Welcome to Chaotic Readers! Just two best friends who met working in the hell that can be retail and found out about our mutual love of reading. Each episode we talk about a different bookish topic, while enjoying refreshing ciders or sometimes just coffee (water for Connor). This is your spoiler warning, because we usually forget to give one where it might be necessarily.
So if you're looking to listen to a couple friends hanging out talking anything and all things books (with some mild derailment in conversations), look no further!

Welcome to Hearts & Daggers, a podcast where we chat about the books that make our hearts race—whether that means we're swooning onto the bed or hiding under the covers. Our hosts are Devin, a New Englander living in Colorado who loves romances that amp her up and make her giggle; and Holly, a New Yorker who loves nothing more than reading something dark, creepy, and mysterious. Each week we will discuss two books—one lighter, one darker—that are united by a common theme. We will also each share one book we haven't read that we are excited about, and end with something in pop-culture or life right now that is making our hearts race. We hope you'll subscribe and join us bi-weekly for some fun conversations about romances, thrillers, and all the books in between that get our heart rates pumping!
