We have thoughts – many, many thoughts. 👀📚

This week, inspired by the Once Upon a Time Zone podcast, we're reacting to the Goodreads top romantasy list. It's ranked by overall star rating, and honestly some of the placements have us feeling... well... confused.

Books featured include Fourth Wing, The Shepherd Duology, The Plated Prisoner Series and more — and we are not holding back.

If you love romantasy and you have opinions about which books deserve their hype, this is the episode for you. Come argue with us 😂✨

She is an absolute icon and we are so happy she joined us 🖤

NYT bestselling author Jeaniene Frost came on Gorls Unplugged to chat all things Night Huntress, her brand new release A Curse of Beasts and Magic, and romantasy as a genre. If you know her work you already know this episode is going to be a good one. and if you don't, consider this your sign to get acquainted immediately.

We talk about the series that made her a household name in the fantasy community, what inspired her new book, and why romantasy is having such a massive moment right now. It's a fun one 📚✨

We talk about their writing process, their favourite characters (yes they actually answered), future books, almost character deaths, sneak peek exclusives, and the thing we know you're all going to be screaming about — the possibility of a Zodiac Academy movie???

This episode has been a long time coming and we meant every word of it 🖤

Before our interview with the authors of Zodiac Academy drops next week, we wanted to dedicate a whole episode to the series that literally started everything for us. The books that brought us together, turned us into the readers we are today, and eventually led to us starting Gorls Unplugged. No big deal or anything 😂

We're getting into when we first read the series, our recommended reading order if you're just starting out, our full series ranking, a deep dive into the authors' other series', and we finish things off with a very important game of snog marry pie with the characters from the Solaria universe.

Next week's interview episode is going to be amazing, so follow us to notified as soon as it drops! Consider this is your prep 📚✨

We're back, gorls! 🎉

Season 3 is HERE and we are kicking things off by catching you up on everything — what we've been reading, what we devoured over the break, and all the bookish news you need to know about while we were gone.

This week we are talking about goal setting and the ways we try to keep ourselves motivated throughout the year.

We chat about how we set personal goals, whether vision boards are actually more helpful than traditional resolutions, and how spirituality and mindset can play a role in staying focused on what you want. We also get into our bookish goals, reading habits we want to improve, and how realistic it really is to stay motivated once the excitement of January disappears.

If you have ever made a vision board, set ambitious reading goals, or promised yourself this would be the year you finally get your life together, this episode will hopefully feel very relatable!

This week we’re doing a short and sweet catch up on what’s been happening in the book world! 📚

We briefly touch on the anti-intellectualism debate and the ongoing “audiobooks aren’t reading” discourse on BookTok, talk about the recent tension between H. M. Wolfe and K. M. Moronova, and chat about the comparisons between Powerless and Red Queen.

Alongside the drama, we’re sharing our favourite reads of the year so far and the 2026 releases we’re already excited about 👯‍♀️

It’s 28 minutes of book space updates, hot topics, and personal reading highlights!
