    64. Cirrus About You

    Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, Kay and Elle discuss Cirrus About You by Latrexa Nova. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙 This week we start off with, much to Kay's dismay, more not-so-good news from the smut verse. Specifically, how AI is continuing to be a thorn in the side for authors and readers alike, and is now being used as a method of getting authors cancelled. For our book this week, we loved the non-binary and demisexual representation, but were left a little blue in the romance (well really the smut) side of things. There was also a... frog cult? Kay's got some weird stuff on her FYP on socials, but she's never seen the likes of a frog cult before. We also discuss the prevalence of fan-art and fan-fiction, and how it's worked its way into the story. Overall, Kay gave this ⭐, while Elle gave it ⭐⭐.

    63. My Date with Bubble Tea

    Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss My Date with Bubble Tea by Sylvia Morrow WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙 Elle finally has some good news from the Smutverse, and Kay is thrilled (she's been asking for some good news for weeks now)! The book this week had us asking what size Boba Tea cup would be appropriate- surely the size of a full grown man would be too big, but a regular cup is too small for that... necessary usage? Elle is horrified that the concept of bacteria was included, knowing full well where that tea is going to end up. Theres an interesting level of an insta-love dynamic, and Kay thinks she's more on board with it because he falls first. Overall, Elle gave this ⭐.5, while Kay rated this ⭐⭐. An interesting take on a pretty obscure sentient object, we'll give her credit!! My Date with Bubble Tea by Silvia Morrow Next Week: Cirrus About You by Latrexa Nova WE HAVE MERCH!!!

    62. Fully Charged

    Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, Kay and Elle discuss Fully Charged by Nicole Parker and Unfortunate Reads WITS Smut Scale: Kay is desperate for some good news in the smut verse, and today comes with a bad review that seems to give us some good reading potential. As promised, the link to Strange Familiars can be found here. Kay has already downloaded it, and added it to her TBR. We discuss if Elle is still in the stone age using battery operated toys, and Kay is finding herself in this story without her consent. Kay makes a list of all of the words that the authors can use to represent the main characters "cave of wonders," which honestly gives Holly Wilde a run for her money. Kay brings us on a tangent and a biology lesson, and Elle has a soapbox moment about the scientific study of women's bodies. While we appreciate the MMC being fully there to make sure that the FMC is satisfied, we were both left wanting when it came to the insta-love part of the story line. It really goes off the rails with the epilogue, and if anyone gave Kay's kids a drum set they would be less than politely asked to leave. Overall, this was Kay's 2nd read, and she gave this ⭐⭐.5, though she's definitely less surprised a year and 1/2 and over 60 sentient object romances later, while Elle gave this ⭐⭐ for her first read.

    61. Knotted by the Beast

    Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Knotted by the Beast by Siena Stone WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙 Elle thinks that the bookish community needs to take a deep breath and maybe take a break to go outside for a timeout based on the smutverse news. We discuss how the Beast's first mistake in this book was letting Belle's father leave, when he really has no way of enforcing his punishment for stealing the flower since he's trapped in the castle because of the curse. Both ladies agree that there was some omegaverse standards that were overlooked or missed entirely. As usual, we can never be satisfied. Either theres too much plot and not enough smut, or too much of the same smut and not enough plot. Kay is happy that the beast stays in his beast form at the end of this, while Elle firmly believes that he should be able to be the one to make that decision. Overall, both Elle and Kay gave this ⭐, with the Kay's biggest complaints having to do with some major plot holes, and Elle really not liking the Beast's lack of growth at the end. WE HAVE MERCH!!!

    60. Romancing the Rat

    Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Romancing the Rat by G.M. Fairy. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙 We're back after a much needed week long break! Smutverse news has us upset that people can't just scroll on (whether on the internet or in real life) and leave authors alone with their bad opinions. In this week's book, we get into a bit of a back and forth about our smut scale, but decide that the fact that theres a whole extra unknown person (animal? creature?) that one of the participants doesn't know about at first, its a level 4. Kay has a hot take this week where she actually likes a blonde MMC, but the bodybuilder part is an interesting choice. Justice for rats, both for their intelligence and their ability to create their own rat neighborhoods in NYC. Lastly, we're a little disappointed about the lack of use of the tail at the end of the book. Overall, both Elle and Kay gave this one ⭐⭐⭐ for the creative twist on what we anticipated the story being, and some good writing. Oh yeah... WE HAVE MERCH!!!

    59. Pounded In The Butt By My Handsome Sentient Library Card Who Seems Otherworldly But In Reality Is Just A Natural Part Of The Priceless Resources Our Library System Provides

    Welcome back WITS listeners! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Pounded In The Butt By My Handsome Sentient Library Card Who Seems Otherworldly But In Reality Is Just A Natural Part Of The Priceless Resources Our Library System Provides by Chuck Tingle. (Yes, thats the full title) WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙 We start off this week with a reminder that we must hold on to both our rage and our whimsy in the wake of the current hellscape that is the news pretty much whenever we open our feeds. We discuss how this book starts with some serious plot for an 11 page book about sex with a library card, with our main character embarrassed about his humble living arrangement in the city. Elle was briefly reminded of a "choose your own adventure" type of books as the main character Mark begins his quest. We get some more Elle lore and find out which document is most important for her when she moves to a new city. Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐, wanting a little more aftercare before the abrupt end to the story, while Elle gave this ⭐⭐.5. WE HAVE MERCH!!!

    58. Earthed

    Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as we celebrate Earth Day this week with Earthed by Holly Wilde. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙 This week, the ladies swoon over everything Artemis II, which is the perfect lead in to an out of this world book. Kay learned a little about dark matter (maybe), and Holly Wilde has us questioning if the Earth is, in fact, phallic in shape. Take that flat-Earthers. Everyone in the Wilde worlds truly takes the outrageous as seriously as possible, and we tip our hats to Holly for that. Thinking about the logistics of Celeste's heroic action of saving the people of Earth makes us have to stop before we spiral. Also... weigh in listeners.... what exactly is Saturn's ring? Overall, Kay rated this one ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 and Elle went with ⭐⭐⭐. Will you ever look at the moon the same way again? Also, WE HAVE MERCH!!!

    57. My Date with Caps Lock ft. Thea Masen

    Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay this week as they discuss My Date with Caps Lock by one of the Queen's of Sentient Object Romance, Thea Masen. Stick around to the end of the episode for an interview with the author herself! WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 In a dark world these days, this book was an incredibly fun, light read! It also read like an ode to writers everywhere, with each chapter leading off with one of the rules of writing... Thea Masen said "Oh really? Watch me." Despite the fact that there are 26 love interests, they all have distinct personalities. Overall, both Kay and Elle think that this book could be a master class in creative writing, and for the first time in a very long time, it was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from both.
