Welcome to Hot & Bothered, a conversation between two friends, 

Laura Brounstein

 & 

Hitha Palepu

talking about the hot books they're reading, the issues that are bothering them, and more.

Books we talk about this week:

• Laura: OG fave Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Devereaux
• Hitha: Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tuli

The issues bothering us:

• The fall of the American empire? 
• Is Trump a William McKinley 2.0, or if Lindbergh had won the presidency alternate reality? (Ie. Like in The Plot Against America.)

What's making us hot:

• The emerging respect for the romance genre
• ‘Vacation reading’
  • Hitha’s recommendation: Empress of Rome series by Kate Quinn
• Bridget Jones: All About The Boy
• Infrared saunas
