The burning passion in his eyes. The snide comments. The smouldering looks. It can only mean one thing: he hates you. Or it could mean that he loves you. So, two things, I guess. It could mean two things. We're figuring out adult, human emotions because today we're doing Hate to Love! On this passion-fulled episode, we read "The Hating Game: A Novel" by Sally Thorne and "Conventionally Yours (True Colors Book 1)" by Annabeth Albert. Today our hatefully loving hosts discuss: how romantic conventions can be, the unsung heroes of the HR department, and how this trope can go so very wrong so very quickly.

Some choices have been made lately that really should be relegated to a different timeline. Good thing we have Chuck Tingle to help remind us that love conquers all (and maybe to teach us how to fix our timeline). For this quickie, we read "Escape From The Billings Mall: A Select Your Own Timeline Adventure" by Chuck Tingle. Can our hosts make the right choices to escape from the Billings Mall? And can we maybe get that beefy unicorn's number? Listen and find out!

Is that a high-powered telescope in your pocket are you are just happy to...wait, how the hell did you fit a high-powered telescope in your pocket?! That's right, dear listeners, our love is taking you to the stars because today we're doing astronomers! On this celestial episode, we read "Cosmic Rendezvous (Kimani Romance Book 133)" by Robyn Amos, and "The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics: Feminine Pursuits" by Olivia Waite. For this cosmic voyage, our hosts discuss hair shenanigans, the finer points of needlepoint, and make believe cowboy sex.

Well, November has ended, which means that so has NaNoWriMo 2020. Did our hosts reach their 50K word goal? Did they finish their novels? Have they been published already? Are they already best sellers? Why haven't you read their best-selling books?! We answer these questions and more as our hosts reflect back on the month and their NaNoWriMo experience.

November is almost over, which means that our hosts are in the final stretch of trying to write their romance novels. Has anyone fallen in love yet? Have there been throbbing members and budding nipples? Claire and Neil share how the processes is going for them, share some of their novels, and answer Christine's probing questions.

It's NaNoWriMo and our authors/hosts have made it half way! Today we check in to ask the pressing questions: How's it going? Is it still going? Have our hosts written more? Or have they collapsed into piles of self-pity and tears? Only one way to find out! Our hosts share how they've been doing so far as well as answer another round of probing questions by Christine.

It's that time of year again! It's National Novel Writing Month! And to celebrate, Neil and Claire are both attempting to write romance novels! For this first check-in episode of the month, our new novelists check in about how things are going so far, answer some of Christine's questions, and share passages from what they've written so far! Do these catty critics have the chops to write their own romances? Hopefully by the end of November we'll find out!

Is that a bump in the night, or are you just happy to see me? Whether it's the blood oozing out of the walls or the screams of tortured souls trapped between this realm and the next, there's nothing quite so sexy as a haunted house! Which is why we're bringing you this extra special, extra spoopy BONUS episode! This time around we read "Darkhouse (Experiment in Terror #1)" by Karina Halle and "Restless Spirits" by Jordan L. Hawk. On today's ectoplasmic episode, our haunted hosts discuss sexy seances, spoopy self-esteem issues, and the pros and cons of when the butler did it.

Here at FMK were all about opening up our...book covers, and gushing some....feelings. So today we're doing Romance Book Clubs! To get our blood (and brains) going, we read "The Bromance Book Club" by Lyssa Kay Adams and "Meet Cute Club (Sweet Rose Book 1)" by Jack Harmon. In this stimulating episode, our well-read hosts discuss: tearing down the (literal) walls of your relationship; why it's important to actually tell people that you have a book club; and the sexiest literature of all - feminist manifestos.

We try not to get political here at FMKlit, but we just couldn't help ourselves! But, of course, we're approaching politics through the most level-headed and straightforward medium: romance! For today's special Quickie, we read "My Antifa Lover: A Riot of the Heart: Steamy Romance Against Fascism" by Jessica Stranger. Strap in, kids, because this book is as nuts as the current election cycle.
