Through My Window (Netflix Movie) Part 1 | Ep. 279 May 24, 2023

Show notes

Oh golly! Your pal and mine Naima Simone has turned this into a Yoshi Appreciation Podcast. That's right, she's back to talk about our new problematic fave Through My Window on Netflix! This dubbed classic is a new adult stalking extravaganza that gave us all the delicious conflicting feelings! It's Venezuelan Twilight and we're not mad about it.

Content Warnings: stalking, emotional abuse by a romantic partner maybe?, parental emotional abuse for sure, the perpetuation of the predatory teenage girl (who is actually being victimized) trope, underage tighty whiteys (I'm not being cute, it legitimately bothered me).

Part 2 is next week!

Big THANK YOU to our new patrons Monica H, Amy H, Heather, Brittany C, Kimberly, hottennispro88, Jocelyn G, Carrie SH, and Erin F!

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall (Part 1) | Ep. 274 Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Hey HBs! Meredith is back to recap Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall! Structurally, it's one of the most interesting romance novels I've read. Plus, it comes with Alexis Hall's signature wit AND WE LOVED IT! Did it elicit some completely rational text messages from Mel to Meredith? No. This text required hard muppet texting; that's what good books do! They make you care. [Insert sheepish giggles here]

Bonus Content: soliciting chickens, GBBO background, bi-phobia, Meredith and Mel are co-presidents of the Jennifer Hallet fan club, HOO IZ HEEROH?!?, and so much more!

DANGEROUS TIDES will be launching soon, so make sure to follow the project page! That will ensure you're notified when we hit GOOOOO!

Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey with Sophie Jordan | Ep. 273 Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

Sophie Jordan is here to recap Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey! It's Pirate Times! It's England Times! It's America Times! It's all the head hopping! It's George's adventure and she's falling in love along the way.

It's also a HUGE inspiration for CM Nascosta's book in the Dangerous Tides series TO RAVISH A ROGUE. Nascosta takes Lindsey's delicious bonkers framework and adds monsters and more baths and so so so so so much more. I CANNOT.

Make sure to check out THE COUNTESS, book 1 of Sophie Jordan's new series The Scandalous Ladies of London.

Lady Loves:

Sophie - Skincare, Golden Girls, and her airfryer.

Mel - skincare also! And SPF on the face, neck, and chest. And maybe elbow-length driving gloves.

Ep 271 - Make a Scene by Mimi Grace Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

KIMBERLY LEMMING IS BAAAACK!!!!!!! Let us rejoice! And she brought a fabulous contemporary novel that involved a bakery, a boxing gym, an ex's wedding, a divorce party, a cake eating contest, a parrot in a shirt, and more nouns that feel like they maybe shouldn't go together but actually did. BEAUTIFULLY, in fact. Mimi Grace did it with Make a Scene. Oh, also dirty talk! Truly a marvel.

Bonus content: Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen, Sir Duncan: Knight of our Hearts, Clown Jail, cheek licking, nodules (or nobules??), and so much more!
