His Redemption: Episode 7 (FINALE) 17.06.2022

The final episode of the His Redemption series! The author throws in one more random plot twist, which immediately becomes resolved. The main characters get a "happily ever after"; well Liam does, and Azalea has to live in her childhood abuse house while stuck with Stockholm syndrome Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bad-book-bash--5889791/support .

His Redemption: Episode 6 09.06.2022

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault, emotional, physical, and mental abuse take place within this episode and this season of BBB . . . . . Another warning: This episode is absolutely disgusting, this book is disgusting, and we cover the worst part of the book in this episode.  Liam keeps arguing with his wolf, Gavin, to NOT rape Azalea (his supposed soul mate), but can't hold him back any longer. Gavi...

His Redemption: Episode 5 07.06.2022

TRIGGER WARNING: Depictions of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and emotional, mental, and physical abuse in this season . . . . . The subject of women fucking dogs is brought up YET AGAIN by my guest stars, without any prompting from the BBB host. I hate that this has become a popular topic. Liam and Azalea continue to date, with him bringing her cold macaroni n cheese to the cinema and then using...

His Redemption: Episode 4 01.06.2022

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault, emotional, physical, and mental abuse are talked about in this book review . . . . Liam keeps ignoring his duty as alpha, which includes keeping the town safe from hunters, because he's still trying to get his dick wet from the girl he tortured growing up. The author is still writing as though LGBTQ people don't exist in this universe. Felix talks about how he woul...

His Redemption: Episode 3 30.05.2022

His Redemption: Episode 2 25.05.2022

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault, emotional, mental, and physical abuse . . . Liam keeps beating up Azalea, and only starts to feel bad about it once he realizes she's his soulmate. Literally no other reason for his guilt. So he sends her away to an inn on the edge of town where she gets a nice job and meets nice friends, before he decides to come into her life and ruin it again. Felix tells us abo...

His Redemption: Episode 1 23.05.2022

TRIGGER WARNING: This book deals with sexual assault, as well as emotional, physical, and mental abuse. I highly suggest you do not listen to this season if these are topics which trigger you . . . . Comedian guest stars Mike Sable and Felix O'Connor join host Betsy Speer in her reading of "His Redemption", a werewolf novel that is really not about werewolves at all, and more about how a woman's o...

House of Night 2: Episode 6 18.05.2022

Finally we reach the end of the book! Zoey rescues Heath from the clutches of the evil red vampires. Zoey's memory is zapped away by Neferet, but then immediately restored so it doesn't really matter. James talks about titty fucking a ghost. Brian gets kind of nazi-ish when he talks about vampires.

House of Night 2: Episode 4 11.05.2022

Neferet gets sucked off by a dead teenager. An angry old man interrupts Zoey sucking off her ex-boyfriend in a Starbucks parking lot. We talk about James' dad's suicide, he was probably inspired by this book to be honest. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bad-book-bash--5889791/support .

House of Night 2: Episode 3 09.05.2022

Surprise, surprise; Zoey accuses more people of being slutty, even though she is rampantly cheating on her boyfriend this entire book, but I digress.  Brian and James get more pissy at the lack of a plot, and Brian gets oddly defensive about Leonardo DiCaprio dating much younger women. Definitely not letting Brian around my daughter in the future. We also talk about suicide bridges, and what our f...

House of Night 2: Episode 2 04.05.2022

A sexy, new professor is introduced, one who clearly doesn't understand the boundaries between teacher and student and who immediately focuses on our protagonist Zoey because the authors just can't give this girl a break. Brian and James are salty that they can't get sponsored by Magic Spoon. I also want a Magic Spoon sponsorship so pass the message along. K thanks Become a supporter of this podca...

House of Night 2: Episode 1 02.05.2022

BRIAN AND JAMES ARE BACK, BITCHESSSS!! The lads who were here for our very first episode have returned to roast the sequel in the House of Night series: Betrayed by PC and Kristen Cast. Immediately (and I mean, like within the first 2 pages), this book starts off with some off-color remarks about gay people and the mentally disabled. Zoey is also basically the queen bee of the school, after removi...

A Court of Thorns and Roses: Episode 7 (FINALE!!) 15.03.2022

Sinead Walsh can be found on Instagram at @sineadwalshcomedy, Jess can be found at @divajesscoll Become...

A Court of Thorns and Roses: Episode 6 10.03.2022

Jess and Betsy complain about how expensive lingerie is, and how you can't simply just rip it off like many do in these romance books. Feyre manages to make it "Under the Mountain" and can't solve a riddle which takes anybody half a second to figure out. Betsy tells the story about how she got two Yankee candles from two different guys at Christmas one year. Become a supporter of this podcast: htt...

A Court of Thorns and Roses: Episode 5 08.03.2022

Tamlin corners Feyre and steals her cookie (literally, not metaphorically). The faeries do some MAJOR slut-shaming on the guy who saved Feyre from some evil party faeries, and who ends up saving her even more later in the book. Jess and Betsy explain to Sinead the proper way to give a BJ. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bad-book-bash--5889791/support .

A Court of Thorns and Roses: Episode 3 01.03.2022

Jess, Sinead, and Betsy talk about #notallfaeries verses #allfaeriesarebastards. We see more similarities between "A Court of Thorns and Roses" and "Beauty and the Beast", except for the fact that Belle is very smart and Feyre is kinda dumb, but still smarter than everyone else in this book.

Ink Exchange: Episode 6 (FINALE!!) 11.02.2022

Uploading this a day late, sorry guys! In our finale episode, we reach a very anticlimactic ending for a very non-eventful book. The War Faerie makes a very brief appearance that means absolutely nothing at all for the rest of the book. The guys give their summary while Mij continues to sleep in the background.
