Lit Sh*t

It's been a while since we've done any kind of get-to-know-us episode, so today we're asking each other important questions about our literary preferences.  What worlds would we want to live in?  What's our fictional dream house?  Whose powers would we steal? 

Join us for our recap of our first four seasons!  We talk about which books were our favorites, which let us down, the one we all hated, and which authors we're still reading off-pod.

For the last podcast of Season 4, we discuss the amazing book Reel by Kennedy Ryan. This book is powerful and emotional with top notch steamy romance!  Standing ovation for Neeva and Canon in this love letter to black history and art they embody.

In this episode, we discuss Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh.  We discuss how crazy Lijuan is and how much we LOVE the baby angels and of course our favorite Illium.

We talk about "The Hawk" by Monica McCarty.  We learn some Scottish history.  We make Outlander comparisons.  We discuss romance stereotypes and disagree on this book.

We discuss Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward.  We get a new twist on vampires, and they're bros.  We love a good redemption story.  We love rooting for these characters!

We talk about "Rebel" by Beverly Jenkins.  We have mixed reviews but appreciate the historical context.  We discuss story development and how to build dramatic tension.

We talk about "Red, White, and Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston.  We fall head over heels for these characters.  Erica's royals fangirling comes out.  We share our dreams for Texas politics.  We stan.

We discuss "Something to Talk About" by Meryl Wilsner.  We deep dive into character development, romantic chemistry, and what hooks us in a story.

We discuss "Darkfever" by Karen Marie Moning.  We have more questions than answers.  We reminisce about early 2000s fashion.  We have no idea how to pronounce "sinsar dubh."  Plus, does this book even count as romance?
