Somehow, we’ve been doing this podcast for five whole years. Who gave us the audacity? No one. We took it. We’ll discuss the past year’s bests and favorites, both on and off the podcast. We read some real bangers this year and we’re not sorry in advance for crying during this episode.

This week we read Game Changer and Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, THEN we watched Heated Rivalry on HBO. We don’t even know what to say here except that it’s amazing. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams are both brilliant. We’re stuck at the cottage and that’s a problem we never ever want to go away.  What we’re reading: Fire in his Blood - Ruby Dixon Claimed by the Mothman - KA Bower Provoking Saint Nick - Echo Grayce Follow us on Spotify Website: www.chicklitbookclubpodcast.com Merch: https://chicklitbookclubpodcast.threadless.com/ TikTok: ChickLitBookClub Instagram and Threads: ChickLitBookClubPodcast Pinterest: ChickLitBookClubPodcast BlueSky:@clbcpodcast.bsky.social Youtube: @ChickLitBookClub Email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Well, we’re a week late because life is hard and the holidays are super busy. But still, we’re excited to talk about Good Spirits by B.K. Borison! We have no idea why this book is generating so many mixed reviews because we absolutely loved it. Harriet, the owner of an antiques shop is visited by Nolan, the Ghost of Christmas Past–except that they can’t seem to find any memories that would lead them to believe she’s in need of divine intervention. It’s funny, it’s emotional, and it made both of us cry. 10000/10 recommend.

Happy Spooky Szn!! To celebrate, we read Lights Out by Navessa Allen. Well, Rae read it and Veronica re-read it and have differing opinions. If you haven’t read this book yet, we’re shocked, but if you’re into dark romance, this might be up your alley…or, Aly. See what happens when a trauma nurse with mafia ties (Aly) and an expert hacker (Josh) go on a s*xy journey together and end up killing someone.

At Rae’s suggestion, we read Gloves Off (Vancouver Storm Book 4) by Stephanie Archer and it did NOT disappoint. If you’re looking for enemies-to-lovers, this is the cream of the crop. Georgia and Alexei cannot stand each other, but agree to a marriage of convenience so he can get his green card and she can get her inheritance. They say horrible things to each other, but eventually, the tide turns, in no small part to Alexei’s flower deliveries.  Up Next: Luxuria: A Monster Romance by Colette Rhodes SOS Novella: Stiff by Thea Mason What we’re reading: Cider Spice and Orcish Night by Zora Black The entire Vancouver Storm series by Stephanie Archer Follow us on Spotify Website: www.chicklitbookclubpodcast.com Merch: https://chicklitbookclubpodcast.threadless.com/ TikTok: ChickLitBookClub Instagram and Threads: ChickLitBookClubPodcast Pinterest: ChickLitBookClubPodcast BlueSky:@clbcpodcast.bsky.social Youtube: @ChickLitBookClub Email: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

This week, we read Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes! This dark paranormal romcom follows newly promoted Detective Celine Brennan as she investigates a gruesome series of murders…and of course the vampire committing the Dexter-style murders: Zavier Lockwood. Oh, and did we mention they’re fated mates? That’s gonna make solving the crimes kinda awkward.

This week, we read Brim Over Boot by Emmy Sanders. Sworn rivals Noah and Colton are the only two farriers in Darling, Montana.

This week, we read Wolf.e by Paisley Hope and apparently we downloaded it on KU *right* before it got picked up…because you can’t find it now. Brinley finds herself in the crosshairs of the President of the Hounds of Hell MC. Did she bite off more than she can chew, or is Gabriel Wolfe everything she ever wanted? Veronica’s friend Kristen has terminal lung cancer. If you’re able, please support her in some way, even if that’s just engagement on social media.

Oy Vey, how different a week makes. We read  Talk Flirty to Me by Livy Hart. This book is a bit of a mess. It had so much potential but couldnt stick the landing. When faced with the last opportunity to break it big into voice acting, Piper Bellini has to ask her high school ex-boyfriend for the biggest favor, audition with her as a partner team for the biggest audiobook recording company going. Sam O’Shea needs a favor in return, get her family to endorse his bid for town mayor, and maybe mend fences after 7 years apart. What happens when the voice acting gig gets a little too real? Nothing. Kidding!

Pack the tissues dear listeners! The ladies went through the emotional wringer this week with the beautiful second in the Summer Reading series, Love at First Book by Jenn McKinlay. Martha’s Vineyard librarian, Emily Allen, is transplanted to the small Irish town of Finn’s Hollow with a job opportunity to assist her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan finish the final novel in her best-selling series.

We’re not kidding…HICCUPING, FOLX.  Veronica’s friend Kristen has terminal lung cancer. She has been unable to work since her diagnosis, so she’s been living off of savings and GoFundMe donations.

We stayed in Texas for another episode! This week, we read CASH by Jessica Peterson. When Mollie inherits her estranged father’s cattle ranch, she plans to immediately sell it and invest the money into her own business. The only problem is that she has to live on the ranch for a year before she actually owns it, which doesn’t really fit into her life in Dallas. Oh, and that hot ranch foreman who her father verbally promised the ranch to…he’s a problem, too.  Over 100 people are now counted among the dead following a horrific flash flood in central Texas. If you’d like to help those affected, you can find resources here. Veronica’s friend Kristen, who she discusses at the end of the episode, has terminal lung cancer. She has been unable to work since her diagnosis, so she’s been living off of savings and GoFundMe donations. She is one of the kindest, most generous people on this planet.
