S02.10: Amnesia Romance Novels

Next week, we’re switching things up and running a full recommendation podcast! You asked us questions, and we’re recommending a metric romance ton of books! Don’t miss it!

In two weeks, we’re going to a classic of classics! The read was on both Jen & Sarah’s list—Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels, which is on the lions’ share of Best Romance Novels Ever lists. We’ll get into why. Read Lord of Scoundrels at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo or your local indie.

Show Notes

• Listen, it's Eric FONER. He's kind of a big deal.
• More about how brains develop.
• A twitter thread about Sarah's brain surgeon.
• The kind of Amnesia in books and movies isn't real, but in case you were wondering, all about global amnesia and aphasia.
• Jen & Sarah have seen the 80s version of Overboard 100 times, and the 2018 version no times.
• Speaking of Pregneisa... on the podcast I Don't Even Own a Television, these two guys mostly read it to make fun of it, but then listen to just this snippet of Jeb Lund TOTALLY GETTING ROMANCE.
• Kylie Scott does write about zombies, and threesomes, and rock stars, and getting with your Dad's best friend.
• Jen did write about Lies as an example of an Unreliable Narrator, but she still enjoyed the book!
• Jen couldn't locate the future/present/past thread on twitter, but this is a placeholder in case she ever does.
• No one liked that Chris Pratt movie.
• All about that incel bullshit.
• The Silent Towns is a short story by Ray Bradbury in The Martian Chronicles---which Jen really liked for the most part! Try There will Come Soft Rains instead.
• The Last Man on Earth is a TV show and While You Were Sleeping was a movie.
• Jen likes the scummy, sexy white boy thing Matthew McConaughey has going on.
• "Don't You Forget About Me" is the theme song to The Breakfast Club. No one had amnesia in the movie, they were just teenagers likely to be shitty to each other.
• What's Fair Use?
• Buy buttons from Kelly and shirts from Jordandené.
• Ashley from Southern California was blooded by The Duchess War by Courtney Milan
• Next week we're doing the first of our big romance recommendation podcasts, but get reading Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase -- it's our next read!
