Hot Takes and Hard Truths

Part confession booth, part group therapy, and fully bookish chaos—this interactive panel is all about saying the quiet part out loud. Hosted by Sam and Mari, this interactive panel invites the audience to jump in, shout out, or step up to the mic and respond to spicy prompts like “A book you think is overrated (respectfully),” “The bookish hill you’ll die on,” or “What you wish more readers would admit.” Come ready to laugh, confess, commiserate, and bond over the opinions you thought you were keeping to yourself.
