Welcome to the very first episode of All Too Well Read! Megan and Christiana are kicking things off with a deep dive into House of Flame and Shadow, the latest whirlwind from Sarah J. Maas. From jaw-dropping plot twists to swoon-worthy (and sometimes infuriating) character moments, they’re spilling all their unfiltered thoughts and feelings. Did this book live up to its reputation? Are we actually okay after that ending? And what does this all mean for the SJM multiverse? Buckle up, book besties, because this is one wild ride.
EP 002. Pisces Season, Romance Slumps & The Book That Saved Us : The Paradise Problem
It’s Pisces season, besties—aka the time to get dreamy, creative, and maybe just a little emotionally unhinged. 🌊✨ In this episode, Megan and Christiana kick things off with all the ways to tap into inspiration during this mystical season before diving into contemporary romance—a genre that’s been testing them lately. But fear not! Just when they thought they’d hit a romance reading slump, The Paradise Problem swooped in and saved the day. They break down why this book restored their faith in the genre (and maybe humanity??), what makes a contemporary romance actually work, and why well-written characters matter so much. Plus, they dive into astrology’s influence on creativity, the books that shaped them, and what’s next on their reading list.
EP 003. Fourth Wing: Recap & Review
In this episode of All Too Well Read, Megan and Christiana take flight into the world of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. From the very first page to the final gasp-worthy twist, they're recapping it all—favorite quotes, character arcs, dragon dynamics, and all the brutality that is Basgiath. The conversation goes beyond the page as they explore the emotional highs and heartbreaks of the story, dive into the themes of strength, betrayal, and vulnerability, and unpack what it means to create (and consume!) stories that truly move them. Plus, they share their own writing journeys, book boyfriends, and why they’re both obsessed with the fantasy genre’s unique ability to make them feel seen. Grab your weapons, tighten your saddle straps, and get ready for a ride—because this episode is a wild one.
EP 004. Getting Cozy With Iron Flame
Grab your wine, and prepare for chaos, because Megan and Christiana are diving into the dragon-filled, emotionally explosive world of Iron Flame! In this episode, they break down everything from the slow-burn start (hello war strategy overload) to the emotional gut punches, the messy miscommunication, and the beautifully unhinged character arcs that kept them up way too late reading. From screaming about Xaden and Violet’s trust issues to unpacking Nolan's betrayal, this conversation is part therapy session, part theory spiral, and part still trying to understand what even happened. They tackle everything—torture scenes, redemption arcs, venin power, Andarna’s importance, color symbolism, and whether anyone in this book knows how to use their words. (Spoiler: they don’t.)
EP 005. Confessions of being a Creative
This week, Megan and Christiana are in their feels—and their creative eras. From Megan’s fresh new bangs to Christiana’s dreamy tattoo inspired by Throne of Glass, this episode is all about navigating life transitions, creative chaos, and the rollercoaster that is being an artist in a content-hungry world. The girls get real about writing anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the magic (and mess) of finding your creative voice. Christiana shares some soul-stirring takeaways from an arts + spirituality conference, and Megan opens up about the ever-evolving nature of her writing journey. Whether you’re knee-deep in a project or still trying to remember what creativity feels like, this episode is your permission slip to be imperfect, inspired, and entirely human.

We’re unpacking themes of denial, reality, grief, and growth while questioning every unresolved plot thread and begging authors everywhere to take their time.
