Face Your Monsters, #1: Ew Emotions Ew!

Imagine you have a book on your shelf that’s been waiting to be read, but despite your desire to read it, it keeps getting pushed back and back...and back...until it’s been sitting there for years, lonely and ignored. Well, the three of us decided enough is enough! The time for avoidance is over and the time for reading is now! This week on Romancing the Monsters, we’re trying something new and facing the monsters of our TBR shelf, whether it's books we're scared will make us emotional, books with too much hype or simply books we're scared might've not aged well, we're about to take a leap and read them anyway! We invite you, our listeners, on this journey, pick an old book off your own TBR and read with us! Trigger warning: mentions of loss/death of loved ones, abusive environments, BSDM, attempted assault and kidnapping, derogatory term usage, false accusations, and separation from a loved one. Books mentioned: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon Friend-Zone by Belle Aurora Find us: E-mail—[email protected] Twitter—@theRTMpod Instagram—@romancingthemonsterspodcast TikTok—@Romancingthemonsterspod Youtube—Romancing the Monsters Podcast Find M: Instagram & Twitter—@foesandlovers Find S: Instagram & Twitter—@butthisbook Find Seff: Instagram & Twitter—@prosewithwoes Romancing the Monsters is a podcast that looks at the monster within: the shadow keeping the characters away from true and absolute happiness. This monster can be a prejudice, fear, insecurity, trauma and so on. We believe that romance novels are as much about one's personal journey as they are about finding love. After all, love makes us vulnerable and forces us to bare our monsters to another.
