This week Ashley and Liz kick off the episode with some snow, a sword store, and a haunted Stanley Hotel (aka The Shining Hotel) fave and fail.
In previous episodes we discussed our “icks” (our most disliked book tropes), picked books to read that we thought each other would be “Icked out” by, and today, we finally discuss those books!
There’s small town cowboy romance with a side of mystery and karate! And gargoyles with magic and in-the-bedroom tail action. Did we end up loving the books or hating them? Sometimes you find good stories in unlikely places…
Last, we wrap it up with our signature smash or pass with a little Disney and a little Sarah J. Maas villian action. See you there!
