Episode 4: In the Mood For... Icks

We gave a man a microphone and the world didn't become a worse place because of it. Seasoned romance reader (he's read 2) Mr Shanireads joins us to chat about reading in general and makes a case for Bonnie to read Brandon Sanderson.

SteamyLit special edition of Ali Hazelwood's Bride kicked up a lot of opinions and obviously we had to discuss! Don't worry we're also incapable of not talking about Magnolia Parks.

SenLinYu's Manacled got a trad pickup and we speculate wildly on how the iconic Dramione gets transformed into a trad pub book. We've also been gluing ourselves to the TV watching  true crime, True Detective season 4 and ... Heart? of? Dixie?

Surprise, double episodes this week! We just had to get together for a roundup on authors doing things on the internet. Chuck Tingle remains our unproblematic king, though. 

NOTE: During the episode we refer to author Xiran Jay Zhao by the incorrect pronouns and would like to apologize: they use they/them and it was an oversight on our part to not check before recording.
