This episode of Reading Under the Covers, a romance novel podcast, is giving major book club energy. I’m joined by my longtime bookish BFF Amanda (we’ve been fangirling together since 2012!) for a cozy catch-up on everything she’s been reading and loving lately.

We’re chatting about:

💬 Her obsession with cheating tropes

🐺 What to read if you loved Fourth Wing

💻 A steamy cam couple romance series that’s actually hilarious

🧛‍♂️ Unfiltered thoughts on the Black Dagger Brotherhood adaptation

📚 Her top three brothers

🧠 How we really feel about romantasy vs fantasy romance

🌌 Most anticipated reads for the rest of 2025

So grab your coffee (or wine) and come hang out with us!
