Introduction & Friday Vibes

00:00:00
Speaker
Na na na na Smut Report! Hey, welcome to the Smut Report. This is Ingrid. And I'm Holly. And I'm Erin. And we are back with our third episode of Tumble Reads. This lovely, well, it's Friday for us, but it's not going to be Friday when you get this. So if you get, if you're getting that, that Friday vibe on a Sunday, well, you're welcome because that's what we hope that you feel on Sunday.
00:00:24
Speaker
Or Monday morning. it our Monday morning. you're listening to this on your commute, you're welcome. Take that Friday vibe straight into Monday. That's what

Ingrid's Segments & Input Request

00:00:31
Speaker
we're going for. But anyway, so this is Ingrid's MC c time. I get to steal the show and,
00:00:37
Speaker
force Holly and Erin meander with me and i'm I'm really excited. I have one plan and one non-plan and I feel like that's a balance and I really like that.
00:00:48
Speaker
So love to see it we're going to start with the

Erin's Reading Experience with Ella Frank

00:00:50
Speaker
non-plan. The non-plan is I literally just want to hear what you're reading and what you're excited about. reading or if you're reading something and it bummed you out I just want to know one response that you had to something that you read for fun or not fun this week I know broad
00:01:09
Speaker
what did i I read already like four or five books how so uh yeah so i did it my big ones were i did a reread of because we did the musicians let's talk tropes right so it's like oh yeah he was like a cellist or something was like wonder if i could just like listen to that again and so i did well it was um i'm getting there i'm getting there sorry it was um bad and it's a duet or duology bad intentions and good intentions by ella frank yes and this is one that's just by ella frank ella frank also co-writes frequently with brook lane and i have such
00:01:53
Speaker
feelings about reading these books because they always do like minimum duology some of the characters are like one of them's like six books and it goes from like the beginning to their wedding so i'm sure that there are some you know when you get later in a series there's just like their relationship is established but it's crazy shenanigans so anyway but i don't love to i don't love that ride a lot of the time um And this one particular because I almost exclusively look for series. I'm like, I just don't understand.
00:02:25
Speaker
But I guess it's the way that my brain is built, which is also funny, Ingrid, because as we're so similar. Our brains are not that different, ah but they're different enough, apparently. Maybe because I read so fast, though.
00:02:37
Speaker
Yeah, it could be because I am not a super fast reader. Yeah. and But the this one, this Good Intentions duet is a it's one of those ones where it's like the books are both real short.
00:02:47
Speaker
So like it could have been less sex, tighter and just one book. But no, that's not what they decided to do. But it's about a cellist. You don't know that at first. He's like trying to get an office job. And later we find out it's because he had to sideline his cello career because he got in a crash.
00:03:05
Speaker
ah ah um and he seduces he's at a party with his best friend slash roommate and is like that guy's hot I want him and the guy is like you can't have him he's like I'm gonna go get him and it's like the head of the network but um that they work for and so it's got all the things you know all the things that Ingrid would like be like oh no it's like a huge age gap enjoy financial and power gap but part of it is funny because the second book is like and they make a deal and it's not supposed to be a sex deal but he's like but we could we could we could just throw that deal out and just you know do the things
00:03:44
Speaker
Anyway, um and the older guy is like, no, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to make you as uncomfortable as possible while I anyway. Oh, Aaron. It's it's very it's very like there's a lot of like, oh, man, that's questionable. And I dig it.
00:04:03
Speaker
second book it's like the young guy is like no you need to grovel and you need to like live with me in my apartment and there's roommate comes home and is like i can't stay here my boss's boss is here and he's like i'm gonna leave
00:04:23
Speaker
It was just like very funny the way that they did it. So it was a good, it was a good time. And then I started reading. So our next let's talk trip. So I got to, you know, I had this wild brain guys in here. I'm still talking.
00:04:34
Speaker
I'm sorry. But so, so I was like, oh, musicians. And I went down here and then I was like, that narrator was kind of fun to listen to. I wonder what else he's narrated. at And, oh, we're doing mafia for our next let's talk tropes. there's a mafia book.
00:04:50
Speaker
also by the author pair not just ella frank um so it's author ella frank and brooke blaine i guess and it's a mafia duology and it's so dark i'm like this is so bad and it so good
00:05:08
Speaker
it's like extremely problematic but it's so fun so anyway that's my fun times for the week like i love that kind of responsible I think that's great. Go you.
00:05:19
Speaker
Yeah.

Holly's Current Reads & TBR Challenge

00:05:20
Speaker
How about you, Holly? Okay. I mean, I can't top that. But here here's my reading journey for the week is I started reading the our buddy read for the Hottie McScotty podcast that we're preparing.
00:05:35
Speaker
Way to be responsible, Holly. Yeah. And... I gotta tell you that I'm not not feeling it so that's gonna that's gonna be a fun conversation so I was like okay I'll just I'll just take a little pause and I'll look on my bookshelf and see what I want to read for the TBR challenge nice which is friend squad and but then I'm looking on my bookshelf I'm like look at all these Highlander books I have e Maybe I'll have to do some like bonus background reading like they're all old And the one we're buddy reading ah Which I don't remember the name or the author off the top of my head But I'll put it in our notes Yeah Elisa Braden is the author right I don't remember the title Is it Becoming a Highland Lord or something like that I can tell you in just 10 seconds You keep talking about your Hottie McScotties though
00:06:30
Speaker
Anyway, but the reason we picked it is because it's from 2020 and we're like, let's let's see what's going on that's like published after 1990 since we're all in like full Garwood mode. um But all of mine are old.
00:06:44
Speaker
So whatever. I'm excited. um And so there's that. But I was like, okay, but I'm going to be responsible. And first I'll read for the TBR challenge because none of these Hottie McScotty books have friends like our friend squads like god forbid um so i pulled another jennifer cruzi off my shelf that i haven't read yet so And as per usual, it's delightful, but I'm reading Manhunting, which was her first book.
00:07:14
Speaker
And ah it so it was published in the early 90s. And like man, the gender stuff in there is, Yeah. it yes yeah i mean, and she these like you know emotionally constipated male heroes who are like kind of blue colliery macho i feel like this and she this continues throughout her career um but that are like you know i think women should just like I want a wife who's like younger and just listens to me and I'm like oh oh and I know
00:07:52
Speaker
is going to change his tune and decide that this 35 business executive, who's the heroine, is actually the right woman for a him. And then and they're going to meet in the middle and find a more balanced life together.
00:08:06
Speaker
right like That's what's going to happen. ah But, like, some of it, I'm like, it's, like, just borderline of, like, people actually still think that. So I feel like when I read that, if I read that in an old Hottie McScotty book, I'm like, oh, yeah, of course, whatever. Moving on. I'm fine with that. We've got the historical, yeah. Right? But if I'm like, oh, this is a contemporary, and people do actually...
00:08:29
Speaker
think that and like thought that in the 90s and now reading it in 2025 I'm like o well and you know I have to say this I've also noticed that when I was younger and I would read those books I was like oh I just love how these guys improve and get better but then by the time you're in your mid-30s I feel like we all know after having watched many of our friends with marriages and whatnot that like if you hold those values before you get married they don't go away like they might you might make some minor adjustments here but like yeah likelihood is
00:09:00
Speaker
Like, is he going to do the dishes? ah We'll find out. I mean, most of them are blue colored guys who are really handy around the house. So maybe they actually do do the dishes. But yeah. Or maybe they're just like, well, my thing is that I do the handy things around the house. And ah that's the same as doing the work that happens every single day. Yeah.
00:09:21
Speaker
all the time and as opposed to like weekly or periodically right anyway ah i'm not anyway but like all you know but there's this dynamic where she's like the heroine is like i want a distinguished accomplished man and so right and like who's successful in his business and so she keeps going on dates with these guys and like she because she's like she feels like that's what she should want and um but she gets giving roval it's giving rosaline palmer vibes Maybe, yes, yes, a little bit.
00:09:53
Speaker
um But

Ingrid's Dating Advice & Inspirations

00:09:54
Speaker
she goes, but she, except she figures out real quick that like these guys actually stink. And so she does things like push them into pools and stab them with forks. As you would expect in a Jennifer Crazy book. Yes, and as is appropriate for the behavior that these absolute dinguses are exhibiting.
00:10:16
Speaker
So it's interesting, because in some ways it's like super feminist, and and but then every once in a while I'm like, ooh, ooh, I don't know about that one.
00:10:27
Speaker
So... So do you know what's funny is that I actually have, I started a list for my kids for dating advice, more for girls than for boys, but let's be realistic. This could apply to anybody. um But do you want to hear it?
00:10:39
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I, and then like I said, I got a lot of these from romance novels and a lot of them just from listening to friends and being like, oh dear. So um here they are. Never date anyone who doesn't immediately offer to do the dishes if you cook.
00:10:50
Speaker
and That's the first one. Yeah. That's how I knew my husband was a keeper. Yeah. I feel like it's, it's, you got, it's like one of those immediate green flag, red flags. Never date anyone who doesn't maintain their car on time or close to on time.
00:11:03
Speaker
Oh, yeah. That's an interesting one. Yeah. It makes sense. Because they're investing time into the boring stuff. That's a good sign. Okay. Never date anyone who only talks about or admires male authors, musicians, or artists.
00:11:16
Speaker
yeah Ready? Never date anyone who doesn't openly talk about their feelings by their proper names. As in, man, I just feel really upset about that. Or like, I felt kind of ashamed about that. or That brought me a lot of joy.
00:11:29
Speaker
Comfortable with vulnerability, right? Never date anyone who has had exclusively bad endings to prior relationships. Never date anyone who doesn't get excited about celebrating your birthday. And never date anyone who isn't eager to look at your baby photos when offered.
00:11:46
Speaker
Can you tell Holly which ones of those were romance novels and which ones were real life? I was thinking was reading, I was like, is that one from a romance novel? That seems like a real life scenario. Or the birthdays thing is like just every Reddit um should I break up with my boyfriend thread.
00:12:02
Speaker
Right. Like this is, you know how we joke about how I just like to make connections with everything. So like this is me like, you know, just anyway. So that's what I was thinking about when you were talking about Jennifer Kruse was that I was like, sometimes I'll read these older books and I'm like, oopsie, that's the red flag right there. But I would never have thought it was a red flag when it either it first came out or when I was in my 20s or in my teens, like i would have thought it was totally fine.
00:12:23
Speaker
But yeah apparently older Ingrid is. Yeah. Although I will say Jennifer Kruse, one thing that she does really well is she writes like she writes the worst ex-boyfriends. They're so bad. Like they're i like they get on the page. I'm like, I'm going to punch you in the face.
00:12:38
Speaker
had and it and And she makes it clear what is bad about them. hmm. And why they're the wrong person for the heroine. And also like brings and really brings the reader in.
00:12:52
Speaker
Like makes them just egregious enough where you can't sympathize with them, but not so egregious that you're like, oh, but real men don't do that. Right. oh That's fantastic. Yeah. Because I always i always kind of side eye it when like what the exes are always, they're not just bad, they're evil.
00:13:10
Speaker
Like they're diabolical, you know? yeah or like Yeah, they're just entitled in this one. I could see that. Making it really good. yeah yeah yeah Except there was one where that like the conflict was the ex didn't accept that they were broken up and went like full on stalker. And that one was like... whoa this is this is a little too much this x is a little too scary but well sometimes you gotta have a little thrill i mean let's be honest that's why you know romantica there's always all the evil people sometimes that's kind of fun but i think contemporary reading mafia romance was yeah right
00:13:49
Speaker
It is harder, though. Like you guys like while Holly was saying, I feel like, Ingrid, you you chimed in as well, though, there where it was like reading contemporary is a whole different flavor. it is. Even if you're like, oh, this was written 30 years ago. it's like but it's set in the like quote I'm doing air quotes the now, even if the now was 30 years ago. And like there's not that much differentiation between the 90s and now in terms of like scope of time or like well it really big changes in the
00:14:20
Speaker
well i guess that could be like the kids these days the kids these days being like well why don't they just pick up their cell phones i don't right they didn't have cell phones i was reading a 90s book too and somebody was like on my cell phone and i was like really it was an older book but yeah i was like i'm thinking of those like gigantic ones that are like as big as a hardcover book and like two inches wide yeah like what or like because it wasn't even really far enough to be like the nokia candy bar phones that everybody had for a hot minute you know anyway it that was interesting time things but i think in terms of like cultural expectations
00:14:58
Speaker
okay it's not necessarily like there are changes but they're not so significant as like looking 200 years ago but that could just be let's do a shout out to and holly did her meet holly thing this week too like uh shout out to the generic verisimilitude conversation and what we expect to read what we expect to read versus what actually is history i was also re-listening to the podcast this week and uh where were we or what were we discussing holly was talking about astro grant astro glenn gray and the sleeping soldier and how historical fiction is fiction not what actually happened and putting our the that was very i was like oh yeah good reminder good reminder
00:15:43
Speaker
Well, and also I just think so also we've talked about this. I actually took the time to look it up previously and I just double checked myself because I use this all all the time and I knew it wasn't from me. I knew it was from someone relevant and important.
00:15:56
Speaker
um But willing suspension, willing suspension of disbelief, I think is harder in contemporary books than it is in historicals or made up stuff. Yes. And that I didn't make that up because I've said it 900 times. i just want everyone to know that ah Coleridge was the first person who said that. Yes, the quote is, let me see if I can get it quite right, but I think it's relevant for here. um It is the willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith, poetic faith.
00:16:25
Speaker
And that's why I think I always liked that saying, because I think that, you know, it's a relationship of trust. And I think that with contemporary, it's harder because this is something that we understand. Like when it's a contemporary book, we're living in it.
00:16:36
Speaker
There are just too many opportunities for things to flag in your brain. And I think that's why it's so hard because I think we're a bit more judgmental of contemporary books. Yeah, probably. but ahlthough Yeah.

Book Club & Reading Habits

00:16:47
Speaker
So, well, you're the MC, but what did you read this week? I feel like we should also get the third part, the third leg on this stool. Well, I'm glad you asked, Erin. I am reading, I am still in my binge. So I have to read Crescent City by Sunday at one o'clock.
00:17:03
Speaker
And so naturally haven't started it. Because return is going to go back at that or what? because I started a book club with some ladies and I'm super excited about it. First of all, because every i only I only don't know one person in the book club, but every single other person that in this book club, I'm like, i I like you. I think they're really nice people.
00:17:22
Speaker
I will say that originally the plan that I had for the book club was that I wanted it to be what's called like a rubble book club where you just read whatever you want and then you come and talk about whatever that was. um Because as one might expect with the gig that we have, there are a lot of due dates and ah i don't like them because I have ADHD and I struggle with them.
00:17:43
Speaker
So anyway, but we did, i think a couple people wanted to try, you know, having a more traditional book club vibe, which I'm totally for. I just want to hang out with people. So I'm like, whatever, that's fine. Um,
00:17:53
Speaker
But anyway, we picked Crescent City, which I'm obviously thrilled about because I hard binge Sarah J Maas. And I don't know if it's because i recognize that this is going to be another like hard binge for me, or if it's just that I can see the size of this book because I bought a paper copy and I'm like.
00:18:11
Speaker
Naturally, I should put this off for as long as humanly possible. It's long. It's long. It is but like three and a half inches wide. Like it is a huge book. Holly, she's going to read it overnight. i know.
00:18:23
Speaker
On Saturday night. And this is the brain that... This is just the way I'm built. So naturally, I haven't opened it yet. um but This will be fun because this won't this podcast won't publish until afterwards. And one of the people in the book club actually does...
00:18:38
Speaker
follow what we do. So it'll be fun for her to know that I actually pounded this thing in like two days. But um anyway, so I, in ah in an effort to avoid reading the book that I actually do want to read, but was assigned and therefore don't want to read, i do want to read it, but I don't.
00:18:52
Speaker
I ended up reading some more romantic-y books and I, I found one that I think usually in my binges, there's one that just kind of jumps the shark a little bit. And I think I found that book for me. So it might be that I'm going to start shifting out. I don't know. We'll see what my brain does, but it's, um,
00:19:05
Speaker
The reason that I think it jumped the shark for you a little bit was that it has magic carpets in it. Okay, so what is it, though? ah So the series is... Let me look it up because it's on my phone. I mean... It's called...
00:19:16
Speaker
um this It's a two book or three three book series. It's called The Fae of Woodlands and Wild series by Krista Street. Okay, so it's not like an Arabian Nights kind of thing. No, yeah it's Fae. But it also has. No, they just have magic carpets.
00:19:35
Speaker
Yeah, i don't like that. And there are shifters in it, but the shifters are stags, like all the main character shifters. So they're like, they have ah antlers when they shift.
00:19:47
Speaker
Oh, I've read several of those. therere always I'm always like, this is a journey that I'm on. Because I know that it does go back to some like Oak King, Holly King mythology, right? like yeah it I understand the point. I don't think it's bad. It's just that I'm like, well, this is a different direction than I anticipated.
00:20:03
Speaker
And so, and like, whenever the they get like, whenever they get frisky, his antlers sprout out from his head.
00:20:17
Speaker
all the time no that seems like no and it's considered very rude to ask people what kind of shifters they are so like but and they're really fast so like they're apparently like they're like super speed um stag shifters that can like go really fast so they're like so zooming all over the place and uh and then when they like run and then he sprouts antlers at one point they're in a very cramped bathroom and She like makes a point to describe the heroine about how his antlers barely fit in the bathroom.

Critiques on Fantasy Elements

00:20:45
Speaker
And I'm just like, that seems really like a problematic and difficult condition to have.
00:20:50
Speaker
I know. Right. If you really think about it, like human necks are not designed to hold antlers. First of all, second of all, like there's a lot of factors rack is like huge, like huge. And the more powerful you are, the right, like I would imagine the bigger they are. This guy is mega powerful.
00:21:06
Speaker
And she's trying to, yeah, like massive. do they fall off in the winter like regular hatlers like do they not pop them anymore that's a good question because they just they just i'm just at a point where they ventured into the north of their continent and it's snowy and i haven't seen anything about the ant them falling yeah like and then in the spring do they come out with the fuzz on them and then they have to like rub them against the trees and be like get all because i feel like that would be a big time commitment you know what i mean yeah The rugs are really what's getting me because I'm like, this doesn't even make sense.
00:21:39
Speaker
Because, like, these rugs are And I'm like, how are they? they just sit cross-legged on the rugs? Like, that seems... I'm I don't know the physics is the problem yes because they go really fast and they're standing they're gonna fall off surfing on the rugs as they yeah yes there's no chairs and they're like you know this is gonna be a difficult journey we should probably get a rug and I'm like that sounds terrible you're just gonna stand with the wind whipping by you so it's so interesting to make a big turn you're off the edge yeah there's no edge to it no yeah well and they're like not like hard
00:22:17
Speaker
No, it's a rug. Yeah, well, and I feel like in magic carpets, it's like you sit down or you like lie on your stomach. And it's like, or, and they're not like super speedy modes of transportation. They're right magical modes of transportation.
00:22:30
Speaker
But it's like, our yeah, but. And they put five, six people on them. Yeah, so it makes me think. Have you guys read the Wizards of Once books by Cressida Cowell? I started them. myself I started it.
00:22:41
Speaker
but I started it with the family on a car trip and i was roundly told that I must turn it off. I was like, but fun things are happening. They're so good. They're so good. i've tried Fantastic. they um I think we just weren't ready for them yet.
00:22:57
Speaker
Yeah, the kids, though, um ride a door around. Well, so. Right? Well, no, but- Doors are hard. Well, and someone is like, carpets are traditional, they're like, well, this is what we had. I'm sorry. But it's like very clear that this is not a fun mode of transportation. They're like always like lying down and holding on for dear life and steering through the trees and getting like whipped in the face by branches um so that's but like you know it's hard so well that's what I was gonna say actually like but the way that specfic authors think about physics or not like Holly you were talking about okay so it was the wizards of once and not a romance whatever but like it's hard I was just reading it was Jennifer Cody and it was like one of the ah what ridiculous ones where the mute boy married an assassin or whatever they're bonkers
00:23:51
Speaker
maybe i'll finally get a review for them or maybe i won't but uh the guy the one guy who has four dads as one does uh one of his dads is a thunderbird as one is he's a quarter thunderbird and uh so he so they go travel sometimes and he turns into his thunderbird form and the guy like crawls under his wing and like burrows in his feathers so that they can go fast enough so that like he's not gonna fall off and they get done and he like always gets off and then pukes because it's like the most uncomfortable mode of transportation but it just is like he's a thunderbird so he goes really fast you know
00:24:28
Speaker
But, you know, so there's it's so weird how authors are not weird. It's just different. But like some authors really get into that. like Like, let's talk about all the physics of this. And then some are just like physics, physics, physics.
00:24:42
Speaker
Yeah, of course. I just go, like, ride a rug and have no issues surfing on this in the clouds. This is a me problem. Like, this is not a problem in the text. This is not a plot problem. Like, I just can't wrap my head around it. Because also, like, in the beginning, she's this is how she travels because she's, like, a kept lady. She's, like, a slave and she's kept by a lord or whatever.
00:25:03
Speaker
And they travel by rug all the time. And then when she's, like, snapped up by this dark raider or whatever... He puts a bubble around them so that she doesn't, she can hear him and they can talk and stuff because they're going so fast. I don't remember if they're on a stagger on a carpet, but I'm just sitting here like, but then wouldn't that be like a standard feature if you're riding fast on like an open air thing all the time? And like what happens when rains?
00:25:26
Speaker
you know what i mean just I just feel like I have too many questions about the damn rug and I'm just it's I it's derailing me and I can't tell if it's just my brain noodling and it's an Ingrid problem one of those distractions also to be fair I feel like it's ah like you pull it being like I'm gonna write a super English fae based mythology shifter book but just kind of yoink in magic carpets feels a little bit gross to me it it felt It felt like a thing anyway. So I'm, I'm not done yet. I'm going to keep giving it a good, good good old college try, but I have to say most of the time when people do something fresh, I'm like, Ooh, how fun. And this time I was like, is that really the, really?
00:26:08
Speaker
But we'll see. I'm an, everything else is fine. So

Romance-themed Mad Libs Activity

00:26:11
Speaker
we'll see how it goes. But to wrap up, We're going to do the fastest Mad Libs ever. And it's going to make me blush because I just, I didn't really read the end result before I was like, we're going to do this. and there are definitely some words that i normally don't say out loud in friendly conversations. So we're to roll with it. But Aaron, you're doing odds.
