We've completed our 'authors we have beef with' month and safe to say, the beef is still beefing, if not even more beefing! Find out why in this episode, as well as our thoughts on The Life of a Showgirl, Game of Thrones and the new Heated Rivalry Trailer.
This month we're exploring books written by authors we have beef with! We've had some negative experiences but we're not willing to blacklist them just yet! Ideally we want to squash the beef! So this week Cat has picked a book by Freida McFadden who she's recently started beef with after the ending of one of her other books (The Crash) sent her into a rage! Can The Teacher turn things around? Check out the episode to find out!
We're continuing our 'love at first knot' theme with a vampire-y paranormal romance from TJ Rose. We also cover our skips from each Taylor album and talk about Cat's power of premonition!
Welcome to September's book theme "Married at first knot"! That's our cheeky way of saying we're doing supernatural romances this month and the first pick by Cat is Exhale by Joel Abernathy, a queer werewolf romance! We discuss our thoughts (spoilers ahead!) and Cat also rants about a few mystery books she's read lately and Val talks about her new hyper fixation!
We deep dive into some iconic love triangles and also discuss what could potentially be our worst book of the year.
This week our tope of choice is Enemies to Lovers! A fan favourite in the book community and Cat has chosen EWB by NR Walker, an MM book about two guys who think they hate each other and all they have is sexual chemistry but who knows.... We also chat about what else we've been reading and for some reason our favourite vegetables?
FAKE DATING! You either love it or you hate it and we're low-key haters, so naturally we decided to do a whole episode on it.
This is our second episode where we are picking books that "Booktok made me read" and Cat has chosen Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins, the Hunger Games prequel book! It's been a booktok fan favourite and we've wanted to read it since it came out so perfect opportunity !
We've finally done it! After months of talking about this book, we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Can we still trust BookTok?
TAKE ALL MY MONEY! That's right, that's our theme this month AKA authors we will ALWAYS read their next book! These are the cream of the crop authors! And Cat has picked KJ Charles' latest release, she is one of our absolutely favourite historical romance authors so tune in to see if we loved this one as much as her previous books
TAKE ALL MY MONEY! The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid was the perfect fit for this month's theme. Also we spend a lot of time talking about milk and peanut butter.
Lesbihonest, this book is gay! That's right this is the second book of our sapphic month and we're reading Becky Albertalli's Imogen, Obviously! We also give a little run down of what we've been reading this last episode and excitedly announce next month's theme!
We hope you enjoy! (and apologize for some audio issues on Cat's end, she messed up her settings... wow so unprofessional tsk tsk)
LES-be honest, this book is gay! We kick off our Sapphic month with a little holiday gem (yes in May oops) from Haley Cass. Cat also discusses her latest MM read with a WILD plot.
I Think I've Read This Before? This is our second book we're reading for out retelling month! And this week we're reading A Dowry of Blood which is a Dracula retelling/inspired book! We also go through what Val has been reading and some classic booktok drama!
Have I read this before?! This month is all about retelling's and where better to start than a plus-size, reality tv show, Cinderella retelling, obviously!
Hey! I've been there!
This week it's Cat's turn to pick a book set in a city she's lived in, per this months theme! We also talk about our other latest reads as well as some TikTok book drama and our audiobook thoughts!
Another queer fantasy book? No way! Yes, our next monthly theme is all about places we've lived and this book is set in a mysterious market under the streets of London. We review and yap.
We are reading our second "read by numbers" book AKA a book with a number in the title! We hope you enjoy! (We apologize for the elderly pug noises in this episode lol)
Read by numbers! This month we've picked books with numbers in the title cause why not? We're kicking it off with BookTok fave YA 'Six of Crows', a fantasy heist with a loveable ensemble! We talk heavy spoilers so beware.
Fantasy but make it sexy! What does that mean? Well for the month of January we decided that we're gonna be reading romantasy books! (or maybe book is more accurate lol) Cat has picked Swordcrossed by Freya Marske, a romance between rascal con artist and buttoned up struggling business man with a side of betrayal and intrigue! Check out our review! (and banter about booktok drama)
