Going Hard in the Paint With Random Objects
Jess and Trisha are joined by delightful and insightful author Rebekah Weatherspoon to follow up on romance covers, discuss what makes a romance “fluffy,” and recommend some of our favorite fluffy reads.
This episode is sponsored by My One and Only Duke on audiobook, written by Grace Burrowes and read by James Langton; Dragonshadow by Elle Katharine White; and Book Riot Insiders.
News:
Join The Great Big Romance Read with us!! We’ll be talking about Pride on our December 16 episode, so read it on your Thanksgiving travels – or if you’re not traveling, read from the comfort of your home.
Rebekah mentioned the fine job that the ladies of Thirst Aid Kit has done highlighting Keanu Reeves. (Just FYI – if you keep scrolling, this will eventually get NSFW.)
This is the very thoughtful Daily Waffle post about romance covers that Trisha mentioned.
