  • Ep. 345 - A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole
    Aug 26 2024

    HBs, we're back with more Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole! The second (first?) book in the series, A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER, did not disappoint! This book starts at 11 and then refuses to simmer down. Get ready for big feelings, incredulity, and enthusiastic cackling (though, you should be used to that by now). There were so many times when Mel thought the hero could not be redeemed and somehow Kresley Cole pulls it off beautifully. She's a wizard!

    TW: short mention of suicidal ideation and brief conversations about dubious consent, non-consent, and coercion.

    Bonus Content: Sabrina went to SteamyLit Con and she didn't ask Anita Kelly about London's cow story... but she might have mooed? (the jury is still out), gaslighting with beautiful cross stiches, "yes-and"ing friends with barnyard noises, gnawing your own leg off as the reader meet-cute, Emmaline is an Immortal Youth ^TM, "all the checks are cashed!", he's a sledge hammer wielded by a ticking time bomb, a Kresley Cole behind-the-back handy ^TM, picturing cartoon-mascot-wolf-action during the super hot werewolf schmex scenes (why brain?!), and so much more!

    Lady Loves:

    Sabrina: dye your hair! Sabrina is finally going to have green hair again!

    Melody: consider a front flip! Mel panic-purchased a one month membership to her local trampoline park to close out the summer with house-bound kids and SHE DID A FRONT FLIP for the first time in YEARS. It was so empowering! So fun! Your body can do shit you might not even know about anymore! So, just noodle on maybe doing that front flip at the next opportunity.

  • Ep. 344 - Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni
    Aug 19 2024

    Hey y'all! Mel and Sabrina are here with SORRY, BRO by Taleen Voskuni! It's a gorgeous sapphic contemporary between two Armenian-American women, one of whom is on a serious journey to self-discovery. This book weaves a beautiful love story within a rich tapestry of Armenian history and culture. It was GORGEOUS.

    Bonus Content: Mel's son is the Pitbull of Baby Taming, it was a little hard for Mel to be in this heroine's brain, holy proposal from hell Batman!, the responsibility of a white person in an intercultural relationship, photobooth fumbles, stomachs falling out of butts, authors who have an ulterior motive of making the reader SO HUNGRY, and so much more!

    Lady Loves:

    Sabrina: all of you beautiful listeners who came to Sabrina's defense on that video snippet about icebergs that Mel didn't follow at all. You're the best!

    Mel: When a kid comes up to you saying they saw a baby bear in your neighborhood but, don't worry, it was actually a gopher. Phew!

  • Ep. 343 - Avaritia by Colette Rhodes
    Aug 12 2024

    Hey HBs! Mel and Sabrina are here with AVARITIA by Colette Rhodes! This series is much beloved by both of them and this book didn't disappoint. Plus, we've got a heroine that is 100% HMHB (Hot Mess HB). It's a grumpy and adorably delusional Shadow Daddy plus a sunshine, go-with-the-flow, sex-positive maximalist. We went into this book with the promise of tentacle restraints, somnophilia, and primal and, in the words of Sabrina, "EVERY! CHECK! WAS CASHED!"

    Bonus Content: Mel has poison ivy on her face, making fashion out of red flags, Colette Rhodes calls out 100% of the Heaving Bosoms podcast, and so much more!

    Lady Loves

    Sabrina: Lavender lemonade on a hot summer day! Get some sugar-free lemonade and add some lavender syrup to it!

    Mel: Mario Kart with the kids! Everyone is finally old enough to play together and it's been super fun!
