Transcribe →22 | Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros *full book spoilers!*
Nov 27, 202301:36:28Tap to summarizeWe finally got here! In this episode, we attempt to cover a MASSIVE book together with the help of two very special guests - Leslie and Syira - our fellow fantasy book nerds. We get into the worldbuilding, the characters, an appreciation of Shadow Daddy Xaden Riorsan, dragons, magic and more. Could we have done this over the course of 10 episodes, yes, yes we could have - and if Nabs has her way - we probably will. Warning, we cover the book in it's entirety and there will be spoilers for the ending - so please don't listen if you haven't already read it. Don't come at us if you haven't! Also, we are adults covering an adult book, so this podcast will be marked explicit. Hope you guys enjoy yourselves and follow to listen to more!

Transcribe →21 | Hot priests, taboo, paranormal, bit of everything
Nov 19, 202300:47:36Tap to summarizeWhoooeyy! It's been 2 months since our last episode, but so much has happened! On this episode, we cover the last book we attempted to do in October but never got around to - A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole, the 1st book of the Immortals After Dark paranormal romance series. And we also get into Priest by Sierra Simone - an erotic novel that's all about that really - a hot priest. We took a poll of recent purchases from the bookstore to see which one we should review first, and Priest won by a landslide - I suppose we have a lot of Fleabag fans on our friends list.
