Hey gorgeous Joy Lovers! This is the public preview of our last episode of 2022! We haven't gotten to record together for a little while, so it gets a little silly. Not only do you get a behind-the-scenes look at how we've been commissioning pirate art, but Katee tells us about Haunting Adeline by HD Carlton! It's a little Bonker's style holiday fun = a dark romance that might include some hand removal for romantic purposes... look we're both delighted and confused. Then you get a sneak peek at our newest brainchild "Bespoke Bonkers."
In the full episode on The Temple, we tell cougar stories, talk about Jenny's newest obsession, the show Yellowstone, plus House of Dragons, Sophie Lark's Kingmaker series, a serial killer duology that Mel loved, and so much more!
We'll be back in 2023 with tons of PIRATE RECAPSSSSS! Email us with great pirate books we should read!
