Swifties' Notes on Novels

Join us as we try to make sense of the literal sh*tstorm that was Onyx Storm. We loved Fourth Wing, and collectively hated Iron Flame, and we're back again for Rebecca Yarros' third instalment in the Empyrean series.

Expect betrayals (yes, the writing betrayed us again), more dragons and a lot of emotional and grammatical damage. In this bite-sized breakdown, we try to find the silver lining to how this book left us gasping, and maybe a little mad.

Whether you’re a Swiftie, a business nerd, or just here for the drama, we’re walking you through the eras like it’s a stadium tour for your ears in this episode. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll maybe scream into the void about how unfair the 2000s music contracts were.

But most of all, we’ll celebrate how Taylor Swift took every no and every public takedown and spun them into gold. Fearless, indeed. This episode is grounded in facts and in women owning their stories.

We're back with Season 2! We took all the love and feedback from S1, and brought it tenfold.

We discuss a few books and our book of the decade?! Romance, fantasy, a sprinkle of sci-fi, wrapped up with our year in Taylor.

What's new? All vibes, no rules.

You thought we were done obsessing over TTPD? We're back with a review of the second side of the double album - The Anthology.

This side is so much like folkmore, that we just had to gush about it. Get your tissues ready before you start listening to this one!

We would not be Swifties if we did not dissect the latest release from Mother Taylor. Join us as we discuss the first 16 songs from a completely unbiased perspective. Jasleen loves the album and Sakshi is still in the "it's growing on me phase" but we agree that this might be some of her best lyricism ever.

What are your favorites?

Presenting Episode 2 of our series Tortured Novels Department: Lover. This album has never ranked very high for us, but it has some amazing songs about love - whether it's romantic or platonic, or simply about loving yourself.

We hope you love these book recommendations as much as these songs!

We appreciate words in every way, shape, or form especially if they come in the form of big, meaty, fan-fiction. Whether it is another Dramione fic, or reading ACOMAF from Rhy's POV, fanfictions are the bane of our existence and the object of all our desires.

Listen in and tell us about your favorite fics!

Love triangles are the bane of our existence and the object of all our desires. ✨

How do they invoke such strong feelings in us? Why are they so popular and we eat them up? Listen to us being our most chaotic selves as we discuss Love Triangles.
