The READER CONFESSION Session

July 14, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

In this gloriously unhinged episode of The Novel Ideas Sisters, we're risking our entire bookish reputations by confessing the reading habits we'd usually take to the grave 🤐

We're talking about the books we haven’t read, our controversial audiobook narrator takes, popular authors who we might skips and all the questionable reader behaviour that would get us roasted on Bookstagram 😅


We’re also gonna talk the books that often get a bad rep (we’re looking at you GoodReads) that we think deserve more love 🩷


In this episode full of laughs, hot takes and questionable reading habits, we listen and we judge… but also prove that every reader is at least a little unhinged.

Grab your emotional support beverage and prepare to either feel incredibly seen... or personally attacked.
