Episode 140: Do I Make You Thorny, Baby? - A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Yr grls return to discuss everybody's favorite pandemic baby - A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES BY SARAH J. MAAS!

Feyre thought things couldn't get much worse while she was desperately hunting a mysterious wolf to feed her starving family. She was right! Because things actually get pretty groovy once she's kidnapped by Tamlin the Beast/Fae King of the Spring Court (whatever that means!). But then they do actually get worse when she chases her new love under the mountain and has to face a buncha magical trials.

How can a text subvert the dread Mary-Sue? Can we identify genre fiction by its references? IS this a romance?

Order a third El Presidente Margarita - this one is for the Maasholes and greenhorns alike! Spoilers ahead.

Hummingbird by LaVyrle Spencer (Triage a Trois Re!mance)

Do we talk about this book enough?

The red shoes?

The mother's wedding veil?

The pew?

Probably not. So we're just going to release the whole damn thing again.

Originally aired Summer 2020.

Abigail McKenzie felt like an outcast in her one train stop town. Yet when two men are wounded in the same train robbery, she agrees to take them in: David, the model of a gentleman, and Jesse, hot-tempered and alluring, vie for Abigail’s affections. But as she nurses them both back to health, intimacy and proximity push our heroine to explore her sensual side, and the true identities of her patients reveal a rich history beyond their injuries. This week, Morgan and Isabeau take a listener recommendation and fall in love with Hummingbird by LaVyrle Spencer. It’s got it all: gunfights, soup straws, moustaches, and above all, feet. Dust off a nice pair of something tall for this little ditty.
