Mike & Jess B Davies of the Femme On Collective joins Mike to talk about smutty romantasy, abroad weddings and getting out of a “reading rut”!
In more detail, the duo’s conversation starts with Jess’ involvement in the Femme On Collective, before delving into their love of reading and processing hard times & grief. They then discuss “Romantasy”, including ACOTAR & Fourth Wing and Jess “Being In Her Thirsties” with her podcasts Literature For Life (Femme On) and The Romantasy Coven and reading ruts. Towards the end, Jess asks Mike about his Vegas wedding with Megan and they discuss the benefits of abroad weddings!
This is the perfect conversation for any avid readers, or people who want to get back into reading, and anyone interested by non-traditional weddings!
