HEY HBs! Holly and Nat our here with Regarding the Duke by Grace Callaway! Our first AMNESIA BOOK. But, we have some content warnings. This book leans heavily on the fetishization of....Sultans. We were also surprised. So there is much discussion on the page of (consensual) sex slave role play and the white MMC role playing a sultan. We want you to go in with open eyes and ears.

Bonus Content: The worst kids that have ever been in a romance, Harry Kent (not a euphemism), female cow names, leaning into birthday weekends, and how nice it would be if someone made us a schedule everyday.

Lady Loves:

Holly - canned wine!

Nat - just forget vegetables and sleep for one weekend, because, HEY! It's your birthday.

Oh heyyyy! Bree Hill from The Categorically Romance podcast and @bree.unabashedly on Instagram is here to help Mel recap The Best Man! Woo, this movie is soooo 1999 and it took us back. Terrence Howard is smizing all over the place, Tae Diggs is a commitment-phobic literary bro, and Sanaa Lathan voluntarily leaves a very luxurious bathtub! Plus, forehead kisses and Stevie Wonder dance breaks.

Make sure to check out The Categorically Romance podcast and follow Bree!

Lady Loves:

Bree: throw on an old sitcom and relax! The nostalgia really helps you turn off your brain.

Mel: the Women & ADHD podcast with Katy Weber! She's another woman who didn't get diagnosed until adulthood and all her guests are in the same boat. It's a unique perspective that's so validating as another woman who wasn't diagnosed until a few years ago!

Helloooooooo! It's Mel's favorite time! It's ALIEN TIME!!! Boy are Nat and Mel here to piece together world-building that's been established over an entire series... because this is the final book! Mel still loved it, and it didn't quite overcome Nat's natural avoidance of alien romance. But wow there's some hot sex and WILD seeds planted for the next series!

Bonus Content:

Beer coozies with CHEESE POCKETS, miniscule alien technology, French tents, and so much more!

Oh hello! Mel's brother's wedding was the weekend before she moved her whole house and family and life. In other words, things are nuts over here! So you get an encore of A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest! Or, as we’re calling it, 50 Shades of Twilight: A Tale of Teenage Stockholm Syndrome. Full disclosure, we didn’t necessarily *like* this book, but we cannot wait to give you a hilarious after-school special about why we didn’t. We present a *very special episode* about what the kids are reading these days.

Self Love Recommendations:

- Watch Big Little Lies on HBO or something else where talented people are slaying the game.

- Listen to the last 15 minutes of The Ringer's Binge Mode. In the final episode there's a beautiful oration about not being ashamed for your interests and escapism. Plus, best friends gush about each other, which you know we LOVE!

Episode Notes:

If you like excellent vampire tales, be sure to check out American Vampire wherever you get your comics! Scott Snyder is the main writer and they've had arcs with Stephen King and more.

And quick *CORRECTION* from this episode, "women in refrigerators" or "getting refrigerated" began in the 90's with Green LANTERN, not Green Arrow. Either way, I think we can all agree that ladies should be fully formed characters instead of merely plot devices, right? Thank goodness even mainstream comics have seen the light since then!

Here is part 2 of Annika Martin's The Billionaire's Wake-Up-Call Girl! Nat and Sara deep dive into what the definition of a "perfect summer walking skirt is", there are CUCUMBERY dicks(??), they still love this book, btw, and they will keep saying it, all throughout part 2.

Lady Loves:

Sara - two very bingeable shows: Crashing on Netflix featuring a manic pixie Jonathan Bailey and Starstruck on HBO Max where a normie has a one-night-stand with a celebrity.

Nat - Nguyen Coffee Supply, they are the best

Hey Pals, some shit has gone down in Erin's world and there's just no way she can be a main pillar of the podcast anymore. She's healthy, she'll be ok, but she needs to focus on her. So, she's still part of the community and she'll be back sporadically, but we can all support her by sending healing thoughts to Alaska and appreciating everything she's given us for the past 4 years. X-files clips and figure skating gossip wouldn't go amiss either.
