over the last few years, our tastes have changed and our minds have been opened to the likes of bride by ali hazlewood and the hating game by sally thorne. this month we are reading the spanish love deception by elena armas. we talk tropes like workplace romance, one bed, enemies to lovers and big man x tiny woman. we also discuss disney adults, male characters as a mirror, Hilary Duff and the cost of baked goods at our local cafes. will this scintillating spanish love fest continue the theme or will it be more of a siesta than a fiesta? special things mentioned in the episode:

• BookTrib article
• GoodReads review - emma
• GoodReads review - cyra

in this podcast episode we are starting the year fresh and making brazen attempts to overhaul our lives and identities. our podcast book selection for January 2025 is Atomic Habits by James Clear. this is a book that promises to 'reveal practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones and master the tiny behaviours that lead to remarkable results'. we discuss our 2025 ins and outs, lofty reading aspirations, wellness and diet culture, gingerbread houses, spice tolerance, the TikTok bean soup fiasco and, of course, weigh in with our thoughts on Atomic Habits by James Clear. p.s. we hope you enjoy the rain ASMR (it was bucketing down when we recorded this episode).
