About this episode
One of our most popular interstitial topics, we had to come back for a third run at Curvy Heroines this month in celebration of Bridgerton-mania online and our absolute delight that we finally get to see Penelope get that handsome man who is just back from his long trip to glow-up-land (we deserve nice things, and so do curvy heroines)! Sarah’s talking exclusively about historicals today, and Jen is bringing new-to-the-pod authors to the table…all that, and we’re naming the six historicals Sarah’s written with curvy heroines (There’s also a contemporary! Check the photo array, below). This one is a lot of fun. Our next read along is Joanna Shupe’s The Devil of Downtown , from her Uptown Girls trilogy. It’s Jen’s favorite in the series. Get it at Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Kobo , Apple or your local indie . Happy anniversary to our founding Patreon members — May marks one year of our Patreon and our Discord! We love you a whole lot.
