63. An Unhinged Book Chat Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

You guys asked for it and we delivered... We talk about a lot in this episode, while somehow not talking about anything at all. But we laugh a lot and we promise you will have a good time listening. There are some more F1 chats (including our first experience with an F1 romance book), Micaela keeps us on track while reading Kyleigh's notes word-for-word, Hannah announces her new book that she's writing, and we discuss a new popular romance novel about (bet you can't guess it)... Marshmellows.

If you prefer to know which books have spice before you decide to read them, check out cleanedupromance.com. Madi provides thoughtful and informative reviews that tell you everything you need to know about the spice level with specific pages to avoid if you prefer closed-door romances.
