August 10, 2026 73. Tumbled
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Tumbled by Skye and Philomena MacKinnon.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week, we're feeling a bit despondent regarding AI news coming from the smutverse. Our book, however, gave some sweet romance vibes in an outrageous sentient object package. We discuss the best chances for success in getting out of the laundromat in a reasonable timeframe, and how a pissy mood can make you talk to inanimate objects. We're thrilled with the fact that a talking washer/dryer is looking for enthusiastic consent, and Elle really loved that the thought of using fabric softener was discussed as an absolute no-go.
Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐⭐⭐, while Elle gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!

August 03, 2026 72. My Hotdog Came to Life and Screwed Me
Welcome back WITS listeners!!
This week, join us as we discuss "My Hotdog Came to Life and Screwed Me" by Sky Corgan.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week has more AI smutverse news, from which Kay is still a little unclear how a company can pay out billions of dollars and not go bankrupt. Our book this week was all Elle's fault, though she's going to blame this one on Vera Valentine for having it on her website. The hotdog stand owner reminded us of one of the aliens from Men in Black, but he gets a redemption arc in some random reviewer's rewrite of the ending. Kay gives Elle a lesson on a Rhode Island food staple, and Elle might still be questioning if she made it all up (she didn't, they're a real food!). Condiments are important for a hotdog, however do not belong in smut.
Overall, though the conversations about the book made us laugh, both Elle and Kay rated this ⭐.

July 27, 2026 71. Legendairy Role Play
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Legendairy Role Play by Rosemary Bunny.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙.5
Kay knew within the first sentence of this book that Elle was not going to be on board with the story line. To be fair, we knew there was going to be whipped cream, but the hucow role play really threw us off. We discuss whether or not this takes on the task of trying to be a "how to" for the lifestyle (maybe without the can of whipped cream...), which is usually the opposite of these types of books. As for that whipped cream can... what a backstory- we hate him. He has a bit of a redemption arc, but the frat bro vibes are too real.
Overall, as expected, Elle gave this ⭐.5 while Kay gave it ⭐⭐⭐.5 (that extra half star probably is because she knew discussing this with Elle was going to bring her joy).

July 20, 2026 70. Light Me Up
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Light Me Up by Sabrina Cross.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙
We start off this week discussing yet another AI lawsuit. The lines continue to get fuzzier and Kay really just doesn't want to end up like the people from Wall-E. This week's book combines sentient objects, a little electro-play, and a miscommunication trope that makes us feel bad for the lamp. An appearance of Thor, and a brave mortal make for an unexpected gift from the gods. For such a short story (this one is only 28 pages!) there was a surprisingly flushed out plotline, and just the perfect amount of smut.
Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐⭐.5 stars, while Elle gave it ⭐⭐⭐.

July 13, 2026 69. Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer by Krista LaRae.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
We start off this week by realizing that we accidentally participate in the Haters Book club thats been trending on social media. In this weeks book, we're slightly confused why the MMC (monster main character?) is German, and why the MMC isn't her boss. Both Kay and Elle related to the FMC being made to feel like shes "too much," and were glad to see that the love interest is not at all bothered by her "muchness." We wish there was a little more smut, but if you've been listening for a while, you know that theres quite literally no pleasing us.
Overall, this was a miss for Kay, with ⭐ and Elle rated it slightly higher with ⭐⭐ .

July 06, 2026 68. Filthy Strokes
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Elle and Kay found their inner artists with Filthy Strokes by Laura Victoria.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
Elle stumbled upon some messy booksta-drama somewhere in the rabbit hole of Threads, and we discuss the difference between airing dirty laundry for your followers, and followers understanding when creatives deserve their privacy (spoiler: authors deserve to have private lives, despite how much you love their work.). In this week's book, Elle was briefly teased with a FMC who uses protection while the sentient object is still in paintbrush form and then seems to forget it exists once he's a human. Both Kay and Elle were a little confused with the darker elements that don't always seem to align with where the story went. We got a bit of a jump scare with a preemptive "I love you" followed by a curse-induced ghosting?
Overall, this was ⭐⭐ from both Elle and Kay. Creative premise, but we had too many questions.

June 29, 2026 67. Gage
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss Gage by Imogen Knowed.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
We start off firmly in the camp that its ok to look up words while you're reading, in fact, we encourage it. We do not encourage authors to write at a lower reading level for those who do not wish to do so. In this week's book, we're faced with the question- curse or gift? Whichever side you land on... are you trying it out within the first 10 minutes? Our FMC not only immediately tests the warning, and the item of choice is a ruler. As wild as this was, we loved it. The smut, though vanilla, definitely smuts, and the love story that we're given is exceptionally sweet.
Both Kay and Elle gave this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We loved it!

June 22, 2026 66. That One Time with the Lemon Drop
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Elle and Kay were lucky enough to get an ARC of That One Time with the Lemon Drop by Alex LaBruyere.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙 (non-con elements)
A lot has changed in Elle's life in the past few weeks, she's a married lady now, she chopped off all of her hair, and she moved. She's not too busy to get mad about another article shit-talking romance books though. We talk healing in relationships, and how we are always our own worst enemy when it comes to negative self talk. The non-con element, though not our favorite, kind of works because the lemon drop comes with all of the MMCs memories AND because non-con is A FICTIONAL TROPE. We discuss how people tend to act the worst for the people that they know love them unconditionally, but still question Davey's back-talk to the literal goddess of war.
Overall, both Kay and Elle gave this ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and cried seeing our names in the acknowledgements. We love ya Alex!

June 15, 2026 65. Bedding the Bedding
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss Bedding the Bedding by Annara Layne.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week in the smutverse we discuss how Chat GPT is getting more use than many nonfiction books. Our book this week, definitely not nonfiction, leaves the sentient object in its object form. Elle thinks it's a love letter to single women, Kay still wishes it would turn into a person. The main character this week is getting over a breakup, and gives an amazing closure conversation that both Elle and Kay wish they could channel in the real world (everybody... Kay is really getting there.) Kay has conflicting feelings about becoming a regular somewhere... while it's ultimately the dream, she's also a mood orderer. Also, both Elle and Kay would probably commit some crimes to get an apartment with a rent of $200 and the opportunity to work in an antique store.
Overall, Elle gave this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and Kay came in at ⭐⭐⭐.5.

June 08, 2026 64. Cirrus About You
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Kay and Elle discuss Cirrus About You by Latrexa Nova.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
This week we start off with, much to Kay's dismay, more not-so-good news from the smut verse. Specifically, how AI is continuing to be a thorn in the side for authors and readers alike, and is now being used as a method of getting authors cancelled. For our book this week, we loved the non-binary and demisexual representation, but were left a little blue in the romance (well really the smut) side of things. There was also a... frog cult? Kay's got some weird stuff on her FYP on socials, but she's never seen the likes of a frog cult before. We also discuss the prevalence of fan-art and fan-fiction, and how it's worked its way into the story.
Overall, Kay gave this ⭐, while Elle gave it ⭐⭐.
