Hey HBs! Erin and Melody are here recapping The Prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe! It features feminist icon Florence "Fuck Yeah" Greene (thanks, JenReadsRomance), the most inconveniently huge and beautifully scarred hero Clayton Madden, and as many gamblings as England Times New York can offer! But really, uptown-debutante-comes-to-dark-souled-king-of-a-criminal-empire-to-ask-for-mentoring-about-running-an-illegal-casino is one of the best premises we've ever read. And SO HOT!

Bonus Content: 

Erin hurt her foot!, Melody is frustrated by her town's Black Lives Matter response, we contemplate the alternate reality in which Clay doesn't start in a billiards-type poolhouse, but rather a cabana-boy-type poolhouse (now accepting fanfic), grafting??!, reading 4 Joanna Shupe books has turned Erin into a scholar of England Times New York (thanks, girl!), more Vocabulary Brilliance with Heaving Bosoms, platonic friends can be hot, #brotherstuff, #twinstuff, #yougetyourfreakonflorence, McFlurry Mulligans!, breakfast burritos in England Times New York, more! secret! passages!, and finally, "Getting Your Melody On?"

Here's a great roundup of orgs you can donate to and support Black Trans Lives. 

Lady Loves: 

Erin: if you need a brain break, trash internet is a great place to be! Listicles, quizzes, and more! 

Melody: get you some endorphins. Get 'em. When the world is creating anxiety and stress, take care of yourself with some physical exertion! 

Patreon Shout Out: 

Elyse L., you are descended from Selene, the early Greek goddess of the moon. Ancient Origins said that Selene was as much a symbol of the glorious night as she was the proverbial light in the darkness. Not only are you that calm, thoughtful quiet often associated with the dark, You are often that safe harbor, that spot of brightness in dark times for those you love. Like the phases of the moon, Selene represents life’s constant changes, but, crucially, also provides stability in that cyclical fluctuation. And perhaps her greatest gift, was to allow mortals to dream while they slept. You take that a step further, though, helping those around you realize their dreams whenever you can.

Erin: Oreo-o Boros. If you're an eat-the-whole-package-of-Oreos-in-1-day kind of person, maybe put them in a slightly inconvenient place.

Greetings, HBs, from the 4 walls of our homes to the 4 walls of yours! In this episode, we cover chapters 11-27 of A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas! Feyre and Lucien go on a freezing danger roadtrip, Feyre gets a taste for Eris's ropes of fire, Lucien gets super abandoned in Velaris so Feyre can do some reunited boning with her one true love, Nesta is (shockingly) an even bigger bitch, Amren is still a sexy monster (but now with books!), we still can't decipher what, exactly, Rhysand's role is, and the gang is trying to save that wall! The fate of Perineum depends on it!

Bonus Content: Erin needs to apologize to you (she doesn't), it's #QuarantineTimes and HB is reflecting that, we go to the Autumn Court and it's #allbasicallthetime, Erin is a super hot task master and Melody doesn't care, Erin's got PIPING HOT TAKES, and #justiceforeris and his flaming ball gag? Plus, so much more! We really want to do the brilliance of SJM and our love for the books justice, while still remaining our goofy selves, so we're not sure how many parts this will be. Strap in and strap on, everyone!

Lady Loves:

Melody: Dye your eyebrows if you face needs more definition without effort every day!

Erin: Get into the trashiest reality TV you can find, like the dirty raccoon you are!
