Dem is our co-host of the week ( or two weeks) , and we’re tackling the chaotic truth behind “Hobby Reading? That’s a Thing!” We joke about how buying books and reading them are totally different hobbies, question what makes someone a real bookworm, and ask whether reading is a hobby, a trend, or a TikTok-fuelled smutty takeover. It’s fun, self-draggy, and full of unhinged reader energy—perfect for anyone with more unread books than shelf space.

Ben is back as co-host, and this week we’re diving into the wonderfully chaotic world of bookish abbreviations. We sort out the difference between genres—like Romantasy, Romance, Dark Romance, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi—and the tropes hiding inside them, from HEA to HFN and everything in between. We try to decode what readers are talking about, take some wildly wrong guesses, and laugh our way through the shorthand that the book world insists we should already know. It’s playful, silly, and packed with “wait… that’s what it means?” moments.

We’re kicking off our brand-new format and Ben is jumping in as co-host for the chaos. We scroll through romance novel covers and wildly speculate about the plots, tropes, steam level, and dramatic nonsense—before finding out what the books are about. Cue shocked reactions, confident but completely wrong guesses, and uncontrollable laughter. It’s fun, quirky, and the perfect tease of the more interactive, ridiculous, and delightfully unhinged season ahead.
