✨ Twilight in 2025: Cringey or Classic? ✨
The Sippin’ on Spice Book Podcast is taking a sparkly stroll down memory lane with a hilarious deep dive into Twilight! In this laugh-out-loud episode, we revisit the iconic 2008 movie in 2025 and ask the big question: Does Twilight still hold up, or is it pure cringe?

Join us as we spill all the tea on Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and Jacob Black—from Edward’s brooding stares to Jacob’s shirtless moments, and of course, Bella’s… questionable choices. 😂 We share what it’s like to rewatch Twilight as adults, after once being obsessed as teenagers with the books and movies. Spoiler alert: it’s even funnier (and more awkward) than we remembered!

If you’re a Twilight fan, a recovering Twihard, or just love a good nostalgic pop culture roast, this episode is a must-listen. Grab your glitter, grab your garlic, and get ready for a very funny discussion on the love triangle that defined a generation.

On this episode of Sippin' on Spice, we're diving deep into the shadows of the romance genre. We're asking the tough questions: what is dark romance, really? Are we overusing the label, slapping it on any book with a morally gray hero or a slightly angsty plot? Is this term becoming overused - or is it not? 

We'll pour a glass and get into the heated debate of dark romance vs. gothic romance. What makes a book one and not the other? We'll dissect the tropes and aethetics. 

We are also talking about MMCs with scars and how we feel about them.

But it's not all fun and games. We're also talking about the controversial reads that put us in a total book slump. Some are very controversial and might shock you! We'll share our own experiences and opinions and we would love to hear if you agree or disagree. 

So, grab your favorite drink and get ready for an honest, unfiltered chat about romance books!

In this week’s episode of Sippin’ on Spice Book Podcast, we’re diving into Stephanie Garber’s Once Upon a Broken Heart series and recapping everything we loved about this magical, whimsical, and heartbreaking world.

We discuss if our hearts will EVER recover from Jacks as a MMC and how this book series ruined us. 

Jordan has been trying to convince Sheridan to pick up this series for ages—and now that she finally has, she’s kicking herself for waiting so long! We gush about our favorite characters (yes, there’s plenty of Jacks talk), unforgettable moments, and the way this trilogy ties together with the Caraval universe.

Join us as we break down the romance, twists, betrayals, and all the enchanting chaos of Once Upon a Broken Heart, The Ballad of Never After, and A Curse for True Love. If you’re obsessed with romantasy, fae-like magic, cursed love stories, and happily-ever-afters that come with a price, you won’t want to miss this episode.

📚 Books Discussed:
