🐉 THRESHING DAY HAS ARRIVED—and we have THOUGHTS.

Welcome back to Enchanted & Exhausted, where we run away from the real world into books! 📚✨ samantha-kayla (2)

Episode 10 was recorded LIVE on TikTok, and this one is packed with everything we love: Fourth Wing theories, dragons, reading updates, mom-life chaos, and completely unrealistic TBR expectations.

We dive into Threshing Day, talk about our favorite POVs, and unpack some of the theories that have us questioning EVERYTHING we thought we knew about the Empyrean series. Who has secretly had a dragon? Can we actually trust the scribes? Why do riders have to bleed during Threshing? And what exactly is Rebecca Yarros setting us up for?! 👀🐉

Then, naturally, we attempt our own Dragonkind Threshing live...and things go about as well as you'd expect. 🔥😂

We also recap our September reads and ratings, talk about what we're reading in October, share our next Enchanted & Exhausted Book Club pick, Crown Me Dead, and give each other our newest reading challenges. Kayla is challenged to read Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, while Sam gets Dark Secret by Christine Feehan. samantha-kayla (2)

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains spoilers and theories for Threshing Day and the Empyrean series.

Because apparently being exhausted mothers wasn't enough—we needed dragons, theories, and an impossible TBR too. 🐉📚☕️

We’re back with Episode 9 of Enchanted & Exhausted, and this week we’re mixing spicy books, questionable opinions, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood.

We’re recapping our September book club read, Kiss of the Basilisk, and WOW… this book gave us a LOT to talk about. We’re diving into the spice, the fantasy, the love triangle, power dynamics, questionable choices, social commentary, the ending that left us questioning EVERYTHING, and whether we’ll be picking up the next book.

But before we get into the bookish chaos, it’s time for some serious mom-life stories. From flooded bathrooms and feral children to school drama, random noises, questionable parenting decisions, and the things our kids do that have us wondering how we’re still functioning… motherhood is exhausting and apparently our children are feral.

We also share our October TBRs, books we’re excited about, upcoming releases, and what we’re challenging each other to read.

AND finally… we announce our October Enchanted & Exhausted Book Club Pick: Crown Me Dead by Liv Xander! 🖤

If you’ve read Kiss of the Basilisk, we NEED to know your thoughts. What did you rate it? Who was your favorite character? And how many chili peppers are you giving it?

Come hang out with us for books, motherhood, questionable opinions, and whatever feral childness happens between now and next week.

As always… stay enchanted and maybe a little less exhausted. ✨

We took Enchanted & Exhausted LIVE... and invited BookTok into the chaos. 😂📚

For the first time, Sam and Kayla are recording an episode while simultaneously going LIVE on TikTok—on three accounts, because apparently one wasn't chaotic enough. 😂

This week is ALL about books. We're breaking down our favorite standalones, duologies, completed series, unfinished series, current reads, favorite tropes, and the fictional men we're absolutely not prepared to give up.

From Nocticadia, The Knight and the Moth, The Knave and the Moon, Plated Prisoner, From Blood and Ash, Throne of Glass, Fourth Wing, Quicksilver, Shield of Sparrows and plenty more—we're talking about the books we can't stop thinking about and adding even MORE books to our already out-of-control TBRs.

Then things get a little unhinged with Would You Rather, choosing our ultimate book boyfriend, and a round of Marry, Hook Up & Block with our favorite fictional characters.

And because we're still Enchanted & Exhausted, we couldn't end without some feral mom talk. From kids saying things they definitely shouldn't, toddler tantrums and Velcro children to the never-ending question of “Why does the house still look like this?!”—motherhood makes its way into the conversation whether we plan for it or not.

This episode is raw, interactive, slightly chaotic, and very us. Grab your coffee, open your TBR, and play along with us!

💬 We want YOUR answers:
What's your favorite standalone, duology and series? Who is your ultimate book boyfriend? And whose book recommendation are you trusting—Sam or Kayla?
