Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

Rae and Veronica (mostlly Rae) landed an ARC of Falon Ballard’s second novel, Just My Type. Lana Parker is pitted against her ex-boyfriend, Seth Carson, in the battle for their dream job. Their chemistry is clearly off the charts right away, but all the history between them complicates everything. Fans of The Hating Game, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, and Friends Without Benefits might like this one. Also discussed: a horror movie turned off-Broadway musical, whether AI is going to take our jobs and then unalive us all, and

Veronica and Rae are both on the mend from their various illnesses and are wrapping up Sierra Simone month with A Merry Little Meet Cute! This co-authored book features a plus-size porn star, a former boy band bad boy, and a squeaky-clean movie being filmed in a tiny little Christmas town in the mountains of Vermont. She’s trying to pivot her career and he’s trying to revitalize his, all while hiding massive secrets on set. Can they pull it off while also pulling off each other’s clothes? Also discussed: the flu (get your shot and wear a mask!), the people we’ve met via this podcast, and the infamously incestuous Folgers commercial.

You can purchase A Merry Little Meet Cute on Amazon or inquire at your local bookstore.

We’re wrapping up our #Zapatassance with Under Locke! In Mariana Zapata’s first published book, Iris Taylor has moved from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to Austin, Texas after losing her job. Why Austin? Her half-brother Sonny lives there. Sonny gets her a job at a local tattoo shop called Pins and Needles, run by a grumpy dickhead named Dex Locke. Can a non-pierced and tattooed Iris hack it in the shop? Also discussed: RSV is awful, Veronica has been initiated into the priest kink, and holy crap this show is almost two years old.

You can purchase Under Locke on Amazon (on Kindle Unlimited as of this recording) or inquire at your local bookstore.

We also discuss the power of voting, things you can and can’t swallow, and try to keep our love of this book to a dull roar (spoiler alert: we failed).

You can purchase The Wall of Winnipeg and Me on Amazon or inquire at your local bookstore.

Wowee, this is a corker. The ladies are joined by special guest, Ween (cohost of Booze Boobs and Blood), to discuss the 4th season of True Blood which corresponds with their coverage of Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris (Episode 48). The similarities between the book and show are mostly Eric’s amnesia and there be witches, y’all. The ladies also discuss Anne Rice (duh), Taylor Swift (double duh), and the Morning Glory Milking Farm (Like, hello!, duh).
