This was recorded later on a Tuesday night, so some meds have worn off, some are kicking in, and Kris and Tara get lost in a field of rabbit holes… and recommendations! They answer your questions about cartoon covers in lesfic and the comfort reads they return to repeatedly.

Even better? Their recommendations are all brand new lesfic releases. The stars have aligned and you, dear listener, will benefit.

Official Recommendations

From Kris: Aubrey McFadden is Never Getting Married by Georgia Beers This week, Kris recommends Georgia Beers's new romance, Aubrey McFadden is Never Getting Married, which she describes as a "warm hug of a book." It's structured around the five weddings that Aubrey McFadden has to attend in the presence of the woman who convinced Aubrey's fiance to break off their engagement when she was in her twenties. It’s a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story that’s full of love, weddings, and pretty low angst.

From Tara: Houseswap 101 by Jaime Clevenger This week, Tara recommends Houseswap 101 by Jaime Clevenger. Tara loved this book because it gave her the "housebutch" she she never knew she needed. She appreciated the depiction of the early days of someone discovering their bisexuality and it has a cute dog that you definitely wouldn't want to pick up. This is a strong recommendation and it even made it into her Kindle favourites list for easy future rereading.
