Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

It’s spooky season, friends, and we are ready for it! Join us in celebrating the festival of Samhain with our borderline raucous review of Dead to the World, by Charlaine Harris—otherwise known as True Blood, Season 4. When sexy vampire Eric Northman loses his memory, and with her brother, Jason, missing, Sookie Stackhouse must ignore her New Years resolution (to not get beaten up) and put her life on the line to help the supes of Bon Temps. Also discussed: the library is magical, 965 Million is a big number, please don’t put your hand down the back of our pants, and we—as Americans—don’t automatically fuck British people as soon as you hit or shores (although it’s not out of the question). Also, Rae hops in her time machine to talk to 2004 Rae, so enjoy that.

You can purchase Dead to the World on Amazon, inquire at your local bookstore, or do what Veronica did and get it from the library.

We are ending #HispanicHeritageMonth2022 with a sexy M/M romance, American Dreamer, by Adriana Herrera. Will career focused Nesto and introverted Jude be able to carve out a successful relationship while still attaining their own personal goals? I mean, duh, its a romance novel, so yes… but the dirty talk is muy caliente. Also discussed: IT’S SPOOKY SEASON, Y’ALL! Veronica makes some delicioso Dominican food, Rae drives around town like a creep, and for once both ladies have more than one bright spot.

Make what Veronica had for dinner here!

We begin #HispanicHeritageMonth with Maria Sosa’s The Worst Best Man, a tale of enemies to lovers, forced proximity, one bed, and work rivals. As Stefon would say, This Has It All. Can Lina and Max overcome their tempestuous history to land their dream jobs or will they let their love-hate relationship throw their aspirations in the backseat? Also discussed: Veronica’s new beautiful coiffure, the new amazing Little Mermaid trailer, and for some reason, a lengthy discussion on The Exorcist. Also, we met our “Make Rae Read The Entire Winston Brothers Series for Charity” goal!

You can purchase The Worst Best Man on Amazon here or inquire at your local bookstore.

We are joined by audience favorite, guest host Lee, for this second installment of the London Calling series: Husband Material by Alexis Hall. A Four-Weddings-and-a-Funeral-inspired romp that gives a wonderful glimpse of life after the HEA of one of our favorite books. After two years, are Luc and Oliver still going strong or are there troubled waters ahead? Also discussed: new jobs, major therapying, and pickle embargoes. Plus, @therealadamandeve don’t mess with us, we think your printing error is worth one SPONSORSHIP.

Your favorite saucy ladies are diving into a spicy romantic suspense that has been on our TBR for the entire existence of the podcast. How in the world could a blood-sworn protector of the British Crown find a happy ending with an anti-loyalist who killed the King? Maria Luis has the answers and you’re probably going to like them. Doubting the morally grey hero? Saxon might just convert you. Also discussed: KARMA, Rae’s hatred of mafia romance, and supportive non-listeners. And for those wondering, Winnie is a Gryffindor.

The ladies delve into the recently released Book Lovers by Emily Henry. When two New Yorkers enmeshed in the literary world collide in a small North Carolina town by what could be considered kismet, the sparks fly. A girls trip with her sister sends literary agent Nora Stephens into uncharted territory, an idyllic Hallmark-esque small town. Her sister has plans for this month-long vacation, and work colleague Charlie Lastra throws a wrench into the highly curated ‘things to do’ list. When Charlie becomes a bullet point on her ‘to do’ list, will Nora overthink it or live a little. What happens when the Big City comes calling? Also discussed: Rae has an aneurysm about AJ, Veronica proves to be the most awesome human, and there is DEFINITELY a book called Probed on amazon (it’s MMMF)

We are closing out Penny Reid month with Homecoming King! It’s a tall friends to lovers tale of what’s too good to be true for you might not be the best for someone else. The ladies absolutely gush over this book–Rex’s marriage of convenience scheme, Abby’s ‘placeholder’ definition, and of course, can someone 6’2’’ be given the moniker ‘shorty’. Also discussed in the episode: Rae has some THOUGHTS about the season 3 of Bridgerton, Veronica discovers what her rom-com secondary character is, and stunt casting is *interesting*. Listen to the end to find out why Rae is spraying herself with water!

We are vibrating with excitement to talk about the new Netflix’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, and Henry Golding. For those of you jonesing for a little Bridgerton-era love to tide you over until season 3, look no further! Similar to Austen adaptations like Mansfield Park (1999) and Emma (2009), director Carrie Cracknell delivers an amuse bouche of cinematic romantic comedies to breathe life into an otherwise over-tread storyline. The ladies also discuss the announcement of Penny Reid truly having her own PCM and they decide their ‘must have’ scenes from each book.

Rae throws down the gauntlet for Women’s Reproduction Health. If we reach a donation of $100, she will read all the books in the Winston Brothers series and write reviews for each. *With the exception of that Scarlett’s book that sounds like she’d be Virginia Woolfe-ing herself. All proceeds will to go to the “Let's Make The Dreamy Creamy Summer Count” fund which aides Apiary for Practical Support, finding safe avenues for abortions and womens reproductive health. You can donate here.

It’s PENNY REID APPRECIATION MONTH! We kick off this holiest of months with a review of Penny’s 2015 novel, The Hooker and the Hermit, co written by L.H. Cosway. International rugby star and anger management sufferer Ronan Fitzpatrick needs an image rebrand and social media guru Annie Cartel is just the person to do it. This would be a match made in publicity heaven if Annie wasn’t a socially inept savant and Ronan a rapacious lothario with a newly instilled ‘love em and leave em’ attitude. Also discussed: Rae’s obsession with pickles, how we are living in a quagmire of despair, and our joint love of the tv show, Wings.

Upon the upcoming release of Circling Back to You by Julie Tieu we are re-releasing our episode in which we feature this friends-to-lovers workplace romance! You can pre-order the novel before it publishes July 12th on Amazon. 

We close out Asian Heritage month with an ARC of Circling Back to You by Julie Tieu (releases July 15). Coworkers Cadence and Matt end up teammates on a mission to close a real estate deal that Matt is having a hard time closing on his own. As a result, Cadence’s planned vacation turns more into a work trip complete with networking, shmoozing, and golf. Will these friends be able to acknowledge their romantic feelings for each other - or will potential job opportunities in different cities keep them apart? The ladies also discuss Laura Dern being a badass in Jurassic Park, Matching Rom-Com Love Exclamations to the corresponding movie, The Surreal Life (thank you, internet), how we actually have a book reference for our Year of Sex Card, and the absolute impossibility that Rae still has pretty skin, despite her lackluster skincare regimen. If you’d like what you hear and want more – first, BLESS YOU – and second, please consider donating to our Patreon. You’ll get early access to episodes and join a community of like minded #buttbiters.
