In this episode, we unpack Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Off to Be the Wizard, two wildly different books that sparked wildly entertaining disagreements. From video game metaphors to time-traveling tech bros, we argue about character motivations, plot twists, and whether or not any of this makes sense. Expect sharp insights, hotter takes, and at least one unresolved disagreement by the end. Come for the literary analysis, stay for the family feuding.

In this episode of Dad Read This, we take a detour from the usual TBR chaos and dive into the real-life magic of book signings! We chat about our adventures meeting authors IRL, what surprised us, and why book people are the best people. Plus, we circle back to the books we committed to in the last episode — did we actually read them? (Spoiler: someone might be falling behind 👀). And of course, we shout out some of our favorite BookTokers who are currently fueling our reading habits and making our wallets cry. It’s a cozy, chaotic, and very bookish catch-up.

In this episode, we dive into the world of blind book recommendations — no covers, no context, just vibes. Kailani throws a stack of mysterious reads at Dad, and somehow, miraculously, convinces him to finally read one. 🥳 We’ve officially committed to reading each other’s picks… but will our TBR truce hold strong, or totally backfire? Tune in to find out which books sparked our interest, and whether we’re about to regret everything.
