Send us a text This week we’re joined by Nan Tuckette for a very civil, absolutely normal untucked chat that definitely stays on topic. We talk books, reading habits, and then — inevitably — Heated Rivalry, a MM hockey romance that has no business being as addictive as it is. There are opinions. There is banter. There is a surprising amount of investment in fictional men who should probably communicate better. As ever, we discuss what worked, what made us sigh, and why this book continues to ...

Send us a text This week, Rosie fully commits to chaos and reads Frisky the Snowman for her Bit on the Side, and honestly… we’re still processing it. Expect festive filth, unexpected feelings about snowmen, and several moments where we question all of our life choices.

Episode Thirty-Four: The Christmas Tree Farm and Terrible Pickles

Send us a text This week we’re diving into The Christmas Tree Farm by Laurie Gilmore, a festive romance packed with small-town charm, cosy winter vibes, and enough holiday sparkle to make even the Grinch crack a smile. We chat through the book’s sweetest moments, its most chaotic characters, and — because it simply has to be addressed — the most awkward smut scene we’ve ever read. Yes, ever. We survived it so you don’t have to. Join us for tangents, questionable analogies, mild thirsting, and...

Episode Thirty-Three: Pickles and Playing With Fire ft. Paola Santana

Send us a text This week we’re diving into a wild mix of vinegary chaos and fiery fantasy as we chat with the brilliant Paola Santana. Expect laughter, questionable metaphors, and a few moments where we almost behave like a serious book club. Almost. We explore Paola’s world of love, mischief, and morally dodgy decisions, alongside the usual tangents involving pickles, cousins, and whatever else our brains decided to contribute on the day. It’s warm, witty, and just the right amount of unhing...

Episode Thirty Two: Never Bound, Neverland, and Nearly Unhinged

Send us a text In this week’s episode, Katy and Rosie tackle the all-important question: which book deserves the next big TV or film adaptation—and why are some of them already practically storyboards waiting to happen? Expect strong opinions, mild chaos, and at least one moment where Rosie forgets what genre we’re even talking about. We then dive headfirst into Never Bound by Rosemary Hart—a world of danger, devotion, and deliciously tense moments that had us both clutching our cosy mugs. We...

Episode Thirty-One: Meat, Juices & Mayhem ft. Theo T. Greenshaw

Send us a text This week, Rosie traumatises the nation with a deeply unnecessary deep-dive into meat and its… juices. Katy tries not to be sick, and we both attempt to recover in time to chat with the brilliant Theo T. Greenshaw about his dark, twisty novel Witchcraft and Fury. Expect magic, mayhem, questionable metaphors, and two hosts desperately trying not to think about gravy ever again.

Bonus Episode: Niles' Historical Footnote on Witchcraft

Send us a text In this utterly chaotic solo ramble, Niles takes the mic (and absolutely runs with it) to deliver a historical footnote no one asked for but everyone will be weirdly glad they heard. It’s just him, talking to himself about witchcraft, going off on tangents, correcting his own tangents, and occasionally arguing with imaginary academics. It’s unhinged, unexpectedly informative, and exactly the sort of bonus content that proves why he should never be left unsupervised. Support the...

Send us a text This week we somehow end up covering a lamp, a labyrinth, and When the World Falls Down by Jordan Lynde. Rosie shares her latest lamp-related revelation, Niles does his best to guide us through labyrinths both literal and literary, and we take a dry but oddly dedicated deep dive into Lynde’s world. It’s Episode Thirty: at this point, we’ve all accepted the chaos. Support the show Check out our socials: TikTok Instagram YouTube Niles' Historical Footnotes Edited by: Kell...

Meanwhile, the hosts tackle a very pressing question: which fictional couple would have the most awkward first time? Expect chaos, questionable logic, and far too much laughter for such a serio...

Finally, the duo dive deep into How Does It Feel? by Jeneane O’Reilley — book one in the Infatuated Fae series. Katy’s utterly obsessed, Rosie’s... well, less so. Expect chaos, mild thir...

Episode twenty seven: Murder in the Woods and Selling Hell as a Holiday ft. Sam Evans

Send us a text This week, Katy and Rosie head into the woods to chat about Sam Evans’ gripping murder mystery, In the Woods Somewhere. They’re joined by the author herself to talk twists, tension, and what really makes a good whodunnit. Naturally, things spiral into chaos when the conversation turns to travel — because of course the girls ask: which awful fictional place could we sell as a holiday rep? Expect shady sales pitches, suspiciously cheerful resort ads for the underworld, and a few ...

We deep dive into Vexed by Monique Koen — a sharp, funny, and emotionally charged read that’s left us both swooning. Expect chaos, questionable ethics, and a few supernatural side-eyes.

Expect laughter, chaos, and maybe a few awkward silences as we try to process just how wholesome monster smut can be. Rosie brings the chills with a special Spooky Bit on the Side, joined by the brilliant Charlie Fights, who proves you can be both tough and terrified.

We also chat with author Liz Shipton about her sharp and spellbinding new release Dot Slash Magic, diving into coding, chaos, and why witchcraft pairs so well with tech support.

Frankly, most of them would forget the snacks, lose the child, and set fire to the house.) Then, in a far more responsible turn, we chat with author Ash Rose about her deliciously sinful new release Sweet as Sin.
