The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneggar (Part 2) | 393.2 Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

Hey HBs! It's time for part 2 of our recap of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE by Audrey Niffeneggar.

CW: In this series we talk about grooming, death of a parent, and a short discussion of a lethal car accident. In this episode, we get into the details of the plot's suicide, violence, gun violence, loss of limbs, cheating, fertility issues, pregnancy, and miscarriage. Mel (fairly uncharacteristically) got mega-triggered at the discussion of miscarriages. We cut out the most graphic part, so while you won't hear the specific trigger, you will hear her reaction (noisy sobs).

Want more of us? Check out our PATREON! On the bonus feed this Friday, Sabrina is recapping the first half of book 4 in the Duskwalker series A SOUL TO GUIDE by Opal Reyne! We’re finally meeting that illusive, surly, bear-skulled Duskwalker that all the humans think they killed. AND we learn all about the elf world in this universe!

AND MARK YOUR CALENDARS for this Friday, August 15th at 8pm ET. It's our monthly watch party!!! We'll be viewing THE PRINCESS BRIDE. Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show notes

Hey HBs! Boy is Mel bittersauce about this. We're here with part 1 of our recap of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE by Audrey Niffeneggar. We brought our pal Kristen along for the ride to balance out all the shade Mel would inevitably be throwing throughout the episode.

Ne'er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti (Part 4) | 392.4 Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

Get stoked for the final part of Ne'er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti!

Bonus Content: sexy quill ASMR, trolling as a love language, Mel STILL knows side-character's names, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Sabrina: revisiting communities you love and have lost touch with! S went to a roller derby game where she used to play and reconnecting was amazing!

Mel: TW current events. The resistance must be tangible for our joy to be part of the resistance. We want to stay a sanctuary for people, so we'll continue focusing on books and silliness. But, no matter your politics, some human rights violations should be universally opposed. Let's do our part!

Ne'er Duke Well by Alexandra Vasti (Part 1) | 392.1 Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

Hey HBs! We're recapping NE'ER DUKE WELL by Alexandra Vasti... and we're doing it over 2 weeks. So this is episode 1 of 4. Mel's kid's camp called with a mild emergency, so we had to cut this recording short. HOWEVER, I'm considering it a blessing in disguise because our shenanigans really needed two weeks if we were going to actually talk about the book as well, you know?

Plus spot-on impressions, creepy children stories, and so much more!

Monster Mates by Ivy Sparks Quickie (Part 2) | 391.2 Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

We're back with Sabrina's favorite book of the trio: CAPTURED BY THE CTHULU! There are so many tentacles, y'all.

Lady Loves:

Mel: Having a partner who grounds you. Because realizing everything that would go into painting our garage in less than 36 hours really did make me switch gears fast.

Sabrina: OMG a nice TV is really cool, but finding out you can screencast your e-reader to your TV and read from the comfort of your armchair is a game changer!!!
