  • Consuming in the best way!

    I am required to be selective with my listening locations! I get so drawn in and feel like I am on the couch with them that I’m laughing, commenting, and audibly exclaiming without a second thought! You will immediately feel like one of the book girlies and enjoy the book club vibes from these amazing ladies! Keep on being baddies!

  • Funny, authentic and cozy

    Listening to this podcast is like dishing over your favorite books with a glass of wine and your bookish BFF. These ladies hold nothing back as they banter about romantasy books and somehow make you feel like you’re in the conversation too. They keep it real but mostly really funny! My favorite episodes have been with author JR Cathers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beast of Brax: JR Cathers Q&A
Q: What can new readers expect from Beast of Brax if they haven't read Child of Chavay?
Jess suggests that the book can be approached as the start of an epic love story while acknowledging that prior knowledge of the world enriches the experience, but the book is still accessible as an entry point.
Beast of Brax: JR Cathers Q&A
Q: Are Nyx and Err the only POVs, or will there be additional perspectives in Beast of Brax?
The answer confirms that the narrative will stay with Ur and Nyx as POV characters, focusing on their dynamics and the unfolding history rather than adding new viewpoints.
Beast of Brax: JR Cathers Q&A
Q: Will Beast of Brax influence reading order for the rest of the series, or should readers wait until the series progresses?
Jess explains that while Beast of Brax can be read as a standalone, the recommended approach is to read in publishing order to preserve the intended reveal and world-building pace, with future installments clarifying how past events inform later ones.
Sable Sorensen LIVE from Romantasy Con
Q: Is Stark going to have more POV presence in Fury Bound, and how will that affect Marin's arc?
Yes, Stark will have more presence in Fury Bound in a way that adds depth to his arc while still focusing on Marin's growth and consent-driven relationship development.
Nisha J. Tuli Interview
Q: How would you describe your writing process and what is your approach to plotting vs pantsing?
I describe myself as a panzer who needs to hear the characters speak and see them interact before I know the full story. I draft sections in a fast, messy first pass and then rebuild with a clearer ending plan, adjusting as needed to ensure the ending fits the evolving plot.
