    Summary

    Happy blackout Wednesday, everybody! This week, we are getting a FIRM grasp on The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata. When football player Aiden Graves is due for a work visa renewal, he is left with two choices: 1. Renew his visa or 2. Marry his assistant? Although Vanessa Mazur just quit being Aiden's assistant due to his cold and demanding nature, she finds herself saying yes to a marriage of convenience...for the right price of course. Will Aiden and Vanessa be able to pull off this marriage for 5 years, let alone 5 minutes?!

  • 69: Dante, is That You? (Phantasma Pt. 2)

    Get cozy, book babes — in this episode of Softcover Podcast, your two favorite besties tackle part two of Phantasmaby Kaylie Smith (aka: the trials, the trauma, and the oh-so-delicious chaos all the way to the end).

    We’re diving into why we live for a modern twist on Dante’s Inferno, debating the true criteria for a certified fuckboy, and unpacking why your soul might recognize someone even if you’ve been cosmically ghosted for a few centuries. Casual.

    Expect laughter, light shade, literary thirsting, and the kind of unhinged commentary that only Softcover can deliver.

    ✨ If you love book talk served with sass, spice, and questionable opinions, this episode is your new obsession.

    👉 Press play,
    👉 Follow Softcover, and
    👉 Share this episode with a bestie who would absolutely fail a Phantasma trial.

    Because honestly? Good podcasts deserve to be chosen.

  • 68: Maybe No More Bargains (Phantasma Pt. 1)

    Bargains are officially so last year—but betrayal? That’s timeless. In this week’s episode of Softcover Podcast, your favorite bookish besties dive into Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, and breaking it into two part for you. We’re talking eerie bargains, Dante-level world building, and the gut punch of realizing maybe you don’t know your closest people as well as you thought.

  • 65: No Vacancy, Just Vibes (A Witche's Guide to Magical Innkeeping)

    Welcome back, witches — spooky season is here, the vibes are immaculate, and your favorite chaotic book besties are officially hexing the algorithm. 🧙‍♀️✨

    This week on Softcover Podcast, we’re diving broom-first into A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna — a story about grief, ghosts, and the kind of emotional damage you can’t fix with a spell (trust us, we’d try).  We’re talking elephants that never forget (and apparently neither do we), how “closed door” scenes might just be author code for he came too fast, and how sometimes the real magic is the healing we do ourselves — even if it’s a little messy.

    So come check in for a spell, unpack your emotional baggage, and sip on a potion (or a pinot) while we spiral over fictional men and ghostly goodbyes. ✨

    If you love witchy chaos, messy emotions, and unfiltered book talk — listen, follow, and share this episode! Leave us a five-star review or risk being cursed with a lifetime of bad book boyfriends. 💋🪄

  • 64: Respectfully, F a Rock (The Ex Hex)

    Witches, grab your candles and your chaos — spooky season has officially entered the chat. 💅🕯️

    This week on Softcover Podcast, your favorite bookish besties are hexing exes and stirring up trouble with The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling. We’re talking about how all men are dogs (and not the cute kind), how the ley lines of Graves Glen are basically spewing magical farts, and why three is still a crowd — even if one of you happens to be invisible. ✨👻

    It’s flirty, it’s funny, it’s slightly feral — just how we like our fall reads. So pour yourself a PSL, put on your coziest witchy sweater, and cackle along as we dive headfirst into curses, chaos, and questionable romantic decisions.

    💋 Hit play, follow Softcover Podcast, and share this episode with your favorite witchy bestie — because love spells are temporary, but bad decisions are forever.

  • 63: Maybe Don’t Socialize with Psychos (Worth the Fight)

    This week on Softcover Podcast, your two bookish besties are diving into Worth the Fight by Bella Matthews — and let’s just say, hanging with a psycho usually doesn’t end well 👀. We’re chatting about red flags, redemption arcs, and why we melt when our favorite characters actually take care of their mental health (even if it takes a gentle nudge from the people who love them). Plus, we’re raising our coffee mugs to the women who lift each other up — because female friendships really are the backbone of every great story 💪✨

    And hey, take this as your reminder to check in with yourself today. Your mental health matters just as much as your main character energy 💖

    💬 Tune in now for laughs, bookish banter, and a whole lot of heart. Don’t forget to follow, share, and leave a review so more readers can join our Softcover squad! 🎧📚
