Who’s ready for combat? 🩷🏹 It’s been a year since our A Court of Mist and Fury episode, and with the release of A Court of Splintered Harmony less than a week away… we’re heading back to Phyrthian to revisit the chaos before the next chapter begins. I forgot how much of a hold this universe has on my mental state; somehow I’m emotionally attached to a fictional group of people who have absolutely ruined my mundane, human life.

This book is high stakes, ride-or-die friendships, and the kind of loyalty that only a golden retriever has. We’re diving into the characters we love, the moments that had us screaming into our pillows, and the scenes that prove that sometimes family is the people you choose along the way. And obviously, we HAVE to talk about the Night Court because Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel deserve their own segment. Respectfully. I chose to cross this book over with The Archer from Lover because I truly feel like it is an ode to every character in this book and their own personal journey in some way. I think there’s a lyric in this song for every member of the night Court and getting deeper into the characters that SJM has created feels like an honor.

So grab your favorite reading snack, put on your Illyrian leathers (or, you know, your comfiest pajamas), and prepare to spiral with me over all things ACOTAR. Whether you're here for the romance, the found family, the political drama, or the emotional damage, this episode is for all of us bat boy lover girls. Just remember: to the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered. 🌌

Get in loser, we're going to Rome, KY!!! Starting off a new season of podcasting strong with one of my favorite comfort authors: Sarah Adams and the small town romance of Noah & Amelia. 🎤 🏡 🥧 🚜 🤍 ✨

Amelia is a popstar. Noah is a small town guy that bakes pie for a living. I don't know what Sarah Adams put into her books, but she just just knows how to make me smile like an idiot. In the same way that I LOVED the Los Angeles Sharks universe, I actually felt transformed into the small town world of Rome, Kentucky. It’s giving Hannah Montana Movie and bringing me back to my Disney Channel roots.

Which is exactly why we are crossing over this episode with You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home. And before you say “Whoa whoa whoa, I thought this was a Taylor Swift podcast??” I’d tell you that Taylor Swift DID actually write this song for Miley to sing for this movie and I thought it’d be fun to bring in new artists to deep dive into lyrically this season. If you’re a seasonal reader like me, it’s the perfect October read when the leaves are changing and the windows are open with the crisp scent of a pumpkin spice candle. Enjoy the episode & cheers to a new era of DBATB!!! 🧡

HAPPY TS12!!!🧡 I love myself for prewriting this description bc it’s currently 11:58 on October 3rd and I just finished editing 2.5 HOURS of footage for today’s episode. Today we’re celebrating The Life of a Showgirl together, we’re dusting off our eras tour outfits and heading to the movie theatre to celebrate a new album with a room full of screaming swifties. And most importantly, we’re listening to a new episode of DBATB podcast.

For the first time ever, I’m live reacting to a brand new Taylor album, which is completely new for me but here we are and I am PUMPED. Listening to this album for the first time now.

I feel like I am not a very good first reaction girly, but here we are. The first time I listen to an album I’m usually pretty conflicted and it takes me a few lessons to really find my favorites and listen to the lyrics deep enough to understand them. With that being said, my expectations for this album are HIGH. I’m expecting an album bigger than 1989 in her prime, bigger than any album we’ve seen so far. (Spoiler alert: it lives up to the hype) 💯

Here is an episode breakdown along with the time stamps for each song so you can pick and choose the clips you want to hear me talk about.

“THE FATE OF OPHELIA” 3:32

“ELIZABETH TAYLOR” 9:07

“OPALITE” 12:29
