We are officially in our Emily Henry movie era! With People We Meet On Vacation dominating the timeline this week, everyone is looking for that next great story to get lost in.

If you’ve been staring at your bookshelf feeling uninspired, this episode is your emergency rescue kit. We are revisiting the six specific books guaranteed to drag you out of a reading slump, no matter how dire it is.

We’re talking about:
The modern romance that rivals Poppy and Alex’s chemistry.
A tear-jerking family saga that feels like a movie in your head.
The obscure romantasy series we bet you haven’t heard of (but will obsess over).

Consider this your prescription for the long weekend: put down the phone, pick up one of these books, and prepare to be unavailable.

The Spill has a new podcast thats devoted to TV bingeing! Our latest ep contains all the fan theories, cast reveals and easter eggs about the new series of Bridgerton to get up to date before  Season 4 comes out. Listen now on Apple or Spotify or the Mamamia app.

MORNING TEA: Michael B Jordan Makes Book Girlies Rejoice & The Spice Girls Reunite For A Star Studded 50th

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/11da5243-4475-46b4-91a1-b3d90170f2c9/transcript

Spillers, we've got a special treat for your Sunday listening, from our sister podcast Watch Party - which you can find now on Spotify and Apple. 

We are officially in our "professional yearning" era. Bridgerton is almost back and in this episode, our superfans go beyond the trailer to discuss the massive production secrets, the showrunner swap, and why this season is being called the "steamiest" yet.

You'll learn more about:
Production Deep Dive: We break down the 8-month shoot, explain why the show is moving from pastel springs to a "classic rock" autumn aesthetic, and reveal what to look out for when Season 4 Part 1 drops.
The Cast Shake-Up: Who is back (and who isn't), the "curated" chemistry of the press tour, and the fan theory about a potential queer romance for a surprising character.
Fan Theories & The "Beyond": who will we see more of? Will someone die?! And will we really see a Kanthony comeback?

It’s your essential briefing on the scandals, the cast changes, and the romance before the carriage arrives for Season 4.

If you love this episode, make sure you’re following the Watch Party feed! We’ll be dropping new breakdowns when Part 1 drops on Thursday 29 January and again for Part 2 in February.
