S2:E3 - Book Babe Chat: Renee Rocco

Alex has a great time chatting with author, Sloane Steele (also known as Shannyn Shroeder), about her Counterfeit Capers books (her new heist/romantic suspense series), why writing groups are the best, and her favorite TV shows and how they inspired her new book series. 

We had a blast chatting with author, Renee Rocco about her process of getting back into writing️, how villains are just more interesting, and Renee's newest book WRAITH that might contain the antihero of our forbidden dreams.

Alex and Khara discuss all things Queen's Gambit including Beth Harmon's genius, the beautiful styling of the show (and Beth’s outfits), how Benny still looks like the child he played in Love Actually, the shows fantastical depiction of addiction, Beth’s sex-capades, and the underrated epic-ness that is chess (our boyfriends had a chess battle once). Join us on this wild ride that we enjoyed so much, and beware of show spoilers if you haven't watched yet!

Alex chats with book babe, Mary Elizabeth, to discuss twilight fan fic, writing strong women, getting back into writing, and whether we should admit TikTok is a thing for authors. If you love this episode, don't forget to subscribe and leave a review! 

We're finally discussing Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer and it's the vent session we so desperately needed about a book we so desperately wanted to like. From prose that dragged to whether or not Bella Swan deserves justice or not, we dish it all. Also, find out what we're reading next and currently excited about.

We decided that we're ready to skip the summer and go right to Halloween. We're talking embarrassing Halloween stories, and our favorite costumes, books, and movies! It's never too early for spook, right?

Our first "Books & Bites" mini-sode! Hello Twi-hards. Midnight Sun has just been unleashed onto the world and we recap our favorite book and movie moments from the Twilight Series, along with our WTF moments that no one talks about, and we also run down the best songs from the soundtracks. Are you team Edward or Jacob? Listen to find out which ones we are! We're prepping for our next episode where we'll review Midnight Sun. 

"Power is More Important" is what we should have titled this episode. We review The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, the long awaited prequel to the Hunger Game Series, and discuss all the things and raw emotions we had. Why does Coriolanus Snow's name have the word "anus" in it? Does Snow hate women? Is Lucy Gray a sweet angel or not?  Also, be on the look out for our fun mini-sodes called, "Books and Bites," releasing between book reviews where we talk about bookish things, pop culture, fandoms, and so much more.  Be sure to subscribe and leave us a review if you love our most recent episode.
