Soleil, book hoarder, candle maker, and fanfic collector, finally sits down to introduce the world of Thrifted Shelf™… with one twist: her co-host (and husband) doesn’t read. At all. What follows is equal parts chaos, cozy vibes, and marital banter as they talk reading quirks, their love-hate relationship with movies, the birth of the modernized used bookstore, and the important question: new book smell or old book smell?

In this episode, Soleil counts down from #20 to #1 the highest-rated best-sellers on Goodreads — each with a 4.3+ average rating and over 30,000 reviews. From magical fantasy to historical heartbreak, these are the books readers can’t stop recommending.
