Sippin' on Spice Book Podcast

• Is Everything Dark Romantasy?, Wild Spicy-time Words, Controversial Book Slumps and more!

  On this episode of Sippin' on Spice, we're diving deep into the shadows of the romance genre. We're asking the tough questions: what is dark romance, really? Are we overusing the label, slapping it on any book with a morally gray hero or a slightly angsty plot? Is this term becoming overused - or is it not? We'll pour a glass and get into the heated debate of dark romance vs. gothic romance. What makes a book one and not the other? We'll dissect the tropes and aethetics. We are also talking about MMCs with scars and how we feel about them.But it's not all fun and games. We're also talking about the controversial reads that put us in a total book slump. Some are very controversial and might shock you! We'll share our own experiences and opinions and we would love to hear if you agree or disagree. So, grab your favorite drink and get ready for an honest, unfiltered chat about romance books! #Books #Booktok #Bookstagram #RomanceBooks #BookPodcast #DarkRomance #GothicRomance #Booksthatputusinareadingslump #ReadingSlump #Reading #RomantasyBooks #DarkFantasy #DarkFantasyBooks #BooktokBooks #Bookish #BookishThoughts #DarkRomanceBooks
