FINAL EP SORRYYYY 15.10.2026 2:23
This is a teeny tiny final episode! Sorryyy ;)
20. Started on Wattpad Romance Recs 01.10.2026 30:08
Do you like wolves or biting or pinching? You know what. Don't tell me. Here are some romance book recommendations that were originally started on Wattpad or Inkitt. I love a little unpasteurized cheese literary bazaar find. Also, some tips on how to not be weird in a social situation; take with a grain of salt. Checkmate - Lisa Baillie Teague's Breeder - Leona Page

Are you a fucking nightmare when you're bored? Well, knock that off; you have free will. But here are some recommendations for books I always read when I'm listless and bored, like a surly Victorian woman who's been locked in the attic, and like, that part is fine but it's fucking stuffy in here. Can I get a box fan and a little nosh; a little of everything would be great, thanks....
18. A Good One / A Bad One 03.09.2026 27:45
I'm tired; this is kind of short. I recorded and edited this really quickly, so we're going to find out if there are errors together! How nice! We have almonds and an alien child in a human suit, TV rules for being a good girlfriend, plus hugging, roller skating camp, autumn, stinky Worcester, devil pacts, and clerks. Basket of Wishes - Rebecca Paisley Lawman - Diana Palmer (¡NOT SORRY!)
17. Shifter Romance Recs 20.08.2026 30:35
Do you or do you not know of an alien or shifter who is looking for a female Gaston to mooch off of them? I need to know ASAP. Shifter romance books today, and just saying, get ready to ruin ur clothes if ur about to turn into a bear or something. There’s a bunch of other stuff too, baby wigs, Glenn Danzig, Voltaire, a black beauty to take the edge off, a Nashua Costco bucket friendship, sonder...
16. Mystery Romance Recs 06.08.2026 31:08
I can't wait for MySpace to make a comeback, for like the 5th time. I wasn't ready before. I was still pretending to be a good person, but that's done now. This week's episode is its regular amount of all over the place. I talk about dating, and torture, cocaine dolls, vampires with a greasy middle part, seaside lurking, someone hot wrecking the vibe, how feral I am for a man with a stutter, and...
15. Too Much Stuff Romance Recs 23.07.2026 30:47
My cup runneth over, with Pina Colada Celsius and these romance books that all have too much stuff. What kind of stuff? Pet pigs and child brides and truck stop strip shows and alien kings. If that sounds like a bad thing to you, you might just not like cool stuff. And hey, that's alright. I'm not really the authority on cool stuff. I'm 35 and love to sleep. I'm looking for my mini beef jerky sti...
14. Overheard Sh*t Talking Romance Recs 09.07.2026 29:52
It sounds like a weird trope, but it's not. It combines two of my favorite things, eavesdropping and emotional damage. I'm tired, again, always, forever. Alph got hit by a horrible scooter man. I have emotions, but only at the saddest of paintings. I had to work on the 4th of July (observed). I hate being outdoors and people who riff too hard on a bass. I love Selling Sunset (not a new revelation)...
13. Random Recs Vol. 2 25.06.2026 28:30
Wow, great, it's a shorter show! Sorry, or you're welcome. But I gotta find a new job and a dog sibling for Alph, and so I'm doing that thing from the Bible, I think? I dunno, again raised Catholic and Catholic people don't read the Bible. But it's about splitting the baby in half. And as Tracy Morgan says in 30 Rock, "And I will take the top half, for that is the part wit...
12. Random Romance Recommendations 11.06.2026 42:38
Hiii I forgot to read anything for this week's episode! How? Was I abducted? Maybe! So this episode is all random romance book recommendations. They really were randomly picked, but I did heavily screen them because my mom listens to this show. Supportive parents are a blessing 🙏 Anyway, I'll let you figure out what the books are. I'm tired. Thanks to our sponsors: Fake Prison Boyfri...
11. 1 Rage Bait Romance & 2 Perf Recs 28.05.2026 43:28
I forgot to warn for spoilers for the main book, just FYI. Sometimes you take a long, hard look at your life and realize you're being too nice, at least in the past two weeks. Probably because you're too tired from allergies and living a life of lower middle-class luxury, aka you've been nodding off on your most expensive piece of furniture, which to most people would be mid-priced. Anyway, nothin...
10. Divorce Romance: The Other Woman & Complicated 14.05.2026 42:31
Did you not realize that by me making 10 episodes of this show, I fulfilled the prophecy foretold at the advent of my birth? Yeah, I finally get the two gay boyfriends I always wanted, and a Sea-Doo. My prophecy was sponsored by a personal watercraft and pontoon boat lobbyist. I just hope my next prophecy is sponsored by BMX I need a bike with front AND back pegs for my two platonic gay boyfriends...
9. Biker Romance: Riggs & Unwritten Rules 30.04.2026 37:37
I don't wanna dieeeeeeeee I just wanna ride my mo-tor-cy-cle, it's the G.I. Joe PSA one, not the Arlo Guthrie one. Motorcycle Club Romance books with too much face touching and eye contact make me uncomfortable, but I'll be fine, I'm gonna power thru this, because I love these two books. I'm pro-cat fight, pro-MC, pro-forehead botox, pro-goth code switching, anti-too much cheese, anti-hogging the...
8. Messy Gut Punch Romance: His Bittersweet Regret & 4 Recs 16.04.2026 38:41
Am I in love with Gary, the landlord? Is Gary the landlord my dream man? There was A LOT of hissing and crying that had to get edited out of this episode. I permitted myself to be more totalitarian than usual in honor of reaching womanhood, aka turning 35. It's MESSY GUT PUNCH ROMANCE BOOKS I love emotional torture, hissing, and hate Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka. 4 messy gut punch romance book rec...
7. Everyone Sucks Romance: Have You Seen Her? & Maggie's Dad 02.04.2026 43:56
HELLO, 911? HELP, I'VE BEEN TRICKED. This episode's romance books all feature main characters I would hate to sit next to at a dinner party! They'd just keep saying euphemistic shit to me like "Wow, it's so great you don't care what anyone thinks about you, you're such a free spirit." You know what, I'm gonna sneak out the back door and I'm taking my French torte with me. Thank you to our sponso...
6. Historical Romance: Miss Lockharte's Letters, Unlocked & The Rogue of Islay Isle 19.03.2026 43:39
Alph ate something mysterious, and I'm waiting to see if he barfs everywhere. Happy Spring and End of the First Mercury in Retrograde for 2026! I'm tired, chipper, might lose my job, and wearing a bald cap for my brother in arms, Stone Cold Steve Austin. 3:16 only comes once a year, but I'm keeping the spirit alive. This episode is all about rad Historical Romance Heroines 💅 and the doofus men...
5. The Other Woman Trope: The Tycoon’s Pregnant Mistress & Sean 05.03.2026 41:17
Listen, I'm tired. Someone tried to steal my puppets, I ASSUME. Why else would someone have tried to break into my apartment? Thou shalt not covet puppet neighbors or whatever. This week is about two weird books (normal books) that make me feel weird, but I still like a lot. If that's not enough of an endorsement, I don't know what to tell you Happy almost Stone Cold Steve Austin Day, and enjoy yo...
4. Alien Romance: Alien Tyrant & Strange Love 19.02.2026 46:56
SCI-FI ROMANCE 24/7 BABYYYY BEAM ME UP BEFORE I FREAK OUT. A Sinéad O'Connor speed boat hijacking meditation right over an incel and straight into space. A plea to read romance, the cashing in of some barely touched emotional manipulation, Pool Divorces, Stop at Stop Signs, Hot Bread from Outback. C'mon, put on your hair shirt, it's Lent Alien Tyrant - Ursa Dax Strange Love - Ann Aguirre
3. Not Actually Romance: Jane Eyre & Wuthering Heights 05.02.2026 43:53
Hey, don't shoot the messenger. If you were planning on rekindling a relationship while watching the new Wuthering Heights movie, I want you to think about racism and double coffins. They're mutually exclusive for Wuthering Heights. And in this corner, she's The Poorest, The Most Obscure, The Plainest, and The Littlest, coming in at probably like 80 Victorian pounds and a backbone of steel - GIVE...
2. Cheating Romance: Life As We Break It & Replacing My Ex 22.01.2026 41:11
This is a schadenfreude-forward episode! Beautiful. Special. Jackpot MASH. MASH Jackpot. My all-star main book for this episode, 'Replacing My Ex' by Jordan Silver, is just as good as Jane Eyre. The other featured book is a perfect read if you hate yourself and love being cheated on, but don't worry, it doesn't make you choose between the two! You get two horrible choices for the price of one. Har...
1. Random Romance: The Patient Nurse & Contagion 08.01.2026 39:55
I probably say 1997 a hundred times. I'm bad at counting but an optimistic guesser. Happy Seasonal Depression! Christmas is OVER. NYE is OVER. It might be a good time to read some romance novels. Dip a sad, cold lil toe into the mawkish, bathetic life of Noreen Kensington in The Patient Nurse. Diana Palmer is just LUCKY that I've read and own so many of her books...like so many. Call 911. I feel b...
