Episode Twenty Three S2: Stuck in a Lift & Ice Planet Barbarians

This week Katy and Rosie tackle the question everyone has secretly thought about — which book character would you actually want to be stuck in a lift with? The debate gets chaotic, the choices get suspicious, and nobody picks someone sensible.

Then we deep dive into the BookTok phenomenon that started it all — Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon. Georgie is an ordinary woman abducted by aliens and abandoned on a remote ice planet with a group of other human women and absolutely no survival plan.  The only native inhabitant she finds is big, blue, horned, and absolutely convinced she is his mate — and the purring coming from his chest is apparently her fault.  It’s alien romance, it’s survival chaos, it’s somehow both completely unhinged and genuinely hard to put down. We got into it. All of it.

☕ Grab your cuppa and maybe a blanket. It’s cold out there on that ice planet.
