    Welcome to our New Year Special (we think we can just about call it that). We invited Julia Boggio and Ed Crocker from the Two Lit Chicks podcast to join us in a discussion about their gateway fantasy romance books and give some recommendations based on some of their favourite books. There is a full list below of all the books discussed (spoiler - it's a lot!) and we also have an "uncut" version on our YouTube channel, which you can find along with our social media links here: https://linktr.ee/SFFRomCast if you would like to see Terry Pratchett corner, hear more general chat on things like audiobook reading habits, and find out about Ed's parrot. We're still discussing adult books so please carefully check the content and trigger warnings for each book on the authors website or Goodreads pages as some topics might be upsetting for some individuals. Additional warnings too for explicit language and a few spoilers, we tried to keep them as minimal as possible. We hope you enjoy it and can join us for Season 4 in April 2023!

    For the final episode of Season Three we are going out in dramatic style, talking about some of our favourite fantasy and sci-fi romances which feature one of the most popular romance tropes: Enemies to Lovers. A list of the books featured can be found below. There may be some plot point spoilers in our discussion of the books but as always with romance, we know there is going to be a HEA and our episodes aim to share the joy we take in following the characters on their journey towards it and prompt conversations exploring why SFF romance is so fantastic. These are adult romances, so warning for explicit language and please check content warnings for the book before listening if there are topics that you might find upsetting to hear about.
