In it we talk about the themes, plots and characters in the book and what we did and didn't like. You can join our next buddy read on Storygraph here, which will be Pumpkin, Spice and Poltergeist by Ali K Mulford and K.Elle. Morrison.

    Episode 138: Injured/ sick trope recs -this has f*cked my TBR

    We haven't come up with a succinct way to summarise this trope, it's basically 'character is injured/ sick and other character takes care of them trope' - this is distinctly different from the 'who hurt you trope', it is very specifically about books where a character is cared for by another, usually the love interest. Disappointingly for us, but good news for you, this actually turned out to be a really good list! We definitely added a bunch of stuff to our TBR's Books discussed in today episode are: From Lukov with Love - Mariana ZapataIn Deeper Waters - F.T. LukensPestilence, The Four Horsemen #1 -Laura ThalassaAlways Only You, Bergman Brothers #2- Chloe LieseFragile Remedy - Maria Ingrande MoraThe Nature of Witches - Rachel GriffinA Ruin of Roses, Deliciously Dark Fairytales #1 - K.F. BreeneDivine Blood, Guardians of the Maiden #1 - Beck MichaelsEasy Tiger, Prickle Island Zoo #2 - Ali K.
