Today we're rounding up our November and December reads, so if you need any last-minute book recs to close out the year, THIS IS YOUR EPISODE 👀

Thank you all so much for your patience - the GLOW discussion with author extraordinaire Raven Kennedy is finally here!

This episode does, of course, include spoilers for the Plated Prisoner series, so please keep that in mind as you're listening.

Here's an episode we had a lot of fun working on - our October and November roundups. The reading prompt for October was #WitchShit (listen for Ava's disappointing read) and for November's, it was "Read a Retelling" (listen for Steph's disappointing read). But we were also blessed with some pretty awesome books, so don't think this is JUST a rant episode!

We know it's been a minute, but we have been reading (albeit...not too much). But we wanted to take an episode to update you on the books we've been enjoying over the past few months!

We'll be talking about July, August, September, and our projected reads about October!

Let us know in the comments what your favorite read has been these past few months!

Welcome back to Fandomtastic, your one-stop pod for books, banter, and bumpin' uglies (if anyone has a better euphemism for s*x that starts with B, let us know). 

Today we're discussing 5 of the reasons why we had to jump into an unplanned hiatus this past summer. We know, we know, this isn't exactly the steamy discussion you're used to, but we can promise it's absolutely full of chaos and shenanigans. We're really excited to be rolling out more episodes for you! Don't forget to check out our Instagram @fandomtasticpod for more updates! 

This episode is a little different, but I hope you enjoy an interview I (Ava) conducted with my friend, Britt; Britt is a force of the bookish industry!

She's a bookstagrammer (@bibliobrittish), worked social media for an independent bookstore, and currently works for Bloomsbury (aka. Sarah J Maas's publisher). In this episode, Britt takes us behind the curtain, per se, to explore the backend of the bookish industry.

Happy Monday, patrons! We're finalizing our May reads (a few days early, yes - but hey, it's been a slow reading month) and chit-chatting about June, aka Queertastic aka Read Something Gay!

The books mentioned:

- The Chorus of Dragons series by Jenn Lyons

Hi patrons!

This week's episode is dedicated to all things Lisa Kleypas (by which we mean, her historical romances, not her contemporaries haha). Please note this episode will contain spoilers for her Wallflowers, Hathaways, and Ravenels series!

It will also contain:

- A minor (major) rant about Devon

And more!

Today we're discussing everything WANDERLUST: books, destinations, and most importantly, food. 

(Warning: this episode may cause you to feel VERY hungry)
