Fellow Sisters of the Ton, find the illustrious members of EATS returned to their desks, ready to discuss and review the first course of the third season of Bridgerton, the budding romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, and the many, many, many other scandals sparking this season.

What, we wonder, can be expected of their response? Will we be surprised with a glowing endorsement of the season, a diamond selected from the offerings, or will we find another scathing indictment of corporate industries once again?

There exists only one way to tell dear listeners.... By listening.

This author, for one, cannot wait.

Does a romance novel need to end in a Happily Ever After ™ ? We discuss this hotly debated topic in the romance community, and how we have seen this genre convention played out in our own reading life. We are asking the hard hitting questions:


What does a happily ever after even mean?
Is Happy for Now good enough?
Can and should romance stay the same as publishing and the world evolves?
Does genre really exist or was it a product of marketing?

Books mentioned in this episode:


A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole
The Wolf and the Wildflower by Stacy Reid
Homestead by Claire Kent
Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin
Audited by the Anubis by Wendi Gough

In a rare remix, this week we once again dive into special edition based book cover drama. As long as there's no end to publishing cash grabs, we'll still have content! Join us in defence of cover artists as we discuss all the ways companies failed designers, authors, their employees, third-party licensing agreements and more. It's an anti-capitalist break down of the state of books as fast fashion, and we've got loads to say about it. Mainly, don't buy covers you don't like!
