Book Boyfriend

Real boyfriends have so much to learn from our fictional ones. Join Adele (an avid escapist reader) and Josh (her slightly less literate boyfriend) as they read romance books together so Josh can learn vital lessons from fictional men. Every week, Josh shares what he read and understood from the book they are focusing on, sometimes he gets it right and sometimes he is wildly off, but either way it is entertaining and we all leave better boyfriends.

Live Reunion Show (Prerecorded) - A Court of Thorns and Roses - Episode 8

We were alive when we recorded it, so that counts as live, right? This week, we talk through a recap of all of A Court of Thorns and Roses (Josh's Version) and get prepped to jump into book two. We already have a couple of book 2 episodes recorded so those will be with you relatively soon. Thank you for sticking with us and can't wait to continue to share Josh's incorrect opinions. Season 2 will start in 2 weeks with A Court of Mist and Fury Chapters 1-7.

Idiot Savant - A Court of Thorns and Roses - Episode 7

This week, we pick back up under the mountain and face the trials and attempt to gain freedom with Feyre. Will anyone die? Will anyone learn from there mistakes? Listen to find out! One note on this weeks episode, there are mentions of sexual assault. We do make jokes centered on how causally the topic is handled, but to be clear, sexual assault is never a joke.

#LuNesta - A Court of Thorns and Roses - Episode 5

This is not me announcing a partnership with the insomnia medication of the same name, but Josh has some fun this week trying to map out what some of the couples in future books could be, we would love to hear if you agree.

Faerie Truman Show - A Court of Thorns and Roses - Episode 4

Whether it’s our signature biting wit or a faerie indulging in some bizarre midnight munchies, this episode brings plenty of laughs, and probably too many sexual jokes. All of it, of course, is essential for helping boyfriends learn from the fictional men we adore.

Boogeyman - A Court of Thorns and Roses - Episode 2

Did you think it was impossible for Josh to say more borderline offensive things? Well boy were you wrong. This weeks episode is full of hot takes (does listening to audiobooks count as reading?), words that Josh assures us are not a slur, and dubious recounting of chapters 8-15 of A Court of Thorns and Roses. Apologies that the audio is not the best quality, it was early days of recording and we were still learning.
