Southern Holy Rot and Post-Apocalyptic Nightmares With Tuesday James

Southern Holy Rot and Post-Apocalyptic Nightmares With Tuesday James ​Kirsty and I are sitting in that heavy Texas heat for this one, and honestly, the atmosphere sets the absolute mood for what we are about to unpack. Tuesday James dropped by the studio to chat about her upcoming book hitting shelves on October 6th, and trust us when we say you need this on your radar immediately. What started out as a casual warm-up writing exercise before teaching turned into a full-blown dystopian, gothic nightmare that we are completely obsessed with. ​If you love your dark fantasy soaked in atmospheric dread, religious trauma, and morally black characters who will ruin your life, pull up a chair. We are getting into all the juicy details, plus why this duology ending left us staring at the wall in absolute silence.

Unpacking Our Wildest Maasverse Theories ๐Ÿฆ‡✨

  ​ Are you ready for the ultimate book hangover? Because Kirsty, Vex, and I are completely losing our minds this week over Sarah J Maas and all the hidden mythology clues we somehow totally missed. We are so unhinged today. If you thought you knew everything about the Maasverse, you might want to grab a potion and sit down for this one. ​But before we get into the actual episode details, we absolutely have to talk about yesterday. We hopped on an Instagram Live and filled out our ACOTAR bingo card with 30 different theories for books six and seven. Yes, 30 full theories. We spent about an hour and a half completely losing our minds breaking down what we think is coming next. Honestly I am still recovering from the absolute chaos of it all. Did you catch it? If you missed the live, you definitely need to come join The Coven's Cocktail Club on Instagram so you never miss out on our spontaneous rants!

Naked Beaches, Burning Man, and Dark Romance (Chatting with KL Hill!)

Hey Besties!  If you are looking for an episode that goes completely off the rails in the best way possible, you have found it.  This week on the podcast, we are sitting down with the incredible dark romance author KL Hill!!  We talk about everything from the dark depths of thriller romance to some truly wild real life stories... I am talking full on naked beaches, the Orgy Dome rules at Burning Man, and crossing the Canadian border! Seriously, you are not ready for how unhinged this gets.  Grab a drink and let us get right into the madness! The Potion ๐Ÿน You know we have to start things off right.  This week's signature drink is a bright blue concoction that we are just calling "Blue, yeah, its Fruity".  It is sweet, a little tart, and goes perfectly with discussions about alien races and wicker penises. (Yes, you read that right, we totally go there). Wild Adventures & The Naked Beach ๐Ÿ–️ Before we even get to the books, we had to swap some ridiculous...

  ​ Welcome back to the blog book besties! If you tuned into today's brand new episode of Two Girls, One TBR you already know things got completely and utterly unhinged... Kirsty, Jess, and I talked about the books that have us questioning our own sanity. Yes we are talking all things monster and alien romance today! ​If you are looking for vanilla you definitely took a wrong turn at the algorithm. We are strictly 18 plus over here and we like our book boyfriends with a little extra anatomy... if you know what I mean. ​๐Ÿธ The Potion ​Before we got into the heavy smut we had to set the mood. Nothing pairs better with a massive book hangover than a perfectly themed drink, and this week we are pouring up something intergalactic! ​ The Poison: The Void Star Martini ๐Ÿธ✨ The Vibe: Dark, shimmering, and dangerously smooth with a cosmic edge. ๐ŸŒŒ ​2 oz vanilla vodka ​1 oz espresso (or cold brew concentrate) ​0.75 oz Kahlรบa ​0.5 oz blackberry liqueur ​Edible black glitter or pearl luster dus...
