    Episode 111: Scot and Bothered by Alexandra Kiley
    Mar 5 2025

    Happy March, everyone! Spring is still somehow 84 years away and we’re reading Scot and Bothered by Alexandra Kiley. We got an ARC for this follow up to the Kilt Trip (episode 85), so if you’re reading this, the book is out. Middle Sutherland son Jack fell in love with American student Brooke when they were at the University of Edinburgh, but a lot of things got in the way. Seven years later, the two of them are working on the same project. And that project involves hiking an 80-mile long trail over a period of two weeks. Can anyone say “only one tent?” Also Discussed: pickles, Kdot, and why we’re not cut out for hiking Scottish trails.

    Up Next: The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest

    SOS Novella: Gagged by the Gherkin by Biblio Barbie

    What else we’re reading:

    Scythe and Sparrow by Brynne Weaver (listening to it!)

  • Episode 110: This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan

    Episode 110: This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan
    Feb 20 2025

    We celebrate Black History Month with the amazingly gorgeous This Could Be Us by Kennedy Ryan. It’s a first Kennedy Ryan for both of us, and it will not be the last. Soledad discovers the man that she’s given two decades of her life to is a felonious scumbag, and she is inexplicably attracted to the man who uncovers his crimes. Forensic accountant Judah has been building a case against his coworker for over a year, and when he finally brings down the hammer, he realizes that Sol (whom he can’t stop thinking about) is caught in the crossfire. Also Discussed: the amazinginess that is Gary Oldman, what exactly is the best lubricant for a lint penis, and why women are so awesome.

    Episode 109: Illicit Illustrations by E.L. Koslo
    Feb 4 2025
    It’s week two of our return to human men! We read Illicit Illustration by friend of the show E.L. Koslo and we’re wondering when we can book a session with Reid. In this best friend’s (v!rg!n) little sister romance, we have the pleasure of watching a reformed rake fall to his knees for a talented woman. Get ready for art and tattoo discussions, as well as Koslo’s trademark spice. Also Discussed: Veronica’s upcoming signing, the Ruby Dixon multiverse, and the show format changes. NOTE: We already messed up our schedule, forgetting that this episode would publish in February. Our next book will be by a Black author (Kennedy Ryan), as will one of the March books.

  • Episode 108: Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase

    Episode 108: Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase
    Jan 22 2025

    We’ve returned to the land of human men to read Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. But don’t worry, the heroine sh00ts the hero in this book. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this romance classic, we decided to see if this book holds up all these years later. Spoiler alert: some of the language is predictably frustrating (the 90s was a different time), but overall, this book stands the test of time. We’re talking top tier enemies to lovers. Also Discussed: the new addition to Veronica’s household, doing a deep dive into the Ruby Dixon lexicon, and “who else died this week.”

  • Episode 106: Kidnapped by the Krampus by Emily Shore

    Episode 106: Kidnapped by the Krampus by Emily Shore
    Dec 24 2024
    Continuing to avoid human men, we’re talking about Kidnapped by the Krampus by Emily Shore this week. Journalist Twyla is sent to Krampus World to see if she can uncover whether or not the elusive millionaire is actually real. Even when Krampus kidnaps her, she’s not convinced he’s real. She just thinks he’s dedicated to that costume. Krampus, on the other hand, is in a bind (and not the kind he likes to put Twyla in). Twyla seems to be his last hope to break a curse slowly turning his heart to ice. Also Discussed: the new Superman trailer and all the Cleveland shots (exclamation point!), Veronica’s upcoming interview with MIT, and how we’re not exactly in the Christmas spirit.

  • Episode 105: Whisked Away by the Alien by Julie K Cohen

    Episode 105: Whisked Away by the Alien by Julie K Cohen
    Dec 11 2024
    We’re still not ready to read about human men, so we read Whisked Away by the Alien by Julie K. Cohen. Golda heads to her parents’ house to prep for Hanukkah, but in this futuristic dystopian world, she walks into the kitchen to find a giant blue alien. Her dad sent him to help cook–and who is she to turn down the help from the hot blue guy. Sten is a fish out of water, missing lots of key information, like that you wear an apron *over* your clothes…not *instead of* your clothes. Also Discussed: our monster sm*t kick, Supernatural, and fun things that arrived in the mail. Up Next: Kidnapped by the Krampus by Emily Shore SOS Novella: Cold Sweat by Vera Valentine What We’re Reading: Tales Beneath the Winter Sky (Anthology) by The Distracted Inklings (Lady Kilroy, Amber Thoma, Amber Paige, Veronica Wynne, Roxie Cohen, Rebekah Sinclair) Knotty List by Taylor Fox Illicit Illustration by E.L.

  • Episode 104: Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson

    Episode 104: Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson
    Nov 26 2024

    Uninterested in reading about human men at this juncture, we’re thrilled to read our ARC of Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson. Lachlan Greer was more than able to carry our weary hearts around for a few hundred pages. He’s a Loss Ness Monster, after all. The thing is, turning into Nessie is a literal curse his family has carried for generations and he’s determined to break it once and for all. Enter: Keyanna McKay, the first granddaughter in the McKay family for hundreds of years. She’s beautiful, intelligent, and very determined. And she almost might be the death of him. Literally. Also Discussed: the rage we carry in our hearts, Rae’s recent medical adventure, and the trend of church choirs unironically singing “Like a Prayer.”
