Bring Your Own Book

Welcome to BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly!

In the conclusion of this two-part mini-series, Nikki and Kelly deep dive into the final two books in the Fifty Shades trilogy: Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed!

Will Ana finally sign the contract, or will she violate her NDA with Christian? Will anyone actually get any  work done at their job, or will we be subject to more benign emails?? And, the question we all want the answer to: will Christian finally let Ana touch him???  There's only one way to find out...

We hope you've enjoyed this fun mini-series getting to know E.L. James' most beloved characters. Until next time, as literally everyone in this series says, "Laters, baby!" ;)

Welcome to BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly!

In this two-part mini-series, Nikki and Kelly deep dive into the original Fifty Shades trilogy!

Not many books and their authors shake up the publishing industry quite like E.L. James did with her internationally bestselling erotica, Fifty Shades of Grey. Inspired by the YA modern classic Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, this book opened the door to other lesser known BDSM romances to become mainstream. Whether you loved it, hated it, or were indifferent to it, when this book was first published in 2011, you knew of it!

Make yourself a weak, black Twinings English Breakfast tea like Anastasia, or pour yourself a more sophisticated glass of chilled Sancerre like Christian and enjoy this wild ride of an episode... Cheers!

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 3 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly. Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and share our unfiltered thoughts and opinions.

In today's special episode, we’re dishing on our latest bookish experiment... Redacted Reads!

Each BYOB host was tasked with gifting the other a book and redacting all information that could give the reader clues as to which book it was. That's right; the reader has no idea what the book is called, who wrote the book, or even what genre the book falls under! 

Was their experiment a success or a devastating failure? Will these two bookish besties remain bookish besties, or will they end up DNF-ing their Redacted Read (and friendship)? Tune in to find out!

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

This episode, the BYOB ladies are joined by Tilly to discuss #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry's Beach Read, which happens to be Nikki and Kelly's favourite Emily Henry book. Don't be fooled by the title! While this hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes melancholy book does in fact take place by a beach, we feel that the book is best enjoyed snuggled up with a cozy blanket and a warm, comforting drink. Cheers!

A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.

Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.

Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world. There, she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years.

Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative. He’s on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she left behind.

Welcome to BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly!

In this episode, Nikki and Kelly finish off their month-long Colleen Hoover experience by reading It Ends With Us.

Content/Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions on domestic violence including physical, emotional, and sexual assault.

Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

If you or someone you know is a victim or survivor of domestic abuse, please visit: www.thehotline.org (USA) or https://sheltersafe.ca/ (Canada).

Welcome to BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki and Kelly!

Surprise! We’ve got an extra special guest joining us... It's Kelly's husband, Scott!

In this episode, Kelly and Scott strike a bargain: he will read Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash and in return, she will learn how to play one of his favourite past times, Magic the Gathering. Did Kelly learn the rules of MTG? Did Scott like his first ever romantasy? Will Kelly and Scott's marriage SURVIVE?! (Spoiler alert: yes.)

As most of you already know, Kelly has been obsessed with this series for a long time. She previously managed to wrangle Nikki and Tilly into reading From Blood and Ash for season 1 before Nikki continued on in the series and they recorded an episode in season 2 on The War of Two Queens.
