In this week's episode , we're diving into all things ACOTAR 6 based on Sarah J. Maas' appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. From the question on everyone’s mind (is Tamlin getting a redemption arc?) to Elain’s love life and the ships we’re not over, we’re unpacking all our theories, predictions, and hopes for the next book. We also get into potential crossovers, lingering plot threads, and everything we need Sarah J. Maas to address.

Dearest Gentle Reader… we’re finally talking about Bridgerton Season 4. In this episode we recap the newest season, share our favourite moments, and break down the romance, drama, and scandals that had the ton talking. From standout scenes and character arcs to the moments that completely shocked us, we’re giving our full thoughts on how this season delivered (or didn’t). Expect plenty of opinions, a little chaos, and a deep dive into everything that made this season unforgettable.

This week, we’re choosing chaos.

First up: the fictional couples we’re convinced did not make it past the epilogue. Then we get honest about the books and authors we refuse to read (no explanations owed… but we’ll give them anyway). And finally, it’s time for the main event: The Book Boyfriend Draft. We each build our ultimate team of five book boyfriends and pit them against each other to decide whose roster would actually come out on top.

It’s our February catch-up episode! We’re recapping all of our bookish events in the past month and covering the latest book buzz. But the real chaos? We’re diving into your hot takes — the controversial opinions, unpopular tropes, and bold romance reader confessions that came out during our Sydney Romance Readers Picnic. Some we agree with. Some we absolutely do not. Expect debates, drama, and a little bit of friendly yelling.

We’re back this week with another genre deep dive — small town romances! Tune in as we gush over our favourite hot cowboys, stable hands, and charming locals who make falling in love feel inevitable. We’re talking the tropes that define the genre (hello forced proximity, found family, and grumpy town heartthrobs), plus we do a trope draft to create our very own ultimate small town romance.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean roses and reservations. In this special episode, we’re celebrating romance in all its forms — from the ultimate solo reader date ideas (yes, staying in counts) to handing out our very official Best Kiss Awards 👀💋. Whether you’re single, partnered, or just here for the vibes, this episode is your permission slip to romanticise your reading life.

What actually makes a book a 5-star read—and when does it earn 5 chillis too? 👀 In this episode, we break down the ingredients that take a romance from “enjoyable” to unforgettable. From emotional payoff and character chemistry to tension, tropes, and spice that hits, we unpack what makes us rate a book at the very top of our scale. Expect honest takes, personal reading rules, and a deep dive into why some stories linger long after the final page.

Sports romance has officially earned its place at the top of the romance genre—and in this episode, we’re doing a deep dive into why. From locker-room tension to slow-burn rivals-to-lovers, we unpack what makes sports romance so addictive and emotional. At the heart of the conversation is Heated Rivalry—the gold standard of hockey romance—as we explore its iconic dynamic, long-term yearning, and why Shane and Ilya have made such an impact. Expect trope talk, emotional analysis, and plenty of love for romance that hits both on and off the ice.
