Welcome to Short Stories with the Hot Girls Read Podcast! In addition to our regular seasons that include longer episodes, we are coming to you hot with some shorter segments that will cover bookish news and recent updates.

In our first episode of Short Stories, we talk about the US Tiktok ban, how booktok dealt with it, and the highly anticipated fantasy read, “Onyx Storm.”

Part II of our 2024 Wrapped starts off exactly where we left off in Part I and we get straight into our top Non-fiction reads of the year. We continue on to our most memorable books across the categories of Poetry, Overhyped Booktok Books, Unexpected Top Read, Cozy Read, Spicy Read, and last but not least, or top read of 2024!

After all the fun of delving into the books that have accompanied us throughout 2024, we end the episode talking about our reading plans for the end of the year and what 2025 has in store for the Hot Girls Read podcast.

As always, we loved creating this episode for you guys and we look forward to many more in the New Year!

After our short and sweet season 5, we’ve decided to end the year with one last episode: our 2024 wrapped! We had ambitious goals for this episode, namely sharing our top books of the year across 12 different categories and ending with our top read of the year. So in typical fashion, we went on for so long that we had to break the episode into two parts.

In Part I of our 2024 Wrapped, we start out by dissecting our reading habits and trends over the past year, which seemed to differ quite a bit! This became even more clear as we got into our top books for each category, starting with Adult Fantasy and covering YA/MG Fantasy, Fiction, Romance, and Mystery.

Catch the rest of our top 2024 reads and some updates about the Hot Girls Read podcast in Part II!
