19. Emergency Enrichment Recs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are you a fucking nightmare when you're bored? Well, knock that off; you have free will. But here are some recommendations for books I always read when I'm listless and bored, like a surly Victorian woman who's been locked in the attic, and like, that part is fine but it's fucking stuffy in here. Can I get a box fan and a little nosh; a little of everything would be great, thanks. THEY CUT DOWN THE TREE. The sick one 😭 it lived a life of brutality at the hands of humans, and once it succumbed to
18. A Good One / A Bad One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I'm tired; this is kind of short. I recorded and edited this really quickly, so we're going to find out if there are errors together! How nice! We have almonds and an alien child in a human suit, TV rules for being a good girlfriend, plus hugging, roller skating camp, autumn, stinky Worcester, devil pacts, and clerks.

I talk about dating, and torture, cocaine dolls, vampires with a greasy middle part, seaside lurking, someone hot wrecking the vibe, how feral I am for a man with a stutter, and a bunch of other stuff. Romance Recs for this week are all Mystery/Romantic Suspense books, mostly be
15. Too Much Stuff Romance Recs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My cup runneth over, with Pina Colada Celsius and these romance books that all have too much stuff. What kind of stuff? Pet pigs and child brides and truck stop strip shows and alien kings. If that sounds like a bad thing to you, you might just not like cool stuff. And hey, that's alright. I'm not really the authority on cool stuff. I'm 35 and love to sleep. I'm looking for my mini beef jerky sticks. I'm disappointed with my reading comprehension during a critical moment, and it's been 2 decades
