know who the other guy is, but.
Kennedy
Yeah, he's got a tattoo. He's got a tattoo right above his cross. You'd want to bang him.
Reggie
Okay, I'm just, you know, and on his back. These two read a lot more than me, but I trust their. Their judgment.
Kennedy
Here's the thing.
Mikayla
I'd bang Aaron, even though I'd talk.
Kennedy
Shatter Me is not my favorite series, but Aaron Warner. Something about Aaron Warner.
Reggie
Okay, I've been seeing a lot of tiktoks about him, actually.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Mikayla
He is supposed to say. And what. What says on his back, but I don't remember what says.

Reggie
Wow.
Kennedy
You're married.
Mikayla
You have to disassociate the character from the actor.
Kennedy
Yeah, but that's hard.
Reggie
Even then, I'm still, like. I remember reading those books and just being like, Finnick has got to be the most beautiful man that people.
Kennedy
Also, doesn't he, like, save his grandma?
Mikayla
That is not his grandma.

I. I will marry Ranger.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Mikayla
Elm.
Kennedy
I. Here's the thing. I. I remember reading the Shepherd King duology, loving Elm, but, like, I'm sitting here right now and he's not memorable to me. Yeah. So I'm gonna kill Elm, bang Dante, Mary, Rain, same.
Reggie
You know, I would trust you guys, but it's okay.
Mikayla
You had a different reading experience.
Reggie
I'm going, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm going to bang, marry Rain, kill Dante.
Mikayla
I like him.
Kennedy
I like it. I support that decision.
Mikayla
I almost did that.
Reggie
There's just pre.
Kennedy
Pre novella. I would have done that also.
Reggie
Would you guys just not, like, be terrified to be with Rain a little bit?
Kennedy
But, like, he loves. He. He would love me. So, like.
Reggie
Yeah, I just. The whole teeth sinking thing, just really.
Kennedy
I'm into it.
Reggie
Yeah. It's. It's just something that really just intrigues.
Mikayla
Yeah. But if you marry them, you got all the time in the world to.
Kennedy
Also like the way. The way they write about it, though. It doesn't seem like it's.
Reggie
Yeah. Yeah.
Mikayla
So I feel like it would kind of hurt a little bit.
Reggie
Yeah. Maybe they just initial shock.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
I don't know.
Kennedy

Reggie
I'm just dying the President snows almost. And I know there's like. There's like, Ballad of Songbirds when he's a young, young one.
Kennedy
You got to separate it from me, but you got to separate it from the actor. Okay, let's do some of our top picks.
Mikayla

Reggie
You know, I think I would kill Azrael. Mary Zaden, Bang Dorian.
Kennedy
Wow. Wait, you just said you were gonna make a PowerPoint presentation about how much you loved Asriel, and now you're killing.
Mikayla
Wait, wasn't Zaden and Dorian together in one?
Reggie
No, no. I think I'm. When I think, like, end game. Or would I kill Dorian? That's really tricky.
Mikayla
Do you want me to. I'm just writing the Zoo. My thought process.
Kennedy
Spew it.
Mikayla
We just don't know a ton about Azrael.
Reggie
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, well, he would be. He would be a good bang, for sure.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Reggie
But if it's just a bang, I'm like, look, yeah, I. I think I might just, like, kill him. Because I would choose him in every other world, so every other lifetime. I don't know. I think I would marry Zayden, though, maybe. And Kildorian. I think it's just because I'm currently riding the Zaden train high.
Kennedy
Yeah, I could see that.
Mikayla
Yeah.
Kennedy
For sure.
Reggie
And yeah, that's all I'll say.
Mikayla

Reggie
Oh, man. There's something I want to say. And he.
