Show Notes
Hi Smooches! We’re talking about sooo many books today with Anne, also known as andrearaereads on TikTok. She is such a wealth of knowledge about incredible books across multiple genres, and she’s writing a vampire romance that sounds scrumptious. We talk about what Lizzie Bennet was really doing on those long walks, which monsters we most love, and so much more.

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! 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
