Our hearts take wing and our air mattress deflates in this installment of MONSTER MARCH featuring Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison.

Pia manages to steal from a dragon's - or rather THE Dragon's - hoard but doesn't manage to not leave highly incriminating personal evidence at the scene. Lucky for us, and lucky for her, that means one powerful man-dragon can seduce her! And also some stuff about corporate espionage between dragons and elves and fairies.

Is the miscommunication trope where our deepest insecurities hide? Can a fantasy novel be weird about race even in the absence of race? Who lied to us about the dragon dong?

Is that a single horn extruding from your small, stocky body, or are you just happy to listen this episode?

Heeey listener, how's it going? Living the dream? Listen, we just wanted to touch base with you about "Love, Laugh, Lich" by Kate Prior? Yeah. Yeah. It is a romance novella about the executive assistant to a Lich who has office--you know--with her boss. Yeah, well the thing is, the Lich, has a real out-of-the-box...you know. Uh huh. I think we can circle back to that offline. And just to be clear, offline means online in this week's episode. Sound good? Well, some of the things we're thinking are...

Can comrades get turned on by billionaire boss boy romance with enough smoke and mirrors? Is your office Mount Doon wrapped in industrial carpet or is Mount Doon your office wrapped in mountain? How do you make ten bucks off a baby list?

Please advise.

So he said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm a GOD(GOD!)
Searchin' for the killer of my acolyte
Tuckin' my tentacles in tight
Avoiding my family and Fallin' for a PI...

Monster March begins with the Cthulhu-adjacent, pun-apparent, politic-of-death-exploring, Acsquidentally in Love by K.L. Hiers.

Is it reasonable to approach a book with expectations as a reader? What is appealing about Urban Fantasy? What ISN'T appealing about tentacles?

Wake your darkly dreaming asses up! We're talking a lover with three appendages for sex and dozens for just hugs and holdin' hands and stuff.

This episode is brought to you by Kensington’s newest title, The Most Eligible Bride in London by Ella Quinn.

Our time in S------ is coming to a close, but St. John is not letting Jane go without a bang and one orgasmic head pat. But you know what speaks louder than orgasmic head pats? The voice of true love, that's what!

Join us as we reflect on our time away from Rochester, the bad feeling bleeding through the presence of Empire in the text, and that this part of the book may be the part that matters the most.

Gang, we're starting to think St. John doesn't REALLY see Jane as a sister?

This chapter, Christmas occurs for two seconds and then Jane enters into an emotionally wrought new language practice with her first cousin cum benefactee, St. John. And things escalate when St. John invites her to join him in a colonialist, racist project. To say the least...

Join us as we unpack how Jane Eyre continues to be a book about race, nationalism, and men filling the void of women's confused silence with their enthusiastic consent. Heads up - the text is more self aware of some of these things than others.
