Episode 42 we took a look back at how much, and what type of reading we did in 2025. Did we meet our goals? You'll have the listen to find out!

We also explain a purposeful slowing and restructuring of the podcast. So if you are ready for us to branch out a bit from the romance format - you're in luck! We have one more typical book to start with, since we already prepped it, and then we are starting our year of variety and quality!

Stay tuned for our next book, Duke it Out by Bella James

Listen to episode 36 to hear Lauren to tell a dirty joke!!! But also, listen for The Americana Playbook by Cathryn Carter - a sports romance fit for this fall season!

It's got New England coastal vibes, some deeper themes, but also all the great things we like in a sports romance - plus T Swift references!
