We’re fantasy readers! You can get us to believe anything! Almost…

Today we’re unpacking all those things in fantasy and romance books that have us thinking… 🤔what the heck?! Is that even possible? I feel like that doesn’t make any sense…🤔Which for a group that is able to suspend reality to believe in magic, and dragons, and fae, and portals, says a lot.

We’re talking about things like sexy time in fighting leathers, dragon 💩disposal, shirts on people with wings, not peeing after spicy time without getting a UTI… and being able to hear and communicate in battle? What about periods? Eating protein? NOT BEING ABLE TO FIT TWO HANDS AROUND IT?!

We hope you enjoy the episode and it helps you feel seen. Do you have fantasy or romance probs you need to discuss? Shoot us a comment or DM and we’ll include it next time! Until then, enjoy our fave & fail book club reads edition, and a smash or pass with a burlap sack and a man who might just smell like Sex Panther.
