Besties and the Books Podcast

We’re Ashley and Liz, two real-life besties who’ve loved books since we first learned to read, so naturally, we started a podcast! We would say the rest is history but in actuality, it's just the beginning. So come join us in the next chapter of our lives as we introduce ourselves, and laugh our way through the world of books with a focus on Fantasy, Romantasy, and Dark Romance. Of course we have love for all book genres, but those are our absolute favorites!

Ep 39 A VERY (unhinged) & CRINGY CHRISTMAS READ! 💚 ❤️

It’s officially Christmas season over here on the BATB Pod and Ashley and Liz are kicking off December with two “cringy” Christmas novellas that double as unhinged!

This go-around we dive into Mr. Jingle, a Christmas-themed paranormal monster romance by Layla Fae that (not unlike Full Sack) has unforeseen twists, turns, tentacles, and surprises around every corner!

Then we dive into a dark romance Christmas treasure, Hunted in Holly by Leann Belle. Think: primal play and dubious consent with hot Santa Claus and a badass FMC with Elsa powers.

In addition to these amazing holiday reads, we also have a fave and fail of the week featuring Christmas decorating, Lindsay Straube’s Split or Swallow being picked up by trad publishing as Kiss of the Basilisk, and a shout out to the Lights Out audiobook version. Oh, and a holiday smash or pass with an extra dose of hot Santa.

Ho ho ho!
