OK so for this book I have to agree with some of our Facebook followers and say that the cover plus the title does now unfortunately make me think of golden showers. When I was in college, my friends used to have this joke for me where if I wanted something sweet they would point... Continue Reading →

Ep. 31: The Cinnamon Roll Soldier
I’m very glad that I happened to get this book for my first LGBTQIA+ novel because it was actually a healthy relationship between two men. Media is still so heteronormative, and because of that I think that it’s really really important to demonstrate what a healthy homosexual relationship looks like. Rachel and I have talked...

Ep. 30: Low Expectations
“Hello Disney? I have the idea for the next big Marvel movie….hear me out...” I don’t understand this man’s obsession with not wearing a shirt. I mean if you got it flaunt it I guess?

Ep 28: The Billionaire Philanthropist and the Sea
I feel like in writing these show notes, for the first time it just makes me sad. Because, simply put, it’s not a romance.

Ep. 24: For Whom the Cinnamon Rolls
Hey everyone, Margie here. I absolutely loved listening to this recording because I got to relive those moments of “OMG he’s PERFECT PLEASE LOVE ME,” And Gabriel isn’t perfect because he’s this impenetrable wall of toxic masculinity. No, he actually IS vulnerable, encourages Bitsy-I mean Charlotte-to be vulnerable around him, and in general helps his... Continue Reading →
