Jayce Reads Romance

I am enjoying the new format of forearms. That I only share when I have enough I believe are worth sharing. It does mean that Sephie never knows when we are recording an episode.

I am reading! And reading a little bit more. I share all the books I read in April, up to our recording date. Final reading and purchasing stats will be in the show notes.

Getting back in the groove… a little bit. I had very light reading months as I recover. It was nice to share with Sephie, even if the amount is less than we are used to. I’m going to continue to “soft DNF” when I’m not feeling a book anymore. I highly recommend joining me in this.

After I joined Kay and Elle on an episode of their podcast, I was thinking about books I would want to read with them. This book was at the top of the list. It shook me when I read it in 2024. I loved returning to it with others.

Tote bags have been the biggest (volume wise) accumulation of bookish swag. There are many ways I've gotten tote bags, but the result is over 40 that live in my office. They take up a lot of space.

I've been hiding this audio for almost a year! Just because I took them out of 2025 rotation, doesn't mean I stopped noting them. It felt so good making Sephie laugh like this. I hope you enjoy it!

This is a lighthearted conversation. I know there are some visuals you might not get. That's okay. Sephie and I talk about the expectations put on readers to have large, curated, aesthetically pleasing bookshelves. We share what works for us. And hopefully make you laugh.

I'm so grateful that Michael finally gave in for this plan of mine. I am not a gay man, so I cannot confirm whether the books written by woman are less true to the experience that if it's written by a man.

Let us know if you have books that you feel are great or terrible examples.

It is rare that I'm able to ask a question in so many panels. I thought I would get maybe one or two in. Not 10! I am so grateful for the space Love Ya'll created. I have such FOMO about not being there this year. Enjoy!

I share with Sephie all the books that I read in January. This was a small reading month for me. Self-care is more important right now as I prepare for medical leave.
