Join us as we welcome the fabulous Sarah and Jess from the "Hissing and Kissing" podcast, who bring their unique insights into the realm of romantasy literature. Together, we explore the fascinating roots of monster romance and how pop culture shapes our modern love stories. With a sprinkle of humor and a dash of nostalgia, we reminisce about our Dragon Con meet-up and dive headfirst into a discussion that's as entertaining as it is enlightening.
What's more thrilling than banned books and indie bookshop crawls? We take a stroll down memory lane, discussing the joys of youthful reading and spotlighting the role of libraries in our literary journeys. Our excitement for upcoming events like Krampusnacht in Orlando is palpable, but nothing quite steals the spotlight like our spoiler-free review of "Morning Glory Milking Farm" by C.M. Nascosta. This book's intriguing themes and unique charm are sure to tickle the fancy of any monster romance aficionado, promising a conversation that's both thought-provoking and wildly entertaining.
Expect a good laugh as we revel in the imaginative world of romance plots featuring non-human characters. From humorous takes on unrealistic abs to personal interpretations of character designs, we explore the playful side of monster romance. As we wrap up the episode, we tease our book club's upcoming read and hint at future discussions that blend literary magic with camaraderie. Whether you're a seasoned fan or just curious about the genre, our episode guarantees a journey filled with laughs, insights, and a touch of romance.
