Hey Besties!!!

Welcome to the October newsletter!

Time is flying so fast and we can’t believe we’re already in October! September has flown by, but we’ve had so much fun celebrating the end of Iron Flame with you all! It’s been bittersweet to finally reach the end of our deep dives for the first series we discussed on the pod.

Moving into October, we have tons of fun new episodes for you all as we start to move the podcast in a new direction. We will still be making book content and deep diving into books, but want to expand the podcast and also focus on other things we’re obsessed with. We are big music girlies so we wanted to venture into making a few episodes about music! The plan is to do videos such as album deep dives, reaction videos, talk about our favorite music/ artists, and more!

We’re so excited for Fall and the spooky season to officially start! See you there!

In The Works

Since we are expanding the pod over the next few months, we would love to hear what content you would love to see! We want to make content that is fun for us to make and enjoyable for you guys!

If you follow us on our socials, you may have already seen, but we are beginning a new era for Literally Obsessed and have our first rebrand. We want to keep growing the podcast and coming up with new ideas and this rebrand is our first step into this new chapter.

We know we’ve kept you guys in the dark about merch for a loooong time. It’s actually a long, hard process and we want to make sure we are going with the best vendors and getting the best price for you all! We can’t share them just yet, but we have some fun designs made up for our first batch of merch!!! For the beginning of October, we’re actually going to be split up as Cassy is going out of the country! Be sure to wish her safe travels! Once Cassy gets back, it’ll be game time and we’ll be fully diving into more rebrand stuff and merch! We’re so excited to share it, but want to make sure we get our website and promo pictures all ready to go before we officially launch. Thanks for being patient and understanding with us! 🤎

Looking for some new books to read? We’ve got you covered bestie! Here are some of our favorite books and books on our TBR!

Priory of the Orange Tree

The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction – but assassins are getting closer to her door. Ead Duryan is an outsider at court. Though she has risen to the position of lady-in-waiting, she is loyal to a hidden society of mages. Ead keeps a watchful eye on Sabran, secretly protecting her with forbidden magic.Across the dark sea, Tané has trained to be a dragonrider since she was a child, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel. Meanwhile, the divided East and West refuse to parley, and forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

The Silent Patient

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

A Novel Love Story

Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.

Throne of Glass

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.
