We're Courtney and we're Sara and we're Bodice Tipplers, the podcast where we read the romance novels we used to steal off our grandmothers' nightstands (and then we drink about it.) Join us each episode as we examine the good, the bad, and the throbbing of vintage romances.

  • Excellent Podcast

    As a former twelve year old reading flea market romance books this is hands down my favorite of the romance book podcast. I am tickled every time I see a familiar title in the feed and enjoy looking at my old favs with adult eyes.

  • So funny

    I haven’t read many of the books this crew read and review, but the ones I have, I’ve enjoyed their analysis. The Thorn Birds is a book that I couldn’t finish reading due to the grooming and general misery, so I enjoyed hearing the character and plot discussion and finding out what happened in the end... thanks a bunch, I will keep subscribing and listen in when you do a book I’ve read 🥰
