    The Adventures of Peri and Mawg: Perimenopause, Toe Demons & Total Chaos with Jen Xant

    PERIMENOPAUSE HAS A DEMON LIVING IN YOUR TOE. No, seriously. We sat down with the hilarious Jen Xant, author of The Adventures of Peri and Mawg, and somehow had a completely normal conversation about a sarcastic little demon named Peri who lives in a woman’s toe. Because apparently this is where literature has taken us. And honestly? We are here for it. The Adventures of Peri and Mawg is part paranormal fantasy, part romantic comedy, part midlife awakening, part perimenopause chaos—and somehow manages to be hilarious, spicy, heartfelt, and ridiculously relatable. In this episode of Spill the Book, we get into: 📚 How the hell you come up with a demon living in someone's toe👹 Peri's Joe Pesci energy🍿 Why Peri is apparently powered by snackies😂 The funniest reader reactions🌶️ The VERY important question of how much "research" went into those scenes👠 Mawg's journey from beige and invisible to confident and unapologetic🔥 What Jen hopes women over forty take away from the story⚖️ And, of course, Reader Court: The People vs. Peri Spoiler: The charges are extensive. If you're a reader who loves romantic comedy, paranormal romance, funny books, perimenopause stories, midlife fiction, spicy romance, quirky characters, and books that absolutely refuse to behave themselves... You need to meet Peri. 🎧 Watch/listen to the full interview now!

    Ever wondered what it's really like to be a professional voice actor? This week on Spill the Book, we're joined by the incredibly talented Garrett "Berserker" Couture for one of our funniest episodes yet! We dive into Garrett's journey into voice acting, what it takes to bring characters to life, the challenges of performing with nothing but your voice, and how he balances creativity with the intense discipline of competing in Ironman events. As if that wasn't enough, we also chat about his writing, storytelling, and why every great performance starts with understanding a character. Of course... we couldn't let a voice actor leave without putting him through a few ridiculous challenges. We play voice games, throw unexpected scenarios his way, and ask him to deliver lines in different tones—from heroic to villainous to downright swoon-worthy.

    The Sinkhole by Morgan P.J. Myles Deep Dive | Is This the Next Must-Read Romantasy? | Spill the Book Podcast

    We finally brought back our deep dives... and we couldn't have picked a better book. This week on Stace and Jace Spill the Book, we're diving into The Sinkhole by Morgan P.J. Myles—a breathtaking debut that blends immersive fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, ruthless magical academia, grief, found family, and one of the most original magic systems we've read in a long time. At first glance, it's a portal fantasy. But underneath the smoke wars, magical frequencies, and haunting world of Yasu is a story about grief, identity, resilience, and learning to trust yourself when everything around you is falling apart. In this episode we discuss: Why Evelina is one of our favourite fantasy heroines this year The emotional portrayal of grief and trauma The fascinating frequency-based magic system Sinkhole Academy and why magical schools never stop being entertaining  The slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance  Drayven Vale (yes... we have thoughts) Found family done right Our favourite theories and predictions for the series  Why this book surprised us—and why we think more readers need to pick it up If you're looking for a fantasy that balances emotional depth with incredible worldbuilding, unforgettable characters, and a mystery that keeps unfolding, The Sinkhole deserves a place on your TBR. And stay tuned... We'll also be interviewing Morgan P.J. Myles soon, so if you have questions you'd love us to ask, leave them in the comments!
