    Episode #82: Wear the Hat Ride the Cowboy

    Welcome to the town of Chestnut Springs where there's a ranch called Wishing Well where hot cowboys spawn to sweep women off their feet. We're starting off this series at the beginning for the pod (even though Tori read them out of order). Flawless isn't so flawless but we ate that shit up anyways. Summer and Rhett had us ready to move to a small mountainside town and flirt with our clients at our completely fictional entertainment firm jobs.

    Episode #80: The Hiatus Is Over, Thanks to Isla Crown

    Has it really been over a month since we uploaded an episode? yes. And do we want to talk about it? also yes, we give an abbreviated version of why we've been absent for so long! Extremely short version: we've had our heads down physically working or working on ourselves. But after such a long break, we bring you Lightlark! The book that got us both out of our reading slumps. This YA romantasy was just what we needed to get our asses back into gear. I think this is our first book with a love triangle and its easy to see we need to add more, asap, like my heart loves going back and forth on who I want to root for. The twists made this book and gave such a refreshing taste to classic tropes! Maddie is working her way through Tower of Dawn right now and we already have other eps lined up so the hiatuses are over for good y'all so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. It's good to be back.

    Episode #79: I'm about to pop a knot

    Ali Hazelwood, the woman that you are!!!!! And the woman that you are is an author who's every book I will eat up expeditiously because her small woman, large man who's crazy for her first books are a comfort that I always need. This introduction to the omegaverse was eye opening for Maddie and I and while we might not fully understand everything quite yet, I low key understand how Misery fell asleep with that man in her. We loved Misery & Lo's story and we can't wait for her next book in this universe! Y'all know Maddie loves a near death experience and we knew Tori would love the whole sucking on his neck and drinking Lo's blood till there's a crazy orgasm, what can we say, we're just girls who know what we like.

    Epsiode # 78: F*ck Marry Kill - Impossible Edition

    What's the hardest F**k Marry Kill you've ever had to choose? For Tori it was choosing between Hunt, Rowan, and Rhys and for Maddie it was choosing between Fury, Bryce, and Juniper - I bet y'all can guess who we chose since y'all know us too well atp! This game was way too fun and got us a little hot and heavy. Honestly both of us a suckers for Lorcan by now too so he wins everything. We highly recommend playing this game/episode with your friends so y'all can debate and scream with us!

Where I share everything that I've been loving lately, from go-to recipes and sweet treats to Youtube channels and things I've been drawing, I spill all my favorites including what I'd like to read next and what I recently saved on my tbr. Though its always weird when I'm listening to myself trying to catch my breath in the microphone and not bickering with Tori, it's not because she doesn't want to be here.

    Episode #76: Can't Life Be Simple Like the Board Game?

    We've been devouring big books for the past month and after mentally sprinting for so long we needed a "palette cleanser" for this week. Tori and I talk about all of the recent updates in our lives, from work to valentines day celebrations, to reading low stakes books, to sharing what we worry about as two women in their 20's. If you need a bit of a brain break from your week, here it is. Unwind and dissociate to our voices because the universe knows we all need a moment to ourselves every once in a while!
