BY SOPHIA It's the *HOLIDAY SEASON* (bonus points to you if you read that in melody to the song 🤩). Guys, it's officially time to start thinking about the holidays and gifting season and to help you along in the process, Jensine & I will be bringing you a few gift guides on the blog this month.

Two years ago, Sophia and I started meeting up for book dates; we'd each bring our own respective read, order some wine, and sit in companionable silence. During one of those dates, I spontaneously spurted out, "Do you want to start a podcast?!" Sophia offered a yes in all of her signature excitement, and the rest is PPG history. So to celebrate the end of our second season, we introd[...]
BY SOPHIA I know that our love of books is not news to anyone who is reading our blog but ONE of us also has an obsession with beautiful Bibles (ahem, it's me. Sophia). It's almost like a collector's hobby - I love discovering new Bibles that are unique and/or feminine and adorning my shelves with them. Plus, they're the best book someone could ever read so I don't feel guilty abou[...]
BY SOPHIA It's been awhile since we've shared a roundup of books we recommend for other people, and with the holidays coming up, I thought it would be fun to show you a few books that my kids have been loving recently.

BY SOPHIA After reading Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim last month for our book club pick (and LOVING it) we both knew that we had to finish out the duology and read Unravel the Dusk (The Blood of Stars Book II) for our September book club pick. In this month's podcast episode, we spend some time talking about how we celebrated my 36th birthday and our favorite ways to relax befo[...]

We've got a few new faces and some veterans in the mix, so it's time for ROLL CALL! By the Book by Amanda Sellet The new kid on the block but chalk full of classic literary references. T[...]
BY SOPHIA Hi all! So as some of you may know, both Jensine & I just returned from vacations we each took with our families. I went to Hawaii (shoutout Big Island!) and of course found the time to read a few good books that I wanted to share with you all. So here we go! The first book that I read was The Night Swim by Megan Goldin. I wasn't sure if I was going to regre[...]
BY SOPHIA What better way to celebrate being in the throes of summer than with the most iconic summer trilogy: The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han? For our July book club pick this month, Jensine & I decided to embark on re-reading all three of the books in this series and unlike previous months when we've read multiple books for book club, this month did NOT feel like a[...]
