Booked for Two
We’re Scott and Genevieve, a husband-and-wife duo with a shared love for reading—but very different perspectives. Each week, we dive into the same book, chapter by chapter, to explore, debate, and sometimes clash over the stories we read. Join us for thoughtful insights, lively discussions, and plenty of laughs as we uncover what makes great books tick—from both sides of the page. We will be covering the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. (Spoilers and Mature Content) Currently reading: Heir of Fire By Sarah J Maas
