Today we're joined by Zoey Castile (who some of you may know as Zoraida Cordova), author of a fun and steamy contemporary romance, Stripped! This is the last of the interviews where Kay's work life got in the way , so she'll be around for the rest of our December Guest-stravaganza episodes.

Thanks so much to Zoey for joining us and of course to the amazing team at Kensington for making this happen! You can check out Zoey/Zoraida around the internet at: her website (and her Zoraida site), on Twitter @ZoeyCastile/@zlikeinzorro, and Instagram @ZoeyCastile/@zoraidasolo.

Listen to this week’s episode!

TIME STAMPS:

Hello again, friends! Our sincerest apologies for the delay in posting, but November has been...kind of a mess. (You guys understand.) Anyway, today in the fine tradition of thieves everywhere, we are borrowing a wonderful tradition from our friends over at Reading the End: THE FORCENING. We each pick a media property that the other hasn't watched and...force them to watch it. It's pretty much what it says on the tin.

We're starting with Kay's pick for Chelsea, the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock film Rebecca. We do get into spoiler territory for both the book AND the movie, so skip it if you need to watch first.

We're back for another awesome author interview, this time with romance writer Roan Parrish! We also talk our current reads, give you a bonus Spooky Month rec, and talk about what we've got coming up next. You can check out Roan around the internet at: their website, their Twitter @roanparrish, and their Facebook Page. Due to scheduling fun, the transcript will be going up tomorrow, so stay tuned for links!

We love fall, we love spooky month, we are some pumpkin spice loving hags and we're here to share some of our favorite autumnal things with all of you!

Hello, friends, and welcome to another fabulous author interview episode! First things first: YOU CAN GO GET COUNTERPOINT AS WE SPEAK! Because Chelsea isn't great about holding details in her head, she says several times that the book comes out tomorrow, but luckily her mistake really just means you don't hate to wait at all to go pick up this duo of amazing rockstar romances! Otherwise, stay tuned for the first threads of hockey feelings, Anna's romantic suspense recommendations, and Kay's delightful tolerance of Chelsea's completely wandering attention. 

AnnaZabo.com. They're on twitter as @amergina. They have a Facebook Page and a Reader’s Group. They also have a Tumblr, but it’s mostly reblogs of Tom Hiddleston.

We're back with the second half of our recommenadthon summer reading wrap-up, bringing you guys more book, fic, and podcast recs to fill these slowly lengthening evenings! The first cooler snap of the year has finally hit the Midwest, and if cooler temps have yet to hit where you are, keep hope, they're a'coming! Until then, this episode is full of lady scientists, lady sociopaths, lady podcasters, and more!

Welcome back, pals, for an episode we've sort of done before, but not really! To part the curtain a little bit on the podcast magic - sometimes we record ahead of schedule, so much so that when we don't record for a bit, the reading recs can stack up. Which is where we're at now! So, instead of talking about one shared thing, we're bring you a TWO-PART, JAM-PACKED, ULTRA-REC extravaganza we're calling 'What We Read This Summer'. Part one is today, and we'll each be recommending ten things, and then in a few weeks we'll be back to recommend you ten more things. Each. That's right. Get your TBRs ready!

Thanks again to all of our wonderful patrons, we have a bonus episode featuring your chosen topic: fake dating! We want to apologize that we won't have the full transcript concurrent with the audio going live. IRL scheduling difficulties meant Kay didn't have a chance to finish everything up before she had to fly to the wilds of northern Idaho for family related shenanigans. We'll have the transcript up as soon as possible when she's back home.

Welcome back, friends! This week we're discussing the phenomenal new standalone fantasy novel Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. We're also talking about our current reads (and Chelsea judges Kay hard for another nOTP rec) and what we've got coming up next.

TIME STAMPS:

• 00:00-01:06 – Intro

We're back this week with a fantastic contemporary romance from one of our forever faves, Alyssa Cole! A Duke by Default releases tomorrow, so be sure to pre-order and get your hands on it as soon as possible. We also talk about our current reads (watch out for Chelsea shrieking in horror at one of Kay's recs, because nOTP) and what we've got coming up next.
