A Court of Tattoos and Rosé

This episode has it all. A tense meeting with the wolves. A lovely stroll through the garden paired with a demon attack. An adorable otter with a grisly message. The start of some huge secrets coming to light. Phew. It is a lot.

Join me as I interrogate Madi to figure out all her bookish preferences. I’ll admit that some of the “would you rather” questions are a bit cruel. Then again, so am I. Hehehe We are vent about the debacle that was Amazon Prime Days this year. 

Welcome to our first We Are Book Wh0res episode! We are kicking it old school and diving into one of the first dark romances and RH books that we read, Den of Vipers by @katieknightauthor 🐍 This books has one of Madi’s all-time favorite book boyfriends and one of my favorite violent FMCs. Enjoy! Side note: We recorded this earlier this week right before we heard the news that KA Knight is releasi...

Mads and I breakdown our new schedule and all the exciting things to come! Ya’ll spoke and we listened so prepare for some awesome new episodes covering anything and everything bookish! You want book recs? We got em! Need a rundown of next month’s releases? No problem! Want to hear some deep dives on your favorite series? We got you! And, of course, you want more HOEAB? Duh, we will definitely del...

Who is ready for some Empyrean madness?! I am joined by THREE (this is important) lovely bookworms this week as we chat about @rebeccayarros interview from last week. This inevitably devolves into pure chaos of theories and all the feels. Needless to say, this episode has spoilers for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame! 

After some rather gross investigative work, Bryce and Hunt head home to scrub themselves clean. Seems Hunt can’t stop his snooping though when he makes a sparkly discovery. He is able to tear himself away from thoughts of Bryce’s left nightstand (iykyk) to introduce her to the delicious (and slightly self-destructive) Tharion.

Welcome back to Law and Order: Crescent City! Bryce and Hunt have a new top suspect but is that petty bitty really capable of that? Ehhh. Ruhn is an oblivious silly goose. Our CC detectives continue to catch some feelings for each other.

Caitlyn takes us on a tour of modern dating, run club men, and dating profiles. 

Nothing like a demon attack to ruin a perfectly good bonding moment. It’s okay though because the immediate aftermath gives Bryce a chance to finally be vulnerable with someone again. I have a mini rant about Hunt’s prior love. IYKYK. Caitlyn also unveils her poolside thriller list!

Welcome to Madi’s Bookish Zagat Guide to NYC! She is giving all the details from her weekend trip to the Big Apple. Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to sell her a Peloton bike at a good discount. We also debate the merits of the two of us taking on Vegas together. Bad idea, right? 

Time for a cozy little visit with Phillip. Any sympathy we may have felt for the wayward radical is gone pretty quickly as the true depth of his cruelty comes to light. The visit rattles Hunt and his belief in himself. Good thing that Bryce is there to distract him. Hunt’s mood significantly improves when Bryce puts on a show for him at the range.

Join Mads and I as we fangirl over our latest book boyfriends and girlfriends. Prepare to fall into love….or, at the very least, lust. Is it getting hot in here or is that just us?

Pardon the interruption in our normal programming. Thanks to the arrival of my beautiful niece, this week’s schedule is a bit wonky. Rather than skip this week, we decided to give everyone a sneak peek of the types of bonus episodes you get access to in all tiers of our Patreon! To that end, we are hopping back into Heir of Fire with the lovely Danelle (@queerlygayoticreader)!

Ready for a recap of HOEAB so far? With an added dash of chaos? Oh and some post-HOFAS theories? Excellent then this episode is for you! 🌙 PSA: Reminder that our spoiler ban on HOFAS has been lifted! 

Culpa Mia, Taylor Swift, Smashwords, and clearly the plan went out the window. So, enjoy! 

Well Hunt’s visit with the Oracle went better than Bryce’s and Ruhn’s visits but not by much. Her words definitely stuck with Hunt though given the weird looks he can’t stop shooting Bryce’s way. The trio debates how the horn could be repaired but everyone has different theories. Bryce grapples with some dark memories during their research. 🌙 PSA: Our spoiler ban on HOFAS has been lifted! I repea...

We are taking a brief detour from HOEAB this week. I’m joined by the lovely Jules (@forlitsandgiggles) and Elijah (@littlewickedbookbox) as we chat about our favorite latest releases and some upcoming books that we can’t wait for. And yes, they both remind me of a lot of releases dates that I had wrong in my head. We all knew it would happen.

Join Mads as she gets to experience me freaking out and spiraling over the impending release of TTPD and what all the easter eggs could mean!

This week starts out with calling Caitlyn out for her various shenanigans. Don’t worry, she gets me back for being extra. The laughs were needed before we dive into these chapters because Micah is in full a-hole mode after Bryce’s rejection in the elevator. Then we have to deal with the frustratingly odd Oracle. Good times.

Hunt and Bryce are on their way to the Comitium after a game of nose goes with Ruhn on who has to go see the Oracle. Bryce makes the mistake of scrolling through Hunt’s photos on his phone and we all know you have to be careful when scrolling! The pair’s timing truly couldn’t be worse when they go to leave the barracks. Good thing that Bryce is an iconic genius. 

Mads and I are back! Join us as we spill all the tea from our girls’ trip to Nashville. We’re talking raunchy cowboys, bite marks in odd places and Madison’s rage at our movie choice. This week also includes an announcement for our new Book Club structure (which I came up with and Mads thought I was crazy...). 

Caitlyn and I are conductors of the Hot Mess Express today. So with that warning, prepare for a history lesson with one of our favorite shadow daddies with a side of chaos. This chapter is a reminder that this book truly is a “whodunit” at its core and we are all here for the mystery. We wrap up this week with a reminder to not be a meanie.

This week I am joined by the one, the only, the amazing J.A. George (@pnwwritingwitch)! She is here to chat all things Gothic Grove and give some teasers for the next book in the series, Heavy is the Crown! We also chat about the latest debacle in the Booksta community.  ✨ Mark your calendars and set your alarms because Heavy is the Crown drops TOMORROW!!! Jac is doing a little surprise for every...

After a very long day, Bryce welcomes her new roomie to their home. Hunt, being such a good roommate, proceeds to ask a series of very blunt questions and also gets caught creeping. Meanwhile, Syrinx begins his plan to ensure he gets double meals. 

This week is a deep dive into the Divine Rivals duet (or duology, whichever you prefer) with the one and only, Ashley! This might just be one of the most chaotic episodes we’ve had in a long time. Prepare for a lot of tangents including, but not limited to, Attack on Titan, haunted diamonds, the abysmal state of my reading room, and, of course, magical typewriters. Note this episode is NOT spoiler...
