Where the hell have you been, Loca? It’s time for New Moon.

We are in our Depression Era and Jacob Era, and we need you to come along. To help, Christine brings you a cocktail named: October, November, December, January (IYKYK). It’s a dark rum because it’s dark times. Don’t worry, there’s cinnamon.

The Twilight Saga continues as we chat underrated character Carlisle, Edward wanting Bella to eat the f-ing birthday cake, lying where you stand after a break-up until the darkness takes you, Jacob’s glow-up, and Bella getting ghosted.

As per usual, we bring you our castings and MVP of the episode.

Join us for the rest of the Twilight Series!

Our Twilight Saga journey continues with Part 2 of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. And lucky for everyone we have fixed our audio YAY!!!!!

Jamie brings you a cocktail that is technically from part 1 of Twilight, but we don't care. It was tasty and it's got Coca-Cola (as we know Bella can drink an impressive amount!)

We continue our Twilight chat with more Edward hot and cold ("I'm sorry baby"), Edward rocking Bella like a baby, hot couple James and Victoria, and the famous cross-eyed scene.

As per usual, we bring you our castings and MVP of the episode.

****IMPORTANT: Guys, we had some reoccurring audio issues recording this episode. We finally accepted it as is because we simply could not have the same conversation again and again. So, apologies for the less than ideal quality. Happily though, I can say that Twilight Part 2 sounds great. We figured it out YAY!*****

...................................

Let's revisit our youth and chat the Twilight Saga MF-ERS! Stephenie Meyer brought us Bella "cold medicine abuser" Swan, Edward "beige turtleneck" Cullen, and Jacob "bad wig" Black. We are forever grateful.

Christine brings you a cocktail in honour of the apple book cover. It is an apple cocktail, duh. Jamie loved it, which is rare so seriously make this one.

Then we chat Twilight. We cover how Jamie used to make out with her Edward poster, Twilight fun facts, Hot Dad Charlie, the best scene ever made, and our love for hot n' cold.

As per usual, we bring you our castings and MVP of the episode.

In our special Halloween Book Club episode, we chat the book 'A Dark & Secret Magic' by Wallis Kinney. This cozy (but a little dark), halloween-themed, romance mystery was EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED.

Christine brings you a book cocktail straight from the pages of the book: Pumpkin Pomegrenate Punch made with a honey pumpkin syrup. YUM.

We absolutely ate this book up. It had nonsense, a hot witch man, and a cat named Merlin. What more could you ask for?

If you're looking for a Halloween cozy read that is not TOO cozy, we highly recommend this book.

As per usual, we bring you our castings and MVP of the episode.

We are done Mother of Death & Dawn, the last book in the War of Lost Hearts series by Carissa Broadbent! We needed to honour a favourite character of ours, Sammerin. So, Christine brings you a plum wine cocktail that he would surely love.

We dive into the last portion of this book. We chat war (duh), unique and complex characters, nail-biting action, and somehow Carissa tied up all these story lines. Amazing. (Except for the hummingbird; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HUMMINGBIRD LADY CARISSA!!!!!?)

As per usual, we bring you our castings and MVP of the episode.

Tune into our finale episode for the War of Lost Hearts series coming up next!
