Jayce Reads Romance

I love getting to chat with people. Gal Sal has been a presence on the Internet since 2019, but you might never know she's a romance reader based on her content. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/galsal

Two double digit months! This was an odd one because so many of these were audiobooks. I don't tend to have that high a percentage of my reading be audio. I enjoyed my choices. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/may-2026-wrapup

I am enjoying the new format of forearms. That I only share when I have enough I believe are worth sharing. It does mean that Sephie never knows when we are recording an episode. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/fun-with-forearms

I am reading! And reading a little bit more. I share all the books I read in April, up to our recording date. Final reading and purchasing stats will be in the show notes. To find the show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/april-2026-wrapup

Getting back in the groove… a little bit. I had very light reading months as I recover. It was nice to share with Sephie, even if the amount is less than we are used to. I’m going to continue to “soft DNF” when I’m not feeling a book anymore. I highly recommend joining me in this.

After I joined Kay and Elle on an episode of their podcast, I was thinking about books I would want to read with them. This book was at the top of the list. It shook me when I read it in 2024. I loved returning to it with others. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/bookclub-thenaughtylist

Tote bags have been the biggest (volume wise) accumulation of bookish swag. There are many ways I've gotten tote bags, but the result is over 40 that live in my office. They take up a lot of space. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/bookishswag-totebags

I've been hiding this audio for almost a year! Just because I took them out of 2025 rotation, doesn't mean I stopped noting them. It felt so good making Sephie laugh like this. I hope you enjoy it! For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/give-me-forearms

This is a lighthearted conversation. I know there are some visuals you might not get. That's okay. Sephie and I talk about the expectations put on readers to have large, curated, aesthetically pleasing bookshelves. We share what works for us. And hopefully make you laugh.

I'm so grateful that Michael finally gave in for this plan of mine. I am not a gay man, so I cannot confirm whether the books written by woman are less true to the experience that if it's written by a man. Let us know if you have books that you feel are great or terrible examples. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/bookclub-thenewguy

It is rare that I'm able to ask a question in so many panels. I thought I would get maybe one or two in. Not 10! I am so grateful for the space Love Ya'll created. I have such FOMO about not being there this year. Enjoy! For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/loveyall2025

I share with Sephie all the books that I read in January. This was a small reading month for me. Self-care is more important right now as I prepare for medical leave. For full notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/january-2026-wrapup

Our book club episodes are typically romance books, but in order to be better informed while reading I like to turn to the experts. The Ethical Slut is often the first introduction to polyamory. Come listen to what we thought. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/ethical-slut

Normally, Michael carefully curates the blooper reels into categories to make it make sense for ya’ll. These fit none of those. They’ve been sitting in a folder and he didn’t want to hold onto them anymore. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/michaels-bloopers

Warning: We spoil things from both Heated Rivalry the show, the book, and The Long Game. We needed to take a moment to talk about the effect this show has had. Hailey is back to share her insight into how this show could only have been made in Canada. There are some nuts and bolts about the media business in Canada. I loved learning about it.

I know I cheated by naming an author or a series, but I don't care!!! 2025 was a great reading year. I loved getting to talk about some of my top reads. It's been almost a year since some of them were read. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/top-10-2025

I had a hellish end to my 2025. I'm okay, but it greatly affected my reading. I talk about all of them with Michael. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/december-2025-wrapup

If you've been with me for a while, you might remember the forearms episodes. I had stopped them as I was reading fewer and fewer books with them, but this was fun! For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/xoxo-forearms

With all the end of year posts, videos, rants, etc, coming out, and all the end of year feelings already making some of us quick to trigger, please be mindful of what you are engaging with and how. For show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/jayces-big-feelings

I'm really enjoying this new format for reading wrap ups. It keeps it moving, and I get to be silly. It was a fun month overall. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com .podcast/november-2025-wrapup

What happens when you get three romance book lovers in a virtual room? An awesome conversation!!! We had three different intros to romance, but found each other at Smut Lovers. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/what-in-the-smut

This is Chloé's favorite romance novel. It's the first of a series, if you don't like to read before the second book comes out. We spoil everything, so fair warning. Enjoy! For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/bookclub-shieldofsparrows

This includes my last big ARC push. A re-read. Special Edition novellas. I had a great time this month with most of the reading. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/october-2025-wrapup

I bring Sephie and Michael to talk about the evolution we've experienced in this second year of Jayce Reads Romance. We've grown. We've learned. We tried new things. We've abandoned those new things when they didn't serve us. I can't wait to see what we figure out next. For full show notes, head to: www.jaycereadsromance.com/podcast/ happy-2-years
