Hey / hi / hello! For this episode, we did something of an experiment. Being romance readers, we have often wondered about the romance books that started it all... harlequin novels! That's right, those books your grandma always used to read? We wanted to know what they were all about. So we each chose a $3 harlequin novel from the thrift store to read and report back. And what a discussion it was! Come join us for fun, dramatic, and--dare I say--steamy stories! Leave us a review if you enjoye...

Why hello there, welcome back! This episode, we bring you a new challenge: The TBR Jar. We pull a prompt from the jar, find a book that matches the prompt (ideally from books we already own - looking at you, Hannah), read it, and report back! The prompt for this one was "a book with a morally grey character" and we both happened to go for dark romance! Come join us! Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!

Welcome back to yet another genre swap! This time we both went for romance, but we definitely went in very different directions. Jess read It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey, which was a challenge to her cartoon-cover-hating spirit. Meanwhile, Hannah had to dive into new heights of spicy science fiction with Holly Wilde's Earthed, featuring satire she has some very complicated feelings about. Grab a snack and come join us for the fight of a lifetime! Leave us a review if you enjoyed hangi...

Why hello there, it's been a while. Welcome back to our Requested Reads!! This month we bring you our discussion of The End of Men by Christina Sweeney-Baird, going over themes such as grief, global crisis, friendship, love, hope, feminism, medical advancement, and more. We had such a wonderful experience reading this one, and we definitely did a little more of a deep dive than usual so you're not going to want to miss it! Grab a snack and settle in, because this one is a doozy. The End of Me...
