    Chapter 125: Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I've Cried About by Isabel Klee

    This week we're gushing about a memoir that deeply moved us by a writer and influencer we've long admired. We discuss our parasocial relationship with @simonsits, our reverence for the level of honesty in this book, relating to falling in love with New York City, the paragraph about pet parenthood that wrecked us, and how elated we are that this book is getting a TV series adaptation. In our catch up this week, Steph is helping her dad with an unfortunate home repair and Molly is living it up in New Hampshire, including her annual trip to a local indie bookstore she adores. In what we're reading this week, Steph finishes Robinne Lee's Crash into Me and Molly is devouring Tia Williams' The Missed Connection.

    Chapter 124: In Conversation with Jenny L. Howe

    This week we are joined by author, educator, bookseller, dog mom and champion of plus-size protagonists Jenny L. Howe. Jenny shares how her passion for stories began at two years old with a wild imagination, that the horror genre was her first love, what it's really like being in the query trenches, and how she eventually landed on a path to traditional publishing via an idea spawned by her grad school experience. We also deep dive on the importance of plus-size representation in romance and YA, how book cover art comes to be, which of her characters was inspired by Channing Tatum in She's the Man, why she loves setting books in Massachusetts, and how she dreamed up the idea for her upcoming release: How Not to Renovate a Haunted House.

    Chapter 122: Wasp's Nest by Kat Stoddard

    This week we're diving into a delicious family drama. Molly shares her Mount Rushmore of books in this genre, and we talk about the messiness of relationships, the haves vs. the have nots, a deep sense of place, the power of descriptive writing, the joy of short chapters, how easily we could see this as a stage play, and our hopes that it becomes a perfect, 90-minute film. In our catch up this week, Steph shouts out her supportive coworkers and gives us an update on querying, and Molly has a real life @hotdudesreading moment on Nantasket Beach. In what we're reading this week, Steph takes very good care of her friend's copy of Cowboy Casual and Molly falls in love with a hyper local beach read, Feels Like Summer.

    Chapter 121: Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden

    This week we're discussing a memoir that reads like fiction. We deep dive on Belle Burden's story of the dissolution of her marriage. We ask questions like - how would this have been different if they weren't affluent? How do her children feel about all of this being made public? Is her husband the world's biggest super villain? We also share our thoughts on Gwyneth Paltrow being cast in the upcoming screen adaptation. In our catch up this week, Steph shares a grievance about people returning books and tells us about her latest writing project, Kaitlin recaps her trip to Las Vegas, and Molly shares two epic restaurant meals she enjoyed. In what we're reading this week, Steph is immersed in Fury Bound by Sable Sorensen, Molly has fallen down the Off Campus rabbit hole with The Mistake by Elle Kennedy, and Kaitlin is mystified by the plot of 200 Monas by Jan Saenz.

    Chapter 120: In Conversation with Emma Brodie

    We are absolutely tickled to have author and fandom queen Emma Brodie on the show this week! She shares how her love of story began at a young age, including acting out her favorites alongside her younger siblings. Steph notes the themes that resonated for her in both of Emma's books, they discuss their shared fandoms, and a crop top that nearly bankrupted Emma. Emma also touches on being surrounded and supported by wonderful women at both Thousand Voices imprint and Reese's Book Club, how the gorgeous Into the Blue cover came to be, and using ACOTAR as a coping mechanism.

We talk about the instant appeal of the fake dating trope, Hannah's similarities with Laney Boggs from She's All That, the utopian world of respectful hockey players that Kennedy has created, and the sporty to steamy chart we want to create to categorize all hockey romance books.
