Our Mid-Year Book Ranking: January to June Reads

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, and laugh through the titles that made them question their life choices. It's a fun, fiery recap of the reading highs and lows that shaped the first half of their year, complete with banter, bold takes, and plenty of “how did we end up here?” moments.
