About this episode

The hosts discuss their recent reads, including books they loved and those they DNF'd, along with their TBR list.

In this episode of the Hello Bestea Podcast, we’re spilling all the bookish tea — from the books we couldn’t put down to the ones we had to DNF (and why). If you love honest book reviews, dark romance, thrillers, and aesthetic reads, this one’s for you. We dive into everything we’ve been reading lately, including psychological thrillers, dark academia vibes, and trending BookTok favorites. Plus, we break down Nancy Pearl’s famous rule for DNFing books — and whether we actually follow it. Books we discuss in this episode: The Perfect Son The Housemaid Is Watching Dark Matter Lake County On Sundays She Picks Flowers Mayhem and the Mortal God of Malice Hooked Becoming We also share what’s currently on our TBR and what we’re excited (and nervous) to read next. If you’re looking for your next read — or wondering which books to skip — this episode has you covered. Subscribe for more book discussions, reading wrap-ups, and aesthetic literary content.
