We're back with another Hubby Hotspot episode—this time it's co-host Laney and her husband Michael in the spotlight! 💑✨

Can Michael guess Laney’s favorite tropes? Her ultimate book boyfriend? Her go-to genre when she's in a slump? Tune in to see just how well he knows his book-loving better half. Spoiler alert: things get competitive, a little chaotic, and hilariously off-track.

PLUS — enjoy a special cameo from their cat Frankie, who clearly had opinions and meowed them loudly throughout the episode. Apparently, she's Team Grumpy Sunshine. 🐱💬

Think of it as the Newlywed Game… but make it books. 📖💘

👇 Let us know how your partner would do in this game, and if your pets would also try to co-host.

😈 Our Toxic Trait? Morally Grey Men 📚🔥

This week, we’re exposing our deepest bookish weakness: morally grey men who probably need therapy but we’d still risk it all. From brooding assassins to dark princes and chaos-loving anti-heroes, we’re breaking down why the most questionable male characters are often the most irresistible.

If he’s emotionally unavailable, has a tragic backstory, makes morally questionable choices, and maybe even holds a dagger to someone’s throat at some point? Yeah… we’re obsessed. 🖤

💀 In this episode:
 🖤 The ultimate morally grey book boyfriends
 🗡️ Why we love a little danger with our romance
 📚 Book recs full of red flags (and we mean that in the best way)
 🫣 Hot takes, thirst rants, and zero judgment (okay, maybe a little)

💬 Who’s your #1 morally grey man? Drop him in the comments—bonus points if he’s a walking red flag.

📚 Read, Re-Write, Return 🔥

It’s time to get brutally honest—some books are perfect, some need a glow-up, and some? Straight back to the shelf they came from. 👀

📖 Read = Perfection. No notes. We loved it just as it is.
📝 Re-Write = So close to amazing… but we’d tweak a thing or two.
📦 Return = Yeah… no thanks. Take it back.

We each bring a stack of books and decide their fate—will they earn a permanent spot on our shelves or get gently (or not-so-gently) returned to the library of forgettable reads? You might be surprised by what ends up where! 👀💀

Play along with us in the comments: What’s a book you’d read, re-write, or return?
