Can I Bring My Book: The podcast where besties meet books… and sometimes get emotionally derailed by magical realism.

This week, Amanda and Kat dive deep into their bestie read of The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown—and it’s anything but spoiler-free.

NOTE: There are spoilers ahead. Proceed at your own caution.

We’re talking magical realism, time travel, secret libraries, mysterious mentors, and a plot twist that hit us harder than we expected (seriously, we’re still recovering).

We cover:

• The Book of Doors and its time-bending powers

• Wild fan theories (Is Mr. Webber secretly Hugo? Could Cassie have become the Woman?)

• The emotional devastation of thinking Izzy was dead

• Loopy time loops, unlocked fears, and questionable time-travel ethics

• Favorite relationships (London + Izzy, Cassie + Drummond)

• Our favorite magical books (The Book of Pain, Health, Illusion, and more)

• A new scale: “More baby than Gandalf”

This book broke Kat in the best way and gave Amanda some notes—and it made for one of our most passionate book chats yet.
