We have thoughts โ many, many thoughts. ๐๐
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 โ 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 ๐โจ

This episode has been a long time coming and we meant every word of it ๐ค
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 ๐
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 ๐โจ

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 weโre doing a short and sweet catch up on whatโs been happening in the book world! ๐
We briefly touch on the anti-intellectualism debate and the ongoing โaudiobooks arenโt readingโ 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, weโre sharing our favourite reads of the year so far and the 2026 releases weโre already excited about ๐ฏโโ๏ธ
Itโs 28 minutes of book space updates, hot topics, and personal reading highlights!

Welcome back to Gorls Unplugged! It's 2026 and we're finally back with a new episode after our extended festive break! We hope you all had a lovely celebration or rest with your fam and friends ๐
In today's episode, weโre chatting about the book-to-screen adaptations coming in 2026 and beyond - from romance favourites to nostalgic classics and the adaptations BookTok is already emotionally attached to. ๐
We dive into recent releases like Heated Rivalry, People We Meet on Vacation, and the newest season of Bridgerton, talking chemistry, casting, and why romance adaptations can be so hard to get right. We also explore the insanely popular Tell Me Lies, asking what it is that makes us all SO obsessed with messy relationships on screen? ๐
We're also looking ahead to discuss whatโs coming next, including Off Campus, Wuthering Heights, and The Magic Faraway Tree โ touching on fandom expectations, modern casting, and whether some stories feel too sacred to adapt ๐ซ
And finally, we let ourselves speculate about the adaptations BookTok already has strong opinions on โ from Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage, and Anna Huang, to fantasy favourites like Fourth Wing and Quicksilver. ๐
โจ Let us know which adaptation youโre most excited for โ and don't forget to help me persuade Tor to watch We Were Liars ๐ค๐ผ
