Welcome back WITS listeners! Join Elle and Kay as we discuss Rake by Nicole Parker.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙.5
More discussion on censorship starts off our smutverse news this week. For the PEN America efforts to stop book bans, use this link here. We were hopeful that by reading book 1 in the Kyleverse that we would have more information to fill in some gaps from Wrapped that we had read last year... we were wrong. The word rake sho...
Welcome back WITS listeners!! This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Rubber Duckie Shifter Next Door by Mia Harlan.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
This week, we start with a very hot topic discussion of whether or not an author should be allowed to replace their book to change from open door to closed door romance, and a much bigger question of do we ever own digital media. We discuss how we love some plot in our smut, but the back story o...
Welcome back WITS Listeners. This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss French Horny by Nora Noodle.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
Finally, there's good news in the smutverse! C.M. Nascosta is getting a traditional publishing deal! We can't wait to pre-order Morning Glory Milking Farm in all its trad-published glory. In our book this week, we've been given a different twist to sentient objects, where the FMC sort of brings the sentient obje...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Scrub Me Daddy by April Showers.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙.5
After a week off, we start off discussing the Wicker trailer. Late to the game, but still ready to find our people when we go to see it in theaters this fall. This week's book starts, truly, with more of Elle's triggers- utilizing a germ filled sponge to... well, you know. Kay points out that you really need...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Tumbled by Skye and Philomena MacKinnon.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week, we're feeling a bit despondent regarding AI news coming from the smutverse. Our book, however, gave some sweet romance vibes in an outrageous sentient object package. We discuss the best chances for success in getting out of the laundromat in a reasonable timeframe, and how a pissy mood can...
Welcome back WITS listeners!!
This week, join us as we discuss "My Hotdog Came to Life and Screwed Me" by Sky Corgan.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week has more AI smutverse news, from which Kay is still a little unclear how a company can pay out billions of dollars and not go bankrupt. Our book this week was all Elle's fault, though she's going to blame this one on Vera Valentine for having it on her website. The hotdog stand owner rem...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Legendairy Role Play by Rosemary Bunny.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙.5
Kay knew within the first sentence of this book that Elle was not going to be on board with the story line. To be fair, we knew there was going to be whipped cream, but the hucow role play really threw us off. We discuss whether or not this takes on the task of trying to be a "how to" for the life...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Light Me Up by Sabrina Cross.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙
We start off this week discussing yet another AI lawsuit. The lines continue to get fuzzier and Kay really just doesn't want to end up like the people from Wall-E. This week's book combines sentient objects, a little electro-play, and a miscommunication trope that makes us feel bad for the lamp. An appearance ...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer by Krista LaRae.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
We start off this week by realizing that we accidentally participate in the Haters Book club thats been trending on social media. In this weeks book, we're slightly confused why the MMC (monster main character?) is German, and why the MMC isn't her boss. Both Kay and Elle related to the FMC be...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Elle and Kay found their inner artists with Filthy Strokes by Laura Victoria.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
Elle stumbled upon some messy booksta-drama somewhere in the rabbit hole of Threads, and we discuss the difference between airing dirty laundry for your followers, and followers understanding when creatives deserve their privacy (spoiler: authors deserve to have private lives, despite how much yo...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss Gage by Imogen Knowed.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
We start off firmly in the camp that its ok to look up words while you're reading, in fact, we encourage it. We do not encourage authors to write at a lower reading level for those who do not wish to do so. In this week's book, we're faced with the question- curse or gift? Whichever side you land on... are you trying ...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Elle and Kay were lucky enough to get an ARC of That One Time with the Lemon Drop by Alex LaBruyere.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙 (non-con elements)
A lot has changed in Elle's life in the past few weeks, she's a married lady now, she chopped off all of her hair, and she moved. She's not too busy to get mad about another article shit-talking romance books though. We talk healing in relationships, a...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as they discuss Bedding the Bedding by Annara Layne.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week in the smutverse we discuss how Chat GPT is getting more use than many nonfiction books. Our book this week, definitely not nonfiction, leaves the sentient object in its object form. Elle thinks it's a love letter to single women, Kay still wishes it would turn into a person. The main character...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Kay and Elle discuss Cirrus About You by Latrexa Nova.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙
This week we start off with, much to Kay's dismay, more not-so-good news from the smut verse. Specifically, how AI is continuing to be a thorn in the side for authors and readers alike, and is now being used as a method of getting authors cancelled. For our book this week, we loved the non-binary and demisexual repres...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss My Date with Bubble Tea by Sylvia Morrow
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
Elle finally has some good news from the Smutverse, and Kay is thrilled (she's been asking for some good news for weeks now)! The book this week had us asking what size Boba Tea cup would be appropriate- surely the size of a full grown man would be too big, but a regular cup is too small for that... ne...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, Kay and Elle discuss Fully Charged by Nicole Parker and Unfortunate Reads
WITS Smut Scale:
Kay is desperate for some good news in the smut verse, and today comes with a bad review that seems to give us some good reading potential. As promised, the link to Strange Familiars can be found here. Kay has already downloaded it, and added it to her TBR. We discuss if Elle is still in the stone age usin...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we discuss Knotted by the Beast by Siena Stone
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙
Elle thinks that the bookish community needs to take a deep breath and maybe take a break to go outside for a timeout based on the smutverse news. We discuss how the Beast's first mistake in this book was letting Belle's father leave, when he really has no way of enforcing his punishment for stealing the...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Romancing the Rat by G.M. Fairy.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙
We're back after a much needed week long break! Smutverse news has us upset that people can't just scroll on (whether on the internet or in real life) and leave authors alone with their bad opinions. In this week's book, we get into a bit of a back and forth about our smut scale, but decide that the fact ...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
This week, join Elle and Kay as we discuss Pounded In The Butt By My Handsome Sentient Library Card Who Seems Otherworldly But In Reality Is Just A Natural Part Of The Priceless Resources Our Library System Provides by Chuck Tingle. (Yes, thats the full title)
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
We start off this week with a reminder that we must hold on to both our rage and our whimsy in the wake of the current hellsca...
Welcome back WITS listeners!
Join Elle and Kay this week as we celebrate Earth Day this week with Earthed by Holly Wilde.
WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙
This week, the ladies swoon over everything Artemis II, which is the perfect lead in to an out of this world book. Kay learned a little about dark matter (maybe), and Holly Wilde has us questioning if the Earth is, in fact, phallic in shape. Take that flat-Earthers. Everyone in the Wilde world...
