This week we tackle Christmas on Crimson Mountain by Michelle Major. We were craving a sweet Hallmark-movie-style romance featuring a small town, ice skating, hot chocolate, a winter cabin, a kitten named Jingle, and a heaping dose of Christmas cheer. What we got was that PLUS a beastly widower, a breast cancer survivor, lots of unsolicited grabbery, some light child neglect, and not one but TWO orphans! Buckle up, buttercups. Self love recommendations: - Shower? This should be a regular life th...

Hey All! This week we read the final book in Tiffany Reisz's Men at Work series, One Hot December! This one has a bad-ass welder heating things up with a man that’s part construction worker, part CEO (a creature we’ve never seen in the wild, but we are definitely into). We finally got a tiny bit of kink, and we play Fuck-Marry-Kill with the book's leading men and supporting ladies. Get. Stoked. This book also kicks off our holiday series of Christmas books! Self Love Recommendations: - Let your ...

This week Erin and Melody read their first historical with The Duchess War by Courtney Milan! This was a beautifully written and surprisingly sexy wallflower-meets-duke story that we both loved, even if the duke was less rakish than Erin had hoped. Enjoy! Self Love Recommendations: - Take a staycation if you can! Putting your worries on a shelf and being a tourist in your backyard can be very restorative. - Take a mental health break if you need it, drawing inspiration from figure skater Gracie ...

Full disclosure, we didn’t necessarily *like* this book, but we cannot wait to give you a hilarious after-school special about why we didn’t. We present a *very special episode* about what the kids are reading these days. Self Love Recommendations: - Watch Big Little Lies on HBO or something else where talented people are slaying the game. - Listen to the l...
