    That's My Mute Daddy

    The Spice Cabinet is BACK - and Season 2 is taking us straight into the Maasiverse.  We’re starting with The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas, where we meet Celaena Sardothien: Adarlan’s most notorious assassin, luxury enthusiast, professional rule-breaker, and a girl whose confidence is almost as deadly as she is. Join Katie, Lindsay, and Alycia as we break down Celaena’s adventures (and questionable decisions), her complicated relationships, the moments that hit very differently when you know what’s coming, and all the little details that begin laying the groundwork for the Throne of Glass series. Plus, expect the usual Spice Cabinet chaos: strong opinions, questionable tangents, fictional-man thirsting, Katie getting names wrong, and absolutely zero restraint when it comes to spoilers. This season, we’re diving deep into Sarah J. Maas: Throne of Glass, ACOTAR, Crescent City, and all the theories, connections, characters, heartbreak, spice, and insanity along the way. Grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and prepare yourselves… The Spice Cabinet has officially entered The Maasiverse. ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: We’ve read the entire SJM catalog, and we’re discussing it that way. Spoilers for the greater Maasiverse may appear at any time. You’ve been warned.

    Season 1 Finale

    The Spice Cabinet closes out Season 1 with big hair, mixtapes, and a little paranormal teenage angst. This week, the ladies crack open Grove Hollow by Shelby Nicole McFadden, a YA romance set in 1985, complete with ghostly mysteries and just the right amount of VHS static. Expect nostalgic tangents, plenty of giggles, and maybe even a few big announcements as the besties wrap up their first season in style. Because nothing says “season finale” like crushes, cassette tapes, and a touch of the supernatural.

    She's a Rescue

    The countdown is on, this is the second-to-last episode of Season 1, and the Spice Cabinet ladies are more fired up than ever. This week’s read, Phantasma by Kaylie Smith, sparks big laughs, bold takes, and a few wildly off-topic detours (would it even be us without them?) With only one more week before the season finale, we’re serving extra spice, extra laughs, and our most unfiltered selves yet.

    Have You Smelled a Hockey Human?

    The ladies of The Spice Cabinet are back from their week off and braving the heat with Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J. Tuli. Picture The Bachelor with daggers, ACOTAR with a dash of reality TV drama, or The Hunger Games as a fantasy romance. As always, expect cackles, questionable opinions, and sizzling book talk. Grab your favorite drink and settle in. it’s good to be back in the cabinet.

    Dime Ice?

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, your favorite trio escapes the July heat by cranking the AC and diving into The Frost Queen's Blade, a spicy fantasy full of ice, intrigue, and...wait, what was that character’s name again? The title alone is a mouthful, and the plot doesn’t make it any easier for these three besties. Despite the confusion, the laughs are flowing, the opinions are spicy, and the vibe is peak book club chaos. It’s a shorter episode, but trust us… the chat is still piping hot.

    Elaine Galifianakis

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, your favorite trio is FINALLY diving into Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros; yes, the sequel two-thirds of us procrastinated reading, and now deeply regret waiting so long! Chaos, laughter, and spice ensue as the book besties reunite to break down the dragons, drama, and delicious tension of book three in the Empyrean Series. Katie’s memory for names continues to be hilariously nonexistent, Lindsay’s got theories that might just blow your mind, and Alycia is trying her best to keep the chaos contained… emphasis on trying. We may be a few days late, but trust us, this episode is absolutely worth the wait. Grab your iced coffee (or drink of choice), and join us for another fiery week in The Spice Cabinet.

    Natalie Narrates

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, things get even spicier and a whole lot funnier. Your favorite trio is joined by their fourth bestie for a long awaited bonus segment we’re calling “Natalie Narrates.” With zero context and maximum confidence, Natalie takes a wild stab at predicting the plots of three spicy romance novels, sight unseen. From laugh-out-loud one-liners to surprisingly on point guesses (and some that are way off), this episode is equal parts chaos and comedic gold. Whether you're a seasoned smut reader or just here for the vibes, you won’t want to miss this one. Pour a drink and prepare to cackle because Natalie is about to narrate like no one else can.

    Oh Christ, A Realm.

    This week on The Spice Cabinet, things get extra spicy as the girls dive into Hate by Tate James, a why choose romance packed with angst, alpha males, and some serious slow burn. But don’t let the title fool you, there’s more than just hate in this book, but not everyone on the pod is feeling the love. Tensions rise as the besties clash over toxic tropes, hot villains, and whether the main character is a girlboss or just a mess. Expect strong opinions, spicy scenes, and a whole lot of yelling (mostly from Alycia.) It’s an episode full of passion… in more ways than one! Grab your wine, clutch your pearls, and tune in for this fiery breakdown of a book that’s either a five-star obsession, or a rage read in the making.
