In episode 10 my good friend Leah and I talk about Dawn by Octavia Butler, Beverly Jenkins, our shared love of steamy romances and the bad reputation that romance as a genre gets much to our bafflement. We laugh, have fun and decide this isn't the end of us recording together. There is no greater pleasure than talking about book with book friends. I hope you enjoy this one because I certainly did.
