This week Jerrica and Lia get carried away in the world of dragons and match the length of the book with the length of the podcast episode. Not really, but in podcast world, kind of close. They take a deep dive into Iron Flame by Rebecca Yaros and touch base on some missed continuity errors that Lia beats herself up over. Jerrica being never the wi…

We’re back reading buddies, and we are returning with our Dragons. Okay not Our dragons, but the dragons of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaros.

Well listen in because we have got a good one for you- possibly the…

This week Lia and Jerrica spice it up with a Why Choose book and get down and dirty with Lia’s favorite thing on earth; continuity errors. Three Swedish Mountain Men is the book of the week and they are instantly confused. Then get confused some more. Then try to make sense of some interesting position choices, but are left even more confused. Basi…

This week Lia surprises the nation with a whopping 5 star review. You heard it here first. Lia loved a book with the silly title of A Not So Meet Cute. While they both agree this book had no business being as good as it was, Jerrica took on this author like an addict to crack. Plowing through five in one week, it’s official that this author Meghan …

In this weeks episode Jerrica puts her kink club books aside and gets back into the world of fantasy and mates. They read the duology These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan. Comparing this to ACOTAR and Cruel Prince was more like mashing ideas into a decent version but not as standout. That being said, the girls really enjoyed the story. Lia has a mini ran…

This week Lia and Jerrica read Christina Lauren again, a dream duo that they could only hope one day can be them. Lia Jerrica has a ring to it don’t you think? Or Jerrica Lia maybe? We’ll decide later. In the meantime the duo enjoy the opposite book to each other, of course, and have some thoughts again about pov and kinks. Role playing or tying up…

This week is romance week and let us tell you, Lia has amped up the spice. She freestyle creates the best romance book to ever grace Jerrica’s ears. She wants it now. They talk about some romance tropes and highs and lows and repetition of this genre. But what you really need to hear is Lia’s new story. It will blow your mind! Jerrica is currently …

This week Lia and Jerrica review 2022 and believe it or not one of their top books is the others bottom! They discuss the switch from fantasy land to romance land and for Lia, also serious book land to keep her brain active since Jerrica made her read so many “awful/amazing” romance stories. Tomato tomatoe. They get pepped for the newest releases i…

We are back fellow book addicts!! In this episode Lia and Jerrica catch up on what they missed over the holidays, and rant with a capital R over booktok recommendations. This episode is not for the faint of heart or pure of soul. The girls get into a bdsm half fantasy novel about a retelling of Camelot. Spoiler, Lia gets angry. Jerrica laughs. Lia …

In this weeks episode the girls get Christmas-y! They read Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze and Lia justifies her high rating generosity on it being right after last weeks wamp of a book, Charm. Standards were not high. Jerrica who is almost always generous with her ratings had a quite skeptical view of the relationship in this book. Was is a step …

This week Lia and Jerrica chase Jerrica’s baby Raven around while rambling their annoyances about the latest Tracy Wolff book Charm. Among the reviews and recaps of this book, they discuss snacks and Jerrica breaks up with Lia after finding out Lia hates… Listen in to find out! Will there be another pod episode after this debacle or have they reuni…

This week Lia and Jerrica find a unicorn of a book where they both give it rave reviews and 5 stars! Lia giggled and jumped up and down and experienced what Jerrica called ‘happiness’. That moment was short lived when the girls read two more books in the series from the author that are total duds. Follow along with us on the ride from 5 star to 1 s…

In this weeks episode Lia and Jerrica announce they are now ARC readers! It’s really about time considering this podcast and the amount they read. Each took different strategies to choose their books. Jerrica going off of title and cover - not superficial at all. Lia chose based on description and reviews - a bit more professional approach. This sp…

This week Jerrica introduces the Golden Retriever Hero in all of his perfectly communicative and positive glory. Lia yawns. Jerrica swoons. The girls discuss the various books their reading and reference an article of mistakes female authors make for their male main characters. Which do you prefer? Jerrica’s Grumpy Sunshine Love Triangle or Lia’s R…

This week Lia and Jerrica identify what style of romance books they like to read most, and why it’s so different between them. Lia tricks Jerrica into reading a romance without a hea by saying it’s porn. Jerrica jumps all over it and afterwards had to google ‘how to get out of a book coma’ as a result. They laugh and joke over what book porn is and…

This weeks episode Jerrica and Lia read an emotional roller coaster of a book called One True Loves. The girls choose opposite sides of the love triangle and Jerrica, being the one who lost, can hardly control her outrage. While Lia is more concerned about the semantics of island life aka scurvy, Jerrica continues to complain about fade to later se…

This week Lia let’s our her inner f-bomb tigress while discussing A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Needless to say, the girls were not impressed. Jerrica implores everyone to watch the series instead staying on brand as it’s a spicier version of the same story. While the banter ramps up, try playing a drinking game - a shot for every tim…

We’re back reading lovers! This summer Jerrica and Lia took a little time off podcasting as Jerrica left the continent for family time, but they did not stop reading! They read separately though, so Lia decided to part from Jerrica’s cliterature obsession to more refined intellectual taste. Jerrica stuck with small town sleaze series and regrets no…

Special guest hosts for this episode are Olivia, Sky, and Ivy ages 11, 5, and 3 respectively. They tell me their favorite books and also a story.

This week Jerrica is on vacation so Lia invites Anita back to read a spooky book that Jerrica simply refused to read. The girl from the well by Rin Chupeco, a spooky story based in actual Japanese folklore. Both Lia and Anita loves it but agree that rooms full of dolls is just not right. Listen in and follow us for more hilarious book related posts…

Let the ranting begin!! This week Lia and Jerrica tie up their romance genre stint by recapping the tropes they’ve read. They get a bit lost in a time space continuum discussion, but get back on track in this time thread at least. Listen in to hear about their yes and hell no’s of rom! Listen in and follow us for more hilarious book related posts o…

Uh oh, they did it again. They book rec’d while wine’d up. Oops! This time it was not appreciated at all by Lia and she jumped into book two of a series that really needed to be read in sequence. Hook, line and sinker by Tessa Bailey. Jerrica has some making up to do. Lia hated it so much she’s off romance books for a while. Jerrica remains in book…

This week Jerrica and Lia celebrate their 69th episode by hiring an escort and asking him to teach them all the sex things. Oh wait, that was the main character, Stella in The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. Anyways they had a ton of fun living vicariously through this unique and super funny MC. They’ll hire Michael any day. Well he’s only available …

This week Lia and Jerrica read a debut novel narrated by Mary Poppins. Kidding. Love Songs for Sceptics by Christina Pishiris had Jerrica remaining a skeptic and mostly because she is a child and wants her narrators to do the voices. Lia is a perfect adult and enjoyed the story. We discuss second chances and friends to lovers tropes. Hint: rant com…

Lia and Jerrica get re-broken in this weeks episode concluding the duet from Emma Scott. First they lose their shit at the end of Full Tilt and then again at the beginning of All In. Why Emma Scott Why?! As the girls get borderline whiplash from healing and grieving, they discuss their enjoyment of the realness of the characters. Jerrica can’t seem…

This week Lia and Jerrica try to keep it together, and certainly fail, while discussing the devastatingly romantic story Full Tilt by Emma Scott. This book has all the feelings and is by far the most touching one of the year. The girls laugh, cry, complain, relate, and let their feels out in this episode. Get ready for the ride! Listen in and follo…

This week Lia and Jerrica completely disagree is this super loveable romcom Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese. Jerrica loved it and went on to read the rest of the series falling for this big beautiful family. While Lia got a juvenile vibe that she couldn’t shake, and Swedish reference mistakes that were too close to home to believe. No kilts presen…

In this weeks episode Jerrica and Lia have a blast talking about the book of the week, Rory in a Kilt by Anna Durand. The last of their wine induced reading choices, and one they won’t forget. Only after finishing, did they realize it was number 3 in a series and the male perspective of the original as well. The male mc was infuriating with his sex…

In this weeks episode Jerrica and Lia get ready to be melty while reviewing the book called Book Boyfriend by Claire Kingsley. Instead they rant. What can they say, not all boyfriends are good boyfriends. In fact, the have more duds in the past than the fmc. Wait of course they do because she has no past, or not one discussed anyways. Listen in to …

This week the girls go for a rock god book. But when the song plays- it’s more mediocre boy band and the heat fizzles quickly. Then the heat picks back up because this couple rocks!! Jerrica and Lia discuss their love for this book and author despite the not so great music. The girls daydream back to a time when they were serenaded and consider the…

This week Jerrica and Lia have to live with their wine induced decisions of reading three consecutive hilariously titled romance novels with abs as covers. Will they regret their decision in this weeks choice Faking It with #41? I think not! Listen in! Listen in and follow us for more hilarious book related posts on Twitter and Instagram. Pictures …

This week Lia and Jerrica choose another romance narrated by last weeks super narrator Erin Mallon. Though they quickly realize the narrator does not make a bad book better. Lia is extra disappointed as the male narrator gives her ptsd flashbacks from the After series. Jerrica is mostly confused when she realizes she’s read this book already! But n…

This week Jerrica and Lia are feeling romantic! They pour themselves a glass of wine or two and let all the feels out! They read Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren and swoon. Jerrica is already a fan of the authors and now a super fan of the narrator. It may be the wine, but Lia and Jerrica fight, cry, laugh, and after some agreeing to disagr…

Tinder is for reverse harem planning right? This week Lia and Jerrica decide they are 27, and living vicariously through their single friend- Jerrica hoping for a harem and Lia hoping for just one nice guy. To each her own. Yes we just brought equality to that dated saying. You’re welcome future. While they catch up on other topics, they also discu…

Lia and Jerrica bring on a guest reviewer who had many things to say about this weeks book The Mark of the Raven. Guest was none other than pod baby Raven Fae who spoke in Phoenix Dragon language- so brush up on it to understand her thoughts. Aside from our peeping bird, we enjoyed this weeks book even though Lia found continuity issues and Jerrica…

This week Jerrica is back and she brings a little bird with her! After finally finishing Court by Tracy Wolff, Lia questions why they were so excited about it in the first place. They have strong opinions about the main character and the narrator, as well as some other editing choices made by the team. If you contradict yourself enough does that ma…

This week Lia invites guest host Anita Van Der Merwe to talk all about Holly Black’s The Coldest Girl In Coldtown. Lia gets a bit overexcited and fangirls out completely requesting that Holly sends her her grocery lists to read for 5 star reviews. This is Anita’s first taste of Holly Black and she is not disappointed. They break the book down and g…

Lia has to host by herself as Jerrica takes a break to bring the first (and hopefully last) pod baby into this world. Welcome baby Raven. Birthing babies puts a damper on reading time and we give ourselves another week or two to finish Tracy Wolff’s Court, which is a brick of a book at 24 hours of audio. Next week Lia will host with guest Anita to …

Pleasantly by accident Lia and Jerrica read yet another debut novel, this time a fantasy they’ve been wanting to read for a while Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin. And it did not disappoint! In fact Jerrica’s jaw drops at the sight of Lia’s rating. A powerful debut with rich characters and never a dull moment. Oh and section education by a female…

This week Lia and Jerrica read yet another debut novel! And this time it’s funny and not a sad kind of funny as the years books have started out. No crying in this one either! We are upping the mood for February 2022. Possibly controversially they wonder what a virgin author’s section scenes would be like, and it prompts them to “go on the hunt” fo…

This week Jerrica and Lia have a blast reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. They discuss and agree the best gift ever is now leftover vodka and sliced purse cheese. They do something they’ve never done before- try not to immediately spoil it for you, and instead tell you to go away, read, and come back so we can laugh and gasp and giggle to…

This week the girls are at it again, and by 'it' they mean books about dying. Sounds morbid and yes, sometimes it was, but the book of the week Firekeeper's Daughter was epic nonetheless. And the Obamas production company picked up the book for a miniseries - if that alone doesn't want to make you read the book, we don't know what will! Jerrica and…

New Year-new you, or in Jerrica's case, an extra you, as her little one will arrive shortly. The girls find the silver lining in 2022, and the answer is books...and TLC! The pod revamps with more structure and organization, starting with Under the Whispering Door by T.J Klune. Lia finds a deep connection to the message of the book, and the characte…

It’s the end of the year! Lia and Jerrica are ready to give you all of their reviews of the best, worst, sexiest, and yuckiest. They decide on favorite covers and give honorable mentions to those that impressed them the most this year. They list their most anticipated books of 2022 and rant a little on how long is too long. Listen in and we’ll be b…
