Ep. 28: The Daze Effect

Welcome back to The Lit Library! Grab a seat and some water as we turn the temperature alllll the way up as we welcome the incomparable Aria “Big Unk” Daze, a rising force in modern Black erotica whose pen knows exactly where to press, tease, and linger.

Your favorite literary baddies sit down with Aria to talk craft, kink, character obsession, and the delicious nonlinear magic of writing desire that feels lived-in, sensual, and boldly Black. We get into the worlds she builds, the intimacy she honors, the freedom erotica gives our communities, and how she balances softness with scorch.

From her creative rituals to the scenes that nearly wrote themselves, Aria lets us peek behind the curtain, and babayyyyy, it is a view.

If you love conversations about sex-positive storytelling, authentic heat, and the black authors pushing the genre forward, this is your episode. Pour a drink, dim the lights, and slide into this episode.

Welcome to The Lit Library, where the books are Black, the discussions are bold, and this week’s lesson might just save… or corrupt you.

Ep. 27: Cock Queen

Things are getting dangerously delicious in The Lit Library this month. We cracked open Our Vicious Oaths expecting a little magic, a little mayhem… and instead got a whole buffet of backstabbing besties, morally flexible hotties, ancient curses with no respect for personal boundaries, and enough jaw-dropping plot twists to make us question our own life choices.

Join us as we dive headfirst into N.E. Davenport’s lush, lethal world where alliances shift faster than our attention spans, romance simmers hotter than our coffee (which is saying something), and everyone is one bad decision away from either saving the realm or accidentally summoning something with too many teeth.

We’ll break down the drama, thirst over the characters we absolutely should NOT be thirsting over, and attempt to answer the most pressing question of all:

Would we survive these vicious oaths, or would we trip over a spell circle and immediately die?

Grab your enchanted snacks and tune in—this episode is equal parts chaos, cackling, and scandalous book-nerd joy.

Ep. 26: Saints & Ain’ts, A Sit-Down with Tia Love

This week in The Lit Library’s road to #BRBF26, the ladies welcome the incomparable Tia Love, author of the wildly addictive Bible Study.

We’re diving deep into the pages where devotion meets temptation, faith meets flesh, and the sanctuary gets just a little… steamy. Tia takes us behind the altar and into the writing process, sharing how she crafted a story that blends Black church culture, family secrets, irresistible chemistry, and characters you absolutely should not be rooting for, but do anyway.

Expect laughter, gasps, confession-level honesty, and a whole lot of “girl, did that 

really happen?” as we unpack the themes, the drama, the messy saints, and everything that makes Bible Study a can’t-put-down favorite.

Whether you’re a longtime Tia Love reader or brand new to her work, this episode will have you grabbing your highlighters, your headphones, and maybe saying a tiny prayer before you hit play.

Bookmark This Ep. 3: A Scheme Setup by Devante

Grand Rising Kings and Queens, settle in as we light some nag champa and dive into this episode headfirst. Shawndra, Jaleesa, DH Renfroe, and Dr. Diamond strolled into the addictive, tension-packed world of Tiffany D. Jackson’s The Scammer. Join us as we unpack Jackson’s razor-sharp character work, twisty plot turns, and the unsettling gray areas between survival, manipulation, and truth.

We explore what makes this psychological thriller so irresistible: the unreliable narrators, the emotional stakes, the sharp social commentary, and the slow-burn suspense that keeps you wondering who’s conning whom. Whether you’ve already devoured the book or you’re curious about the hype, we break down what The Scammer says about identity, ambition, and the cost of reinvention.

If you love smart discussions, bold opinions, and books that leave you questioning everything, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Ep. 24: Haunted Pages & Haints: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due

Grab your pumpkin spice latte, or something a little stronger, because this episode of The Lit Library is straight out of your nightmares (in the best way). Jaleesa, Diamond, Shawndra, and Fancy crack open Tananarive Due’s The Reformatory, a chilling, brilliant, and deeply human story that’ll make you think twice about creaky floorboards and Southern “reform” schools. 👻

We’re talking ghosts, generational trauma, and a Black boy who sees spirits that refuse to be silent. Between the scares and side-eyes, expect a few laughs, a little chaos, and maybe even a séance of shade as we decide which of us would actually survive a haunted Florida backroad.

So light a candle, keep your sage handy, and join us for a Halloween special that proves reading can be terrifyingly good.

🕯️ Because in The Lit Library, even the books have ghosts.

Ep. 21: Hattie Please!

Welcome back book baes! On this episode of The Lit Library, we crack open ReShonda Tate’s dazzling historical fiction novel, The Queen of Sugar Hill. Set against the glittering backdrop of 1940s and 50s Atlanta, this historical fiction reimagines the life of Hattie McDaniel—the first Black woman to win an Academy Award—and places her at the center of a story filled with ambition, glamour, heartbreak, and resilience.

We talk about how Tate brings the hidden corners of Black Hollywood and the vibrant Sugar Hill neighborhood to life, while exploring the price of fame, the complexity of respectability politics, and the challenges of breaking barriers in a segregated America. Expect a mix of lively discussion, critical insights, and plenty of admiration for the way this novel celebrates Hattie’s legacy while honoring the women who paved the way.

Whether you’re already a fan of ReShonda Tate’s work or just discovering her, this is an episode that will make you want to grab the book, pour a glass of something good, and join the conversation.
