Welcome to the first episode of 2026! Yay! And to start we're doing "Second Chance Reads" in other words we're revisiting books we've previously DNF and giving it a second chance to see if we were too rash in putting it down! To start we're reviewing Garron Park, a very popular MM book that we've seen circulating on TikTok quite a bit! Cat did DNF a couple years back but have we changed our minds? Listen to find out!

Beware our reviews are NOT spoiler free!

Welcome to the final episode of the year! We count down our top 5 but also bottom 5 podcast books of the year! We always have fun comparing our different (or similar) takes. We also, for the second year, did fun book superlatives and of course couldn't resist talking about our 2025 Spotify wrapped!

The long awaited episode where we review Mr Frosty Pants. A book we've been talking about on the podcast for close to four years! This is the last book we're reviewing this year so savour it! But don't forget to tune next week for our end of year wrap up!

Tune in for our SECOND coverage of KJ Charles this year. We can't help it, she's our queen! We also go through why Cat is holding her latest book grudge.

Welcome to Retro Reads month! We're reading books set out of the present! So this first book we're reviewing is set in the 1910s. So come listen to our review of this romantic book set in 1911 New York City! We also chat about the other books we've read since the last episode!

We've completed our 'authors we have beef with' month and safe to say, the beef is still beefing, if not even more beefing! Find out why in this episode, as well as our thoughts on The Life of a Showgirl, Game of Thrones and the new Heated Rivalry Trailer.

This month we're exploring books written by authors we have beef with! We've had some negative experiences but we're not willing to blacklist them just yet! Ideally we want to squash the beef! So this week Cat has picked a book by Freida McFadden who she's recently started beef with after the ending of one of her other books (The Crash) sent her into a rage! Can The Teacher turn things around? Check out the episode to find out!

We're continuing our 'love at first knot' theme with a vampire-y paranormal romance from TJ Rose. We also cover our skips from each Taylor album and talk about Cat's power of premonition!

Welcome to September's book theme "Married at first knot"! That's our cheeky way of saying we're doing supernatural romances this month and the first pick by Cat is Exhale by Joel Abernathy, a queer werewolf romance! We discuss our thoughts (spoilers ahead!) and Cat also rants about a few mystery books she's read lately and Val talks about her new hyper fixation!

We deep dive into some iconic love triangles and also discuss what could potentially be our worst book of the year.
