Don't know about you, but we're feeling '22 '23.

It is that time of year, when we reflect on the past and don shades to look into our bright, bright future. Is a year-in-review cliche? YES! But it isn't like we're doing a clip show or anything. These are FRESH and HOT takes, not just on the books, but romance culture and our own backlog.

Join us as we get heated, remorseful, baffled, joyful while dishing on...

Hardest and softest Whoa! / No of 2022

Sexiest part and weirdest parts we read this year

Most surprising book

Favoritest MCs

What we want more of in 2023, and what we could use a lot less of in 2022

...AND SO MUCH MORE!

Those who forget history are doomed, positively doomed to repeat it. So join us as we take out doom insurance.

What can the self reflection of a divorced heterosexual man tell us about the Happily Ever After secret sauce - THE APOLOGY.

More importantly, perhaps, what does that secret sauce say about us as Romance Consumers and Straight, Yt Ladies? Like, what is that secret sauce covering?

In which Isabeau tries to answer Morgan's questions about "Bridgerton". Because, perhaps like you, we are just two assholes coughing up the dust Bridgerton has left us in.

Join us as we bumble through Blibberton - from Anthony to Cletus to Ghouly, totally forgetting about Francesca and Gregory. We unearth Twitter controversies, desperately try to get on the same page about The Bridgerton Ball and cough up a couple of spoilers along the way.

How does the show speak about race? And fatness? What is a Diamond, exactly? How does the show represent Romance to the broader public?

The episode for when you've consumed absolutely everything or absolutely nothing about Bubberton!

At the conclusion of Jane Eyre, yr grls reflect on what brought us to Jane Eyre and where Jane Eyre has brought us - including, but not limited to, it’s contrasts with “Pride and Prejudice”.

Is Jane Eyre a self aware text or does it mostly benefit from modern readers seeing its Id? Is the Darcy more prevalent than The Rochester? Is an archetype it’s arc? What’s next?

What’s wet is always wet.
