Lusty Library: A Spicy Romance Book Podcast
Hosted by The Dirty Dames · EN
Welcome to The Lusty Library — the hilarious romance novel podcast where Joey, Birdie, and Lexx, aka The Dirty Dames, spiral into chaos one smutty chapter at a time. Each episode, the trio dives headfirst into a romance novel they’ve never read before — from steamy contemporary romance and dark romance to romantasy, chaotic beach reads, and the filthiest BookTok recommendations the internet has to offer. You know, the kind of smut you wouldn’t dare open in public.
Forget sweet Hallmark love stories. Expect morally gray book boyfriends, enemies-to-lovers obsession, shadow daddies, feral plot twists, and unholy amounts of tension. One minute they’re analyzing literary themes; the next, they’re screaming about dragon anatomy, toxic billionaires, the logistics of extra appendages, questionable life choices, and sex scenes spicy enough to fog up a windshield at highway speed. No romance trope or subgenre is off limits, and absolutely nobody stays on topic for long.
If you love spicy romance books, chaotic book banter, hilarious reactions, and hearing people completely lose their minds over fictional men, grab a drink and step into The Lusty Library.

Ep. 48 Birdie’s Pick- The Poisoner
2w ago01:29:21Tap to summarizeNobody expected a gothic Victorian romance to get everyone acting unhinged, but The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia has managed to do just that! Birdie was done the moment she saw the cover. Before anyone had been poisoned, bitten, or betrayed, she was already kicking her feet and twirling her hair.Meanwhile, Lexx is fighting for her life against a gloriously unhinged take on the knot trope all while her historical fact-checking genes activate around Chapter 3 and immediately begin demanding answers. And Joey? Well Joey has strapped on her adult bib and settled in at the all-you-can-eat buffet of banter, happily feasting on every sarcastic exchange and tension filled verbal sparring match.

Transcribe →Ep. 47 Joey’s Pick- The Risk
May 1901:30:38Tap to summarizeSomebody call the FBI because Joey is breaking every rule of the podcast and bringing out her all-time favorite dark romance novel for this episode. Join The Dames as they binge-read their way through The Risk by S.T. Abby. If you like books packed with serial killer chaos, revenge plots, and one wildly unhinged FMC you would absolutely help hide a body for, then Captain Joey would like to formally welcome you to her team.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 46 Lexx’s Pick- Bluebird Gold
Apr 2801:35:09Tap to summarizeWant to meet the coolest mom ever? This Mother’s Day, The Dames welcome Lexx’s Mum for a heartfelt conversation full of her sage wisdom you won’t want to miss. Travel back in time to 1983 small town Dalton Montana courtesy of Bluebird Gold by Devney Perry. Can The Dames discuss the plot like respectful intelligent humans or will they find themselves fully derailed by vivid mental images of thick-thighed Sheriffs breaking up bar fights in Wranglers so tight they should come with a warning label? Be serious. You already know the answer.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 45 Birdie’s Pick- Heated Rivalry Part 2
Apr 701:22:40Tap to summarizeBirdie claimed part two was “for closure,” which is hilarious because there is no closure in this episode, but rather the continuation of a rapid, irreversible descent into the cult of male/male hockey romance...In this special Part-2 Episode, The Dames reheat Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid for another glorious hour, all while making utterly lewd hydration choices. At this point, Birdie has dropped all pretense of normalcy and is fully feral. Someone should probably check on us- but honestly, don’t. We’re exactly as gone as we’ve always been, just louder about it now.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 44 Birdie’s Pick- Heated Rivalry
Mar 1701:21:54Tap to summarizeBirdie held the podcast hostage and threatened to quit unless we read this book immediately, so obviously we folded like a cheap lawn chair. Join The Dames as we body-check our way into Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. Is it an obsession? A commitment? A lifestyle? A cry for help? Birdie says it’s just “devouring positive content,” which apparently means consuming hockey romance at a pace that concerns medical professionals. Anyway, helmets on. We’re smashing into the boards and Birdie is absolutely in heaven.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 43 Joey’s Pick-War Games
Feb 2401:30:31Tap to summarizeWelcome to Episode 43 of the Lusty Library Podcast, where The Dames lace up their combat boots, apply their lip gloss, and descend into War Games by Sheridan Anne. Listener Warning: If the word "plop" has ever bothered you, you may want to skip the first five minutes...Stretch, hydrate, text your therapist a heads-up, and get ready to join us on the battlefield.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 42 Lexx’s Pick- I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com
Feb 301:20:34Tap to summarizeTwo Dames are living their absolute nerd-girl fantasy, and one is rolling her eyes so hard she risks blacking out before the episode ends. Strap in as The Dames crash-land into I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I’m Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming. Will the aliens' sucker tails earn them a certified hot-factor green light from The Dames, or will they get a "Hell No" like the minotaurs before them?The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 41 Joey’s Pick- Her Dark Promise
Jan 1301:41:26Tap to summarizeAre you into witches, men who absolutely should not be lurking in forests, and all the wildly inappropriate things one can do with shadow magic? Perfect. You’re our people. Join The Dames as we descend into the debut novel of Bria Rose, Her Dark Promise. If you happen to be extremely knowledgeable about the Gutenberg Press or the witchcraft hysteria, we strongly recommend imbibing in a "Witch’s Curse" before pressing play. Trust us, it was literally the only way we could get Lexx to turn off her brain for one blessed minute.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 40 Birdie’s Pick- Morning Glory Milking Farm
Dec 3001:30:58Tap to summarizeIf this podcast had HR, OSHA, or even a mildly concerned manager, this episode would’ve been shut down before the record button finished blinking. Join The Dames as we recklessly clock in at Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. Wildly over educated and mildly under qualified, we may have treated this book like hands-on job training. What starts as “surely this will be fine” devolves into chaos, and undeniable proof that we should not be allowed near microphones without adult supervision.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
Transcribe →Ep. 39 Lexx’s Pick- The Naughty List
Dec 1601:32:00Tap to summarizeForget cocoa, small towns, and wholesome holiday kisses—This holiday season, The Dames skipped the sugar and went straight for the spice with The Naughty List by Jade West. Think you've read a lot of smut? So did we, and we spent the entire book with our jaws on the floor. Was this the best holiday gift we could’ve asked for? Without question.The Lusty Library theme song - "Cantaloupe" by RAWebsite: thelustylibrarypodcast.comInstagram: @the_lusty_library_podcastFacebook: The Lusty Library PodcastBluesky:@lustylibrarypodEmail: thelustylibrarypodcast@gmail.com
