Our Mid-Year Book Ranking: January to June Reads

The Book Fix ·

2025/07/01

In this mid-year check-in episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli reflect on every book they've read from January to June and rank them on a chaotic, totally subjective tier list. From five-star favorites to books that left them speechless—in a bad way—they revisit standout titles like The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Two Twisted Crowns, Beneath These Cursed Stars and Sunrise on the Reaping. They relive their most unhinged reactions, recall the spiciest (and cringiest) book boyfriends, ...

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023) | Book Flix #7

2025/06/26

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli trade their books for popcorn to review the film adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. They unpack everything from Snow’s villain origin (and questionable hair choices) to the chaotic music numbers, awkward romance, and surprisingly stacked cast. Did the movie make us care more about Coriolanus? Was Lucy Gray giving main character energy or just vibes and vocals? And why did it feel like three different movies in one? Tune in as t...

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli return to Panem to review The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins—and they’re not holding back. They dive into the origin story of a young Coriolanus Snow and debate whether the prequel adds anything meaningful to the Hunger Games universe. Was the love story believable? Did Lucy Gray deserve better? And what was up with all that singing?? Tune in as they unpack the slow burn (literally) of Snow’s villain arc, the book’s comment...

Mockingjay Part 1 & 2 (2015) | Book Flix #6

2025/06/19

In this emotional and chaotic episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli sit down for a girly deep dive into Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2. This isn’t your typical plot breakdown—this is a full-on catharsis session about missed moments, emotional damage, and all the bread Peeta should have brought into the arena. The hosts reflect on Katniss’s awkward rise as a revolutionary symbol, Gale’s war crimes (allegedly), and how Peeta's hijacking storyline was more brutal onscreen than they ever expec...

The Book Fix ·

2025/06/17

In this episode of their Hunger Games deep dive, Yajaira and Cheli take on Mockingjay—and they do not hold back. From the rushed character deaths (Finnick deserved a full chapter, not a sentence) to the lack of meaningful dialogue between Katniss and Peeta, the hosts question why the emotional payoff just wasn’t there. Katniss choosing Peeta makes sense, but where was the scene where they talked it out? Where was the slow-burn reconnection? And why was Haymitch the only one she seemed to emot...

2025/06/12

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli continue their Hunger Games deep dive with a chaotic, passionate breakdown of Catching Fire (2013). The episode kicks off with a spirited conversation about bread (or the shocking lack of it from Panem’s most famous baker), before diving into everything from sourdough dreams to Peeta’s missed opportunities to be a true himbo hero. They reflect on Katniss kissing Gale way too much, Peeta being the ultimate damsel in distress, and all the key m...

Picking up after Katniss and Peeta’s shocking win in the 74th Hunger Games, the hosts discuss how their defiant act with the berries didn’t just save their lives—it sparked unrest across the districts.

2025/06/05

In this episode of The Book Fix, hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive headfirst into the cinematic world of The Hunger Games (2012) following their recent reread of the book. They ditch the plot recap to focus instead on the gritty film style, casting choices, and all the small (and not-so-small) differences between book and screen. From the shaky camera work that left them dizzy, to Jennifer Lawrence’s stoic portrayal of Katniss, they compare the emotional richness of the book to the movie’s more mu...

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli crack open their reread of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and it’s a mix of chaos, nostalgia, and bread-fueled sarcasm. They reflect on the book’s most emotional and iconic moments—from Rue’s tragic death and Katniss’ symbolic rebellion to Peeta’s dramatic mud camouflage and the Capitol’s twisted game rules. They dive into Katniss’ slow emotional processing, the awkward song lyrics, and the lack of dialogue that made this reread feel ho...

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli are absolutely feral over Enchantra by Kaylie Smith—the second installment in the Wicked Games series. The hosts break down the magical, high-stakes chaos of the Enchantra tournament, where tokens, betrayals, and televised death matches keep everyone on edge. They follow Genevieve and Rowington’s slow-burn-to-obsession romance, complete with emotional confessions, fake marriage realness, and a soul crushing sacrifice that had the girls SCREAM...

In this reflective episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli respond to a listener's question about the books that shaped them as children. They start by unpacking their reading habits today, from the struggle of book slumps and bulk reading to the tools that help them reset—like cinematic playlists, 20-page test runs, and audiobooks during long commutes. The conversation shifts to childhood reads, where they reminisce about series like Junie B. Jones, Magic Tree House, Scary Stories to Tell...

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli take a break from book reviews to dive headfirst into the absurd tier list of different ways women have died in old literature. From “flirting headaches” to “garden troubles” and the infamous “beautiful chestnut hair,” the girls try to make sense of these ridiculous causes of death, rating them from most to least believable. Along the way, they share personal stories (including a traumatic ice cream incident), roast historical misogyny, and d...

In this crafty episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli put their artistic talents (or lack thereof) to the test in a chaotic game of bookish Pictionary! With only a marker, a whiteboard, and a very questionable understanding of anatomy, each host takes turns drawing stick-figure scenes from popular books while the other tries to guess the title. From hilariously vague scribbles to almost fighting, this episode is full of laughter, wild guesses, and unexpected masterpieces. Grab a sna...

In this emotionally packed episode, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez—a book that lured them in with its cute cover but hit hard with its portrayal of grief, family caregiving, and emotional burnout. While the romance is present, it quickly becomes clear that this story is also about the quiet battles happening behind closed doors. The hosts reflect on the heavy themes woven into the story, including the realities of long-distance relationships, the emoti...

With books ranging from sports romances and spicy fantasies to morally gray love interests and unhinged third-act breakups, the hosts try to match the reviews to the right titles they've read. Along the way, they reflect on some of the wildest plots, most questionable characters, and scenes that live rent-free in their minds. Wh...

In this emotionally charged and unfiltered episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli revisit the Powerless trilogy by Lauren Roberts, a series that famously divided them as readers. What started as a five-star experience for Cheli quickly unraveled into heartbreak and disillusionment—"I lived, I laughed, I loved, I cried... and then you told me it sucked." From drunk filming confessions ("We had to start over—we were just going on tangents!") to cringing over Kai’s tragic one-liners ("I gues...

In this fun and unfiltered episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli face off in a hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt tournament to crown the ultimate romance trope. From classics like second chance romance and beauty and the beast to the more controversial step-sibling crush and the bet, the hosts debate each trope's merits—and cringe-factor—with personal anecdotes, dramatic examples (hello, fanfiction and Twilight), and passionate rants.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli review The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore, the fourth book in the Dream Harbor series. They dive into the signature “insta-love” setup the series is known for—and question whether it ever really works for them. The book follows Archer, a Michelin-starred chef living in Paris, who’s suddenly called to Dream Harbor to raise a daughter he didn’t know existed after the mother passes away.
