Join us as we create a safe space to unpack the complexities and joys of smut, challenge societal norms, and celebrate the power of inclusive storytelling.
We'll explore everything from trope deep dives and author interviews to thought-provoking discussions on topics like body positivity, LGBTQ+ representation, and reclaiming the word "fat."

We Read Smut: Bookish Conversations for Romance Readers
My Reading Confessions: Rapid Fire Q&A
Ever wondered about the person behind the mic? Today, I'm turning the tables and putting myself in the hot seat for a fun, rapid-fire Q&A. On We Read Smut, I'm answering all your burning bookish questions about my personal preferences, reading habits, and sharing a few hot takes along the way. Get ready to find out my favorite tropes, why I'm a "villains only" girl, and which romance books I think everyone should read.
In this episode, we're discussing:
- Reading Habits: I’m a multi-book reader, often juggling an audiobook, an ebook on my phone, and another on my Kindle at the same time.
- Format Preferences: When it comes to books, I prefer reading ebooks over physical books and have a strong preference for paperback over hardback.
- Spicy vs. Sweet: I'll take a spicy romance over a sweet one any day, and when it comes to characters, I'm definitely on Team Villain.
- Hot Takes: I believe the amnesia trope is lazy, don't read trilogies, and will always judge a book by its cover.
Now that you've gotten to know me a little better, I want to hear from you! Pick one of the questions I answered and let me know your take in the comments or on social media using the hashtag #WeReadSmut. Don't forget to follow and subscribe so you don't miss any of our upcoming episodes!
