Secrets? Check. Hot garage boys? Unfortunately, yes. Vintage cars? A whole damn parking lot of 'em. Enough sexual tension to send your Pinterest board into a full shrine of old cars captioned with men's names in pink cursive? You already know.

Join The Dames as they unpack all the drama in the viral BookTok sensation Flock by Kate Stewart. This episode features an alarming amount of enthusiasm for fictional men who should legally require a warning label. Meanwhile, Birdie spends a suspicious percentage of runtime spontaneously screaming "HOT!"...Leaving Lexx and Joey to quietly wonder if she's joined a cult!

Congratulations to us! We have officially reached 50 episodes, which is honestly terrifying because this podcast should've been put on a watchlist around Episode 3... and yet, here we are. Completely unsupervised.

Join us Dirty Dames as we celebrate this wildly unnecessary milestone the only way we know how: with cocktails, cake, chaos, and enough collective delusion to convince ourselves the morally gray guy with the dagger collection is actually "just misunderstood."

Whether you've been here since Episode 1 or you accidentally hit play because your thumb slipped, welcome. You're one of us now. Therapy has a waitlist, but this episode is available immediately.

Cheers to 50 episodes of cackling, feral book boyfriend debates, questionable opinions, and enough internet evidence to ensure we'll never be elected to public office. We regret almost nothing. And if you take away one piece of advice from this episode, let it be this:

If he doesn't kneel, call you "baby," worship the ground you dramatically stomp across, and look at you like the moon personally clocked in just to light your face...close the book. DNF the man and return him to the bookstore!!

This episode features haunted mansions, supernatural chaos, unbearable longing, deadly trials, emotional damage, and an MMC who could absolutely ruin your life...and somehow you'd still be screaming, "But he's so romantic!"

Join The Dames as they descend through all nine levels of hell with Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, the BookTok-favorite dark fantasy romance packed with gothic horror, deadly competition, and "I can save him" delusion. By the end, every red flag will look suspiciously green.

Side effects may include excessive giggling like Victorian women who've glimpsed an exposed ankle, shouting "I'd risk it all" out loud to no one, and adding yet another morally questionable man to your book boyfriend roster. Enter the mansion, and leave your common sense—and your standards—at the door.

Nobody expected a gothic Victorian romance to get everyone acting unhinged, but The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia has managed to do just that! 

Birdie was done the moment she saw the cover. Before anyone had been poisoned, bitten, or betrayed, she was already kicking her feet and twirling her hair.

Meanwhile, Lexx is fighting for her life against a gloriously unhinged take on the knot trope all while her historical fact-checking genes activate around Chapter 3 and immediately begin demanding answers. 

And Joey? Well Joey has strapped on her adult bib and settled in at the all-you-can-eat buffet of banter, happily feasting on every sarcastic exchange and tension filled verbal sparring match.

Somebody call the FBI because Joey is breaking every rule of the podcast and bringing out her all-time favorite dark romance novel for this episode.  Join The Dames as they binge-read their way through The Risk by S.T. Abby.  If you like books packed with serial killer chaos, revenge plots, and one wildly unhinged FMC you would absolutely help hide a body for, then Captain Joey would like to formally welcome you to her team.

Want to meet the coolest mom ever? This Mother’s Day, The Dames welcome Lexx’s Mum for a heartfelt conversation full of her sage wisdom you won’t want to miss. Travel back in time to 1983 small town Dalton Montana courtesy of Bluebird Gold by Devney Perry. Can The Dames discuss the plot like respectful intelligent humans or will they find themselves fully derailed by vivid mental images of thick-thighed Sheriffs breaking up bar fights in Wranglers so tight they should come with a warning label?  Be serious. You already know the answer.

Birdie claimed part two was “for closure,” which is hilarious because there is no closure in this episode, but rather the continuation of a rapid, irreversible descent into the cult of male/male hockey romance...

In this special Part-2 Episode, The Dames reheat Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid for another glorious hour, all while making utterly lewd hydration choices. At this point, Birdie has dropped all pretense of normalcy and is fully feral. Someone should probably check on us- but honestly, don’t. We’re exactly as gone as we’ve always been, just louder about it now.

Birdie held the podcast hostage and threatened to quit unless we read this book immediately, so obviously we folded like a cheap lawn chair. Join The Dames as we body-check our way into Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. Is it an obsession? A commitment? A lifestyle? A cry for help? Birdie says it’s just “devouring positive content,” which apparently means consuming hockey romance at a pace that concerns medical professionals. Anyway, helmets on. We’re smashing into the boards and Birdie is absolutely in heaven.

Welcome to Episode 43 of the Lusty Library Podcast, where The Dames lace up their combat boots, apply their lip gloss, and descend into War Games by Sheridan Anne.

Two Dames are living their absolute nerd-girl fantasy, and one is rolling her eyes so hard she risks blacking out before the episode ends. Strap in as The Dames crash-land into I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming. Will the aliens' sucker tails earn them a certified hot-factor green light from The Dames, or will they get a "Hell No" like the minotaurs before them?
