November 17, 2023 Episode #64: Wildfire
Wildfire makes you wish wintertime wasn't in full swing because this is THE summer camp romance we all need and want. As a kid, I always wanted to be like Hallie and Annie and go to sleep away camp and crush on the camp counselors the way Aurora and Russ orbited each other. We're convinced every guy needs to be as attentive as Russ and every girls needs to speak her thoughts like Rory because, how hot are those traits??? Can you tell there was some major gay panic while we read this, lol. Hannah Grace needs to speed it up with these cozy romances because we cannot get our hands on them fast enough.

October 20, 2023 Episode #62: Crown of Midnight
It's another Friday episode to end off your week with a bang! We're onto the second book of the Throne of Glass series and its seriously an issue at how much of a grip these books have on both of our happiness BECAUSE JFC we ARE SJM stans, through and through. Maddie is EXTREMELY far behind Tori and we are all super impressed that Tori threw Maddie for a loop when she convinced her of Celanea's true identity - she deserved an Oscar for that one. But because Tori is SO FAR ahead, she is literally itching for Maddie to catch-up (fucking slow poke)! Join us as Maddie is desperate for more Dorian and Tori twiddles her thumbs knowing everything thats coming for Maddie.
