    The Reformatory

    Come on in here and sit down, chile. Whew.  This week we're talking about a book that's very heavy but when a story like this gets told- you take it in! The Reformatory by Tananarive Due, the queen herself, follows the story of a young boy caught in the web of his town's dark history and his survival of that town's infamous school for boys. This is historical fiction meets paranormal thriller and it's in a league of its own! This is based on a true story, so trigger warnings abound! We're discussing themes of white supremacy, racial violence, and similar topics, so please listen with care. This is probably the hardest episode we've recorded thus far. But the conversation is very important.  So grab your drink (you gonna it, honey) and let's get into it.  Shoot us a text, if you have any recs or comments!

    Our Vicious Oaths

    Grab your drink and settle in, because this time we’re diving into Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport and for the first time ever… we didn’t finish the book before filming the episode 👀 Between the cutthroat Fae politics, the grueling battles, and the kind of romantic tension that makes you want to scream into a pillow, we had thoughts. Join us as we break down Princess Kadeesha’s warrior energy and why King Malachi is officially our new favorite vengeful "morally gray" obsession. In this episode, we’re discussing: The Alliance: Was it logic or just pure chemistry? (Spoiler: It’s both, and it’s messy).Enemies to Lovers: Why passion hits different when you kinda hate each other.The Spice Meter: We’re rating the heat levels and how these two managed to stay focused on the mission while looking at each other like that.Political Intrigue: Navigating the Fae courts and the High King we collectively love to hate.Whether you’ve already finished the book or just want to hear us lose our minds over the enemies-to-lovers arc, tune in for all our thoughts, theories, and chaos before we head into our final episode before the mid-season finale  Content warning: sexual discussions Shoot us a text, if you have any recs or comments!

    Grab your favorite drink and pull up a chair, because this week we are heading down to Moss Pointe, Louisiana, and things are getting messy. We’re diving into the twisty, suspenseful world of I Don’t Wish You Well by Jumata Emill. We’re following Pryce Cummings—a gay, Black college journalist who returns to his hometown to start a true-crime podcast about the "Trojan Murders." Five years ago, the town thought they caught the killer, but Pryce isn't so sure. What We’re Getting Into: Small Town, Big Problems: We discuss the corruption and homophobia lurking in Moss Pointe and how Jumata Emill tackles identity and prejudice without missing a beat of the suspense.The "I Don't Wish You Well" Energy: Who is actually the villain here? We discuss the motives of the masked killer and vent about the people in this town who definitely deserve the title of the book. How is justice served?⚠️ Content Warning: This episode (and book) discusses mature themes including sexual assault and graphic violence.

    The Personal Librarian

    She wasn't just organizing the library; she was orchestrating a whole life. This week, the girls are heading back to the early 1900s to talk about the woman, the myth, and the master of the "pivot": Belle da Costa Greene, aka Belle Marion Greener. In The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray, we meet a Black woman passing as white to become the most powerful person in J.P. Morgan’s inner circle. We’re breaking down the sheer audacity it took to navigate the world of wealth, the heartbreak of leaving family behind, and the exhaustion of keeping a secret that could ruin everything. Belle was the original "it girl" with a double life, and we have thoughts on the receipts she kept. In this episode, we’re unpacking: The Cost of the Secret: We’re getting into the emotional toll of "passing" and what it means to choose your career over your identity.The Fashion & The Flair: Belle didn’t just walk into a room; she owned it. Let’s discuss the wardrobe and the confidence.Real Talk: If we were in Belle's shoes, would we have kept the secret? Was it worth it?Pour something strong—perhaps a vintage-inspired cocktail—and settle in. This isn’t just a history lesson; it’s a whole mood. Shoot us a text, if you have any recs or comments!
