Ep. 35 - Harlequin Hijinks: Granny Smut Book Reports

from Badly Annotated Readers Society · host Jess & Hannah

Hey / hi / hello! For this episode, we did something of an experiment. Being romance readers, we have often wondered about the romance books that started it all... harlequin novels! That's right, those books your grandma always used to read? We wanted to know what they were all about. So we each chose a $3 harlequin novel from the thrift store to read and report back. And what a discussion it was! Come join us for fun, dramatic, and--dare I say--steamy stories!Leave us a review if you enjoyed hanging out with us!Socials & Such:Instagram: @badlyannotatedpodHannah: @thefriendlylibrarygoblinJess: @annotations.booksYouTube: @badlyannotatedpodEmail: [email protected] Link: https://badlyannotatedreaderssociety.buzzsprout.comMusic composed by Anika JahagirdarBird sounds from 20080528.forest.wind.soft.birds.flac by dobroide -- https://freesound.org/s/54746/ -- License: Attribution 4.0Send us Fan Mail
