Hiya, dreamers ✨

Join Anna and Ashley in this week’s episode as they tussle with their Monday madness and ponder what it means to be a book girlie in a corporate world. This one’s a faithful spiral—no single destination, just a constellation of realizations and epiphanies. So cozy up, dreamer. Things are about to get existential up in here.

Surprise, Dreamers!
You’re in for a treat. Part 2 of our wonderful interview with the lovely Liselle Sambury is here! 🎉

This surprise episode drop is in honor of the release of her latest book, A Mastery of Monsters, and what better way to celebrate than with more Liselle?

Join Ashley and Camille as they attempt a rapid-fire round of questions… only to immediately get delightfully sidetracked (you know how it goes). What starts off quick and snappy turns into a deeper, more hilarious conversation where we really get to know Liselle.

She shares her favorite fictional characters, go-to authors, and even which fictional world she thinks she’d actually survive in, and that’s just the beginning.

Hit play, Dreamers, this one’s a gem. ✨

Calling all dark academia and fantasy lovers! ✨📚 In this special episode, we’re joined by the brilliant Liselle Sambury to talk about her upcoming release, A Mastery of Monsters 🐉🗝️. From secret societies to monstrous mysteries, Liselle takes us deep into her worldbuilding process, shares the inspirations behind her latest trilogy, and even drops a few exclusive sneak peeks 👀🌌. This is one you don’t wnat to miss dreamers!

Hey dreamers! Join Camille and Anna for a quick, heated yap as they dive into fictional worlds and ask: Would we survive? From Austenland to Westeros, tune in for some unpredictable fate-guessing and a whole lot of laughs!

Hiya, Sweet Dreamers! ✨ This one was simply too fun to record 🎧. Listen in as we deep dive and discuss all the tropes we love to hate 📚. It’s time to yap, cackle, and teehee 🤭. Join in for the giggles and hot takes!

Hello dreamers 💫,

Oh,  do we have a treat for you 🍬🎙️! We had the immense pleasure of talking to the one and only Lucy Rose about her thrilling (and nauseating, in the best way, of course 🤢❤️) debut novel ‘The Lamb’ 🐑📖. This haunting twist of folklore left us contemplating the thin line between desires of the flesh and desire for flesh -  leaving us hungry for more than food… 

Listen in as we breakdown:

- carrot-driven research

- the art of crafting folklore

- and suspending time in fiction 💌🎧. 

We’re SAT and enraptured as Lucy schools us on the balance between starvation and satiation. Every gritty, gore-filled detail kept us readers morbidly hooked 🔪👀. 

This episode is a steamy, spooky, silly hotpot of only the most interesting topics 🔥. Honestly? 80% of this episode is just Lucy being our therapist 🛋️🧠 and casually dropping TED Talk-level insights 🎤✨, while simultaneously being a very wholesome girliepop DMC 💖.

Hey Dreamers,

In this episode, Ashley and Anna Maria have a slight existential crisis on the eve of Ashley's 30th birthday.
