How Being In the Hot Seat Makes You Feel: Elle Diaz Interview with Guest Host R.M. Virtues
Make Out AlreadyShow Notes
Hi friends! Today we have a little bit of a switch-up! We have our very own Liz (Elle Diaz) in the hot seat to talk about her debut novel, “How That Makes You Feel.” It’s going to knock your socks off when it drops on February 14. Joining me as my temporary co-host is author R.M. Virtues. So listen in as we discuss “How That Makes You Feel,” how it made us feel, and how we think it’s going to make you feel, and play a game of Would You Rather.

Hi friends! We’re stopping by to drop off a little treat — some books that feel like summer to us. Whether they’re literal beach reads, scandalous soap opera style dramas, or sci fi horror romance with that claustrophobic, sweaty feeling, we’ve got some of everything.
Hi Smooches! Join us in a Hot Tub Time Machine, but where there's no time machine, it's just a hot tub full of bubbling b*tches and smut.

Hi Smooches! Happy New Year. Thanks for riding out a weird and wobbly 2024 with us. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or are just tuning in, Meg and I are grateful for you. Now, we don’t know about you, but we have a pretty good feeling that you’ve been feeling some rage lately. So let’s process that together. We’re recapping the horror rom-com Your Monster, with special guest Deanna. Spoilers ahead!
Hi Smooches! Liz here. On today’s episode, I’m telling Meg about one of my favorite books of the year, definitely in the top 3 and possibly my book of the year. It’s a dark rom-com between a black cat trauma nurse, and a golden retriever thirst trap creator who is more than a little obsessed with her. It’s a book that asks, what if the obsessed stalker hero is actually so babygirl? We’re talking about Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Spoilers ahead. And if you’d like a mood playlist for this book, we made you one!: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7DnobOug3shqCHuPUGDO3x?si=keegKl2CTiaPh-TdgWRS7w
