All Books, No Chill
All Books No Chill is a solo-host book podcast for people who read to feel something and then need to talk about it immediately. Each episode dives into one book at a time—celebrating beautiful writing, unpacking big feelings, and openly grieving bad endings.This isn’t a plot summary podcast. It’s a conversation about why stories matter, how books help us find friendship, and what happens when a story misses the mark. Expect chaotic honesty, emotional spirals, feminist rage, quiet heartbreak, and recurring segments like Would I Recommend This to My Therapist?If you’ve ever finished a book and...

Send us Fan Mail
This weeks episode discusses the book Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney. This episode buts the ''no chill" in the all books no chill podcast. Alice Feeney takes us all for a ride, so many twists and turns, give a listen to see if you can follow.

Send us Fan Mail
This episode dives into the life and come back of Carrie Soto, a professional all star tennis player. Carrie is anything but likeable, but she is a force to be reckoned with and is faced with the feelings of what happens when I am no longer the best? What happens when this thing I've built my entire identify around goes away? Something maybe most of us can identify with.
EP. 12 The Book of Lost Names
Send us Fan Mail
This episode dives into the World War II historical fiction novel The Book of Lost Names by Kristen Harmel. We talk about themes of identify, grief, and quiet acts of resistance and of course conclude with the fan favorite section of the show, "Would I recommend this to my therapist."
Ep 11. The Perfect Marriage & The Perfect Divorce
Send us Fan Mail
We read The Perfect Marriage and The Perfect Divorce so you don’t have to (or so you can feel validated if you did). From wild twists to morally questionable decisions, we’re unpacking Sarah Morgan as a character, the chaos of these plots, and whether anything in this series is actually “perfect”
Ep. 10 As the Earth Lies Still & Sounds of the Hummingbird
Send us Fan Mail
This episode is not only a double feature, but we have our first guest to the show, poet and good friend of mine, J M Oak. This episode discusses his poetry that dives into themes of mental health and bipolar disorder, as well as the love for his husband and journey through this crazy thing we call life.
Ep. 9 Funny Story
Send us Fan Mail
A light, slightly sappy dive into Funny Story by Emily Henry (aka the ultimate palette cleanser read). I’m talking cute, easy, emotionally safe… and maybe just a little lacking in chaos. If you want soft romance with minimal emotional damage, this one’s for you.
Ep. 8 Half His Age
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, we’re talking about Half His Age by Jennette McCurdy, not my favorite.
It’s heavy on teen angst, messy choices, and a relationship that’s more uncomfortable than compelling. I get what it was doing (and it does it well), but I still walked away feeling grossed out and annoyed.
If you’ve ever hated a book that was technically good… this is that.
Ep. 7 The Other Einstein
Send us Fan Mail
Today’s episode is about The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict — a book that made me go from “wow, what a beautiful intellectual love story” to “oh I suddenly hate this man.”
We’re talking about Mileva Marić, the brilliant physicist who studied alongside Albert Einstein before he became… well, Einstein.
Ep. 6 Project Hail Mary
Send us Fan Mail
Today we’re discussing Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir — also known as one man doing math in space for 400 pages.
I liked it… I think?
But I’m also convinced it’s going to be a better movie.
We’ll talk science, space friendship, and whether this is a book I’d recommend to my therapist.
Ep. 5 - The Last Letter
Send us Fan Mail
This is your warning: The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros is not a light romance. It’s grief. It’s guilt. It’s devastating. In this episode, I break down the letters, the betrayal, the twist, and the moment that shattered me. Five stars. Emotional damage. No recovery plan.
Ep. 4 The Housemaid
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of All Books No Chill, we’re unpacking The Housemaid by Freida McFadden beyond the twists and shock value. We talk about power and control, who gets believed, and how abuse can hide in plain sight behind money, respectability, and closed doors. It’s fast-paced, unsettling, and way more thought-provoking than it first appears—so let’s get into it.
Ep. 3 Wish You Were Here
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of All Books No Chill, I’m diving into Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult, a pandemic novel that hit a little closer to home than I expected. What starts as a story about art, ambition, and a once-in-a-lifetime trip quickly turns into something much heavier, asking big questions about grief, identity, and what happens when the life you planned disappears overnight.
We talk plot twists (yes, that one), the emotional whiplash of reading pandemic fiction post-2020, and why the first half of this book completely worked fo...
Ep. 2 - Salem's Fall
Send us Fan Mail
This week on All Books No Chill, we’re talking Salem’s Fall by Rechtok Ross, a book with great vibes, strong storytelling, and an ending that I simply could not get behind. Come for the love, stay for the rant, and join me as I process how a book can be so good and still fumble the landing.
Ep. 1 - The Dictionary of Lost words
Send us Fan Mail
This week on All Books No Chill, we’re unpacking The Dictionary of Lost Words—a book about lost language, overlooked women, and the quiet fury of being unheard. Expect emotional spirals, thoughts about bad endings, and a very honest Would I Recommend This to My Therapist? segment.
