Hi Smooches! On this episode, we're recapping I'm Engaged to Mothman, the second book in Paige Lavoie's Mothman in Love series. We previously recapped the first book with our friend and Mothman groupie Molly, so go listen to that episode if you haven't already.

February 27, 2024 "Say the Thing" and Read that Romance with Kami Orange!
Hi Smooches! On this episode, we’re chatting with boundary coach Kami Orange, author of the new book Say the Thing: Boundary-Setting Scripts and Phrases to Communicate Directly and Speak Up with Kindness. Meg and I have both separately followed Kami’s work and when we reached out to her for an interview were delighted to find out she’s a romance reader! So we talked a lot about how reading romance is fantastic for exploring boundary setting. We hope you have fun listening to this conversation, because we had a lot of fun having it.

January 16, 2024 All Things Austen with Melodie Edwards
Happy New Year, Smooches! Today, we’re talking All Things Austen with author Melodie Edwards, who has written a beautiful contemporary reimagining of Persuasion. It’s got Stars Hollow vibes with its setting of Niagara-on-the-Lake and riotous cast of characters, a hyper-competent Anne, and a swoon worthy Wentworth. You can preorder the book, which comes out in February, and you will absolutely want to after listening to this episode.

Hi Smooches! On today’s episode, which we recorded way back in September, we talked with author Annie Rains about her wonderful book Through the Snow Globe.

December 05, 2023 Holiday Gift Guide: Harm Reduction Edition
Hi Smooches! This year’s holiday gift guide isn’t going to be business as usual. We’re discussing ways to spend less money and consume more ethically this holiday season if you choose to give gifts. We talk about how even if there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, it’s our responsibility to do as little harm as possible in a society that makes doing no harm impossible. Along with ideas for where and how to shop, we recommend books we loved this year for people on your list. And it doesn’t cost a dime to speak up for the people of Palestine.

November 07, 2023 NaNoWriMo Treat: "In On The Action" by Elle Diaz, Chapter One
Hi Smooches! Today we’re doing something a little different. In honor of NaNoWriMo, I’m going to read the first chapter of my work in progress. This is from my draft of In On the Action, which is Book 2 in the Seducing Steel City series. If I were better at marketing or planning, I’d have preorder links for you, maybe a Goodreads page where you could add the title, but I’m just kind of winging this. I’m also winging narration, as I have no training in this. So enjoy this subject-to-change exclusive first listen of In On The Action by Elle Diaz, a sapphic age gap romance with tons of pining, baked goods, and getting hot and sweaty with your crush in more ways than one.
