The Wake-up Call: "romance bingo is the way forward"

Another potential disappointment? Not faring well in the Book Club picks so far.

Beth O'Leary's A Wake-Up Call should have ticked all of our romance loving boxes, so we needed to introduce a different way to rate. Please welcome:

  • The Romance Bingo Board

Iron Flame: "a filler book?"

One of the most anticipated books of the year... and it may have been a bit disappointing.

Rebecca Yarros' Iron Flame was the talk of the internet, so obviously we are sticking our two pence in. What you can expect:

  • How to Train Your Dragon
  • A new rating system
  • Us hating on Violet
  • "My woman, my chair"

Grab a drink, alcoholic or not, and listen to the wannabe dragon riders.

Book Lovers: "a chat around the fireplace"
Happy month of looovvveeee. And what book is better to read than one all about a little bit of smoochy smooching, family relationships and saving a small business.

We are so excited to talk about potential dates... and introductions to a potential episode coming (Hinge fans stay tuned). This is Beth and Syd living, laughing and reading some literary fiction. Oh and drinking... wine, sex on the beach, or a nice glass of voddy cran. Pour a drink (alcoholic or not) and press play, we won't bite.

Hi there, we are so happy to have you. 

Welcome to our new podcast about us living, laughing and reading some literary fiction. Oh and drinking... wine, sex on the beach, or a nice glass of voddy cran. Pour a drink (alcoholic or not) and press play, we won't bite. 

This is a little introduction to us (hi! we are Beth and Syd). You can look forward to finding out what kitchen appliance Beth would be and why it is important to Syd that you know how to peel a mango.
