Summary

Woo! Alexis and Kimberly Lemming are here to recap King of Flesh and Bone by Liv Zander! It's a dark romance featuring a scrappy, oath-keeping midwife and a selfish, dramatic god of the dead. Did we mention it's pretty dark? WE LOVED IT SO HARD. But! Trigger Warnings: in this episode, we discuss death, suicide, murder, glib mentions of domestic abuse, very very dubious consent (at best), violence, sexual violence, and forced servitude, so take care. This is part one! Part two will be coming next week, but is up on Patreon now!

Bonus Content: WE ARE NOT WELL, startling like a cat, fear of book recs ruining friendships, gleefully following a psychotic god into his mind palace, redefining the meaning of eternity, and so much more!

Today (8/21/23) is the last day to bid on items in the Romance for Maui auction that was organized by Lucy Eden!

Our annual Patreon fundraiser is going to benefit Maui relief as well! From 8/21-9/18, we're going to double any new or increased Patreon pledges and split the donations between the Maui Fire Relief Fund and the Maui Food Bank. If you opt for an annual membership, you get 10% off, but we'll still double the first month's pledge as if it were paid in full!

0:00.0	Hey, this is Heaving Buses, the podcast where best friends recap romance novels while interrogating
0:15.7	themselves, having minor existential crises and cackling in the face of that sublime adventure.
0:25.7	Like many of you, I've had the people of Maui on my mind since it's been ravaged
0:29.9	by the wildfires. In case you missed it, Lucy Eden has organized a romance for Maui auction,
0:38.0	and there are some absolutely incredible items that you can bid on. And if you're listening
0:43.8	on release day, that's August 21st, this is the very last day that you can bid. I'm going to link
0:51.0	that in the show notes for you. And I've decided that we're going to do our annual Patreon fundraiser
0:58.9	to benefit Maui relief organizations. So from now until September 18th, anyone who signs up
1:06.9	as a new patron or increases their current pledge, we will double that amount and donate it to help
1:14.2	the people of Maui recover. So for example, if you sign up as a $5 patron, you get access to those
1:22.6	170 bonus episodes that we have in our back catalog, and we donate $10. If you're currently a
1:30.2	patron, you can increase and we will double that amount. So if you go from being a $10 patron
1:37.4	to a $20 patron, we'll donate 40. And you can still get the 10% annual discount. But if you decide
1:47.0	to pay annually, I do not apply that discount to the donation total. So if you sign up for an
1:53.4	annual membership at the $15 level, you still get a $10 discount, but we will donate $30.
2:02.3	The organizations will be splitting the donations between are the Maui food bank and the Maui
2:08.7	fund. Being born and raised there, it's especially heartbreaking to see just how devastating these
2:17.6	have been. So if you've been on the fence about Patreon now's a perfect time to sign up, you get
2:24.3	access to the entire back catalog and all the other goodies and your dollars go to help the people
2:30.8	of Maui. And on the subject of Patreon, we have some brand new patrons along with some
2:37.8	old friends that I want to shout out. So new this week are Miranda, Austin R, Gisele H,
2:46.7	Chelsea W, SM, Lauren S, and Jesse OS. And then we've got some longer term patrons that I want
