Interview with Devyn Sinclair & Terreece M. Clarke

I was so lucky to meet these two at the Smut Lovers conference in September. While the conference was an amazing personal experience, I’m so glad I get to bring these two authors to you! They themselves met at a conference back in Apri...

In this episode Sephie and I talk about the dangers of parasocial relationships. I explain why I feel alone in treating everyone I interact with on the internet as a human in front of me. And why I believe with my whole heart that it's a feature and not a bug.

There's a lot of discourse around romance novels. In this episode, we talk about what is an isn't appropriate discourse. Where we should and shouldn't engage authors. And what should stay in the group chat.

As much as I felt I learned about book cons at the end of 2024, it was something else seeing how I felt after attending this conference for the second time.

Sephie and I discuss how women are now able to fantasize about whatever they want in life. Our recent independence, remember that women couldn't have a bank account less than 100 years ago, has freed our imaginations. Romance novels celebrate all of that.

It's a kick in the face when an author we've trusted with our time, energy, and love shows themselves to be...not who we thought they were.

How do we handle our emotions? How do we handle their art? What do we do with the books?

This month had a bunch of different reading agendas: ARCs, long books, TRR, and all my regular reading. I feel like I had a lot of wins, and a few books that were not for me.
