Margaret Vandenburg is back with American in Paris, the prequel to Craze! In this episode, we talk about Henri's confidence in her career vs. her person, gender identity, and her relationships to two powerful salon leaders - and how these factors all shaped her character development. We also get into the difference between the salons of Gertrude Stein and Natalie Barney, their egos, free love, and monogamy.

Are you in a reading slump and need some TBR inspo, or are just plain nosy about what we read when we aren't reading sapphic literature? You're in luck today, because Haylie is giving you the dirt on her forty-four book-long TBR list. A mix of LGBTQIA+ and other genres, it's an insight into what is on Haylie's shelf.

Thank you to StoryGraph for the great descriptions of all the books, and for storing Haylie's lengthy TBR. This is not an ad or sponsorship, she just loves it.

In this episode, we get into some of the nuances of a lesbian split, even before the technicality of marriage. As Tina and Bette come up against these challenges, we tackle the topics right along with them. Haylie and Lauren are on opposite sides of the coin on choices made by both Tonya and Jenny. Shane has inappropriate sex, again.
