This week we reviewed The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich a YA Romance:

Two princes from neighboring countries fall into a whirlwind royal romance in this sparkling spin on The Princess Diaries by Cale Dietrich. Jamie Johnson has never been the centre of attention, and he’s perfectly okay with that. His entire world unravels as a hidden truth emerges: he's the heir to the throne of Mitanor, a sun-drenched southern European country, and the press is ready to expose this secret to the world. An invitation to spend the summer in his father's palace arrives, giving Jamie a chance to get to know the man he never thought he’d meet. Meanwhile, in a northern European kingdom known for its cold climate and stoic royals, Erik Von Rosenborg, the spare prince, grapples with the upcoming marriage of his golden-boy elder brother. With the country’s spotlight trained on his family more than ever, Erik feels sidelined and tightly controlled. So when he receives an offer to tutor the newly found American prince in the ways of royalty, he accepts without hesitation. At a magnificent summer palace, Erik guides Jamie through the intricacies of royal etiquette, politics, and history. What neither prince anticipates is the connection that sparks between them—one that challenges both of their futures. Now each must make a choice: follow their hearts, or the time-honored royal path where crown and country reigns supreme, no matter the personal cost.

Happy Sunday!!

This week we had the opportunity to interview NYT Best selling author Abigail Owen.

Join us on this special episode as we finally discuss the last book in the Dominion series, The Shadow Rules All by Abigail Owens. In this episode, Sam and Morgan are together! So be prepared for chaos, tears, and us talking about going to the bookstore. Please keep in mind that this is the second part of reviewing this novel, last week's episode we reviewed the first half of the book.

About The Novel:

King Eidolon has taken everything. My throne, my Shadowraith, and even my kingdom. I am a queen with no one to rule, and a tattered army that's not even mine. And hope is fading fast. Now the shadows who once tormented Reven live within me, hissing and wheedling—and enticing me to betray my friends. Which could be deadly for us all. Because without the guy I fell for, without Reven, I am all shadows…and no light. And the Alignment is almost upon us—the culmination of centuries that have fueled a vengeful king’s festering rage. We’re outnumbered. We’re underpowered. And even if we could unleash the trapped goddesses, they would destroy the kingdom and everything in it.

This week has been tough, especially after the election results. There are a lot of people who are worried, stressed, and sad about the future.

But one thing you can be sure of is that this podcast is a safe space. Sam and Morgan have always read diverse books by diverse authors and have no plans to stop.

Regardless of your race, religion, or sexual orientation, you are welcome here. We want to create a community where everyone feels safe and accepted. This podcast is a place where everyone can have their voices heard. We believe that everyone should be allowed to share their stories and experiences. We strive to make this podcast an inclusive and welcoming space for all.

Spend some time taking care of yourself this week, whether it's walking, reading a book, or napping. It's important to remember that elections come and go, but the only thing that lasts is hope. We need to keep fighting for what we believe in even if it seems impossible to do so. We must remain hopeful that the future will be brighter.

So this week we decided to read something fluffy and romantic, and that book was It's Not Me, It's You by Alex Light! About The Novel:

Jackie Myers is a fraud. Or she might be a genius—the jury’s still out. The thing is, she secretly runs pleasebreakmyheart, a gone-viral account aimed at breaking hearts and ending relationships…. And she just used it to break up her insufferable eternal nemesis's picture-perfect relationship. Wilson is the buttoned-up, type-A assistant manager of her nightmares—but it turns out he’s also, apparently, a great boyfriend. So with her conscience (and paycheck) on the line, Jackie decides there’s only one thing to do: She’s going to help Wilson win his ex-girlfriend back. Which should be easy, considering Jackie hates him…right?
