Plot Trysts

We loved the setting and the characters here, and the challenges felt very authentic.

Meg thought this was a weird and entertaining porno version of Sleepy Hollow. Laine did not.

We start October right with some vampires!

This book is cute and fun and quick but I make a lot of gambling metaphors regarding a lack of payoff.

In which we determine the X Files is a send up of gothic literature.

This book is perfect, wouldn't change a thing. Go read it.

Meg feels like this is a Masterpiece. Laine doesn't know how to feel.

The Wynchester series ends as it began, in a crazy-whimsical version of England and featuring the detective skills of a band of wealthy and socially marginalized do-gooders.

Ben is my new book boyfriend and I will not be taking questions at this time.

We adored the relationship in the end to this trilogy, and it struck the perfect balance between setting and characters. The ending wasn't our cup of tea, but it was very easy to look past.

Batshit in Bed works best in small sections, but Stephanie continues to Stephanie.

This series has been a treat, and this book is no exception when it comes to providing the well-written complex characters we've come to expect. Laine felt a little too much about the heroine to really love this one, but it's definitely worth a read.

This book is so much fun even if these girls are the worst spies ever.

You should know before you read this that it is the first book in a duology.

The Hathaways wraps up without any coitus interruptus, which doesn't seem very on-brand. We really liked certain parts of this book, but had a hard time talking about it because PTSD is scary and your wife can't be your therapist.

We don't love this plot, we don't love this conflict, but we love this book so so so much and we basically can't stop gushing about how perfect Leo and Marks are.

The third Hathaway book may have a lackluster romance, but the sibling interactions are so good we can't recommend skipping it.

This book has a LOT going on. Even though it's the second in the series it goes back in time for several chapters of set up, there's a weird murder doctor love triangle that serves no purpose, and the pairings from book 1 and book 4 in the series get a lot of time on page. There is also a sex cabin that is a significant portion of the book and absolves all sins and you should totally read this.

This book is a total fantasy. Rich dude who desperately wants to spend his money? Check. Incredible chemistry? Check. Dude who solves all problems so his lover can sleep in? Check. Yeah, we liked this.

Batshit in the demimonde isn't very batshit, but is very filled with sexy encounters.

Longtime listeners might think Laine was the first person to roar like a lion in this episode, but it was Meg!

The adventures in Tanria have come to an end, and we end up talking much more about the arc of Tanria than Rosie and Adam's immortal place in it.

Did you know "Ostia" in Latin translates to "Cougar Town?"

There is nothing I can put in this description that can come close to describing the crazy that is this novel. Convos with God, drugging a man so he'll knock you up, being blackmailed into marriage by a will and a butt birthmark are only the beginning.

Meg is joined by Jenny Holiday to discuss what we really mean when we say things are historically accurate.
