Heaving Bosoms

We love Thanksgiving and we LOVED this sexy Thanksgiving read! It had all the wit, heart, redemption, and STEAM we expect from a good romance novel. Plus, being back in Oregon with a teenager who is straight up goals wasn't too shabby either. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, HBs! 

Self-Love Recommendations: 

- Grab a pal and do something creative and fun. Melody is is on the happy tears train after finally starting this podcast. Also, follow @oliviawilde on instagram; you won't regret it. 

- While on Insta, head over to @bodyposipanda and follow Megan Jayne Crabbe as well! If you like that, you may want to pick up her book Body Positive Power: How to stop dieting, make peace with your body and live. She's a body positive unicorn guru and she makes the world better.

Erin and Mel read Bad Boys Undercover: Under the Wire by HelenKay Dimon, but mostly talk about how many gunshot wounds is too many for sex. Also, please welcome our new spin-off show, Logistics with Erin. 

Note: this episode was originally recorded in late October, so Ember is BACK! Don't worry for Melody, she made it.

This week Erin and Melody read their first historical with The Duchess War by Courtney Milan! This was a beautifully written and surprisingly sexy wallflower-meets-duke story that we both loved, even if the duke was less rakish than Erin had hoped. Enjoy! 

Self Love Recommendations: 

- Take a staycation if you can! Putting your worries on a shelf and being a tourist in your backyard can be very restorative. 

- Take a mental health break if you need it, drawing inspiration from figure skater Gracie Gold.

This week we read 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!

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen is a charming story about witchy sisters falling in love. This is for anyone who loved Practical Magic or Como Agua Para Chocolate, and is in the mood for a sweet, whimsical story about love in all its forms. Sorry, guys, no snark this time, just a lot of mushy goodness, and maybe some laughing through tears.

In this special pumpkin spice edition, Erin and Mel discuss Her Halloween Treat by Tiffany Reisz. This book has everything - mountain cabins, crisp leaves, flannel shirts, and a bearded handyman who wants you to tell him exactly how he should touch you. Mmmhmm yes, please.
