This week yr girls are keeping it short’n’sweet as carrots with A MAN OF TASTE by SHIRA GLASSMAN. Milly the Vampire decides to treat herself and make herself a snack of a snack (wink). Little does she know she just found the everlasting gobstopper of boyfriends/dinners.
Can women consume anything without it being a moral conundrum? Is camp essential to vampire horror? Why is romance so good at genre mashing?
Lick. It. Up.

Halloween isn't all about spookies, sometimes it is about parties. This week, yr grls explore the latter with PUMPKIN POUNDER by LAURA LOVELY.
Titular Daisy pursues her preference for those with the MC1R gene into a rom-com cum softcore Halloween evening with a guy from Ireland. But guess what? He's different from the other pumpkins she's pounded, and her passion for pounding pumpkins could just be another costume.
Are fetishes romantic? Is Halloween romantic? Is New York romantic? Is The Nightmare Before Christmas romantic?
Be home before midnight, lest ye be pounded by this week's episode.

Awoooooooooooo-tmespheric season is upon us, and this week yr grls are bundling up in the wooly caress of FOR THE WOLF by HANNAH WHITTEN.
Red was born to be a sacrifice to the enigmatic Wolf in the Woods, bound long before her time by a curse that is a lot like a marriage. But it turns out, he's more puppy than predator. And the woods aren't quite the bloodsucking borderlands they appear. But that doesn't mean there aren't bloodsucking predators afoot....
If a fantasy is a fantasy and a romance is romance--why is that? What is romance's unique place in the genre pool? What is the particular appeal of Fall for femmes? Is that blood or sap?
Lick it and see!
It's a livin' thing.
This week, yr grls conclude their discussion Georgette Heyer's seminal novel of VENETIA!
This time we get into the sexiest part, the weirdest part, and the final verdict on whether or not we Whoa! or No! Venny. We may not stroke your ego, but we will get you in your feels.
Is the romance vibe, on the whole, more Georgette or Jane? Who is the Emma in your friend group? If you can't answer that, you might be the Emma. But look on the sunny side! At least you're not the Venetia.
This episode is brought to you by Kensington’s newest title from Shelly Laurenston, Breaking Badger.
It has been a long time coming, so we hope you don't mind if we stay awhile. This week, yr grls embark on two part discussion of VENETIA by Lioness in her Field GEORGETTE HEYER. In an English country village (alleged) nonpareil Venetia meets an infamous rake and...well you know how this goes. Georgette Heyer basically wrote the song after all.
A return to the canon means a return to the big questions in romance. We know Heyer is a bad person, but is Venetia? How extricable is perspective from heroine? Is a man who is good at reading romance aloud necessarily a feminist? How do we talk about the problematic hands that mold the objects we love?
Put down that dentist office People Magazine and pick up your earbuds, this one is spicy.
We return just in time for a wedding.
Time: Rushed.
Location: Church near the packed carriage, literally at your house.
Mood: Sometimes it is hard to tell if you're excited or scared, you know?
Guests: Unexpected.
Join us as we pick back up right where we left off with Chapter 26 of Jane Eyre.
If you enjoy this show, please let your friends know! If you're concerned about a pal's new love interest specifically, do send them this specific episode. The eerie feeling can always be far worse, and far closer, than Grace Poole.
