WEBVTT

00:00:08.819 --> 00:00:12.039
you all sucked at that and you should be ashamed

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:29.329
i thought it was cute we did our best Brats and

00:00:29.329 --> 00:00:32.270
welcome back to another episode of Rainbow Book

00:00:32.270 --> 00:00:35.729
Rats, a queer romance podcast where four feral

00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:39.310
rats nerd out about their favorite reads. On

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:42.369
this episode of Digging Deeper, we will be talking

00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:45.829
about our recent buddy read and doing a deep

00:00:45.829 --> 00:00:49.189
dive into a bookish topic one of us is foaming

00:00:49.189 --> 00:00:52.789
at the mouth to talk about. So grab a treat,

00:00:52.850 --> 00:01:01.630
settle in, and let's get to yapping. I'm JD.

00:01:01.789 --> 00:01:05.109
My pronouns are they, them, and I don't like

00:01:05.109 --> 00:01:11.010
blueberries. Were you talking about that? I was

00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.469
really slow on the uptake there and I didn't

00:01:14.469 --> 00:01:17.590
realize. That's my fact. I don't like blueberries.

00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:21.090
What do they do to you? I just don't like them.

00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:24.590
I wish I liked them. The skin? I try them often

00:01:24.590 --> 00:01:26.790
because I don't understand why I don't like them

00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:28.709
because I like every other berry, but every time

00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:31.819
I eat one, I'm like, bleh, bleh. I just don't

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:34.159
like them. Yeah, I know. It makes me sad, too,

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:36.120
because blueberry muffins smell delicious, and

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.340
then I eat them, and I'm like, I don't like blueberry

00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:41.700
muffins either. They look good. They smell good.

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.260
My thing's not a surprise to anybody. I don't

00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:49.140
like anything. Kit, that just means more blueberry

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:52.579
muffins for you and I. This is very true. And

00:01:52.579 --> 00:01:57.980
I will look on longingly. I wish I liked them.

00:01:58.019 --> 00:02:04.040
Anyway, I don't like blueberries. I'm Kit, they,

00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.840
he, and all my favorite animals are super weird.

00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:12.919
They are. That's true. But we love that. Yeah.

00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:18.819
I am Megan. She, her, they, them. And I don't

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:23.280
like honey. What? You guys are killing me today.

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.330
That seems crazy, but... I kind of get it, though.

00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:34.090
Yeah. I'll allow it, I guess. I'm Katie, she,

00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:37.770
her, and in high school, I superglued fake vampire

00:02:37.770 --> 00:02:45.770
teeth to my mouth. And that's why we're friends.

00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:52.849
I wanted them to stay in. Like the plastic ones

00:02:52.849 --> 00:02:54.770
you get when you're in elementary school or like

00:02:54.770 --> 00:02:57.550
the ones from Hot Topic. She was in high school.

00:02:57.590 --> 00:03:00.849
They were sophisticated. They were obviously

00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:03.069
the Hot Topic ones. The ones you like molded

00:03:03.069 --> 00:03:06.370
with the wax. Yeah. But I wanted them to be real

00:03:06.370 --> 00:03:10.789
secure. That's amazing. Yeah. No one here is

00:03:10.789 --> 00:03:14.280
going to fault you for that. no i actually have

00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.939
thought about like actually getting like real

00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:23.960
like implants yeah like like yeah like real oh

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.120

would be it would be i think it would be so cute

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:35.580
in my face i think it would be too so today's

00:03:35.580 --> 00:03:39.460
episode would be discussion on our buddy read

00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:42.719
and then a deep dive however yeah so it was my

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.520
pick for buddy read this time and it was just

00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.620
one of those occasions you know how sometimes

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:50.199
you pick a book and it was a long time since

00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.599

00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.180
it like the things that i loved about it i still

00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:57.719

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.099
with it that i didn't really remember and at

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:02.960
the end of the day we decided as a group that

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.439

instead we thought we would talk about some of

00:04:38.139 --> 00:04:40.519
the books that are on our tbr that have been

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.639
out maybe for a while that we're really excited

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.019
to get to read yeah yeah somebody save me yeah

00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:52.199
so i will go first i have three that i picked

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.079
out the first one that i have is magnificent

00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.300
mess by roe horvat It is the third book in the

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:03.240
Bears of Beauville series. I read the first two.

00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:07.199
I really liked them. Yeah, I'm excited to read

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.519
this one. It just came out recently. So it's

00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.300
an Omegaverse book based on the title. You might

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:14.300
be able to guess that they're bear shifters.

00:05:15.660 --> 00:05:18.899
Shocking. I know. The Bears of Beauville. It

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:22.720
is about bear shifters. Yes. I love a bear. I

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.259
know. Don't we all? So this one is about two

00:05:27.259 --> 00:05:32.939
bear shifter alphas who are friends and one Omega.

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.939
who is a burned out superstar who comes to their

00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:44.240
small town to kind of take a rest. Oh, this is

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.639
the best friend of the MC from book one, right?

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.800
Yes, that's correct. Yeah. I actually have that

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:55.660
written down so that I would say that. This one

00:05:55.660 --> 00:06:01.120
is described as. A book with an intense heat

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:08.000
and a slightly unusual fate bond. So yeah, it's

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.720
a grumpy sunshine. Well, the friends are grumpy

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.699
sunshine together. Laurel is the superstar. He's

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.459
been a burned out rock star and he's a lot younger,

00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.300
so it's kind of an age gap. Yeah, I'm excited

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:26.009
for it. I love all of that. Yeah. Yeah. Same.

00:06:26.149 --> 00:06:27.730
I was just gonna say, I know it's a weird trope,

00:06:27.730 --> 00:06:30.050
but I really like a burned out character finding

00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:32.569
somebody to like help them and not be like, like

00:06:32.569 --> 00:06:37.089
Roman with Danny. Hey Bratz, Editing Megan here.

00:06:37.209 --> 00:06:40.709
Just letting you know that JD is apologizing

00:06:40.709 --> 00:06:44.110
here for coughing. I took that cough out because

00:06:44.110 --> 00:06:47.189
no one wants to hear that, but the resulting

00:06:47.189 --> 00:06:52.269
banter was funny. So I left it in. Enjoy. Yeah,

00:06:52.350 --> 00:06:54.899
me too. Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, you guys. Do

00:06:54.899 --> 00:07:03.019

one It is Becoming New by Annie Bennett, which

00:10:25.769 --> 00:10:28.710
is book two in the Isle of Donuts series. Yay!

00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:34.610
I love this series so much! So both books are

00:10:34.610 --> 00:10:38.009
paranormal, low -angst, cosy romances set in

00:10:38.009 --> 00:10:42.570
the Scottish Isles. Book one was so cute. So

00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:48.039
cosy, yeah. Right. So book one is a really grumpy,

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:51.340
sad boy werewolf who's forced to take in a sunshine

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.799
witch who's escaping heartbreak. They're stuck

00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.259
in only one bed situation in a small cottage

00:10:57.259 --> 00:11:01.120
with a whole lot of pygmy goats. who enjoy causing

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:06.379
trouble yes and that book has so much hurt comfort

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:09.440
it's got mutual pining and generally being ridiculous

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.019
around each other and i just loved it they're

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:14.539
so sweet together this one is another one of

00:11:14.539 --> 00:11:18.820
my communication kings tag yeah because they

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:22.419
talk everything out together it's oh we love

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:27.419
the best yeah so for this one What I've been

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:29.559
able to work out from looking at reviews, looking

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:32.519
at the blurb, essentially, so this is another

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.460
of the werewolves from the werewolf pack. So

00:11:34.460 --> 00:11:36.980
he's a werewolf bookshop owner and he's really

00:11:36.980 --> 00:11:40.629
lonely. Aww, lonely boy. He's so lonely. Yeah,

00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:43.690
and he wants someone to do puzzles with and eat

00:11:43.690 --> 00:11:47.129
cheesy pasta together. Oh my god. Me too, me

00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:50.830
too. Right? Like, sign me up. And so his love

00:11:50.830 --> 00:11:53.889
interest is a socially awkward veterinarian human.

00:11:54.090 --> 00:11:57.029
Aww. And essentially they are both sweet weirdos

00:11:57.029 --> 00:12:00.110
who find their person like first as friends and

00:12:00.110 --> 00:12:03.919
then as more. Yeah, it's a friends to lovers

00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.100
situation. It's so cute. There's so much cuddling

00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:10.620
in this book, you guys. Oh my God, I love cuddling

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:14.179
in books so much. Yes. Me too. It's slow burn,

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.460
it says, and it's a demisexual awakening, but

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:18.259
it heats up quite quickly after the first kiss.

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:22.019
It does. And it's so spicy after that. Yes. I

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:27.240
can't wait. We've got the whole werewolf family

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.659
as well from the pack that we met in book one.

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.740
But it sounds like we spend more time with them

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:36.659
in this book. Sorry. I'm trying to support you,

00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.940
Kit, and my cat is yowling down the hallway,

00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.279
and I just had to mute to yell at her, and I

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.360
didn't hear what you said, and I felt like you

00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:52.580
were waiting for me to help you. She's so mad

00:12:52.580 --> 00:12:55.419
that Matt hasn't gotten up yet. I think she can

00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:58.700
hear him on the other side of the door. Yeah,

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:06.049
sorry, sorry, sorry. I said werewolf found family

00:13:06.049 --> 00:13:07.710
that we met in book one, but we spend more time

00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:10.769
with them in this one. Yeah, we do. We do. We

00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:13.470
get to see a little bit more of a few of the

00:13:13.470 --> 00:13:18.169
other characters. I love them. The whole series

00:13:18.169 --> 00:13:21.190
is so good. All the characters are so good. I

00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:24.190
just like try to get everybody I know to read

00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:29.110
it. Yeah, we met quite a few of the different

00:13:29.110 --> 00:13:31.470
werewolves, didn't we, in book one, but we didn't

00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:33.850
spend that much time with them. Yeah, no, not

00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:35.710
really. Yeah, only a little bit at the end. So

00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:37.590
I'm really looking forward to getting to spend

00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:39.509
a lot more time with the whole pack. Yeah. Yes,

00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:43.669
it's so cozy. And also the second book is kind

00:13:43.669 --> 00:13:50.289
of broken up into two sections -ish in my mind.

00:13:50.330 --> 00:13:56.809
And the title is a hint at why and what happens

00:13:56.809 --> 00:14:03.320
to make. to make that a thing. Something anyone

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.320
wants me to say to them, but maybe it's intrigued

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:11.440
you enough to go pick it up. Yeah, because I

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.759
know that we learn more about like the backstory

00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.940
of the whole world and stuff as well, which might

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:19.019
be what you're talking about. So that's really

00:14:19.019 --> 00:14:22.980
interesting. Okay, then, JD, keep your secrets.

00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:27.019
I will. They wouldn't be secrets if you guys

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:31.500
would just go read the book. Listen, I got to

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:34.299
stop signing up for ARCs and then I can... You

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:38.590
do, you have a problem. I'm real deep in this

00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:41.429
Leighton Green hole, so I'm sorry. Yeah, that's

00:14:41.429 --> 00:14:45.870
also my fault. And I won't apologize for it.

00:14:47.549 --> 00:14:49.990
So the first book, it looks like it was her debut,

00:14:50.029 --> 00:14:52.799
at least under this pen name. If it was her debut,

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:55.840
it was so good. Fantastic. And all I can say

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.200
is that I really wish that the Isle of Donut

00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:01.419
was a real place because I would move there now.

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:07.039
Oh my gosh. It seems so magical. Right. And just

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.159
like peaceful and lovely. Yeah. Annie's writing

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:14.080
is so, so good. I really, really love it. Yeah.

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:16.460
So if you're looking for something that's basically

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:19.840
almost no stakes, low angst, just really sweet.

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:22.100
definitely check out this series and I can't

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:24.000
wait to go and rebook too. I mean, I did cry,

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:27.720
but I mean, yeah. Oh yeah. It's a bit emotional.

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:30.220
Yeah. It's a bit emotional. There's big emotions.

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:34.039
Yeah. Not angsty. So that's what's on my TBR

00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.899
coming up very soon. Hopefully Megan, what's

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:38.419
on yours? I've got three for y 'all today. So

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:41.679
I'm going to start with one that was recommended

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.639

We love you. Yeah. Thank you. They commented

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:56.600

I was like, oh, what is that? And it's a gay

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:08.759

00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.559
very fun. Yeah. And growing up watching Battlestar

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.080
Galactica. Oh, I am very normal about Battlestar

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.500
Galactica. That sound you made proves it. Yeah.

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.179
Totally normal. As well as The Expanse, right?

00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.399
Yep. So yeah, it's a gay space opera. We're in

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.100
like a queer normative universe, which we love.

00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:31.480
I love that so much. That's my favorite thing.

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:34.820
Same here. And it's arranged marriage. It has

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:37.379
a lot of world building with like rival feuding

00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:39.980
planet. And it's hurt comfort. And it's got fight

00:16:39.980 --> 00:16:44.960
play. Oh, fight play? Yes. Fighting as a love

00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.919
language. Oh, okay. Yes, please. and it's got

00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:53.279
politics and romance and rivalry and yearning

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.220

yeah. And he popped up recently on my feed. And

00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:11.660
I was like, this is another gorgeous cover. And

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:14.339
it's a supernatural murder mystery. Yes. With

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:16.980
a hellhound. Yes. Yeah, I know, right? We love

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:20.380
the hellhounds. He's sent to our world to recapture

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:22.519
an escaped fugitive. And so, therefore, he has

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.180
to team up with a monster hunter. It's Grumpy

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:27.450
Sunshine in that the hellhound is like. this

00:17:27.450 --> 00:17:30.190
grumpy bad boy character and the monster hunters

00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:32.670
is like this sunshiny football jock character

00:17:32.670 --> 00:17:34.789
hopefully i can't hear betty in the background

00:17:34.789 --> 00:17:39.900
um so yes they team up to hunt down this fugitive

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:43.799
it's one of three books supposedly the story

00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:45.779
doesn't conclude in this book but the second

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:48.380
book's already out so it's got like dark themes

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:50.740
and morally great characters and it's a slow

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:55.160
burn yes yes that sounds really good yes this

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.579

uh residence by lily jane oh yes i keep seeing

00:18:05.289 --> 00:18:07.450

to people who can't get the pretty cover i see

00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:24.450
no problem with that i know exactly so yeah this

00:18:24.450 --> 00:18:27.529
one is a rock star romance so it's rock star

00:18:27.529 --> 00:18:32.130
slash ex -ballerina turned makeup artist And

00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:34.130
they like go on tour together. And it has a lot

00:18:34.130 --> 00:18:38.049
to do with emotional healing and recovering from

00:18:38.049 --> 00:18:42.650
addiction. And it says that it's a hard -earned

00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:46.930
HEA and a slow burn, but high heat. So that sounds

00:18:46.930 --> 00:18:50.789

on my kindle oh fuck i gotta read this book now

00:19:06.369 --> 00:19:10.569
yeah you and your arcs i know i did this to myself

00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:15.009
i like i love arc reading but not stressful not

00:19:15.009 --> 00:19:17.589
to sound you know higher than now but i don't

00:19:17.589 --> 00:19:27.250
do that I am very particular about books I arc

00:19:27.250 --> 00:19:31.670
read, and I won't apologize for it. I learned

00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:35.150
my lesson, because last year I signed up for

00:19:35.150 --> 00:19:37.349
NetGalley for the first time, and I always heard

00:19:37.349 --> 00:19:39.049
that NetGalley, it's super hard to get approved

00:19:39.049 --> 00:19:42.130
for books, but when you first make an account,

00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:44.789
your approval rating or whatever is 100%, so

00:19:44.789 --> 00:19:46.930
you'll pretty much get any book you sign up for.

00:19:47.490 --> 00:19:50.930
Mine was zero! okay well when I first signed

00:19:50.930 --> 00:19:54.130
up I was like oh all these books sound good I

00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:56.990
signed up for like 16 books and then all of a

00:19:56.990 --> 00:19:58.690
sudden like literally while I'm sitting there

00:19:58.690 --> 00:20:00.670
signing up I'm getting email after email I'm

00:20:00.670 --> 00:20:02.450
like oh my gosh I got approved for like nine

00:20:02.450 --> 00:20:06.390
books immediately um wow and and then I had to

00:20:06.390 --> 00:20:07.950
like rescind all my other things because I was

00:20:07.950 --> 00:20:10.849
like oh my god what have I done yeah I'm I'm

00:20:10.849 --> 00:20:14.150
just a commitment phobe so I'm like I I can't

00:20:14.150 --> 00:20:17.519
I can't be out here Just willy nilly signing

00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.660
up for whatever. I can't do that. Like last year,

00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.400
I was really good and didn't do too many arcs.

00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.299
Like you said, I just did ones for authors I

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:25.980
knew I was going to read the book for. And then,

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:28.759
you know, something shifted this year. Something

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:36.460
changed. Megan is back on the bullshit. I've

00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:39.240
managed to get them all done and like enjoyed

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.150
all of them. But I don't know. Yeah. I just got

00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:43.829
to stop. It's just a lot when they pile up like

00:20:43.829 --> 00:20:45.930
that. Yeah. They all came out the same time.

00:20:46.109 --> 00:20:49.089
And then the most recent one was 600 pages. So

00:20:49.089 --> 00:20:54.589
it's like. Oh, my God. Oh, man. So, yeah. Just

00:20:54.589 --> 00:20:57.190
to end this one up. It's a standalone. And it's

00:20:57.190 --> 00:20:59.750
opposite the tracks. And it's got lots of confessions.

00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:04.130
And like a roller coaster, you know, ride while

00:21:04.130 --> 00:21:06.910
they are on the road to recovery and working

00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:10.240
through that. And getting towards their happily

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.619
ever after. Yay. Those are mine. Katie, what

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:18.480
about you? Yeah. Well, I had to kind of look

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.940
through because most of my TBR right now is just

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:22.519
books that you guys have been talking about on

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:27.980
this podcast. Whoopsie. Yeah. Or more late and

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:33.759
green books. But I wanted to get back to some

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.940
of the series I'm already in the middle of. So

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:40.039
my first book is Kiss Kill Thrill Me Daddy by

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.220
Lance Lansdale. Which we're going to buddy read.

00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:46.089
Yes, so that's book two in the Murder Daddy series.

00:21:46.349 --> 00:21:48.869
And if you remember the first episode, I loved

00:21:48.869 --> 00:21:52.789
book one. It was so fun. Just crazy wild balls

00:21:52.789 --> 00:21:57.369
to the wall. It was a good time. So this is Tatum's

00:21:57.369 --> 00:22:00.769
book, Scotty's Best Friend. And at the end of

00:22:00.769 --> 00:22:03.009
book one, you find out he had been kidnapped

00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:08.930
by Kincaid. And they've got this weird dynamic

00:22:08.930 --> 00:22:11.660
of Kincaid's like... I'm kidnapping you for your

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:13.940
own good. This is what you need. And Kenan's

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:15.660
like, no, I don't want to be kidnapped. But also

00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:18.759
is like, yeah, okay. Yeah, he does. He does want

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.019
to be kidnapped. Yes. So I'm hoping for more

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:25.920
disquiled shenanigans like book one. You will

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.240
get it. This one features a lot of exhibitionism,

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:31.700
which I'm really excited about. And there was

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:34.900
one of the things in the synopsis was over -the

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:38.839
-top finger warming, which I'm excited for that.

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.420
It's like his comfort blanket or something. I

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:44.539
kind of love that. Yeah, I thought you were going

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:53.240
to say pacifier. It's a reverse pacifier. It's

00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:58.500
his assifier. His assifier. Oh, my God. Oh, no.

00:22:58.740 --> 00:23:02.500
But I'm super excited for that. It's coming to

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:05.940
audio. It's in the works. Yes. Eventually. And

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:07.039
I cannot wait to listen. Are you going to wait

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.000
for that? No, I'm not going to wait. I'm going

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.799
to. Yeah. I can't be bothered to wait. I need

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.279
it. I will probably re -listen when it comes

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.599
out on audio because I just did The House Husbands.

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.099
I had read book one and then I got an advance.

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:24.779
copy of the audio and i listened we listened

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:28.099
to it oh my god crying down the highway it was

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:35.140
so good oh no that's not dangerous at all it's

00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:37.839
fine i actually cry on the highway a lot if i

00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:42.339
think about it like we all have our places i

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:45.589
cry i cry everywhere yeah This does not surprise

00:23:45.589 --> 00:23:48.150
us. That's true. The world is Megan's crying

00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:51.289
place. I'm just thinking of like the places I

00:23:51.289 --> 00:23:54.059
listen to books the most in a carpool. And then

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:56.619
like highway and the driveway of my house. Cause

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:58.680
whenever I go somewhere, when I come home, I'll

00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:00.539
just sit in the driveway and like mentally prepare

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:02.960
myself to enter the house again. You have to.

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:08.420
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh man. So my other question,

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:12.400
question about the carpooling. Do you, do you

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.700
listen to our audio books and then cry when there's

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:19.970
kids in the car? No, I cannot listen to a book

00:24:19.970 --> 00:24:22.109
if there's the children, my nephews in the car

00:24:22.109 --> 00:24:23.809
with me, because one, I don't want them to hear

00:24:23.809 --> 00:24:27.210
my books. But two, I don't think they could be

00:24:27.210 --> 00:24:29.930
silent if it like if their lives depended on

00:24:29.930 --> 00:24:33.269
it. Yeah, they're not at the age yet where they

00:24:33.269 --> 00:24:37.089
can, where they know that they shouldn't. talk

00:24:37.089 --> 00:24:40.569
over an audiobook. The five -year -old, we were

00:24:40.569 --> 00:24:44.369
driving the other day, and he has learned beatboxing,

00:24:44.630 --> 00:24:48.690
I guess you would call it. Oh, no. Oh, I'm so

00:24:48.690 --> 00:24:52.230
sorry, Katie. I'm so sorry. He starts beatboxing.

00:24:52.349 --> 00:24:53.769
He's like, I'm going to do this until you stop

00:24:53.769 --> 00:24:56.970
the car. And I was like, we're driving. We're

00:24:56.970 --> 00:24:58.849
not going to stop. I don't know what you mean.

00:24:59.230 --> 00:25:02.049
And it's just bad fart sounds with his mouth

00:25:02.049 --> 00:25:05.549
the entire time. He's really passionate about

00:25:05.549 --> 00:25:09.549
it. I mean, I admire the passion, though. Good

00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:11.670
for him. Yeah, I'm glad he's found a hobby. I'm

00:25:11.670 --> 00:25:13.869
just sorry you have to listen to it while trapped

00:25:13.869 --> 00:25:19.460
in a vehicle. There is no escape. I know, it's

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:21.299
rough. And the other one, the nine -year -old,

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.160
is just sassy and he's always giving me shit

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.500
because maybe once or twice I've run a red light

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:31.519
on accident. We'll approach a stoplight and he'll

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:33.339
be like, just so you know, it's red. That means

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:40.400
you're supposed to stop. I know! The sass. Okay.

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:46.779
My other books. So I just finished the newest

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:51.220
release in the Passing Through Cafe series, Enchantment

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:55.160
and Envy. And I realized I skipped the prequel

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.759
novella. So Passion in the Pentagram is a prequel

00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:01.000
novella. You silly goose. I know. What am I doing?

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:04.839
But it sets up the story between Quinn and Glimma

00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:07.619
and how they meet. So Quinn is like set to marry

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:10.200
somebody, but she doesn't. She doesn't love them.

00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:11.359
She doesn't want to marry them, but she's going

00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.440
to do it for her family. And then she meets Glimmer,

00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:18.599
who wants... I know. Glimmer wants to come and

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:20.839
start a cafe. So she comes into Quinn's office

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:22.859
and is like, I want to get this cafe going. And

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:25.559
it's their little love story, which I'm so excited

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.359
about because I love them in the books. Sounds

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.200
very sweet. They're very hot in the books. Oh,

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:35.140
yeah. No, I know. It's like Succubus. There's

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:36.900
not a lot of books I've read with Succubus, but

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:39.819
one of my favorite books ever is Maneater by

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:43.789
Emily Antoinette. And that's a Succubus. am in

00:26:43.789 --> 00:26:45.809
love like i don't ever want to get married but

00:26:45.809 --> 00:26:48.410
if i had to marry somebody i would marry l um

00:26:48.410 --> 00:26:51.150
i thought you were saying i would marry a succubus

00:26:51.150 --> 00:26:56.750
yeah yeah a very specific one that one yes yeah

00:26:56.750 --> 00:27:00.299
um So I'm really excited to read that. It's a

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:02.859
novella, so it's short, but it's got, like, forbidden

00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:07.539
love, desires, fated soulmates, and, like, a

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:12.259
matchmaking fake fiancé, which sounds fun. Ooh,

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.980
that does sound fun. And I'm thinking that you'll

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:16.980
get to see some of the other characters from

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:19.539
the Passing Through Cafe series, which I love

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:23.500
because I, like, my favorite all -time team of...

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.000
like little weirdos I just love the every one

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.180
of those characters so much yeah we love a cameo

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:34.180
yeah yes um and then my third book I don't have

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:36.579
I have like next to no information on this because

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:38.839
I don't like reading spoilers about books so

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.029
I'm just going off of what Storygraph has But

00:27:42.029 --> 00:27:44.069
it was recommended to me because I decided I

00:27:44.069 --> 00:27:45.890
wanted to do one of those, like, 12 books by

00:27:45.890 --> 00:27:48.109
12 friends recs. So, like, I reached out to some

00:27:48.109 --> 00:27:50.289
people, but I never reached out to 12. And I

00:27:50.289 --> 00:27:53.470
have, like, maybe six recs. You did your best.

00:27:54.710 --> 00:27:58.549
I honestly forgot about it. It's ADHD. Yeah.

00:27:58.630 --> 00:28:02.049
I'm still going to read the recs. So Carly, Carly

00:28:02.049 --> 00:28:05.630
Reads Clear, had recommended. I love Carly. Yeah.

00:28:05.650 --> 00:28:09.460
We all love Carly. Hi, Carly. Hi, Carly. I will

00:28:09.460 --> 00:28:11.480
see you soon. We should have timed it together

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:13.619
so we could all say it in one. Let's do it. I

00:28:13.619 --> 00:28:16.779
can edit it. We can edit it in. Or we could just

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:21.380
say it now. Okay. One, two, three. Hi, Carly.

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:27.079
You all sucked at that. You should be ashamed.

00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:35.670
I thought it was cute. We did our best. She recommended

00:28:35.670 --> 00:28:38.549
Heart by Jessie H. Rain, and that's been on my

00:28:38.549 --> 00:28:40.730
TBR for a while. I actually just got the audio,

00:28:40.970 --> 00:28:42.529
I think. You need to tell me what it's like.

00:28:46.190 --> 00:28:49.829
I'm excited for it. It's an obsessive swoony

00:28:49.829 --> 00:28:54.210
stalker romance with a broken boy and all the

00:28:54.210 --> 00:28:58.130
green flags. Broken boy, broken boy. Sign me

00:28:58.130 --> 00:29:01.099
up. I'm really excited for it. So I did get the

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:05.240
audio of this. You went balls to the wall on

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:08.599
that audible sale. I'm going to go back. I'm

00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:13.059
going to go back in for seconds. Good for you.

00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:18.460
Yeah, balls to the other wall. Katie's hitting

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:23.420
every wall. My balls will be bruised after this.

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:27.140
It'll be great. Can we edit that part out? I

00:29:27.140 --> 00:29:32.299
don't have balls. Listen, anytime someone asks,

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.880
can we edit this out? It's staying in. I was

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:38.779
going to say, there's a 75 % chance that no,

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:44.180
we can't edit it out now. Dang. All right. Well,

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:46.920
those are my TBR books. I'm very excited to read

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:51.730
Heart and all the other ones. Yeah. I can't wait

00:29:51.730 --> 00:29:54.029
for you to tell me all about it. Yes. Oh, I'll

00:29:54.029 --> 00:29:58.690
be in your DMs, all of you. Excellent. Well,

00:29:58.809 --> 00:30:01.250
we are going to hand things over now to Megan,

00:30:01.369 --> 00:30:06.410
who has prepared a delightful deep dive for us

00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:13.529
on Femboy. Yay! Thank you so much for that introduction,

00:30:13.829 --> 00:30:18.640
JD. You are so welcome. So. As I said, let's

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.019
talk about femboys in queer romance books. Let's

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:24.839
do it. Yes. Let's do it. So as we all know, and

00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.579
as other people in the community have also known

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:29.839
and seen and experienced, it is becoming more

00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.980
common for femboys, femboy characters to be in

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:38.779
romance books, which we love. We love to see.

00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.539
And basically it's just, it's characters who

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:46.619
are either male or mask aligned who present.

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:48.500
This could be done in like the form of wearing

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:51.579
makeup or wearing feminine clothing or even just

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:54.599
something as feminine mannerisms and physique

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.670
or the way they talk. Because as we know. Clothes

00:30:58.670 --> 00:31:04.369
do not equal gender. It's so true. And so authors

00:31:04.369 --> 00:31:09.049
who are including feminine men in their books,

00:31:09.089 --> 00:31:11.569
they aren't doing it as a fetishization of queer

00:31:11.569 --> 00:31:13.609
men. They aren't doing it because they wish they

00:31:13.609 --> 00:31:15.890
were writing an MF romance. They aren't doing

00:31:15.890 --> 00:31:19.369
it because it's what's popular. They're not doing

00:31:19.369 --> 00:31:23.130
it as a kink. These are actual human men that

00:31:23.130 --> 00:31:26.299
exist in. real life not the characters but it

00:31:26.299 --> 00:31:31.240
is a gender non -conforming identity yes yeah

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:35.099
very a very real gender non -conforming identity

00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:38.900
that exists in the real world can i jump yes

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:45.440
go ahead yeah uh so hi uh i'm kit So I've discussed

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.359
this before, but I am transmasc and I do actually

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:53.000
identify as a femboy sometimes. So, yeah, this

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:56.720
is, yeah, I am a real person. Hi. Hi. Hi, real

00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.980
person kit. They do exist. Yeah. And I'd love

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:04.220
to talk about, like, why and what it's like for

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:07.039
me and why I think people do it just really quickly.

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:10.019
Yeah. Because, yeah, because here's the thing,

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:11.759
like, okay, first off, gender is something to

00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:14.460
play with. in my view and i think in a lot of

00:32:14.460 --> 00:32:17.720
people's views we're past the point where a lot

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.019
of people believe in these very strict gender

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:22.440
roles and you can't go outside of them i mean

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.740
women have worn gnc clothes for a long time now

00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:27.940
you know there was a time where women couldn't

00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:30.839
have worn trousers but we are past that time

00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.740
and it men are starting to and mask people are

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:40.400
starting to be much more excepted when they explore

00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.380
as well and wear clothes that are considered

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:45.940
traditionally feminine because clothes do not

00:32:45.940 --> 00:32:48.880
have a gender they do not and this is so we play

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:53.400
with it and we experience things and it's not

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.470
a trans identity but it is about for a lot of

00:32:57.470 --> 00:33:00.410
people it's about seeking that gender euphoria

00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:03.029
um in their clothes because here's the thing

00:33:03.029 --> 00:33:05.569
cis people can experience it too and that's what

00:33:05.569 --> 00:33:07.069
i'm looking for because so much of the trans

00:33:07.069 --> 00:33:11.269
experience is about your dysphoria yes yep wearing

00:33:11.269 --> 00:33:13.829
the right thing can be that euphoric experience

00:33:13.829 --> 00:33:17.150
and i wear a lot of mask stuff that's or androgynous

00:33:17.150 --> 00:33:19.529
stuff that's where i feel most comfortable but

00:33:19.529 --> 00:33:22.789
sometimes you know what men are masked people

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:25.599
We want to feel glam too. We want to feel cute

00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:28.220
too. And a lot of those kind of clothes tend

00:33:28.220 --> 00:33:30.880
to be traditionally more feminine. Or makeup.

00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:34.440
Makeup is a fun thing. It's transformative. It's

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.759
empowering in a lot of ways. It's a fantasy.

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:39.420
It's a mask. It can make you feel really strong.

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:41.700
And I'm sure a lot of people, feminine people,

00:33:41.859 --> 00:33:45.200
understand that too. And as men and masc people,

00:33:45.339 --> 00:33:49.279
we can enjoy playing with that as well. Makeup

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:54.779
also has no gender. Surprise! so I think that's

00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:58.140
where for me it comes from it's that fucking

00:33:58.140 --> 00:34:02.099
with gender exploring how the two can mix together

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:04.980
because I am never a feminine gender I am always

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:08.260
masculine or gender neutral I just enjoy presenting

00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:11.280
sometimes in ways that feel more traditionally

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:14.000
feminine also because the waistlines on feminine

00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:18.320
clothing tend to be less restrictive and much

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:23.230
more comfortable So that's why I do it. It's

00:34:23.230 --> 00:34:24.489
not gonna be the same reason for every femme

00:34:24.489 --> 00:34:27.170
boy. But that's why I do it. Thank you. Yeah,

00:34:27.230 --> 00:34:29.730
thanks, Kit. This is why it's important to also

00:34:29.730 --> 00:34:32.610
have these type of characters in queer romance.

00:34:32.710 --> 00:34:36.190
Because not only is it representation, but it

00:34:36.190 --> 00:34:40.070
also helps other people kind of understand or

00:34:40.070 --> 00:34:44.289
learn or maybe see themselves in that character,

00:34:44.429 --> 00:34:46.900
you know. And also shows that, yeah, like you

00:34:46.900 --> 00:34:50.119
said, you don't have to be one way. You can be

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.699
whatever whatever way you are. You can be right.

00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:58.699
Yeah. So true. It's becoming more common, though,

00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:07.599
for mask presenting and male. men there are a

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:12.599
lot of male men right now who are starting to

00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.159
feel more comfortable yeah with their fem identities

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.179
well it's yeah it's just becoming more common

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:20.420
for them to be able to to explore more that side

00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:23.519
of them and i think shaming an author for writing

00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:26.000
that and i think shaming a person in general

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:29.000
for doing that is just we that you you might

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.489
as well be a transphobe in my my book yeah official

00:35:32.489 --> 00:35:38.329
um so where did i leave off um this is our public

00:35:38.329 --> 00:35:44.030
service announcement yeah stop doing that yeah

00:35:44.030 --> 00:35:50.869
check yourself um yeah so basically at the end

00:35:50.869 --> 00:35:54.550
of the day femme boys they are not a fetish they

00:35:54.550 --> 00:35:58.150
are not a feminization kink which it could they

00:35:58.150 --> 00:36:00.719
could be it could be a thing but Just because

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:02.420
someone's femme doesn't mean they want their

00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:08.579
parts referred to as a pussy. They can also wear

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:11.599
lingerie and not be considered a femme boy. Like

00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:15.239
Kit said, they're not trans. They're not always

00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.800
trans. They're not enby. They can be cis. They

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:21.340
can be straight. They can be queer. We don't

00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:26.320
make assumptions. With all that said, let's talk

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.219

Lindsay is book six in the Irons and Works series,

00:37:52.250 --> 00:37:54.570
which is one of my favorite found family series.

00:37:55.170 --> 00:38:01.929
So good. But it features a bisexual, deaf, and

00:38:01.929 --> 00:38:08.269
femme character named Amit. And he's just such

00:38:08.269 --> 00:38:12.610
a delight. He has to hide that part of himself

00:38:12.610 --> 00:38:17.280
from his conservative family. But he meets Miguel,

00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:24.340
who really sees him and lets him shine. Yay!

00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:28.300
Yeah, it's really, really sweet. Amit wears skirts

00:38:28.300 --> 00:38:31.599
and lingerie and makeup, and he's just absolutely

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:34.460
adorable. I love him, and I love that book. It's

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:40.579
so sweet. Also, in that book, Miguel... has a

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:46.179
split tongue which i don't find very often in

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:51.460
books and it is oh my goodness it's very hot

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:55.360
he puts it to good can you imagine a blowjob

00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:01.559
with a split tongue did you know that when you

00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:04.980
split your tongue like that down the middle Each

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:08.519
side moves independently. Yep. You have control

00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:14.400
of both sides. Yep. Anyway, if that entices you

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:18.320
further, great. The second one that I wanted

00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:20.980

I had a foot awakening. They just always knew.

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:23.539
Yeah. This one has a really great foot fetish

00:43:23.539 --> 00:43:27.519
in it. Yes, it does. So we have Angel, who is

00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:31.420
a teddy bear. Sweet, sweet teddy bear Angel.

00:43:31.659 --> 00:43:34.610
Yes. Yeah. He's like, he's just this really sweet,

00:43:34.670 --> 00:43:39.170
gentle giant. He's Reese's brother's friend from,

00:43:39.210 --> 00:43:41.250
I guess, from high school. They were in football

00:43:41.250 --> 00:43:46.829
together. Nope, don't have to sneeze. Okay. He's

00:43:46.829 --> 00:43:49.489
like this quiet, sweet cinnamon roll who is just

00:43:49.489 --> 00:43:53.530
kind of taken and enamored by Reese. But he doesn't

00:43:53.530 --> 00:43:56.110
understand why. He's, you know, he's a sweet

00:43:56.110 --> 00:43:58.429
little virgin who still lives with his mama.

00:44:00.380 --> 00:44:03.579
and then we have Reese who is one of the cam

00:44:03.579 --> 00:44:06.519
boy friend group and he's this like small fierce

00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:11.019
Femboy, who left home at 18, as tends to be kind

00:44:11.019 --> 00:44:13.760
of a theme in the Femboy books, is like his family

00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.500
doesn't know him as Reese, the feminine dresser

00:44:17.500 --> 00:44:20.159
who dyes his hair every week. His family knows

00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:23.719
him as Ricky. And he left home at 18 and went

00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:29.380
off to do his thing to become himself. He's a

00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:33.150
pole dancer. He's a power bottom. And he loves

00:44:33.150 --> 00:44:35.809
makeup and fashion. And like I said, changes

00:44:35.809 --> 00:44:38.510
his hair color every week. He has beautiful long

00:44:38.510 --> 00:44:41.550
hair. Yes. Beautiful long hair and wears beautiful

00:44:41.550 --> 00:44:47.110
platform shoes. Yes. He has a very sexy heel

00:44:47.110 --> 00:44:49.789
collection, which you get to see in this book.

00:44:53.610 --> 00:44:56.710
So, yeah. Reese returns home at the beginning

00:44:56.710 --> 00:44:58.949
of the book for his dad's birthday party. And

00:44:58.949 --> 00:45:01.690
that's where he runs into Angel. In a vulnerable

00:45:01.690 --> 00:45:04.570
moment, Reese tells Angel about what he does.

00:45:04.769 --> 00:45:08.789
And Angel, for some reason, tends to become very

00:45:08.789 --> 00:45:12.449
interested and intrigued by it. And one thing

00:45:12.449 --> 00:45:15.730
leads to another. And next thing we know, Angel's

00:45:15.730 --> 00:45:19.349
going to be joining Reese for some videos where

00:45:19.349 --> 00:45:26.500
he's doing a... Where it is a... um well angel

00:45:26.500 --> 00:45:29.059
thinks it's a gay for pay situation i was gonna

00:45:29.059 --> 00:45:32.159
say it's it's technically a gay for pay but that's

00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.900
not actually true because surprise surprise yeah

00:45:37.900 --> 00:45:43.619
it's a gay awakening book yes and it's yeah poor

00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:48.320
angel's just like so obsessed and not not obsessed

00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:51.190
but he's just like enamored is the word right

00:45:51.190 --> 00:45:53.590
he's just enamored yeah captivated i would use

00:45:53.590 --> 00:45:57.110
that yeah yeah captivated by reese and he poor

00:45:57.110 --> 00:46:00.429
sweet baby just doesn't know why but he just

00:46:00.429 --> 00:46:02.110
wants to be with him and he wants to talk to

00:46:02.110 --> 00:46:04.630
him but he's straight and he can't understand

00:46:04.630 --> 00:46:07.570
uh his feelings why he's feeling like that yeah

00:46:07.570 --> 00:46:12.190
yeah and so the tropes from this are the gay

00:46:12.190 --> 00:46:16.000
awakening it's a virgin mc it's got First time,

00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:19.420
size difference. Is it standalone? No, it's the

00:46:19.420 --> 00:46:21.780
third book in the series. You can read it as

00:46:21.780 --> 00:46:24.559
a standalone. You can. It's like those other

00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.000
series, right? You can read it as a standalone,

00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:28.760
but technically it's the third in the series.

00:46:29.469 --> 00:46:31.710
Yeah, each book in the series you could technically

00:46:31.710 --> 00:46:33.889
read as a standalone, but they're better together

00:46:33.889 --> 00:46:36.110
because it's sort of a found family situation.

00:46:36.210 --> 00:46:39.190
So all of the friends are in each other's books.

00:46:39.269 --> 00:46:42.690
And if you don't know them, it's just less enjoyable,

00:46:42.809 --> 00:46:45.630
but still very, very enjoyable, no matter which

00:46:45.630 --> 00:46:47.949
one you pick. Yeah, they're all really good.

00:46:48.170 --> 00:46:51.389
Yeah. And this one's relatively low angst. Reese

00:46:51.389 --> 00:46:54.590
does start having feelings for Angel. Even though

00:46:54.590 --> 00:46:56.170
he's like, can't catch feelings, can't catch

00:46:56.170 --> 00:46:59.829
feelings, you know. Lots of whining. He just

00:46:59.829 --> 00:47:01.889
doesn't want to break his own heart because he

00:47:01.889 --> 00:47:04.710
thinks that Angel is straight. Yeah. Straight.

00:47:04.809 --> 00:47:07.989
Yeah. But some of the kinks in this are, as we

00:47:07.989 --> 00:47:10.630
said, shoe and foot fetish. There's quite a bit

00:47:10.630 --> 00:47:14.530
of come play, including felching. Obviously,

00:47:14.530 --> 00:47:17.329
exhibitionism because they perform all their

00:47:17.329 --> 00:47:21.670
stuff on camera. um 69 which we love and then

00:47:21.670 --> 00:47:23.590
i want to read a few quotes from the book that

00:47:23.590 --> 00:47:26.329
i love i was sending these to the group chat

00:47:26.329 --> 00:47:31.389
last night i love this book so much and they're

00:47:31.389 --> 00:47:33.670
both from angel talking to reese and it just

00:47:33.670 --> 00:47:36.210
it touches my heart because it's angel being

00:47:36.210 --> 00:47:40.349
so lovely so the first one is no Reese you were

00:47:40.349 --> 00:47:42.969
made to shine you should never hide how bright

00:47:42.969 --> 00:47:47.289
and beautiful you are I love I love the way that

00:47:47.289 --> 00:47:50.489
he sees Reese like he's I love who immediately

00:47:50.489 --> 00:47:53.070
in the beginning he's just like so captivated

00:47:53.070 --> 00:47:56.510
and awed by Reese and how like unapologetically

00:47:56.510 --> 00:48:00.230
him he is and he just thinks that Reese is so

00:48:00.230 --> 00:48:04.750
perfect in every way he really shows that in

00:48:04.750 --> 00:48:07.449
in every interaction that they have together

00:48:07.449 --> 00:48:10.510
and the second quote is i'll never let anyone

00:48:10.510 --> 00:48:13.730
hide you away or cover you up or make you less

00:48:13.730 --> 00:48:17.250
than you truly are yeah i chose this because

00:48:17.250 --> 00:48:19.110
yeah because it's just like that's how that's

00:48:19.110 --> 00:48:21.789
how this is how people should be treated by yes

00:48:21.789 --> 00:48:26.099

I think he's interpersonal. Exactly. Exactly.

00:50:03.940 --> 00:50:07.139
And he's he's another giant teddy bear who is

00:50:07.139 --> 00:50:10.260
covered in gorgeous, colorful tattoo. He's the

00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:13.000
oldest of the Curse Breakers in this group. So

00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.900
he's got he's got gray in his hair. He's buff

00:50:15.900 --> 00:50:19.739
as fuck. He's yummy. Is it an age gap? Yes, it's

00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:24.219
an age gap. So his newest job is helping out

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:27.440
a down on his luck cam boy. Oh, man, I got the

00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:31.980
cam boys in this. down on his luck cam boy named

00:50:31.980 --> 00:50:36.880
liam and uh poor liam is uh basically he's being

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:41.059
stalked and he's just literally everything in

00:50:41.059 --> 00:50:45.719
his life is cursed um and i think it's in book

00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:48.539
two that he goes to the curse breakers inc to

00:50:48.539 --> 00:50:50.539
try to get help and then they're in the middle

00:50:50.539 --> 00:50:54.500
of something important and yes i was just gonna

00:50:54.500 --> 00:50:57.079
ask is this the guy from the club or from the

00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:02.260
the fight ring oh my god okay yes he shows up

00:51:02.260 --> 00:51:04.619
like basically asking for help and then they

00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:07.440
have to turn him away and so because they're

00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.260
a bit busy they're a little bit busy rude well

00:51:12.260 --> 00:51:14.199
that's that's exactly what daddy thought fix

00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.480
that daddy fixed like couldn't stop thinking

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.130
about the boy that showed up And they had to

00:51:19.130 --> 00:51:22.469
turn away. And so he hunts him down, figures

00:51:22.469 --> 00:51:25.690
out who he is, and shows up at his door to fix

00:51:25.690 --> 00:51:31.809
things. I love this. I know. And so Liam is hesitant

00:51:31.809 --> 00:51:34.469
at first. First off, because he doesn't think

00:51:34.469 --> 00:51:36.909
he can afford it. And also, it's kind of hard

00:51:36.909 --> 00:51:39.170
when it's hard for you to reach out, and then

00:51:39.170 --> 00:51:40.489
you finally do, and then you get turned away.

00:51:40.869 --> 00:51:45.389
You kind of are resistant to it at first. Yeah,

00:51:45.409 --> 00:51:48.590
it makes you shrink back. exactly and so that's

00:51:48.590 --> 00:51:52.070
what poor Liam does and he turns fix away but

00:51:52.070 --> 00:51:55.250
fix won't be deterred and shows up at Liam's

00:51:55.250 --> 00:51:57.909
house when Liam's gone and breaks all the curses

00:51:57.909 --> 00:52:03.429
oh my god yeah yeah and so Liam shows up at the

00:52:03.429 --> 00:52:07.090
curse breakers office pissed off being like like

00:52:07.090 --> 00:52:10.659
you broke my curses like and trying to pay for

00:52:10.659 --> 00:52:13.099
him but fix is like no don't let him pay for

00:52:13.099 --> 00:52:17.699
it like oh my gosh um yeah so yeah so liam is

00:52:17.699 --> 00:52:20.019
the femme boy and he's like i said he's a cat

00:52:20.019 --> 00:52:23.659
cam boy he's also like a you know sad boy and

00:52:23.659 --> 00:52:26.199

00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:32.079
boy yes he is baby girl yes he is he is the definition

00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:38.239
of baby girl yes he also is a dog daddy He has

00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:42.000
his rescue baby named King. Oh, I used to have

00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:44.239

00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:49.320
whole world. Aww. You'll love this dog. A what?

They're so cute and they're so sweet. Aww. Yeah.

00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:03.519
This is another book where it's the perfect blend

00:53:03.519 --> 00:53:07.059
of spice and sweet. As we know, A .M. Rose is

00:53:07.059 --> 00:53:10.159
great at writing tender, emotional relationships,

00:53:10.239 --> 00:53:15.159
but also having the spice in there and having

00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:21.219
the funny moments. The way they balance everything

00:53:21.219 --> 00:53:25.940
is just so great. I was just thinking about book

00:53:25.940 --> 00:53:30.139
one in this series yesterday. my ash my baby

00:53:30.139 --> 00:53:37.860
yes and like uh with liam being a femboy it's

00:53:37.860 --> 00:53:40.320
just kind of it's a great part of his character

00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:44.059
and nobody really gives him shit for it it's

00:53:44.059 --> 00:53:46.659
just yeah it's a fantastic part of his character

00:53:46.659 --> 00:53:49.179
and it's just there yeah it's like it's like

00:53:49.179 --> 00:53:53.030
a normative thing to them yes which i love yeah

00:53:53.030 --> 00:53:55.730
again queer normative best kind of universe yes

00:53:55.730 --> 00:53:59.389
best best best yeah and this one he doesn't have

00:53:59.389 --> 00:54:02.349
like a family that he's trying to you know hide

00:54:02.349 --> 00:54:05.409
himself from he's just who he is like there's

00:54:05.409 --> 00:54:07.929
a scene i read last night where he's talking

00:54:07.929 --> 00:54:09.829
is it's just a scene that's talking about him

00:54:09.829 --> 00:54:11.750
getting ready and it talks about how he puts

00:54:11.750 --> 00:54:14.130
on his makeup and then he puts on these really

00:54:14.130 --> 00:54:18.329
pretty thigh high um tights that have little

00:54:18.329 --> 00:54:21.250
pink bows on the back and puts you know wears

00:54:21.250 --> 00:54:23.829
like these jeans shorts and this soft buttery

00:54:23.829 --> 00:54:26.829
sweater and i was just like oh i love this moment

00:54:26.829 --> 00:54:30.949
they just explained him getting ready and like

00:54:30.949 --> 00:54:32.889
you know nobody was like why is that man wearing

00:54:32.889 --> 00:54:37.329
women's clothing you know yeah yeah i won't give

00:54:37.329 --> 00:54:41.070
too much away um but basically uh it's a slow

00:54:41.070 --> 00:54:44.269
burn to get daddy fix it's insta lust but it's

00:54:44.269 --> 00:54:48.300
a slow burn to get daddy fix and liam to finally

00:54:48.300 --> 00:54:53.739
start acting on these feelings and fix is a daddy

00:54:53.739 --> 00:54:56.900
who will be gentle and caring and sweet and concerned

00:54:56.900 --> 00:54:59.920
outside the bedroom but inside the bedroom he

00:54:59.920 --> 00:55:06.239
will pound you into the mattress oh my okay he

00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.659
will restrain you and this is what is what liam

00:55:09.659 --> 00:55:12.440
wants right so he will restrain you and he will

00:55:13.369 --> 00:55:16.690
give it to you use his size against you in the

00:55:16.690 --> 00:55:21.090
best way yep oh and there's like there's a scene

00:55:21.090 --> 00:55:24.829
where liam is is on camera and fix is behind

00:55:24.829 --> 00:55:29.210
the camera and it's just oh yes i love now that's

00:55:29.210 --> 00:55:31.690
a micro trope i would love to see yeah right

00:55:31.690 --> 00:55:36.070
we have that in always watching oh yeah by rs

00:55:36.070 --> 00:55:39.300
mckenzie and lee mccormick Yes. I'm taking notes.

00:55:41.059 --> 00:55:44.860
It's so good. Yeah. Katie's in her dark romance

00:55:44.860 --> 00:55:47.739
era. So this absolutely must be on your list.

00:55:47.820 --> 00:55:50.840
It's one of my favorites. I've actually been

00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:52.539
thinking about rereading that one recently. Me

00:55:52.539 --> 00:55:55.320
too. Me too. How dark is that? We'll talk about

00:55:55.320 --> 00:56:00.760
it later. Let's not get into it now. Yeah. So

00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:02.380
like I said, this one's got size difference,

00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:09.389
age gap, tattooed fix. found family like one

00:56:09.389 --> 00:56:13.670
of the best found family books series ever um

00:56:13.670 --> 00:56:20.610
yeah and then exhibition of exhibition exhibitionism

00:56:20.610 --> 00:56:29.469
as i say that again exhibitionism bondage um

00:56:29.469 --> 00:56:33.739
it's another one that's a part of series technically

00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:37.039
can be read as a standalone but i would read

00:56:37.039 --> 00:56:38.539
it in order because there's an overarching plot

00:56:38.539 --> 00:56:41.159
yes exactly there's an overarching yeah exactly

00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:45.119
so um read and plus the other two are so good

00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.159
anyway um yes also that there is there is angst

00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:54.079
there's quite a lot of it yeah but it it'll hurt

00:56:54.079 --> 00:56:56.559
but you'll love it it'll feel it'll feel yes

00:56:56.559 --> 00:56:58.840
it'll be worth it yeah i love when it hurts a

00:56:58.840 --> 00:57:06.679
little yeah well this will hurt a lot all I'm

00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:08.320
ready. We need a sticker of that with an axel

00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:14.059
waffle. And then the last one I'm going to talk

00:57:14.059 --> 00:57:17.019
about is Breakfast at Bennett's by E .M. Denning.

00:57:17.219 --> 00:57:20.059
Oh, yeah. And this one I just read a couple weeks

00:57:20.059 --> 00:57:23.119
ago on audiobook by Kurt Graves. Woo -woo, we

00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:27.000
love him. Yeah. And this is a low -angst series

00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.820
about a father and his three sons who own...

00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:34.440
and works slash used to work in a diner and they're

00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:38.659
the wife slash mom passed away years ago so each

00:57:38.659 --> 00:57:40.920
book is a different brother and then the last

00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:43.920
book is the dad all finding love and it's just

00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:46.659
such a sweet cozy like i said low angst series

00:57:46.659 --> 00:57:50.090
that is just When you want just queer joy of

00:57:50.090 --> 00:57:53.889
men finding their partners and experiencing what

00:57:53.889 --> 00:57:56.909
it's like to find love and fall in love and go

00:57:56.909 --> 00:57:59.329
on dates, this is a perfect series to read. I

00:57:59.329 --> 00:58:02.369
love cozy queer joy. That's my jam. Me too. That

00:58:02.369 --> 00:58:06.710
is Katie's jam. We have enough queer trauma in

00:58:06.710 --> 00:58:10.030
the world right now. Exactly. There's a place

00:58:10.030 --> 00:58:13.630
for queer trauma books. We love those too. It

00:58:13.630 --> 00:58:18.260
is nice to have a nice little sprinkling of Drama

00:58:18.260 --> 00:58:23.139
-free queer joy. Yeah, exactly. So books two

00:58:23.139 --> 00:58:26.639
and three in this series have femboys in them.

00:58:26.860 --> 00:58:29.380
So book number two is called The Jock, and it

00:58:29.380 --> 00:58:31.260
is Colby Bennett, who is one of the brothers.

00:58:31.619 --> 00:58:35.760
And then Milo Kennedy is a former drag queen

00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:41.159
whose ex -boyfriend kind of shamed him out of

00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:46.619
his femboy ways. No. Yes. So basically the book

00:58:46.619 --> 00:58:49.199
starts with Colby coming over to his dad's house

00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:51.000
and his youngest brother lives with his dad.

00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:54.119
And so he walks in on his youngest brother putting

00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:57.360
makeup on and dressing femme and his youngest

00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:59.480
brother Taylor freaks out and tells him to get

00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:02.179
out and starts being pissed at him and doesn't

00:59:02.179 --> 00:59:04.739
want Colby to see this side of Colby. Oh my God.

00:59:04.900 --> 00:59:07.099
I know. And poor Colby is just like trying to

00:59:07.099 --> 00:59:09.860
find a way to let him know that what Taylor's

00:59:09.860 --> 00:59:14.429
experiencing is normal and he supports him. And

00:59:14.429 --> 00:59:16.710
he loves him and he doesn't want Taylor to be

00:59:16.710 --> 00:59:18.769
mad at him for this. But Taylor's kind of like

00:59:18.769 --> 00:59:21.050
embarrassed and is just like pissed at him and

00:59:21.050 --> 00:59:22.630
won't talk to him. Yeah. Feeling vulnerable.

00:59:22.789 --> 00:59:25.809
Exactly. Feeling vulnerable about it. Colby is

00:59:25.809 --> 00:59:30.030
a CrossFit instructor and is at work one day

00:59:30.030 --> 00:59:33.369
when Milo shows up. And Colby notices that Milo's

00:59:33.369 --> 00:59:36.110
wearing makeup. And when they're talking about

00:59:36.110 --> 00:59:39.610
it, he brings it up and finds out that Milo used

00:59:39.610 --> 00:59:43.130
to. perform in drag so he kind of just like well

00:59:43.130 --> 00:59:47.389
can you help my brother like and explains the

00:59:47.389 --> 00:59:49.929
situation to Milo about what happened with Taylor

00:59:49.929 --> 00:59:53.929
and kind of sort of reluctantly Milo agrees because

00:59:53.929 --> 00:59:57.050
like I said Milo's ex had forced him to kind

00:59:57.050 --> 00:59:59.730
of turn away from that life from being a drag

00:59:59.730 --> 01:00:03.760
queen and from wearing makeup and clothing so

01:00:03.760 --> 01:00:05.820
it's really sweet though because he agrees to

01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:08.460
do it and he takes Taylor under his wing but

01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:11.179
so while helping Taylor he also kind of rediscovers

01:00:11.179 --> 01:00:14.719
and re -embraces that part of him and so it's

01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:16.599
just fun seeing them support each other while

01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:21.639
also getting over your asshole ex hell yeah and

01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:25.340
this is a queer awakening book where colby thought

01:00:25.340 --> 01:00:27.320
he was straight but then starts developing feelings

01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:29.840
towards milo and it's one of those things where

01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:32.420
the family is like uh dude we knew we knew you

01:00:32.420 --> 01:00:36.980
were straight i kind of always like when there's

01:00:36.980 --> 01:00:39.260
a when someone's coming out like and that happens

01:00:39.260 --> 01:00:42.260
in a book true story when i was younger um i

01:00:42.260 --> 01:00:43.880
like was trying to confess to my sister that

01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:45.840
i had feelings for like another girl that we

01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.960
knew and i remember like i we were in like the

01:00:47.960 --> 01:00:50.500
back of a car just hanging out and i was like

01:00:50.500 --> 01:00:51.679
i need to talk to you about something serious

01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:53.920
and i was like i was so emotional about it because

01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:56.079
i was really nervous and my sister's like yeah

01:00:56.079 --> 01:01:03.179
i know like it's very obvious to everyone i know

01:01:03.179 --> 01:01:06.039
my well my husband told me that i wasn't straight

01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:11.989
so yeah so it's such yeah when it happens in

01:01:11.989 --> 01:01:13.750
books like i don't know yeah to me that's just

01:01:13.750 --> 01:01:16.610
a real response to that whole situation right

01:01:16.610 --> 01:01:23.449
um in fact i was reading um am lindsey stick

01:01:23.449 --> 01:01:25.730
around yes thank you i was just gonna say stick

01:01:25.730 --> 01:01:29.489
around does that to you yeah jonah everybody

01:01:29.489 --> 01:01:32.989
knew exactly jonah's like i'm bi and i was like

01:01:32.989 --> 01:01:44.130
dude and then he's like oh so yeah so then but

01:01:44.130 --> 01:01:46.550
because of milo's past with his ex he's very

01:01:46.550 --> 01:01:49.210
hesitant at first to kind of get into something

01:01:49.210 --> 01:01:52.170
and also he's not sure he's like is colby gay

01:01:52.170 --> 01:01:57.590
or is he bi or is he straight or who knows everybody

01:01:57.590 --> 01:02:01.670
else except for milo and colby apparently um

01:02:01.670 --> 01:02:08.039
so yeah so the So that was that book. And then

01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:11.559
book three is Taylor's book, which I love because

01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:13.940
it's Taylor getting together with two of his

01:02:13.940 --> 01:02:16.579
brother's best friends who treat him like the

01:02:16.579 --> 01:02:21.559
princess he is. And that one's called The Princess.

01:02:22.300 --> 01:02:26.340
Sweet baby. Yeah. Taylor's a plant dad, which

01:02:26.340 --> 01:02:29.400
is like becoming one of my new favorite tropes.

01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:33.679
I just started a tag for plant dad. I wish I

01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:38.530
could be a plant dad. I'm a plant reaper. I'm

01:02:38.530 --> 01:02:43.070
trying. Not by me. The cats would eat the plants.

01:02:43.230 --> 01:02:47.650
I wouldn't eat them. I have a lot of plants in

01:02:47.650 --> 01:02:50.469
my house and I'm responsible for zero of them.

01:02:52.230 --> 01:02:57.230
Because... Nope. Death. But I do get to look

01:02:57.230 --> 01:02:59.510
at them and they're very pretty. I bought a zebra

01:02:59.510 --> 01:03:02.889
plant once and then I left it in the trunk of

01:03:02.889 --> 01:03:06.329
my car for a week. And it survived. It survived.

01:03:06.449 --> 01:03:09.389
They like the dark. I was going to say they like

01:03:09.389 --> 01:03:11.630
the dark, but maybe not that much dark. Yeah.

01:03:12.030 --> 01:03:14.170
And the heat, because this was like midsummer

01:03:14.170 --> 01:03:19.340
in Arizona, so like 100 plus. Okay. Oh. You really

01:03:19.340 --> 01:03:22.099
tried to kill it though. It survived on my desk.

01:03:22.179 --> 01:03:24.039
It worked for like another three months and then

01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:27.460
I over watered it and it. That's my problem.

01:03:27.579 --> 01:03:30.159
I over water my plants because I'm like, I want

01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:32.659
to fucking love you. Let me love you. That's

01:03:32.659 --> 01:03:35.880
not how you do it. She's waterboarding her plants.

01:03:35.980 --> 01:03:49.429
Love me. That's exactly it. Oh no. so who wrote

01:03:49.429 --> 01:03:51.969

01:04:02.190 --> 01:04:04.590
and brings in and gives a hot meal in the diner

01:04:04.590 --> 01:04:08.010
which also love that microtrope like the unhoused

01:04:08.010 --> 01:04:11.360

know how to end things. I don't know what to

01:06:31.219 --> 01:06:36.260
say now. Okay. Those magic tricks where you throw

01:06:36.260 --> 01:06:38.199
the powder on the ground and it's just smoke.

01:06:40.820 --> 01:06:43.840

just the normal pre -recorded outro things, right?

01:06:52.980 --> 01:06:55.139

when we do a different goodbye. So long. Goodbye.

01:06:57.820 --> 01:06:59.619
I don't remember the rest of the words to this

01:06:59.619 --> 01:07:02.300
song. So long. Farewell. That wasn't how it goes

01:07:02.300 --> 01:07:09.500
anyway. I used to not think it was a way to say

01:07:09.500 --> 01:07:11.579
that. I thought it was like, and we are saying

01:07:11.579 --> 01:07:16.260
goodbye. So long. Farewell. And we are saying

01:07:16.260 --> 01:07:22.099

01:07:45.989 --> 01:07:50.190
