(00:00):
I'm really still on this. I know I know but I feel like

(00:04):
I'll come back to it later. I need to pitch you an idea
Okay, we're gonna do it live on air. Um, have you seen?
Live for us. Have you seen the book stiff by Thea Mason?
It looks like that. No
Um good. That's great for me. Um, so it was better for me before I saw it. I know and I thought that I saw the cover

(00:30):
And I was like absolutely not but the premise is that the hero is from like the 13 or 14 hundreds
Okay, and he gets turned into a dildo
Okay by a witch because she was not pleased and he was only pleasing himself in all these encounters
He's had so he gets turned into a dildo for all of time right until someone yes, exactly

(00:51):
Until someone you're having a prop participant. Caroline is having a problem again again again. So is this guy?
he's also having a problem because he's just been a dildo for ages and
Like any fairy tale he has to get sucked off as a dildo to turn into a man
Yeah
So then the heroine does that she must be get into it one night and then she's got this

(01:16):
1400 year old man just pop up in your room
I thought to suck off a dildo
It's like a really interesting twist on
The princess and the frog. Yeah, exactly. And then um, she has to I think kind of make him into a good person
It could have been worse. She could have slashed the dildo and turned into a dildo herself that

(01:39):
That would have been a real uno reverse. What would they have done like sword fight?
Like I don't move. I don't know. I don't know. I had I've only his name is Lord Richard and obviously his nickname is dick
Sure, right
Um, and her name is Felicity stiff
And if you haven't seen the cover the eye and stiff is a dildo like a penis. So like sure I just

(02:02):
You know, I would never have looked at that cover and been like, ah, yes
This is the book, but it's only a hundred pages. And since he is a 1400 hero
A little bit of historical in there. I think it does. I think
Yes, but I know means I would accept this if it were time travel in the opposite direction I know

(02:24):
But I also think the Teresa Medeiros one qualifies because technically it's in the 90s. So
That also doesn't unfortunately historical, you know that it's but she's a Puritan witch and you go back to the Puritan times
He has a time travel back there, too
That's still not a but I think that would be a fun episode
We're not doing a whole episode on I think we should I think we should that is not a historical romance

(02:49):
But he is a 1400 year old
You can read it and include it in some TBR Tuesday roundup episode wanna read it alone that feels not like something I want to do
I feel like this needs to be a documented case. I mean you are welcome to document it. I just think

(03:10):
You need to be more enthusiastic about it. That's just what I'm saying right now
I'm so enthusiastic. I
Could not be more enthusiastic if I tried
Really? Yeah, I this is the extent of my enthusiasm
Well, she's uh, she is fairly vibrating over there. I mean i'm foaming at the mouth

(03:33):
She's feral
downright feral
I'll take it into consideration. I think you should I think if we ever need to like we if we don't know what to do
It's 100 pages
like
We won't forget it. It'll be memorable
I think it's a good idea to do it
Like we won't forget it. It'll be memorable

(03:57):
I have to assume and i've seen it's actually like very like like a good book like now. Yeah
Like it has good reviews
That doesn't mean anything and you know, I know but the people I trust are like reviewing it and are like
Why was this so good?
Hmm, so it has me intrigued. I have colored me intrigued

(04:17):
Okay
Yeah
So there's that if anyone wants a random book recommendation or book
Uh that I don't it's not recommendation because we haven't read it but like a book
Uh thing
Again, whatever that word it's so bold of you to assume that I know words at this point, right? I don't either

(04:40):
But yeah, I have no words
Just like literally
Just can't think of no words. Do you know how many emails I wrote today? So many emails
Lost track
And it took up all my words sucked them right out
Like uh, she sucked the dildo. Yeah. Yeah, she sucked him right out of that dildo

(05:02):
Like a vacuum just like all the emails that I wrote. Um
Welcome to romancer tbr
Hello, I'm your host or when you're not one of your hosts you get it co-host caroline and I am hannah
Getting a little fancy. Oh, yeah
And we
We we cross over we we

(05:24):
Bon appetit, uh are so sleepy. We are so sleepy
Yes, which is nothing new. No
No, it's not at this point. This is my brand
Mm-hmm. You know that vine that i'm gonna dig a nap. Yes
I once had somebody my freshman year of college who was assigning all of us like vines that she associated with us

(05:47):
She gave me that one because apparently every time she saw me I was saying that I needed to take that
I feel like if i'm in a situation and I don't know what to do I yawn
So then i'm like because it's like everyone's tired
Everyone couldn't relate to that. Yeah, you just yawn exactly
And then you're like, oh, I don't like you on on command. I just need a nap all the time

(06:10):
Yeah, specifically my freshman year of college. I needed naps constantly and that is very relatable apparently said so
Enough that somebody was like when I if I were to associate a vine with you I were to I I would I would choose that
I'm gonna dig a nap
I'm gonna take a nap right here
I was like honestly valid

(06:31):
Yeah
I did be napping still be napping
I don't really so much now. It's hard to do with a full-time job. It is
But that's why I nap at like six and that's a terrible time to nap
Yeah, that ruins my entire life when I do that. It's always an accident and it's always so weird like taste in your mouth
Yeah, it's not like

(06:51):
Bad bread. It's a weird. It's a weird taste and you don't want to eat anything because it just ruins it really ruins the vibe
Very weird. Mm-hmm. I really yeah
Um, like just convivial. I'll wake up. I know because I did it last night. I didn't even nap though
I just kind of like laid there with my eyes closed for like half an hour. Like I was awake. I kept checking my phone
But somehow yeah, I still had the weird taste afterward

(07:15):
I was like, why would you do this mouth?
Body what's wrong with you?
mouth body
Anyway, yeah, seven minutes and we said this was gonna be short then again, and I we said last episode would be short
That was funny listening back to it
That's like, okay look at us go

(07:36):
two hours
Talking has never been an issue for us
No, no, no
No, I had to cut out like one five minute segment because your audio your it was ringing there was making some weird noise. That's
disappointing so it got us down to below two hours. I was like wow, that's an accomplishment shout out to my
Janky headphones. They said this is simply too much. Yes. She's got a new cord

(08:01):
Yep. Yep. Hopefully it
I mean it still says participant caroline is having problems. I don't know why either. I'm I don't know. I'm not i'm plugged in hopefully
It's working. Yeah, I mean I can see the audio registering. Yeah
So well, I think it just hates you find it probably and I deserve it. I do know I think they updated
So it could just be a bug too

(08:23):
Oh
Yeah, anyway, we have said anyway and then
Hey, yeah, sure. We love digressing. Yeah, that's our brand. Um, it's author spotlight time
Why because
She deserves it. But also we just haven't read anything recently to talk about

(08:48):
unfortunate
But also fortunate because these are great books and you should read them. So true
What is even the series called I did not tell you yeah, um, we are we are spotlighting tiana quincy
Um because honestly her books live in our minds rent free just all the time constantly thinking about them
I just put in she like shared a quote the other day and I was like, oh, yeah that quote was so good

(09:13):
Clandestine affairs and then sirens and silk. Um
Which are the
Books of hers that we have read. Um, yes and also palestinian author writing palestinian characters in historical romance
um
We met her at steamy lit and not only is she just like a fantastic person to talk to she's so smart

(09:35):
Um, but seeing her on panels was really good
um
and I just
think I mean not only she was one of the first
I've said this before but like one of the first like
Bookstagram wrecks that I read and not really like a wreck
But like it was at the time that the first book in that clandestine affairs series was coming out when I started

(09:56):
And so I was like seeing it places and while I was like, whoa, that cover is really pretty
Um, and then she did like an interview with the cover model. So I watched that and then I think she followed me back
I was like, oh my god, i'm famous
Um, and then like I read her book. I was like, oh my god. It was so good. Like I just bought it
Uh from barnes noble. I think I was able to just like walk in and get it

(10:18):
Um, which the historical romance stock in my local barnes noble is notorious notoriously not great
So that was a win
um
And then she had yeah, and then she had recommended I think she was in that maybe interview with paul merrin or something else
maybe in igs stories
She recommended the bride and then the pearl

(10:42):
As two of her like foundational romances the pearl by mary balog and then the bride by joan ellenzy. No, yes
No, yes. No, it's not joan. It's
The which which what the bride julie garwood garwood. Yes. There we go. I'm always right never wrong. Um
Yeah, the bride by joanna lindsey you're always right, yep never have been wrong with my life, um, those were two

(11:07):
And I love you
Two like foundational romances. So I read those back when I was like a fresh baby
Um, and definitely preferred the bride and then obviously we did the episode on it
um
so it's just kind of cool to like see
where
Like that even journey just started for me like with her books and then just kept reading because then she like sent me

(11:30):
um
Some like swag for the next two books and that was fun and I was I felt very official
Yeah, I think the third one was my that's when she offered to send it to me
That lit with the with the swag and stuff and then I like went back and read the yeah
First two which you can do they're technically connected but yeah
It's not you know, some book series are like they're you can read them alone

(11:53):
But it's best if you do them in order these ones you really can kind of just read them in whatever order you want. They're
I can't it's like the
heroine of the first book
And I don't know the hero of the third one, I don't remember what the book's connection is
Yeah, I know I think she may just be like

(12:17):
They just may know her because she's the bonesetter. I think I again don't quote us something like there's a connection. Um
because then also the the um heroine of book three is also
Not related obviously because that would be weird and not what we want in a romance, but
She's also of arab descent. Um

(12:38):
You just kind of like find it a little bit later in the book. Yeah. Well because she is very like white british presenting. Yep. Um
Yeah, because the book one the heroine
Um, and then book two. It's also the heroine. She's a bonesetter and then book three. It's
You find out first. That's the heroine. Yes

(12:59):
Oh, uh
I love a man who is rumored to be mad and yeah, and maybe I don't know what did he murder some
No, it was his uh
I think you're thinking a book two is that's what yeah, I was thinking book two
He the third the hero in the look, we don't know anybody's names. The hero in the third book is uh,

(13:20):
Hannah, Hannah is the heroine's name of book two
Oh, yeah, wonder why I wonder why I know that. The hero in the third book is rumored to be mad because his father was rumored to be mad
Yeah, and I think he was just rumored to be mad
But it wasn't because he married an arab woman and like went off and left the house
And like went off and lived his best life. Yeah, I'm just like heated himself out of the ton

(13:40):
And so everybody was like, whoa
He's crazy. So you must I think look it's been a long time since we read these books. Yes. Well, I've
There are certain details that I remember about them or like certain plot points that really stuck with me
But other details escaped me. I've reread the marquis makes his move like a million times that one

(14:01):
I can yeah, it's so good. I can talk about it. I could probably quote it
Um, I think I read I think I reread book one when I was reading or getting ready to read book two
Um, because they're all like very different plots. So I think and they're very like plotty like book one
Um, she has like an affair
At an inn like a one-night stand basically and then leaves him and it's hot and stuff

(14:25):
Um, and then realizes that he's engaged to her
He's not engaged. He's about to become about to become engaged to her stepdaughter
And she married a much older man. Yep
The heroine not the stepdaughter. Yes
And so then and I I liked because wasn't it was it a did she have a good marriage? I think

(14:48):
Yeah, yeah, which is really nice. Like I you don't see that a lot
Normally the dead hero is not sexually skilled
And or the dead husband is not sexually skilled and also a bad person. So I like to know he was
I mean, I think it was like uh
Again, it's been a long time, especially since I read that book, but I think it was like not they weren't intimate
Yeah, I think it was a friend. He was he was friends with her father or something like that

(15:14):
Oh, i'm so sorry to anybody who's listening and is like, oh my god, you're getting all these details wrong
Um, I I know it was amicable. I know he was much older. Yeah, so it was
certain the
Is it the son? Yeah, his son doesn't like her. Yeah, but also wants to have sex with her. Yeah
Yeah, he's got some and then the the stepdaughter is

(15:35):
Just there to marry this guy, but maybe into somebody else. It's giving bridgerton season two, but if bridgerton season two is better
Yeah
The the yeah. Yeah, i'm gonna go with that. This was very angsty
Least favorite of the series. I loved it when I first read it
Um, because again like I didn't know what I really liked and like I didn't and I was like, oh my god

(15:58):
This was so sexy and everything and i'm like reading back
She's only gotten sexier. I think like with her writing and like with these books, um, and the series and then the book one of the
next series
um
Yeah, I think now just like from what I like I don't really like the forbidden
And how they kind of like interact or like went about it like he was very close

(16:22):
To he was just getting us go through with the betrothal and they take it farther than I would have liked. Yeah, and
He wasn't the one to break it off
Which I
Am not never a huge fan of when that happens because i'm like he would have done it like if this ex event wouldn't have happened
Like he would have just done it and i'm like, I mean I respect it but like I think it'll work for anybody

(16:45):
Who like doesn't want to love triangle doesn't mind again like the bridgerton's angsty
Angsty to like you're betrothed to the wrong person all of that. Um, but they're still like making out behind trees like sure
The drama is there. It's a very good intro
Um, yeah, I I don't think it was a bad book. I think it was just like not the kind of plot line that I prefer

(17:06):
um
but still worth reading
Yeah, and also she's a bad bitch. She's got like a big sword
Or a dagger or something. I'll I remember she had a sword or dagger and I was like, oh eat him up
Skewer him skewer him. Yes, if you want a super strong fmc

(17:29):
Yes
I wish I knew her name. Is it leila?
Yeah
Why do I know that maybe?
Maybe somebody's named leila. I feel like unless I just I think that's right
Delia delilah lila. I was close the lila because delilah
Uh lila and hunt. I was very close with leila. I give that to you. That's a point. Thank you. Thank you

(17:54):
That is a point
So yes, that's her night with the duke
Um, and then book two which I really liked
Um, yes, the third one I think is both of our favorite, but I did really like book two
Mm-hmm. Um, it was the vikant made me do it and again you said like they all have very different plots. This one's like
Uh a murder mystery basically like a murder was committed years ago and he basically was rumored to have murdered his parents. Yeah

(18:20):
um
and uh, he I can't remember is I think it's
like she's
Like wearing a necklace that is like somehow connected to his parents pull that up. You're right
Now it's sparking something in me. I I remember like very specific details about these books

(18:41):
I remember that this one starts with uh her like meeting these guys in a cafe. She's a bonesheader. Yeah, um
And I think it's like
She set one guy like she sets his
Wrist or something, you know some she breaks it
Well, she sets it first and then I think they won't I this is I could be very wrong

(19:02):
I remember like the loose structure of this. I think they like won't pay her or like say something to her
Yeah, so then she so she just breaks it again
Um, the hero is like he has to I think he has to step in. Um, yeah, because he's got he's got um
Either like a knee or like a shoulder arm
Injury that he needs to yeah, they yeah, that's yeah

(19:23):
And it's never fixed fix or like heal. I don't know if it's like chronic pain that he's been dealing with and yeah
I'm not sure what it was. Who knows? Um, probably that sounds correct. But then she is we are really just like
Pulling this out of our ass. Um, I remember like the movie of it
If that makes sense, I remember the drama of her

(19:46):
Rebreaking the bone she had just set like the emotions I was feeling right are still with me
Absolutely devoured because there's the desk scene because that's on the cover
um, and then he's got
he's like working on this board or something like at the hospital or something and then like
That kind of ties in to everything is a former soldier. Oh look at that description. I mean

(20:10):
Reading the description is a baller move. I was just looking at because I griff
And you said her name is hannah. Yes
um, but yeah, so they get sucked into like unraveling the mystery of his parents murder that he's been
accused of
From like many years ago when he was a child

(20:31):
Uh the drama I love a like murder mystery you do
I just love yeah, especially if it's the hero who is thought to have like committed murder on like
Something about it something about it
Uh, he receives a tip about his parents killer one that takes him straight to a beautiful bone cellar

(20:53):
Oh, and he's convinced she's a fraud. I forgot about that. Yeah, so then he's like
He's like if you can fit like heal me
Then i'll believe and then hannah has a gift for fixing fractured people
But can she also mend a broken heart and more importantly will griff let her spoiler alert?
He does um that one eats. Yeah bang in the uh

(21:17):
Like on an examination table
You're right or do something I don't know
How far um
I remember very little about the plot other than the beginning and I know who
Yes did it the the twist is I remember that which I will not say because this is a recommendation

(21:40):
And you have to find out for yourself if i'm being honest, probably it's very obvious. I think I figured it out very quickly
Yeah
But nevertheless
If you're like me, I mean, I think I still kind of figured it out
But if you're I am very obtuse so yeah relatable. I never figured things out before go over my head
But um

(22:01):
Um, that was a great one. I really liked that book
and also like the bonesetter and like
Yeah, why it was her and like her whole family backstory very very
interesting
Mm-hmm. She I just love like a doctor patient
moment

(22:21):
I love it not in current times. That's you know, but in historical romance
In the arts will dodge your context
It's I will eat up a patient doctor. Yes
Yes scenario. Mm-hmm
Yeah
Oh and then which brings us to our favorite
It's so good

(22:43):
Which we have to be careful what we say
About this one. That's so do we have an episode on this or did I dream that I know we have talked about it in
Various episodes. I do not remember whether we did who knows
Give me two seconds and I will look um
The mark but so we have to be careful about what we say because this one has a grand twist

(23:09):
Yes, a twist of epic proportions if I do say so myself
um
And so every time I recommend it i'm like she's married and he's posing as her footman
But if you don't like cheating don't worry. Yes, and people still like I've had some people be like
Yeah, I had to go read the spoilers to make sure and i'm like, that's fine
If you need that if you need to but just know that's not gonna be an issue for you

(23:32):
You're gonna actively advocate for cheating
Well, but even then you'll be okay. You'll be okay. I was like wow, whatever it was out the way
I'm not seeing an episode just on this. Wow. Okay. I made that up
I know we've talked about it in several like it's been in like taylor swift recommendation. Like yeah, like it's come up
I just really thought

(23:52):
I I mean unless maybe it's one that we just didn't post. I think maybe we thought we should do one on it
Maybe and didn't
Yeah, this is our lore guys
This I I really feel like it was in
either like a roundup or
Yeah
tbr or something

(24:13):
Something because we've done this
Talked about it quite a bit. Um
I mean unless it was just an early episode that I did. Oh was it
When we had the um
Aggressive kill mode
We talked about it there
I was looking through our old episodes the other day and I was like, ah yes
Aggressive kill mode um

(24:34):
Which we classified to be um
Sometimes the heroine just getting to do some
That must be one I didn't
Fun things
And she goes into a little bit
Of she has a moment that I think
She has a moment that I love in this book. I'm like, yes
Yeah, I love aggressive kill mode I had forgotten about that, um

(24:58):
So I'm serious, uh, anyway, so no, I don't think we have a whole episode on it. I know it has come up several times. Um
Beautiful so without getting too much into the plot
Just the premise
Is that the mad marquis who's the brother of lila I believe from the first book

(25:19):
Has had land stolen from him by some map maker some metal some map maker
Who drew the lines?
On the the the boundary between his estate wrong and gave more land including I think like part of the river
A very lucrative space that he right to his neighbor and he's like, um, fuck that guy

(25:40):
Fuck the map maker and also fuck the neighbor because they're they're beating
Yes, and so he goes undercover as a footman
I
Love that show this this gave me that trope kink like I had read. Yeah, I mean
There's a valerie baller series about all these noblemen disguised as as like as they should yeah footman like

(26:02):
Nothing hotter than a rich privileged man. Yeah
Serving you
I mean
I mean his one quote I love is a tent or hers is a tent to my needs. Um, but
I just love the yes, he does the drama that they think is dramatic, but it's actually not
Like it's a little bit maybe less so in this one

(26:24):
But like because I don't she's not like of the well, there is also just a lot of drama generally
Yes, she's not titled but like in a lot of books
Um, maybe the heroine or the heroine doesn't think that she can be with the hero or if it's vice versa because of the class difference
But there's actually not a class difference because in this case because yes buried. Yeah, um
And so I just like like this trope is just it

(26:46):
Creates drama in different ways. Sure, and I enjoy it every time sure
So he goes undercover as a footman
Um into the household of this very famous like very famous probably london's best known. I think yeah
cartographer
Um what she does not the word cartographer. I love that
It's a known word. I just forgot about it until you said it. I was like wow. That's a fancy name for it

(27:10):
It's just the name. Um
one of my the
I can't talk about that book because that's mp strike but uh
One one my favorite of a series that you also love. She's a cartographer
Uh-huh. Yes. Um
Anyway, what he does not know I think I would say it is
Wow, I i've only read each of them once though. Yeah, right. So I mean that was a great

(27:35):
I'm not like die hard on it. No, I mean that was a great book. Sure. Um
I think it really speaks to my tastes
You know, it really did it it just it did things that I didn't think it was gonna do and it just did them
That's so true. That's so true. Anyway, um, what he doesn't know going undercover to
Undermine this dude is that actually um

(27:56):
It's not him. It's his wife that he's posing as the cartographer for reasons
I think it's just yeah, it's having a moment. It's still going i'm just gonna roll with it. Okay
Uh, he podcasters are having a problem
He claims he you know, he is the public facing. I'm the cartographer. He inherited her father's shop

(28:19):
Which is kind of why she married him. It is because the father yeah, it was like a real
father knew and then she he was dying and he wanted her to be protected so that all happened right right right
Um, so now he like owns the shop and is the the name of it, but she's actually secretly
the cartographer and drama ensues from there and the plot twists

(28:43):
the way
That he took care of her in the bath the way that scene that I was
Rooting from the get-go for her to cheat on this man. Oh, only for almost all of my issues to be resolved. Yeah
The way that she goes aggressive kill mode. I believe yes, I think he might too actually
Yeah, it's beautiful all around like and I loved also just the staff at the house

(29:07):
Teaching him how to like there's like a quirky little like jack shit about how to be a footman
No, so then they're all trying to teach him. He's like, who are you? Like why are you doing this?
It's like why are you here? He's in this tiny little uniform clean shoes
Yeah, like he's in this tiny little uniform because he's huge sure and obviously they don't have anything big enough
So he's just kind of like tucked into it and she's like, whoa that those are some tight pants

(29:30):
And then he's like out in public in these tight pants and everyone's like, whoa sure because he also has to accompany her
Yeah, because then the husband is like you can be the personal footman for her and she's everyone's like why would you do that?
Like he's this virile attractive man. He's just like not worried about it
Yeah, and he attends to her needs. Boy does he. It's so good. Like I

(29:51):
It's really just the audio book is great
Wow, I adore that one
So good
My god these
I will say there's a slight content where he's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry
My god, these I will say there's a slight content warning in this one for pregnancy

(30:14):
Um, yeah, if that's not your thing just so you know, um, I don't think it was like a huge
I mean, yeah
but
It's not like a lost pregnancy or anything like that. Just like literally pregnancy
um
What a good series I know
I know what I could say also like the

(30:36):
the who's
The like really big family is it
I don't think it's is it his family, you know, the like really big arab family
I think that's his because I think he's I think I think he's lila's cousin. I don't think they're
Siblings. I thought I thought I thought like hannah was a cousin or something that may also again

(30:57):
We're not sure but there is a very large arab family and you get to know them over the course of three books because they're all
Interconnected and they are so there are fantastic. Yeah, there are several other characters
I think that could get books potentially maybe in this next coming series or whatever that we like met
In those, I don't know. I'm very excited

(31:17):
To just see because then the momentum just kept on going from this book straight to the duke gets desperate
Well, also the before we because that is true of that one also, but just like I think it's so fun whenever non white
People start writing historical romance and incorporating
Actual history that you don't normally see so like I mean felicia grossman is white but jewish and writing about like

(31:42):
The jewish community in these places in these times which like I feel like you never read about and so similarly the like
large arab population who are like merchants
Mm-hmm, but I
Mean, I don't think I have read another like middle eastern historical romance author
No, I mean diana quincy said she was asked at a panel. There was like a general question about like

(32:04):
Who have you looked up to or like something in your like whatever and then she's like, I it's me
Right. I am the category
Um, right because I mean omelie howard is another one who's like and both of them are folks who started out writing white characters
So like establishment, I mean, yep, because you have to
unfortunately, this is not a good thing but like

(32:24):
To establish yourselves a lot of times by pock authors in historical romance spaces have to write white characters
And now we're at a point in their careers where they can start like writing about people who look like them
And that's very exciting, especially because omelie's got such a mixed background and can like incorporate all kinds of different
I can't remember what the hero in the most recent one is but he's like

(32:49):
I have it in my review multiple different
Like from I want to say the caribbean
It's just so fascinating and exciting
And I mean both of them are just fantastic writers, right
In there like just just so good that great upgrade writers. Yeah, I'd recommend anything that they wrote but what um, he's

(33:11):
He's roots in trinidad and tobago. There's a trinidadian place down the street for me that i've been going to it's good and I
So number one, it's good number two
I knew it was good the first time I walked in because it's like
Cash only a lot of times depending on the time of day
There's like a line out the door because it's a tiny little score and also i'm almost always the only white person in there

(33:33):
So I walked in and it was just me and I was like, ah
All right, I yeah, this is good food
Um, I think it's it's actually like trinidadian style chinese or something
Trinidadian style chinese or some like weird fusion. I don't know. All I know is I just pick things and I don't ask questions

(33:56):
And they tell me what I want and they're always right
you know
Where he'll be like do you want this sauce or this sauce and i'm like, I actually don't think I need a sauce and he's like
You do this one is the sweet one. It's not spicy and i'm like, okay
I'm glad that you looked at my pasty white skin and knew that probably couldn't handle the spicy sauce. Thank you for that, sir
Um, and he was right. That sauce was delicious

(34:18):
Anyway, really good really good food, um
Back to the point at hand
I just loved that little side
Yes, like that big family and like all of the history of you know
How they got here from the levant?
and well and then there's even just like the history and culture that

(34:38):
she puts in the books that like it's not like
She does not have the responsibility to to oh my god to teach us about that. Like that's not her job
But the way that she writes
Inherently just like well it just like teaches it in and it's so interesting
Just like all of it because I mean I have just a really hard time in general looking at historical romance or like historical like

(34:59):
1800s to now and being like how they even operate like how was their ice like how did an icebox work?
I have a really hard time
Figuring out when light bulbs and like electricity and all that were like running water and just conceptualizing the fact that like
That could happen back then so it's just very cool to kind of see
And like in the duke it's desperate

(35:19):
Uh, like the alphabet like she has a scene where she like tells off
Um someone on the staff who just thinks um that he's better than her because he's white and she's like everything that you like
use in your day-to-day life like has roots
Has roots from the levant and like check yourself
Um, and it was a great when the duke gets desperate is fun too because we transition from this arab family in

(35:44):
England to now we're like in an american arab merchant family
Which is I mean similar. It's not like she's lecturing on you on history or anything like that
But just like the way that the history is all folded into the story. It's like, oh
This whole like
Culture that you just do not read about in historical romance, but like these people were there

(36:06):
um
I mean the book takes place in england, but she's from america, which is also fun because
I love a good
bold american
Heroine who the brits don't know what to do with their yes lily and lily and uh, what's her last name? Um
Why am I blanking daisy lillian?

(36:29):
Oh, oh man. I was like, I thought you were I was like what no lily and bowman. That's my my comp
She's a very lily and bowman esque character to me. Yeah, and she just was not afraid to
Tell that duke
To just shut up the fuck up and sit down

(36:51):
Yeah, it's such a good book
like it really like the hate to love
and just kind of like
I didn't really do give the comp of the fountain scene in the princess diaries every single time I talk about this book
Yeah
Number one because that was a formative scene from arguably one of the greatest movies

(37:11):
If not, they're the greatest movie of all time. It it formed so much of my romance. Oh, absolutely. Um
Taste yeah. Mm-hmm
I loathe you I loathe you I loathe you first. Yeah, those two are part like aphrodite no, not oh my god
Hey, they're in the prince
That's the one and this book and then one by um

(37:35):
Okay, well this is gonna have to turn into a whole other episode. Well, I I have what yes
Books that give princess diaries to you because I'm sure I could whip some out if I had some time
Yeah, okay. I'll save the other one that I have for that episode
And then we'll find more episode forthcoming
Yeah princess diaries to historical romance recommendation the royal engagement. Sorry. Let me give the full title give it its dues

(38:00):
I mean just the scene of course, I just exit out of it as as I was looking for the other one. Um, where
She's like, yeah, I literally multiple times
She's like I hate you and he's like I hate you and they like hate each other so much and then they're making out
And they're they hate it, but they hate how good
Yes, boy do I eat it up every time
Yes

(38:20):
This one there were a few things that just like didn't quite work for me where like
I could see potentially future books in this series. I think I I mean
I think I tend to like later books in series more than the first. Um, and so I
Very hopeful that like I will continue to like the series as it goes on more

(38:43):
Um again, not a bad book at all. I really enjoyed it
But just like there were a couple of things that were not perhaps my favorite
Yeah, I think I gave a four and a half of my first read but then I reread it via audio and honestly
I was like crying at the end. So whatever happened there I rounded it like it's just full fun
This one also has like a murder mystery element too
Mm-hmm
I wasn't because I mean I was rereading it and I didn't expect to get like that emotional

(39:07):
but then like
I because I guess I just kind of forgot the way that it ended like I knew the mystery element
I have kind of forgotten the ending
Yeah, but the way that he like falls in love and then what he does like after that and like after
She kind of realizes but has other things to do like it was just a very emotional thing and like the way that he like

(39:29):
Changed from the beginning. It was like a very drastic change for him because he was a bit of a dick
I mean, he thought he was getting this inheritance once it went to his father's second wife or whatever, which is her cousin
And then when she died, which is why
she
Comes to this castle, whatever

(39:50):
He thinks that he's getting it and then the cousin left it to the heroine. And so he's like what the hell big
Knives out vibes. Yeah, because he
Didn't murder anybody because he got the surrounding land and then she got the cow
I had to like work together and create like an enterprise to like keep the land afloat because you can't have

(40:10):
The castle English ways. Yeah, like you're an idiot. Yeah, and I'm a businesswoman
And I'm gonna get your yeah, lasso put back another super strong heroine
Who like does not have any compunction about like telling like anyone off if they're just being an ass
I just

(40:31):
Love it
And I mean was he
There's a scene where he has like no money
He would have loved to just like buy her out of this and he couldn't because he didn't have any money
And yeah, he's kind of bad at it because at one point he buys her this like huge ass floral arrangement
Like he gets all these purple flowers planted because that's her favorite color, which hot but i'm like also so

(40:54):
You have no money this cost you so much
But he had to riz her up he did and it worked and I think they they had sex on or around
The flowers, yeah
so
Oh
Worth it, you know worth it

(41:17):
Oh
I just can't wait to see what's I don't even know what book two is gonna be like I have no it hasn't there's no like listing
Yeah, like I don't think we got like a spoiler like a teaser of it
But best believe I will be there
When well, yes
When it is announced

(41:39):
Indeed
I'm just like looking at my review of like all the things I wrote that he did and that she did and I'm just like yes
Yes, uh
Wow, I'm so relatable
Yes, I and just I love a good castle moment got to give it to the castle

(42:00):
Gotta give it to him. Yeah, love a castle
Uh-huh
A lot of things happening castles. I mean that's they like locked accidentally locked themselves in a cellar at one point
That was fun. So they have to pretend to be engaged. Did they accidentally lock themselves in a cellar?
Did somebody else I think someone did it they think it's an accident
Okay, and then they get drunk or she gets drunk at least because she's like angry at him and just drinking all the

(42:26):
Like water whatever in the cellar and then obviously they're compromised for the staff
so like
He's like, okay. Why don't we just pretend?
That we're engaged because then she's got like this hilarious
Grandmother. Yeah, who's like with her just doesn't she like?
I love tend not to speak english. Yeah

(42:47):
And just like says the wildest
Shit in arabic
And she hates the hero one also the thing about like arabic curses is that they are so
Much more intense than english curses. Mm-hmm
And i'm gonna have to go back into it to finding say that's like one of my favorite I I love

(43:07):
When arab people are like listen to that, you know, like
This insane cur they like is like a very casual like they throw them into conversation where we would say like oh screw you
Or something and instead it's something insane
Which i'm gonna I mean insane in a delightful way. Um
Oh, i'm never gonna be able to

(43:28):
Like just find an example of something that she said
But I I feel like I need to give an example of the things that this woman was saying
About people yeah, I can't pull any out. I just know like her character
Yeah, I just like know
Why is this female donkey waking us up

(43:51):
About the housekeeper
She was a female donkey so true so true. However
I
I live in stopped am I?
I don't know what it is
it's just
Maybe i've ever seen

(44:15):
Oh my god
Franz国 stirges
Is false
I
Ugh, I'm not gonna be able to find one.
And that hurts me.

(44:35):
Devastating.
What? Let me...
I mean, I probably highlighted like half this book.
I did not, is the problem.
Is the problem.
What's that?
Dook, cat,
disparate.
I was like reading this book on a hammock
outside. Wow, what a scene.
And then I fell off the hammock. That was fun

(44:57):
for me. That hurt.
That hurt a lot.
And I don't know if anyone in the neighborhood saw cause I was like home alone.
Oh no. Yeah, it's like
that moment where you just wish someone saw so you could like laugh about it.
I just kind of laid there for a little bit.
Yeah, that hurt.
Um...
I got scars.
I don't.
Maybe I do.

(45:19):
Where are my highlights? God, he just is so angry that he loves her.
Damnation, how could he want to screw someone so thoroughly disagreeable?
So true and so relatable.
The she-dragon stirred his basis instincts.

(45:41):
Yeah.
Like they both just hated that they were so attracted to each other, which was just the best.
Like all these scenes, like they have several scenes of them just being like,
you're so disgusting.
Get inside me.
You're so disgusting.
Get inside me.
I do love any relationship like that.

(46:07):
Yeah.
You are disgusting.
Well, literally like his whole thing, I wrote in my review so I could, this is the thing that happened.
Like all he, like I was like, his idea of flirting is either buying her things or telling her that he wants to be inside of her.
And that's valid.
Even though he doesn't have any money.
So, okay.
Now he does.

(46:29):
Mainly she just refers to people as donkeys.
I respect that.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't, I just love her drunk scene too.
I love a drunk scene in historical romance.
Because normally like the heroines either haven't imbibed or like don't often.
So that's a very fun interaction.
Fighting all day and fucking all night wasn't the worst future.

(46:59):
I mean that's the vibe.
Don't ever doubt your potent effect on me.
Don't do it.
Yeah, this man, I think this man cries.
That was hot.
He was down real bad.
Like once he was down, he was six feet under.

(47:21):
He was not doing well.
Well, that's true.
He was not doing well.
No, it got me.
Like that reread, I just, because I think when my first initial read I was like really scared to see what was going to happen and like how the third act was going to go.
But then on my reread I was just like taking it in and I took it in.
I'm happy for you.

(47:43):
Thank you.
I really am.
Thank you.
Yeah, I don't think I focused on the insult.
I really think I focused on the sex.
That's...
With my highlights.
That is deeply valid.
All I ever wanted was to be nice to her and to surround her with the nicest things.
He's so sweet.

(48:05):
Oh my god, I was trying to remember.
I was like, did I include this one in my like historical romance recommendations based on Formula One drivers?
I did not.
I did include the first one in the Clandestine Affairs series.
I did include her Night with the Duke as a recommendation if your favorite driver is Pierre Gasly, which most of you probably won't know why that's funny, but I think it's funny.

(48:33):
It's just the fuckboy of it all, really, is what it is.
I'm just like lost in these highlights.
They just keep going, guys.
There's just a lot happening.
I get that.
There's still no insults at this point.
He's like, I'm done insulting you.
I will just be inside of you.

(48:56):
It's okay.
Just know that the aunt is amazing.
Yes, she is.
Well, they just keep going.
Okay.
Yeah, just read this book because what I'm seeing here, there's a lot.
So, wow, just keeps coming.

(49:20):
Don't stop coming.
Hey, now Shrek.
And that's how we do it. The first Shrek reference of the season.
I'm kind of surprised it took this long.
I know.
I have to do better.
Be better.
I've started my new Bumble opener, which, to be honest, the guys have not impressed with their responses thus far, but I'm going to keep using it because I think it's funny.

(49:50):
My new Bumble opener is, fuck, Mary, kill, Prince Charming, Shrek, Lord Farquaad.
Good.
I think it's a good gauge.
I think, especially whatever their reasoning is.
You know, it rules out the weird guys with internalized homophobia right away because I had some guy be like, you gave me all dudes with like a crying emoji and I just immediately unmatched because I was like, you can't hypothetically fuck a fictional character.

(50:18):
Sorry. Well, hang on.
The only correct answer is fucking Prince Charming and marrying Shrek.
Okay, well, marrying implies.
Not in this game it doesn't.
Okay, I guess.
It's a very chaste marriage.
Well, maybe not. I don't know.
I don't know. It depends on what your rules for fuck, Mary, kill are.
The point is that's the correct answer.

(50:40):
I'm willing to hear other arguments, but I have yet to hear a good enough one.
Well, I think if anyone doesn't kill Lord Farquaad, they need to be reported.
I did have one guy say, at least Lord Farquaad would be shorter than him.
So that's why they would fuck him.
And I was like, points for reasoning, I guess.

(51:01):
That's funny.
Anyway.
Yeah, well that was.
I think we did it.
We did.
I think we kept it under an hour.
Which is crazy for us.
I'm very proud.
And I just want to let everyone know that this participant, Caroline, is having a problem is consistently popping up.
Fantastic.

(51:22):
Second after second.
I'm really hoping we don't stop this recording and then have you go, oh no.
Well, either the only thing, like it may be the same audio quality as last week, which then I don't care.
I see all your audio coming in, so it's going to be recorded.
I just don't know what the issue that it's saying.
I don't know.
They get longer.
Like it's giving me like a longer alert.
Like what is its issue?

(51:44):
It's really worried about me.
It is.
It is.
Participant Caroline.
Caroline is really having a hard time.
Yeah.
And it just keeps coming.
Don't stop coming.
Yep.
So.
True.
I saw that there's an update coming to Apple podcasts that's going to give you transcripts.

(52:06):
So that's fun.
So stay tuned for that whenever it happens.
We had to just like accept the terms and we did.
So whenever that rolls out.
And now in Apple, you can have like singular episode art, which you couldn't before.
Which is really nice because like all the different episodes and stuff like old school school.

(52:29):
That just makes me happy.
I feel like it won't be long until Spotify gets transcripts because they were they had the chapters and so does Apple now.
But like it's just very makes me.
I like it a lot.
I love it.
I want some more of it.

(52:51):
Sign up if you haven't for the bracelet.
Are we planning on getting that?
I mean, I haven't started.
I was going to.
This is what we're just included.
Yeah.
It's your last day to do it is.
Today, do it today.
So now if you sign up after, we'll just send it to you sometime.

(53:15):
Yeah.
Why not?
Yeah.
I like Valentine's themed.
Yeah.
Later.
We'll just keep that sheet up.
Yep.
Yeah, we'll be sending out the cards and the bracelets and no money and no money.
We don't know why anyone would have thought they were receiving money.

(53:37):
Just I can't talk.
My speech impediment is showing.
I feel like I have a minor one.
There are some words I just simply can't say.
Like bagel.
Well, that's different.
Like it's a lot of like are like I would consider a minimum.
I would consider a Midwestern accent to be a speech impediment.
I couldn't even finish that sentence.

(54:00):
I would consider a Midwestern accent to be a speech impediment.
I always forget what words I can say and then when I have to say them, I can't do it.
But it's like the way my tongue works when there's like two are like W like next to each other.
Like it just doesn't.
And it's never worked.
And.
And I chose to have a podcast.

(54:21):
I just thought I would have to do it.
It's just like it's not my thing.
I just.
I think I know it's not my thing.
It's just like I might be so.
Taking you all with me on this journey.
That's so true and relatable.
My Formula One update for today.
I have committed to just.
You have three minutes.
Okay.
My Formula One update is that I read a book.
That is.
Listen, was it the best thing I've ever read?

(54:42):
No, I didn't love it.
is a big F1 fan, wrote Her Dangerous Tides, you know, that kickstarter with all the different
authors who were writing like paranormal pirate related fantasy type romance.
Oh yeah.
Hers is called To Win a Witch's Heart or something.
I think it's To Win a Witch's Heart.
And it is very clearly, she wasn't even trying to hide it, F1 fan fiction.

(55:05):
About the hero is Lewis Hamilton and the villain is Max Verstappen.
They are racing.
Poor Max.
Whatever.
They are racing pirates.
They like race in alternate dimensions because it's a weird universe with multiple dimensions
and stuff.
And the heroine is a witch who is going to be like all powerful but can't harness her
powers and she's been rescued from being burned at the stake but ultimately kidnapped

(55:29):
by the Dutchman, who is the Max Verstappen character.
He's Dutch if you didn't know.
The Dutchman whose ship is the Scarlet Cow.
The Dutchman on the Scarlet Cow kidnaps her and she is rescued by the Hammer.
And if you didn't know Lewis Hamilton, it's Hammer Time is like a Lewis Hamilton thing

(55:55):
that they would say when he was going to win things.
I didn't know.
Yeah.
So the Hammer, Sir Xavier, but the Hammer, who is a Knight of the Realm turned pirate,
uses her as he's historical, but it's yes, she's in like historical England that she
is rescued from being burned at the stake.
But also there's other dimensions and also they it's these like it's like post pirate

(56:16):
war every year.
They hold a world championship of these regattas where they race their ships.
Whoa.
And last year, the Dutchman via nefarious means won the world championship away from
the Hammer, who is the winningest pirate of all time.
And so now he's back to take his revenge and also steal the witch that the Dutchman was

(56:39):
trying to use to cheat.
And it is so unserious.
Was it good?
No.
Did I have a great time?
Yes.
That's my Formula One update.
It was so unserious.
Amazing.
What happened?
What was the what's your bone to pick with the people at Thingy?

(56:59):
I've got five seconds to spare.
It was just poorly organized and they didn't appropriately advertise that it was going
to be capped at 120 people.
I knew that because I had seen the website, but I was thinking like maybe there are so
many people they might just like come out and see the people who didn't make it in or
give us something that was signed or, you know, something.
But instead, but it turns out a lot of people had been there and waiting in the cold for

(57:23):
hours who saw it on Twitter.
And apparently on Twitter, it didn't say anything about the 120 person cap.
According to them, I didn't look at the tweet, so I can't say that for sure.
But a lot of people I talked to didn't know that it was going to be capped.
And so they waited thinking they might get in for hours.
And they didn't tell.
I mean, the line opened at five.
People had already been there since like noon, which is crazy because also I didn't.

(57:48):
I was able to go into the store because you could go into the shop.
OK, so we just like went in and saw them from a distance.
But like we couldn't get in.
OK, I see.
But the thing it was like cold.
And number one, if you tell me the line opens at five, I'm thinking you're not letting people
line up until five.
And it turns out that wasn't the case at all.
People had been there since noon.

(58:08):
So the line was already blocks long when I got there at like 445.
And then the event was at seven and then not everybody got in.
And also they didn't bother saying like, hey, go home.
Like we're not going to give you anything or like let any other people in or anything
like that until probably like 730.
I mean, I think a little bit earlier, somebody was like, you're probably not going to get

(58:28):
it like I don't know why you guys are waiting.
But we were all like, maybe they will try to like squeeze in extra people.
Maybe you know.
There will be some.
But no.
And then they got really mean, which isn't Williams fault.
I don't know who the like.
Security guard or like, you know, the guy who was out there managing stuff was.

(58:49):
But he was like very nasty to people at the end.
It was scary.
We're like, it was that Renee rap clip talking about, you know, the tour bus.
Because it was like seven thirty and they started yelling basically like, go home.
And we were like, OK, that was a lot.
But then so I had already been in the store because you were allowed to go in and shop

(59:10):
in the store.
And so I was going to like pop back in real quick.
But I mean, it wasn't me.
It was other people who were trying to go into the store and he was like getting in
their face and yelling at them like nobody else is going in.
And they were like, I'm not going.
I'm like, I'm not in line.
I'm just trying to go in the store.
And he was like, nobody else is going in.
And they were like, the store doesn't close until eight.
And he was like, no, like yelling at them in their face.

(59:30):
It was crazy.
She's like, I want to buy a hat.
And he like wouldn't let her in.
So I don't know who that guy was, though.
I don't know if he was like a store employee or like Williams secure.
I don't know.
But it was, I think, poorly planned.
I think having a one.
I understand you can only have so many people at a free like signing event like this.
But I think having that one twenty cap.

(59:51):
They should have done it.
I know, like Taylor Swift for like one of her.
It was like a Spotify like meetup.
Like she wasn't there, but you would enter your email and then you would get an email
if you were able to do it.
And then you you were only able to go.
And then obviously you're not going to be able to line up like if you either don't have
the email or whatever, so that you already know that you don't have to.

(01:00:14):
Yeah, that would be I expected them to not allow us to line up until five, which I can
understand, like I don't people would line up nearby or is not like or it would be a
mob.
Yeah.
But some kind of mitigation there or alternatively, because it wasn't like a crazy number of people,
but it was like I would say probably two, three hundred something like that.

(01:00:35):
Like it was a long line.
I think if I had been the organizer, understanding like these drivers cannot stand here and talk
to people for hours and hours like we do have to have some kind of cap.
But I think just having like signed like they, you know, driver cards, like the autograph,
like having those to give that to.
Yeah.
To be like, hey, sorry, you couldn't get in.
Thanks for coming out here.
Something.
Yeah.

(01:00:56):
Right.
Like or something.
It just was very strange to me that you would just be like, ah, sucks.
You waited out here in the cold for hours and we're like posting about how long the line
is on socials.
But it would be mad and sad.
Yeah.
I mean, to a certain extent, they did say, yeah, you're not getting in if you're past
the one.
So but it was still like nothing.

(01:01:17):
You're not going to or even like have the drivers kind of like walk out and walk down
the line and just like even let people take pictures or something, you know, like not
a meet and greet, but just like something.
No, no, no, something.
Which I think is crazy in New York City to be like, yeah, one 20 person cap and nothing
else.
You know?
Well, yeah.

(01:01:37):
I mean, if you're going to enforce that, then it should be something where you know in advance.
Right.
So that people don't come.
There was a girl in the line behind me.
Yeah, it's incredibly traffic and all that.
There was one from Philadelphia.
What?
Yeah.
And I was like, damn, like you're not getting in.
Like the line was already blocks long by the time I got there.
Yeah.
So that's my beef with the Williams.
Also, they hosted it at the Puma store.

(01:01:59):
And I understand they have contracts with Puma.
There's a sponsor.
But Puma is on the BDS boycott list.
So I I purposely did not buy anything or like try to like I tried to take pictures, but
avoided any kind of like Puma promo or anything like that.

(01:02:19):
But I did want to try to meet the drivers and I did not because of poor planning, I
think.
Yeah.
So that is my beef with the Williams event organizers.
However, I do still love those drivers.
I'm fucking scared of them.
The Williams guy bullying people.
Yes.
And that's that.
That, yeah, that's my Antoine update.

(01:02:44):
Hannah won't let me turn this into a Formula One podcast.
I told her that she just has to consistently keep reading these books and bring them up.
Yeah, I'm just going to keep giving updates in the podcast.
That'll be my closing segment.
Yes.
Yes.
And with that, we're going to vroom vroom off into the some some set.

(01:03:04):
And the some set, the checkered flag falls.
Checkered flag falls on this Radiator Springs episode.
Yep.
That's us.
OK, have a great day.
And who knows what we're going to be talking about next week.

(01:03:25):
Who knows truly?
Like popping up on us, creeping up.
It's like, oh my God, it's Wednesday.
You have to record.
So no plans.
No roadmaps.
Only cars, fast cars.
I got a fast car.
You got a fast car.
OK, Tracy.

(01:03:46):
Vroom vroom.
Vroom vroom.
Ka-chow!
Maybe that's how I'll sign off everyone.
Please.
OK.
Ka-chow for now, folks.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's how I sign my emails.
Yeah.
Three, two.
Wait, ka-chow or ka-chow for now?
What's happening?
I don't know.
I was saying you're going to do it.
I'm just counting you down.
Oh, OK.
Whatever strikes first.
I'm just counting you down.

(01:04:07):
Oh, OK.
Whatever strikes your mood.
Oh, God.
Three, two, one.
Ka-chow for now.
I hated that so much.
Keeping it.
Keeping it.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.

(01:04:28):
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
