What happened to June? I shared the 9 books I finished that month. I had a blast talking to Sephie, but still can’t figure out how I read so little.

I love getting to chat with people. Gal Sal has been a presence on the Internet since 2019, but you might never know she's a romance reader based on her content.

Two double digit months! This was an odd one because so many of these were audiobooks. I don't tend to have that high a percentage of my reading be audio. I enjoyed my choices.

I am enjoying the new format of forearms. That I only share when I have enough I believe are worth sharing. It does mean that Sephie never knows when we are recording an episode.

I am reading! And reading a little bit more. I share all the books I read in April, up to our recording date. Final reading and purchasing stats will be in the show notes.

Getting back in the groove… a little bit. I had very light reading months as I recover. It was nice to share with Sephie, even if the amount is less than we are used to. I’m going to continue to “soft DNF” when I’m not feeling a book anymore. I highly recommend joining me in this.

I share with Sephie all the books that I read in January. This was a small reading month for me. Self-care is more important right now as I prepare for medical leave.

Our book club episodes are typically romance books, but in order to be better informed while reading I like to turn to the experts. The Ethical Slut is often the first introduction to polyamory. Come listen to what we thought.

Normally, Michael carefully curates the blooper reels into categories to make it make sense for ya’ll. These fit none of those. They’ve been sitting in a folder and he didn’t want to hold onto them anymore.

Warning: We spoil things from both Heated Rivalry the show, the book, and The Long Game.

We needed to take a moment to talk about the effect this show has had. Hailey is back to share her insight into how this show could only have been made in Canada. There are some nuts and bolts about the media business in Canada. I loved learning about it.

I know I cheated by naming an author or a series, but I don't care!!! 2025 was a great reading year. I loved getting to talk about some of my top reads. It's been almost a year since some of them were read.
