Welcome to Heaving Buzhams, the podcast where two best friends recap romance novels,

while reveling in Viking times and gloating about how wise they are.

Go to love what we love and do what I love.

Stack our shells with the crunchies out. Shad us on the rooftop. Hi, love, love, love it's life.

Hi, gorgeous listener, welcome.

If this is your first episode, I'm Melody, and every week my long-distance best friend Sabrina and I recap romance novels from a feminist, comedic, sex positive, and true fan perspective.

You'll get the plot of the book and you'll get tangents along the way.

If you want more of us, we've got bonus content and so much more over on Patreon and on our Apple subscription.

This week, Sabrina and I are doing a reading roundup. We'll tell you all about the books we're enjoying outside of the podcast reading list.

That's this Friday on Patreon and our Apple sub.

Spoiler alert, there might be a lot of alien, monster, and fluffy contemporary MM romance.

And mark your calendars for July 18th at 8 p.m. Eastern.

That's a Friday, and it's our next live watch party.

We love our Patreon community, and I've got some awesome people to shout out.

Welcome and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Art Nome, Liz M., Vanessa K., Stephanie L., Rebecca P., and Aaron.

This week, Sabrina and I are heading to Viking times with one of our favorite authors. It was also the first time in a few weeks that we sat down and recorded together,

so the whole thing honestly is a little extra.

Here's part one of our recap

of The Bone King and the Starling

by Elizabeth Stevens.

Love and out.
