Summary

Welcome to the first ever You're So Right Nap Trapped Book Club!! Settle in for the book club of your dreams while Rachael and Caitlin talk all about the first book club pick - Manacled, aka the emotionally devastating 1000 page Harry Potter fanfic you can only get on the black market! The girls talk about their Hogwarts houses, who they pictured while reading and how Caitlin likes to check in with the source material and then go off in a completely different direction mentally, why TLC and Taylor Swift (surprising!!!) really connected Rachael with the story, and SO much more!!! They dive into what they'd change, what they love, and why despite Rachael literally saying "I will never read this book again" she would also give it 5 stars. FYI - actual book talk starts around 13:33 (give or take the intro music!!) so there are spoilers after that point! And no need to be a Harry Potter fan to listen- it's just a fun chat regardless :) Here's the very detailed quiz Caitlin forced Rachael to take - ⁠https://wizardmore.com/sorting-hat-x/⁠ NYT Article SenYinLu Interview about Alchemized We couldn't find the "official" playlist on Spotify but there are many great ones to listen to while you read (sad, spooky classical vibes!). Our NEXT BOOK CLUB PICK for September is The Thursday Murder Club! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
