The Show
Is this a kissing book?
Of Swords and Soulmates features two couples (and sometimes more), with varying reading preferences and experiences, as they read, listen, and sometimes watch romantasy stories and discuss plot, fantasy elements, romance, spice, theories, and more. Join us for our non-expert opinions as we discuss, argue, rave, rant, and hopefully entertain. We may just help you find your next reading obsession or at least contribute to that TBR list!
Recent Episodes
Episode Sixty One
We’re back with a field report from Monsterotica Con and why this event has high energy and kindness. We’re also joined by guest author CD Rachels to talk about his path to writing male-male romance, and the push for queer romance.
Episode Sixty Two
Slapstick humor, self-aware tropes (yes, there was only one bed), a great narrator for the audiobook, and the surprisingly tender emotional core make this a read that was enjoyed by all of us.
Episode Sixty Three
we’re heading back to 1986 for a rewatch of Labyrinth,. We get into why Labyrinth still holds up, what feels dated, and what hits harder as an adult, especially the themes of consequences, forgiveness, and choosing who you want to be.
