Join us, Joey, Lexx, and Birdie, as we drink cocktails and talk about cock-tales. Each episode we pick a romance novel that none of us have read before. Of course we don't want just the typical pull-on-your-heartstrings-Hallmark channel kind of romance -- We're searching for romance that is spicy, kinky, and maybe just a tad bit trashy. Once read, then the real fun begins. Welcome to our Lusty Lib... more

  • Sexy, humorous, top quality commentary.

    For me the story started with the NYT’s article “Women Really Want to Talk After Seeing Babygirl” by Alyson Krueger, Jan. 11, 2025, updated Jan. 13th. There, from the third paragraph through next three were the Dames and the LLP. Then in quick succession I went to their website, watched the Screening Room edition of A24’s Babygirl, and did dinner and the movie itself. The Dames nailed it. They created high anticipation for the first scene, then set up the movie without spoilers, and did it all w... more

  • Cheers ladies!

    This podcast is tantamount to having drinks with your favorite girlfriends and talking about all the titillating details of your sex life…or perhaps the sex life you wish you had. Is that the book or this cocktail making me blush?!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 2 Lexx’s Pick- The New Gods
Q: Were you disappointed that there wasn't more smut in this book, you know, romance versus smut?
I mean, a tiny bit, but I actually really enjoyed the book so much that it didn't necessarily matter. It was satisfying enough that I was gonna make it through the book.
Ep. 2 Lexx’s Pick- The New Gods
Q: What did you think of the female lead character Leonora?
She was very intelligent and openly aware of being young and in a tough position, yet she worked really hard and didn't let anyone hold her down.
Ep. 2 Lexx’s Pick- The New Gods
Q: How did it read for you?
I didn't need to know Greek mythology. The author did an amazing job of giving you the back stories in little snippets of each of the five male characters.
Ep. 10 Joey’s Pick- Does It Hurt?
Q: Would you DNF this book once you hit that point?
It depends on how the book was framed; a dark thriller might keep them engaged, while dominance issues might lead them to disengage.
Ep. 1 Joey’s Pick- Butcher & Blackbird
Q: If you were to give advice to someone who was about to go read this book, what do you think it would be?
Set aside the time for you to just have fun with this book and enjoy the love story despite the darker themes.
