Ep 21: I Read an 80’s Cat Fantasy Novel So You Don’t Have Too!

Hello my feline comrades, and welcome to this month's novel recap. Is this Watership Down but with cats? Or is it more Lord of the Rings? Or is it more closely tied to our romance novels than you assume? The answer to all three is a riveting MEOW! I loved this novel so much, and will personally be writing a staunch letter to Tad Williams about my feelings towards the ending. But until then, get cozy on the bone throne and kick that hind leg up for a thorough cleaning as we purr over Tailchaser's Song. 11:03 Recap Begins!31:05 A Team is Assembled01:16:09 I'm Tired of Digging Grandpa!!!01:35:50 The Bone Throne02:05:10 Montana's State of MindTHIS CHANNEL IS AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY, iTUNES,ETC.

Ep 20: I Read Flowers in the Attic So You Don’t Have Too!

Y'all, she's an icon, she's a legend, she's every trigger warning you can think of. No, not me! Flowers in the Attic by VC Andrews! This Halloween I wanted to fulfill last year's request to cover this horrible, but beautifully written novel that has become a southern gothic staple. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, gird your loins because there is a reason everyone over the age of 35 shivers when they hear this book title. Instagram: montylee15Tips are appreciated!

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. Roll up your pants, take off your shoes, and let's wade into the beautiful waters of Indigo.0:00 Intro05:31 Patreon Info07:14 Initial Feelings for Novel08:02 Cover Discussion11:40 Fictional Author Lore17:23 American Girl Doll Drama19:50 Novel Begins!32:12 Hellooo Nurse1:03:51 New Neighbors1:31:29 All Fairytales Come to an End1:58:34 Keeping Enemies Close2:03:22 Ending/Audio Only2:17:31 Montana's State of Mind2:22:08 Next Month's Novel!!!Tips are appreciated for software subscriptions, book purchases, and hopefully an actual camera one day!Venmo: @Montana-David-15Cashapp: @$BlueBlossomFarm
