Pages and Prejudice

Pages and Prejudice

Join two lifelong romance enthusiasts, and professional haters, as we dive deep into the world of trending romances. From swoon-worthy moments to cringe-worthy clichés, we dissect the tropes, tea, and taboos of Romancelandia, BookTok, and beyond. No trope is off-limits as we explore why we love, hate, and love to hate the stories that captivate us. Tune in for all the tea on love, lust, and everything in between!

One time, my therapist told me to ask myself, “Do you know why you’re angry, or do you just think that you should be.” And I took that personally.

Hater’s Anthem by Infinity Song

I love the way it feels to be a hater

Something so sweet about thinking that I'm better

Just to wake up every morning

Lay in bed and somehow never, ever rise to the occasion

And it tells me I'm superior

I could probably go a lifetime
