Yr Grls are wrapping up the festive season with a read that had us tugging at our cable knit turtlenecks.
In "Twelve Drummers" Angelina M. Lopez introduces us to a jewel thief who gets much more than she (or the security guard she's been oBsEErViNNg) bargained for in a sleepy museum in middle America. About twelve more...actually.
Where is the line between a steamy romance and an erotic romance? Can you decolonize Christmas while getting turned on? Should you read this in your childhood bedroom while you're home for the holidays?
Join us in the war on Xmas, the drummer boy is very horny.

This week, yr grls discuss the show's first Hanukkah story from an anthology of shorts titled "Eight Kisses: Eight All-New Tales of Holiday Romance". Specifically we are back in bonnie Scotland for "A Highlander for Hanukkah" by Lori Ann Bailey (who also edited the anthology!)
Shoshana likes James, and James likes Shoshana even though she's Jewish and he's Catholic. But then a series of B'n'E's start cropping up, her dad goes out of town on business, and Hanukkah all coincide to help them discover they can and DO still want to make it.
Is all oppression equal? Is all comfort equal? And what makes a trope slap?
You're not going to wait for THIS Hot Pocket to cool before consuming.

Secrets, secrets are no fun. But THE Secret? By Julie Garwood? Well…
Judith leaves her dysfunctional behind in England to use her DIY doula skills to help her friend deliver a baby in the highlands. You know what they have in the highlands, don’t you? That’s right - HIGHLANDERS. Big, hunky, aloof-yet-communicative, laird-y ones named Ian.
Does the context a book was published in really matter? Is the appeal of highlanders just innocent plaid fun? Did you know Ian is Gaelic for John?
