Elsie Marrone joined me for this episode to read Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I really enjoyed it, and we discusses the book (part of the time) while also going on tangents about Jewish education, food, and collecting books (which is a way different hobby from reading books.) This episode is the third in season 2, which will feature all Jewish novelists and romance fans.Elsie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/ElsieMarroneRachel's Twitter: https://twitter.com/RachelFinstonGoodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58395057-sadie-on-a-plate?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=HJYmxqn4kj&rank=1Goodreads list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/184942._Good_Romance_Podcast_Reads_

For this episode, Princess Weekes joins me to talk about A Duke by Default by Alyssa Cole, the second in the Reluctant Royals series. I loved the book, and we talked about the themes and characters. Then we went totally off the rails and talked about representation, the CW, and a ton of other totally unrelated stuff.
