Smut With Friends

Big B joins the group again for a hearty conversation on the merits and demerits of The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (conversation recorded prior to the release of Iron Flame)

Sweet T, Jules, Mila, and AJ celebrate Christmas with Chuck Tingle and Ginger Kaine. Both regrets and defenses abound in this episode on camp, candy canes, and confectionary cream.

Mila, Sweet T, and AJ chat about Monster's Temptation (formerly Monster's Plaything) and somehow make it out with their souls still in their bodies.

Sweet T and AJ sit down to discuss the book Engineered (no shade to the others who totally wimped out on this book)

AJ, Mila, and Sweet T watched Moneyshot together and had feelings about it. Here's the conversation and our thoughts on even the toughest elements of the documentary.

Mila, AJ, Jules, and Sweet T sit down for a conversation (and a tea party, obv) about the latest release in the Bridgerton universe: Queen Charlotte.

AJ, Mila, Jules, and Sweet T are back talking about the first book of Sarah J. Maas's Court series, A Court of Thorns and Roses. Mixed opinions about the smut factor on this behemoth of a book, but as always, we loved the conversation and hope you do too.

Mila, Jules, AJ, and T gather at the beach again to break down the 2020 Hulu documentary Naughty Books. No pre-watch needed to enjoy this episode, but we certainly recommend it to anyone with an interest in publishing or authorship. 

Jules and I watched the new Netflix movie, Persuasion, and Jules was certainly persuaded in her opinion about our hero. Spoilers abound, but does it really count if the story is 200 years old?

AJ, Mila, Sweet T, and Jules relive memories of where it all began: on a beach talking about Ice Planet Barbarians. 

After reading The Architect, Sweet T went digging into the rest of Nikki Sloane's series. She found herself reading The Doctor, first in the series, and took her partner along for the ride. In this episode, they sit down without the rest of the girls for a conversation - or a perhaps a therapy session? - about this story.

In this episode, we review Nikki Sloane's The Architect. Guest reader Dalia joins the four of us to talk about consent, *specialty* furniture, and the consequences and thrills of adding a third. Check out Dalia on Insta @the.dalia.rae

AJ and Mila caught up to review The Lost City (2022), the new romcom with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. This is first installment in our one-on-one series, but look for more to come.  *Apologies for the audio quality - AJ had mic issues that our wonderful editor could not entirely overcome, despite a valiant effort! 

Jules hosted a daylong high tea so we could binge ALL of Bridgerton Season 2 together and then record our thoughts. Check out the season on Netflix first if you don't want spoilers! 

No spoilers - we all agree that this episode's book, The Gentlemen's Club by Emmanuelle de Maupassant, is worth the read. In fact, if dungeons and vikings sound like a good time to you, we recommend you go check out at least the first chapter before you listen to our convo.

We delved into spicy monster stories for this episode, reading Fertile in My Ex-Boyfriend's Dungeon: An Interactive Adventure Level 3 by Amanda Clover. 

We talked werewolves, monsters, and the Omegaverse for this episode on Suzanne Wright's Feral Sins.

AJ, T, Jules, and Mila talk about the Booktok-famous Ruthless Empire, by Rina Kent.
