Chick Lit Book Club Podcast

The ladies are back from a brief hiatus! We’re taking a trip to the Reidiverse, or the RCU, by discussing Totally Folked by HRH Penny Reid. We may be a little biased as the heroine is literally Rae from Cleveland, and our own Rae from Cleveland might be having an existential crisis. They also discuss Covid (wear a mask and get your shots, people), Veronica drinking the Ted Lasso Kool-Aid, and what 80s fantasy they want to live in for a day.

You can purchase Totally Folked by Penny Reid here, or inquire at your local bookstore.

Next Book: Beach Read by Emily Henry

We’ve got a guest in da house! The ladies are joined by special guest, Sunny, to break down American Queen by Sierra Simone. For most of her adult life, Greer has been in love with two men, who happen to be best friends. One the President of the United States, the other, his running mate. Who will she choose? Or is there a third option? The ladies also discuss the newest podcast spokesdog Bucky Barnes, whether or not Veronica can stick the landing, and that belief that sound is language and each language is our own. Sponsor us, SAFELITE and PASSIONFLIX!

You can purchase American Queen by Sierra Simone here, or inquire at your local bookstore.

On this week's episode, the ladies were lucky enough to get an ARC of Emma Jackson’s Sleepless in Sicily and even had the opportunity to have a sit down with Emma herself. Our interview is included in the episode and we can easily say she is an absolute delight.

Sleepless in Sicily begins with a magical meetcute between an American makeup artist with crippling social anxiety and a drop dead gorgeous British movie star. Will Lila be able to find a way to cope with intrusive paparazzi to find love with Rowan? You’ll have to read and find out! They also discuss Lilith Fair performers which leads to a lot of off-key singing, Rae gushes over Ted Lasso season 2, and the ladies discuss why you should always bring a potato to a desert island.

Because Emma is the greatest, she gave us a link to her Spotify playlist, which you can find here. You can purchase Sleepless in Sicily by Emma Jackson here, or inquire at your local bookstore.

Rae has never been in a Street Fight before, however, she’s about to go Chun-Li on a certain southern writer. The ladies go on a Nicholas Sparks journey that essentially ends in rage. They talk about Safe Haven, whether or not Nicholas Sparks actually writes romance, and why trigger warnings are important. Also, remember when Josh Duhamel was a thing?  The ladies discuss his constant hair disheveling and why this quaint little oceanside town holds a special place in Rae’s heart. Nick Sparks, you’re on blast!

In this week's episode, the ladies handle some very serious material when they review Fighting Conviction by Greer Rivers. Fighting Conviction is Greer’s sophomore and newest release in the Conviction series. To fully discuss this book we have to give away plot points from Escaping Conviction; therefore, SPOILERS ABOUND, dear listener. We suggest you read Escaping Conviction before taking on this book and definitely before you listen to the episode. Also, please read the description and trigger warnings for both novels.

To offset the very sensitive nature of this book, the ladies bring their usual brand of blue humor, throwback references to 00’s hip hop, and ponder what would happen if Superman yeeted and skeeted someone into a car windshield.

You can purchase Fighting Conviction by Greer Rivers on Amazon.

It’s beach season, ladies and gents! What better book to enjoy lounging in the sun, drinking a fun fruity drink than My Kind of Perfect by Tracy Brogan? Veronica and Rae received an ARC of this absolutely lovely book and had a blast reading it! Lilly Callaghan must choose between sexy home town boy (Yoga) Matt or devastatingly handsome movie star Jayden Pierce. What’s a girl to do? The ladies get all fancy and talk about art, pay a stunt casting tribute to the Avengers, and are astonished by Rae’s desire for more angst in her life! Also, special shout out to the wonderful Veronica for the publishing of her very informative and heartfelt op-ed on a very important subject.

You can purchase My Kind of Perfect by Tracy Brogan from Amazon or inquire at your local bookstore.
