Two other bookish podcasters - Nicole and the Unending TBR and The Well Read Coffee Addict - got together a while back to create the Bookish Podcast Tag, and I thought the questions looked so fun! THEN, it became even more of a challenge when Nicole suggested I try to do a version of this tag, but where I was only allowed to name Biblical Fiction books as my answers. This was easier for some questions than it was for others. If you want to listen to me struggle but also have a lot of fun while answering questions like "What book would you adapt into a Broadway musical?" or "Which fictional pet would you adopt?" and more, be sure to listen to today's episode of the Biblical Fiction Buffs podcast.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Biblical Fiction Buffs! This week on the podcast, Jenna is joined by Alysha from @fortheloveofchristianfiction (connect with her on Instagram, YouTube, or on her blog http://fortheloveofchristianfiction.blogspot.com) to talk ALL ABOUT LOVE. From gushing over their favorite swoon-worthy romances, to listing off a series of recommendations, to covering even bigger topics like “What IS Christian romance?” and “What makes a GOOD Christian fiction romance novel?” - this episode is a long one, so we recommend grabbing some chocolate, curling up with a fuzzy blanket, getting cozy, and settling in for a chatty “Girl’s Night In." Enjoy!
