- Episode 79 - Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
Send us Fan Mail
Potentially our most chaotic episode yet? Sarah Jane is in full fan girl mode trying to explain the plot of this book to Emily. It was indeed a challenge and quite honestly Shane & Ilya have won Sarah Jane's heart and taken over her life at this point. Should we do the rest of the Game Changers series?! Should Sarah Jane never try to explain a plot again? (I mean, yes. I think so, probably.) Will we ever leave the cottage?! DO WE EVER WANT THIS PROBLEM TO EVER GO AWAY?!

Happy holidays listeners!
We know we've been MIA for a hot minute, but we are so excited to be able to share a recent conversation Sarah Jane and Emily had with debut author Avianna Bishop and her co-conspirator, and editor, Paige Vandop about their recent book "Sacrifice".

51 min - Episode 72 - Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa
Send us Fan Mail
Happy Pride Month listeners! To kick off June, we are diving into Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa — a bold and beautifully queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice set in 19th-century London. Say farewell to Elizabeth Bennet, and give a warm welcome to Oliver Bennet, a trans teen navigating society, selfhood, and a seriously swoon-worthy Mr. Darcy. Also, Mr. Collins is way more villainous here but don't worry as not everything has been changed; Wickham is still a dick.
