We Read It One Night

Hey pals! It's our third anniversary and we're throwing our birthday party in the swamp, specifically the sexy sapphic swamp from Darva Green's WE CAME FROM THE SWAMP. We're three years old now, and thankfully podcasts age like cats, because otherwise we'd be way too young to be reading smutty romance. We're celebrating all the support you've given us over three years as well as the love and joy we get from reading romance, and especially queer romance, in a world where a lot of people would rather we got neither. Here's to another great year!

Brazen banter: Stags striking out! Glass bottomed boats! What's the true definition of a murder cult? The complexities of being pulling by tiny dogs!

Hey pals! Today, we're wrapping up the second half of LOTHAIRE today and this book ramps up the camp to approximately 1000!! Ellie and Lothaire exchange body parts, Alison finally gets to read a blood blowjob, and Lothaire gets another dog. We thank Kresley Cole every day for writing this wildly fun, sexy, romantic, bonkers book. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Spooky Season continues as Rachel and Alison dive into the first half of listener suggestion and iconic vampire romance in the Immortals After Dark series, LOTHAIRE by Kresley Cole. Lothaire, aka The Enemy of Old (dramatic, tbh), is the most morally grey hero to ever wear the color, and his FMC Ellie spends the entire book violently humbling him (as she should). This book hits 1000% of the time and we're obsessed--hope you will be too!

Hey pals and happy spooky month! We're kicking it off with THE TIME I GOT DRUNK AND SAVED A DEMON by Kimberly Lemming. This opposites attract, forced proximity, demon-banging romance is a delightful romp through a swamp. So strap in those earphones and get ready for the power of love, cinnamon, and dragon boners!

Hey pals! Today, we're talking about the greatest critique of the class system since the Communist Manifesto, aka THE ELITE by Kiera Cass. We're back with the America/Maxon/Aspen love triangle, which takes a turn from Hunger Games vibes to Twilight vibes. And more than ever, we're convinced that this series was actually just one long book, so we can't wait to read number 3. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're wrapping up our yap about A KINGDOM OF DREAMS by Judith McNaught with Hannah and Caroline at Romance Your TBR Podcast. We're still swooning over Royce and Jenny in between of waxing poetic about why we think historical romance is the supreme romance subgenre. Do you agree with us? Let us know in a rating and review, and enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're joined by Hannah and Caroline from the Romance Your TBR podcast to talk about listener suggestion  A KINGDOM OF DREAMS by Judith McNaught. If you read one old, old school historical romance, it's gotta be this one, because it's honestly one of the most iconic books of all time. Jenny and Royce are the ultimate Tudor Era enemies turned full on couple goals, and we were giggling and kicking our feet while reading and talking about this book. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're starting THE SELECTION series by Kiera Cass. This surprisingly Marxist, Bachelor-inspired, dystopian YA love triangle sucked us in and kept our attention. Join us as we follow kinda-like-other-girls America Singer as she struggles to choose between golden retriever Prince Maxon and dark-haired boy Aspen while living in a fancy palace with the world's worst security system. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Today, we're chatting with *the* Ilyana Kadushin, aka the narrator of the Twilight Saga!! If you're a long time listener, you'll know that we've been Ilyana fans and have wanted to have her on the pod since the beginning, so this was basically just an hour of fangirling from us. We hope you enjoy the behind the scenes scoop into narrating the series and the inside look into how audiobook narration works. Happy listening!
