It’s a whole new week and we are here to help you let it go while we talk about the queer romance that moves us all, jumping, dancing and running laps around our favourite apple orchard for our latest faves. We’ve got the best MM romance recs and you got to hear it under the sea at Rainbow Book Rats: A Queer Romance Podcast!

It’s a Rat Chat week here on Rainbow Book Rats: a Queer Romance Podcast. Brought to you by four feral besties who have left their book nests to nerd out about their latest reading recommendations with you, and as always on a Rat Chat episode of our queer podcast, we'll be discussing how our week went, how great the lgbtq romance books we read this week were, and what's on our book radar of new and upcoming queer romance.

JD is getting covered in goo with Yule Octopi My Heart by KL Hiers and Mozzarus Scout, Kit is going down where it’s wetter with an MM Little Mermaid retelling where the not so wicked (but very tentacled) sorcerer gets the guy in Drown Me Gently by Tereza Kane, Megan is living their lumberjack fantasy among the hulking guys in Pick Me by May Archer, and Caity is getting down on the ice with the coach in Home Ice by Saxon James.

Please do not drink ink.
