  • Red Flags, Sparkles and Chaos
    Jul 9 2025

    In this chaotic and hilarious premiere episode of Booked & Bitter, Abbey, Krystalynn and Mandy sink their fangs into the sparkly teen empire that is Twilight. From midnight book releases to sparkly stalker vampires, the trio debates whether Edward Cullen is a dreamboat or a walking red flag, argues the math behind love triangles, and laments Bella Swan’s pick-me energy. Abbey reads Twilight for the first time, Krystalynn defends her high school obsession, and Mandy regrets everything—especially letting her daughter read steamy vampire romances at age nine.

    Plus, the crew introduces a few new segments: “Let’s Get Bitter,” where Abbey vents about a compulsive one-upper (and her delicious revenge), and “Currently Reading,” where they talk King, chaos, and whatever romance novel is currently ruining their emotional stability. They also shout out their favorite local bookstore, Lit on Fire, a Peoria gem and safe haven for all book lovers.

    It’s dramatic. It’s messy. It’s definitely not the first time they’ve recorded this. And as always, they’re tatted, chatted, and slightly dramatic.
