Not Another Heroine

Join Katie and Jordan, two friends who discovered similar reading habits and needed more time to talk books out of the office.

Hot and Bothered: What is a 'good' book?

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/10/18

This week, Katie and Jordan trigger each other over an instagram comment that essentially questions the quality of any and all romantasy books (quite the statement on a podcast almost exclusively dedicated to good romantasy books - yikes).Stay bothered, readers!

Pick of the Week: Reign & Ruin by J. D. Evans

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/10/16

In this week’s pick, something tragic almost happened - Jordan was on the verge of DNFing our newest fav book, Reign & Ruin by J. D. Evans. If you’re like Jordan (and Katie when she tried too!) and find yourself struggling, keep at it for the first 50 or so pages, and then the magic happens.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50607309-reign-ruinIf you’re looking for something similar (or are still being convinced to read it), take a look at:The Winner’s Curse by Marie

Pick of the Week: An Enchantment of Ravens by...

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/10/09

Katie gives likely the most lukewarm review of a book ever for An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson - "it was a book." In today's world of fast fashion publishing though, that's actually decent praise.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30969741-an-enchantment-of-ravensIf you're looking for something similar (and maybe better):Half a Soul by Olivia Atwaterhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60717747-half-a-soulA Fragile Enchantment by Allison

2024/10/07

Kidnap me, hill king! This week we kick off The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, a fixture in the fantasy romance genre , and perhaps some of the first-ever fan-fiction. Apparently, McKinley rage wrote this in response to an early 20th century novel called The Sheikh.https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/407813.The_Blue_Swordhttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-sheik-edith-maude-hull/1127775915

Hot and Bothered: Barnes & Noble Keeps it Spicy

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/09/27

This week Katie and Jordan share traumatic stories about their first accidental forays into erotica while discussing a new issue facing the book reading community - what's the real difference between romance and erotica, and do we need to change how either are marketed?Stay bothered, readers!

Pick of the Week: What I Did For a Duke by Julie Anne...

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/09/25

Jordan gets back to her roots this week with a fun, quirky, and not too serious regency romance - What I Did for a Duke by Julie Anne Long. While we're still not clear on what was done to get the duke, it's likely something naughty (especially since this is an open door romance!) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8430098-what-i-did-for-a-dukeIf you're looking for something similar, try anything by Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas or Sherry Thomas.

Hot and Bothered: Anti-Intellectualism

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/09/18

An easy, breezy Kindle Unlimited book is Katie’s pick this week - The Heir and the Spare by Kate Stradling. As Katie explains, “it’s a book,” so don’t get too excited (though to be fair, it was finished and had a surprisingly interesting twist at the end!)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57022919-the-heir-and-the-spareIf you're looking for something with similar vibes:Thorn by Intisar Khananihttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51265989-thornBitterblue by Kristin

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/09/11

Get your pumpkins out, readers, it's spooky season! And starting us off right, Jordan's pick this week is a new one for us both: contemporary horror romance. Despite the suggestive title, The Contortionist by Kathryn Ann Kingsley is all the right kinds of scary - and a 5 star read for Jordan!https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54995584-the-contortionistFor similar vibes (but maybe less spooky):Ninth House by Leigh Bardugohttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43263680-ninth-houseThe Cruel Prince by

It's a Good Morning America Book Club pick so not exactly our usual choice of books. Go into this story like you would a Hallmark movie and you'll have an enjoyable but mindless time. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199928276-the-love-of-my-afterlife

Pick of the Week: The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori

Not Another Heroine ·

2024/09/04

Katie undertakes the 2am drunk Taco Bell run that is Danielle Lori's mafia romance, The Sweetest Oblivion (somewhere off in the distance, Jordan scoffs at this title for the 37th time). Was it good? Eh. Was it edible? Also eh. Has Katie read it twice already? ... she pleads the fifth. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39083635-the-sweetest-oblivion

2024/09/02

We're finally closing out The Winner's trilogy. To be honest readers, we skimmed this last book so we're wrapping the whole thing up in one episode - or half an episode - we spend the majority of the second half discussing fanfic ideas, the golden age of romantasy, and The Aragorn Upgrade.https://www.goodreads.com/series/119513-the-winner-s-trilogy
