RAAG on ROMANCE SEPTEMBER 2025
Welcome to February episode of Raag on Romance where Shani and Bridget chat about all things romance and podcast each month!
This week Shani reminisced about her older sister reading to her as a kid, how Bridget's kids get a huge haul of books from the library every week, and how Bridget is raising a little reader!
Shani and Bridget talk about the feeling of reading physical books vs Kindle vs audiobooks. And how Shani wants to find the first romance novel she ever read.
Bridget shares all the books she read in January of 2025, some alternative books to Onyx Storm, as well as shares upcoming books on her TBR, and upcoming author interviews!
Book on Bridget's TBR
It's a Love Skate Relationship by Carli J. Corson - Sapphic Enemies-to-Lovers hockey romance
Flirting with Disaster by Naina Kumar - Second-chance romance a la Reese Witherspoon classic Sweet Home Alabama
Out of the Woods by Hannah Bonam-Young - Rekindling love!
Books Bridget read in Jan 2025:
Gwen and Art Are Not in Love by Lex Croucher - DNF - Bridget reveals her goal to actually DNF books that aren't working for her. She thinks that this book could work really for some people but the Arthur character didn't work for her.
Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros - Book 3 of the Fourth Wing series. Bridget went into this book thinking it would be the end of a trilogy. Turns out, it is going to be 5 books! YIKES. The main character is waffling about you don't love me too much, there is way too much additional world-building and cultures added to book 3 that definitely could have been cut out, and generally, I was very disappointed.
Iron Widow - Xiran Jay Zhao - Bridget re-read book 1, Iron Widow, and is currently reading book 2 Heavenly Tyrant!
