Anna and Annie discuss the success of Rebecca Yarros's new book ONYX STORM, the third in the Emperyean series. Annie gives her views about why they have been huge best-sellers and the popularity of romantasy.

Our book of the week is DISAPPOINT ME by Nicola Dinan. This buzzy new novel by the author of BELLIES centres around Max, a 30 year-old trans woman who starts dating Vincent but is unsure whether she is cut out to be a trad wife. Chosen as a 'Best Book of 2025' by Stylist, Vogue, GQ, Elle and Cosmopolitan, this is funny, moving and original. We loved it.
