Dee and Haley sat down with her to chat after reviewing Ladies in Hating for the pod and had the BEST time talking about historical romance, hidden easter eggs, found family, and how spice just makes everything better.

    Stardust and Stories

    Send us Fan Mail This month on Cliterature, we crack open The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, a novel steeped in myth, mystery, and the irresistible pull of stories that refuse to stay on the page. We talk bees, swords, fate, and found love and discuss whether this novel is a love letter to storytelling itself or a deliberate exercise in being beautifully lost. Do you believe in Fate? Light a candle and follow us all the way down to the shores of The Starless Sea.

Haley and Dee dive into holiday traditions, found family, and a gorgeous second chance romance in a book that checked all the boxes for a cozy Christmas read to give us all the warm and fuzzies. Cheers to Mistletoe Margaritas, glitter explosions, leg lamps, and love a long time coming. The cheery queery in all of us needed this one!  PS. We use the word C-U-N-Tuesday in this episode. Multiple times. If that one is a little too hard for you, we get it! Skip ahead at the warning and keep listening. (Though the conversation is hilarious, if I do say so myself.)  We're so happy you're here. Happy Holidays!
