Show notes

Hey HBs! We're doing our first re-release since Sabrina became Mel's full-time partner-in-crime! This is part 1 of THE WARLORD WANTS FOREVER by Kresley Cole!

Since we announced that our next Patreon Deep Dive is going to be the first 10ish books in the Immortals After Dark series, starting at book 3, we've had a bunch of Listener saying "but what about books 1 and 2?!" The answer to that is Sabrina and I started this journey over a year ago on the main feed! So, this week we're re-releasing our recap of book one! We've got two immortals, one femme fatale, one warlord hot dummy, 1 five year boner, fated hostage-takings, savage goodbyes, memorable reunions, VERY questionable/dubious/non-existent consent (also enthusiastic consent), and so much more! Could this be viewed as problematic? Sure. Did we super love it? Very yes.

Bonus content: series hopping and existential crises, Forebears/Four Bears, brains while reading, noodle fuckery, and more.

How the Marquess Was Won by Julie Anne Long (Part 2) | Ep. 350.2 Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Hey HBs!! The pals are back with HOW THE MARQUESS WAS WON by Julie Anne Long! When we left off, Jules had asked Phoebe to become his mistress and she turned him down HARD. Now these two crazy kids are, unbeknownst to either of them, both heading to London for more balls and other EnglandTimes ish. While Phoebe basks in the glow of being the crowd favorite, he discovers a dastardly wager is behind it. Also, he still needs to marry her friend and why can't she just understand that?!

Bonus Content: lost cats, pronouncing "Pekingese" (and discovering how to spell it), more trend setting, doing a big She's All That on her, the Antarctic, pelisses: the trench coats of EnglandTimes, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Sabrina: baby powder instead of dry shampoo! There's, shockingly, no noticeable difference.

Mel: having a friend like Sabrina who will read out of order even though it HURTS HER to make the recording. It's such a huge act of love!

How the Marquess Was Won by Julie Anne Long (Part 1) | Ep. 350.1 Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

Hey HBs!! Mel and Sabrina are recapping HOW THE MARQUESS WAS WON by Julie Anne Long! We've got a lowly school teacher who is drafted to be the paid companion of a former pupil and a Marquess who has a plan, gosh darnit! And it does NOT include becoming enamored of his hopeful fiancée's pal! But there's a country party, an opera singer, a forest ramble, and a final dance party that will prove too much for him to resist temptation!

Bonus Content: more texting faux pas, HUGE growth from Sabrina that will never be repeated, another stoic hero who's catnip, naming characters with word association and phonetic slides, cunning linguists, universal American experiences, beaver/raccoon hats, and so much more!

Watch this episode on YOUTUBE and come back tomorrow for part 2!!

Triple Sec by TJ Alexander (Part 2) | Ep. 349.2 Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

Hey HBs!! We're back with part two of TRIPLE SEC by TJ Alexander! We jump right back in with a snowed-in vacation with only one fireplace! And that fireplace is utilized BEAUTIFULLY!

Bonus Content: rich people shit, useless Tops, gendered vs. neutral terms, a not-so-survival trope, and so much more!

Lady Loves:

Mel: checking out movies from the library and, more specifically, WAITRESS the musical! This is one of Mel's favorite shows of all time; Sara Bareilles wrote the score and her harmonies have always slayed her! Family movie time turned into Mel quietly crying into Ember's hair because everything was so beautiful.

Sabrina: interactions with HBs! HB Devon came through with some really great genetic statistics in answer to our call during our ep on A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER and HB Emily gave Sabrina a masterclass on the British upper crust during a chat about the Maiden Lane series. HBS ARE THE BEST.
