Surprise! RACHEL IS BACK! Rachel takes a break from her busy life to guest host this episode with me so that we can celebrate the podcast officially being old enough for preschool. We're combining two of the classic podcast topics--romance novels and Taylor Swift--by stuffing your TBRs with recommendations inspired by Taylor's recent, controversial album THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL. We also drop loads of fun facts, talk himbos, and spread some conspiracy theories about Taylor's true identity. Enjoy the show!

LOTHAIRE Pt. 1; Pt. 2

Seven Days in June

Comrades! Today, I'm joined by Molly Tullis (aka The Bibliophile Blonde) to talk myths and legends and why the heck we can't stop retelling them. Also: the ethics of retellings and what gets called myth and what gets called religion. We also celebrate not being raptured, send a little love toward OG shadow daddy Hades, and recommend some of our favorite myth, legend, and folklore inspired romances. Enjoy the show!

Hey comrades! Today's episode is all about fangirling over happily ever afters, our favorite romance authors, and the revolutionary power of the romance genre--all with photographer Chandra Wicke, creator of The Happily Ever After Society, an upcoming coffee table book featuring photos and interviews from 41 romance authors as well as photos recreating scenes from some of your favorite romance books (seriously so cool!!). We also talk about the romance genre and feminism, romance as resistance, and Ali Hazelwood and Adriana Herrera's blockbuster After the End project. And of course, we each give you recs for romance books with HEAs that surprised us (seems like an oxymoron, but trust me!). Enjoy the show!

Comrades! Today I'm chatting about "older" heroines with queer writer, author of EVERY STEP SHE TAKES, and WRION veteran, Alison Cochrun. We talk about whether FMCs are getting older in romance, queer awakenings, and how we balance escapism and diversity in our reading. We also recommend some delicious romances with FMCs who are 30+ years. Enjoy the show!

Hey comrades! In this episode, I'm chatting about what the heck "historical accuracy" is anyway with my new favorite historical romance author (and 19th c. English lit professor) Alexandra Vasti, author of the upcoming sapphic romcom, LADIES IN HATING. We talk about falling into research rabbit holes, when to throw that research in the trash, and assign an appropriate amount of hate toward Georgette Heyer and the Victorians. And of course, we're stuffing your TBRs with our favorite historically accurate recs. Enjoy the show!

Hey pals! Welcome to another episode of We Read It One Night with Alison, featuring return co-host, Elodie! We're talking about listener suggestion WHEN A SCOT TIES THE KNOT by Tessa Dare, aka the historical romcom Queen. Watch what happens when the fake fiance that bluestocking artist Maddie made up ten years ago only to fake kill off because she felt guilty for lying to her family shows up at her Scottish Highlands castle, alive, real, and hunky! Tessa turns marriage of convenience, epistolary, fake dating, found family, and more of your fav tropes on their heads. All of this in between our in-depth chat into the state of Romance books today, including Tiktok, the rise and fall of historicals, fanfic, online community, and more. Plus, tons of bonus book recs scattered throughout the episode. Enjoy the show!
