Ep 17: I Read a Y2K Dirty Novel So You Don’t Have Too

Apparently the devil didn't go down to Georgia for a fiddle contest of souls, he went all the way up to Vancouver. In this month's novel, that honestly feels more like Monster High fan fic than anything, we meet not only hot, sexy mermen with daddy issues, but also tongueless vampires, bird people, demonic witches, and a violinist who should of minded her own business this entire novel. So flex those fins and practice your best Little Mermaid on the rock pose, we're diving into Soul Song! Instagram: Mldavid15 Tips are appreciated!

Ep 16: I Read a 90’s Dirty Novel So You Don’t Have Too!

GATHER ROUND LADDIES AND WEE LASSIES! If you think the Outlander series captured the Scottish Highlands in the most romantic way, you are mistaken. Like the Lochness Monster, this Scottish fairytale is mysterious but fascinating, a sparkle of fantasy in an otherwise gray and damp homeland. With elements of Snow White, Beauty an the Beast and Outlander all stitched together in a sheep stomach delicacy, you won't regret listening to this absolutely hilarious tale of what happens when you don't mind your own business with mobsters in New York and end up 500 years in the past, recounting Harrison Ford movies to a bunch of giant Scottish warriors. So grab your bagpipes and tie your kilt around, it's time for The Mirror and the Magic! Instagram: Mldavid15 Tips are appreciated!

Ep 15: I Read an 80’s Dirty Novel So You Don’t Have Too!

You think you know time travel? You think you've seen every iteration of a fish out of water scenario? You think you know the culture of being a horse girl??? You know NOTHING!!! Connie O'day has written a novel.. so profound...so insane... I'm not even sure how to write this description. Trust me when I say you will be absolutely floored listening to this recap. I advise you listen to this in your own home, in a safe space, because the reaction you will feel will be one to have in private. Grab your umbrella, your Irish whiskey, and let's ride the storm of Time Kept Promises together. Tips are appreciated!

Sunday Stories: The Case of the Missing Elvis

So, I'm trying something new here and thought it would be fun to share with y'all some of the articles I read in my many magazine subscriptions. Think of it as bite size coffee talk while we eat breakfast in our house dresses. Today's article is from the New Yorker, by Zach Helfand. He wrote this amazing piece and I always highly recommend you support and read the actual articles themselves, but if you do not have the time or privilege to do so, let me give you the synopsis. Now, grab a cup pf hot coffee and let me tell y'all about the weirdest custody case this side of the Brooklyn Bridge...

Ep 14: I Read a 90’s Dirty Novel so You Don’t Have Too!

Spring is almost here and y'all know what that means! Hades and Demeter are about to have to meet up at the Mt. Olympus parking lot to exchange little Persephone as per the custody arrangement. This month's novel is more than just a re-telling of the Greek myth every girl in a flower crown circa 2017 knew. It's one of the first retellings that we now take for granted since Madeline Miller's "Circe" popped off. This has been one of my favorite paperbacks to recap for y'all so please, gather up some figs to munch on, some olive oil to rub on, and a big goblet of ambrosia as I tell you the love story of Hades and Persephone...as well as the tragedy of Demeter and Kore. 0:00 Intro12:33 Triggers and Disclaimers15:06 Cover Art Discussion22:28 Fictional Author Lore26:42 Dazzling Brightness Begins!53:56 A Gift, or a Burden?01:25:34 Queen of the Underworld01:54:16 Poseidon's Palace02:21:45 New Plan! ...Again!02:36:59 Epilogue02:40:46 Montana's State of Mind02:48:26 Next Book!!!

Ep 13: I Read a 90’s Dirty Novel so You Don’t Have Too!

Happy Black History Month! To help celebrate, I wanted to give the spotlight to one of the best, and most famous of the historical romance authors, Beverly Jenkins. She not only gives us an American fairytale that could rival Cinderella, but also puts the "history" in historical romance. We will live, learn, and of course, love while I recap to y'all a wonderful story you're gonna think about every time you smell vanilla.

Ep 12: I Read a 90’s Dirty Novel so You Don’t Have Too!

It's 2025 baby and we are breaking into the future with this month's novel. Do you want a story that both encapsulates a Tennessee Williams play, a porno AND a Sylvia Plath book? Well look no further. In this story, we will ask ourselves about both the morality of war and body autonomy but also, what WOULD a zoo enclosure made to facilitate breeding for humans look like??? Grab your laser guns and biospheres, as we quantum leap into Firestar! 0:00 Intro/ Resolutions for 20257:35 Firestar ramblings12:24 Cover art description17:04 Fictional author lore21:17 Trigger Warnings/ disclaimers23:60 Firestar recap begins!43:27 All My Ex's Live in...Space51:55 You are the Father!01:03:07 A Thorn in My Paw01:22:23 Kidnapped by Aliens01:37:02 I'm a Slave 4 U01:52:41 Baby it's Cold Outside02:57:58 Montana's state of mind02:15:36 Next month's book!02:17:38 Bonus insane cow storyTips are appreciated for software subscriptions, book purchases, and hopefully an actual camera one day!Venmo: @Montana-David-15Cashapp: @$BlueBlossomFarm

Ep 11: I Watched Annabelle’s Christmas Wish so You Don’t Have Too!

Majority of y'all have never heard of this movie. A dozen can probably recall the poster. And maybe a few can even recall the actual movie. Well, no matter which herd you fall in, I'm here to recap this bittersweet Christmas tale to you. This is Sir Randy Travis' work of art, his masterpiece of theatre, his legacy. Lets grab us a table at the Cracker Barrel down by the highway (I'm ordering the dumplings) and put on an absolute GEM of a holiday movie to sob to while the waitress refills our sweet teas.
