Introduction to Game Night
00:00:05
Speaker
Hey, guys. Hey, guys. Welcome to Bring Your Own and Catch All Bookings from my suicide podcast. I'm Brandi. I'm Kendra. I'm Kayla. And today, it's game night. Or game morning. Or whatever time you're listening to this.
Bookish Games Introduction
00:00:22
Speaker
It's game night. Game night is, what's the word I'm looking for? It's a vibe. It's nighttime. Yeah. Yeah. You can do it whenever.
00:00:31
Speaker
Exactly. Welcome to game night guys. We're going to be playing some bookish games. These are some games that we play with authors sometimes, but they're also like so fun. So we wanted to play them too.
Current Reads and Drinks
00:00:39
Speaker
So before we jump in, what are we reading? What are we drinking? I'll go first because mine's really boring. um Mine, I'm still reading most of the stuff that I talked about on the last two episodes. Like I'm still reading when the world's over and I'm still reading.
00:00:54
Speaker
Chain of gold and I'm still reading. No, that's it. I think I just finished the fangirl mangas because the newest one just came out on Monday and ah Like it like made my heart burst finishing that book like again having to say goodbye to those characters again in like a new way It felt very different than a reread but
Audiobook Experience
00:01:14
Speaker
loved it. It was so fun and then I'm drinking an iced caramel latte and Oh, I'm listening to Hysteria. I was like, I think you're forgetting something. I really am. I'm like 70% into Hysteria. So I will be finishing that this afternoon. Yeah. And I'm listening on 2.0 speed. I'm not even listening on 2.5 because I just think that her her male voice, that narrator, I'm just so used to her man voice at 2.0. I didn't want to mess with a good
Emotional Book Reactions
00:01:42
Speaker
thing. So I'm listening at a slower speed than I usually do.
00:01:45
Speaker
You know what I forgot too is like when I was listening, cause she has a different voice that she uses for RS than she uses for death. And so whenever death is in that book and she talks, I'm like, Oh my God, I forgot. Hey, I forgot how.
00:02:02
Speaker
Deep it is. Oh, it's so good. Anyway. I can go. I finished Wisteria, so I'm not reading that one. I'm still kind of sad about it. That it's over, that is. I'm also reading one of the same books that I was reading last time, a Daughter of Death and Dawn, the third book in the War of Lost Hearts series. But I'm like, the deeper said it through. She's thick, but also I put her on pause when Wisteria came out. So I didn't read it for like several days.
00:02:30
Speaker
oh yeah because you did both audio and physical with wisteria that's right dude i did an immersive which was nice so um how do you log that on storygraph That one I did log as audio, because I liked the audio. you know Those are 100% the way to read those books, in my opinion, if you were to read them one way. you know So I logged it as audio. And then I am also listening right now to an ALC of Wild Eyes by Elsie Silver. I'm not very far in. I think I'm only like 25% in. um But thank you, Must Love Audio, for that arc.
00:03:06
Speaker
yeah Sorry, um, I- Oh, Kayla, what are you drinking? Water. Nothing exciting. I apologize. I am drinking an Alani Nu Orange Kiss.
00:03:17
Speaker
Honestly, Alani, if you're listening, I love you so much. I've been here since like 2019, no, 2018 with you guys, um before you were in Target. Kendra, I had never heard of Alani New before you started drinking them on the pod. And now one of my coworkers has one every
Community Engagement
00:03:33
Speaker
morning. And I'm like, I know all of that Alani New, because Kendra. Bro, honestly, like, yeah, it's like a basic ass energy drink. But like the packaging is just so cute. It like makes you want to have them like in your fridge so you can look at.
00:03:47
Speaker
um i am reading well i just finished um a few days ago wild eyes by lc silver i'm excited for your guys's thoughts i can say that i did like it more than wild love so that's a good sign to everyone listening i think this was better than wild love and i'll leave it at that um And I am physically reading with my eyeballs, a book called Between Friends and Lovers by Charlene. I don't know their last name, but it starts with an O and I also don't know how to like pronounce their last name either and I'm not gonna try. It's really good. I thought it was gonna be something different than like what I've been presented with so far. I'm like at the 50% mark. So like maybe the thing that I want to happen will still happen, because I thought it was gonna be more of like a love triangle book and right now it's only like a
00:04:36
Speaker
two-person book, and I want the like triangle to start triangle-ling. So that's not happening yet. But maybe my fingers crossed. But the writing's really good. i think it's I think you guys would enjoy what I've read so far, regardless. And on audio, not really doing anything right now. so Amazing guys hop over to our Instagram and tell us what you're reading We're at bring your own pod over there comment on this episode announcement Tell us what you're currently reading and what you're currently drinking and also if you love this podcast a Really easy great way to help us out is to rate and review this podcast. It would mean a lot to us Thank you so much five stars only though. So yeah
00:05:18
Speaker
We don't like it. Why are you listening? Go away. Anyways, should we jump into game night? We should. Amazing.
Explanation of Games
00:05:27
Speaker
Kayla, do you want to explain the three games that we're going to play before we start? Sure, of course, of course. First game is just a simple little quote game. We've all chosen several quotes from books that we all either love or enjoy or at least have read at the very least have read. ah So yeah we've all read the ones I picked. Yes. OK.
00:05:48
Speaker
Are you lying? No, yeah, we have. Okay, just making sure. Some, maybe one person may know more than the others. We'll see. ah So it's just a simple quote game trying to identify the character and what or what book these are from. Second game we have is a guess the character game, I guess we could call it. We just have some I am statements for some characters that start up very vague and then get very specific. Have you guys ever heard of the game called, I think it's called Jackass?
00:06:16
Speaker
Have you heard of that game where it's basically like person, place your thing. And then, yeah, it's the same thing. There's statements that starts off vague. And then you why is it called Jackass? I have no idea. But that's what it's called. And it's sitting in my game closet. So there you go. um Jared and I love games. We love board games. So we have a ah big game. Same. Love it.
00:06:37
Speaker
And then our last game is a trope game. I think we played this last time or something similar last time. yeah Again, back to our loved, very beloved Wheel of Names, where we have a bunch of tropes in there. We're going to spin for two tropes, and then we have to think of a book that has those two tropes, whoever gets it first and is accurate, obviously, wins the point. How are scoring points?
00:07:05
Speaker
I don't know. You can keep track if you would like. um But yeah, it's not about the points. It's about it's about the friends we made along the way. Guys, game night is a community. Yeah. Points only matter during fantasy football. And this is not fantasy football.
Fantasy Football Antics
00:07:20
Speaker
So. Oh, my God. You guys we've drafted since we talked to you last. We did our draft. Hold on. Oh, my God. I already know where this is going. I told Kayla and before we started the draft, Kayla, if you just let me have one player from my team last year, like that would be great. And like I told everyone that not just her.
00:07:35
Speaker
I was like, I just want Christian McCaffrey again. like That's all I want. After that, like it's whatever. And I wanted Joe Burrow, but I knew no one else was going to pick Joe Burrow. OK, listen, I knew no one else was going to pick him. That's not true, though. Why wouldn't we have picked Joe Burrow? He's a great quarterback. You talk shit about him all the time. Only because you talk about him like he's God's gift of football. Because he is. OK. um And so then the draft starts. Kayla, first of all, says that she didn't rig it, but she got to go first. Don't believe you. I did not. I can show you the receipts if you wish to go ahead. Somehow, someway, she ended up being the first person to go in the draft. And who's the first person she snatched up? Christian McCaffrey. I was so hurt, betrayed. He's the number one drafted player in fantasy football, Kendra. Like, she would be dumb not to pick him. Wait.
00:08:20
Speaker
I got him last year on um an auto draft. like I didn't even know who he was. And then I found out. And now suddenly she's his biggest fan. Yeah. And I hope he gets hurt again. If I may, defend can I defend myself? but Sure. Thank you.
00:08:33
Speaker
Um, I am the league manager, but when I went for the draft settings, I hit, and I can, again, I can show people if they wish to see the proof, randomize the draft order one hour before draft time, which is what we did last year. We randomized the draft order. And of course, as soon as I enter the draft room and I see myself first, I'm like, Oh my God, they're going to think I rigged this.
00:08:55
Speaker
and I joined late and the first thing I said was, Kayla and you went, I already defended myself. I already told the girls. Yeah. I was like, listen, girls, you're going to see me first. I swear to do it. Yeah. And of course, if Christian McCaffrey is like, you know, the first one of the first people on there, of course I'm going to pick him. Like what? I'm trying to win. I'm trying to win. It was the same thing last year. I can't remember who, who was the first pick last year or a couple of years ago. I remember I, I was the first pick in my other league and I picked Jonathan Taylor and on Wisconsin baby go badgers. He ended up sucking that year. The year before was like his his big Heyday. And then the year after that, when he was supposed to be like the best he sucked, but Christian McCaffrey, I don't think we'll do that at all, especially considering he's been in the league for several years now. He's really gotten.
00:09:47
Speaker
I mean, Kayla, I'm crossing my fingers for you, but I had Christian McCaffrey my family know first two years playing fantasy and he got injured like a season ending injury both times. I know. it's It is a risk. It is a risk because he is very injury prone, but.
00:10:02
Speaker
Anyway, I just wanted to defend myself last year than anybody else. So, so. yeah And Kendra got her Joe Burrow so she can, she can zip it. Listen, it's Joe Burrow's year. He's single. He bleached that hair. Buzz cut it. Like he's just so hot. Like I i saw a video of him this morning and I almost did it to you, Kayla, to be an asshole, but like he just looks so good. And like, I never denied that Joe Burrow is a good looking man. I just don't think he's the most good looking man in the league, but know you know, he's a good looking man.
00:10:28
Speaker
Okay, but you know, in books when like they always describe the man's ass, I've never really cared about a man's ass like ever in my life. I always like roll my eyes when they get I saw his today. I was like, Oh my god, it's so big. Like, why does he have that low key? No, I mean, the waist is not the waist is very much giving like a chunk, but I like that. I was like, Oh my gosh, like Cause yeah, I always roll my eyes when that happens in books, like I don't care about a man's ass, like. Bro, there are some authors who are like obsessed with asses. I'm like, you're an ass woman. I can tell. yeah
00:11:02
Speaker
Anyway. yeah ah and i i I never. Yeah. who Wait, I do have a question though. Okay. So I know who Kendra's is. Brandy, who do you think is the most attractive man in the NFL? Jalen Hurts. Okay. Agree. That's who I was going to say as well. That's a fair, that's a good answer. Yeah. Thank you. That was without thinking about it. If I sat down and like looked and really thought about it, I don't know, but Jalen Hurts pops into my head that anybody talks about hot football players.
00:11:28
Speaker
When people thought it was going to be Jalen Hurtson, Joe Burrow at the Super Bowl like two years ago, they call it the Super Hole. Yeah. Joe Burrow wouldn't even have played. Two years ago? Oh, two years ago. Sorry. Yeah. I was thinking last year. Not bad. Yeah. Come on, Kayla. Not me knowing more than you. I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be. You watch football? I know. No, because it ended up being the Chiefs and the Eagles, remember?
00:11:51
Speaker
Well yes, of course I remember, but what was I thinking of? And we were there to watch it, and we were there to watch it. Yeah, it was fun. Anyway, okay. Alright, anyway, let's get going with the quote game.
Quote Guessing Game
00:12:05
Speaker
We'll each take a turn in each round, so we've each written down quotes. Who would like to go first?
00:12:12
Speaker
I can go first with what I think is going to be a little easy. I'm so bad at these. i But you know remember last time, you're like, this one is so easy that nobody could get it. So like I think it's easy, but I don't know. I suck at this to be honest. Since I've become an audio person, closer to you, it's harder. Yeah, so true. OK, this one, i have ah've I've taken out the names, obviously. So I'm going to alter it slightly. OK.
00:12:35
Speaker
She hissed his name. What? She pulled on his sleeve, his shoulders swayed. She wanted to set everything on fire. She wanted to remember him every little bit of him. That's slow dance. Okay. That was so easy. I know. I was like, I'll start off with a release. Yeah. The minute you started speaking in third person, that narrowed it down.
00:12:56
Speaker
Really easy. Wow, point for me. Yeah, point for Kendra. Okay, I'll go next. um I think this one will be really easy and I'm like being so deadass. God shirted, take his time on you, honey. Oh, not cricket. Oh, no, I know that quote, but, honey. I know that quote, but I like can't, I can't place it. Do you want a hint? Oh, yes is it? What's our romance?
00:13:20
Speaker
No. No. It's um it's one of our favorite books of the year. All of us. Ready or not. No. no Play along. Yes. Fuck.
00:13:35
Speaker
Let's play along. God, God. Yeah, I heard that. You know what? You know what? Draw my memory is my candle is sitting on my desk. Thank you. So like candle. Yeah. OK. This one is also I we're all starting off with our easiest ones, I feel like. And of course, I adjusted fine a little bit, but your name is your name is no curse. I just like the taste of it. Belladonna. Yeah.
00:14:03
Speaker
Good job. sorry bit of buzzing sound um I feel like mine are easy, but I don't know you guys. I was just trying to pick quotes that like that we could actually get. Yeah. Right. Okay. Cause it's pure silence. Yeah. Okay. You're not asking too much. He said you're just asking the wrong person. Ask me instead. Just for the summer. Yeah.
00:14:25
Speaker
Easy. My my man Justin. That was good Tim. Okay. I expect one person to get this here. I don't know about the other one. I want you any way I can have you. I want you every way I can have you. I just want it to be honest.
00:14:44
Speaker
I don't want to sound stupid when I guess this. I want you any way I can have you. I again, familiar. Can you tell which one of us you're expecting to get it? Kayla. Yeah, I think it's me once. Is that one star? roman No, that's not one star romance. Have I read this book? Yes, we all read this book. We all read it this year. Oh, obviously, you guys liked it more. Kayla liked it the most. Oh, the Friendship Study. No, damn it.
00:15:23
Speaker
This summer will be different. No, I think I like that book. Yeah, you're right. I do. and No, I love that book. Oh, is it the X-Miles? Yes. Oh, my God.
00:15:36
Speaker
Kayla's not a super cat. Revoke my Jessica Joyce card. Oh, my God. That's crazy. Oh, dear. Okay. Cut that out of the episode. No, I'm just kidding. No, I know. I know. I'm totally kidding. For shame. Just kidding. Okay. All right. My turn. It strikes me that perhaps I'm not an easy woman to love, but blank does it so ever effortlessly that I feel like I could be like I deserve to be. Is that winter? Yes, it is. Wow. Good job. That was good. That was so fast.
00:16:11
Speaker
Anytime I think about difficult women to love, it narrows down my pick. Okay. This is it. I warned her. I'm it for you after this. You've always been it for me. She gutted me by saying, Oh girl, I do not know. No, I suck at this.
00:16:27
Speaker
I feel like the this is it for me or whatever like that sounds so familiar. I'll give you context. Yeah, like she's been wanting to sleep with him really badly. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. But then he's like, finally, like, okay, if we do this, I'm here for you. She's always been it for me. What's the genre? Like what? Like what's the sub genre of this taboo romance?
00:16:52
Speaker
Is it a Gianna Darling book? Is it um Welcome to the Dark Side? Sure is. Because once you describe the context of it, I was like, OK, wait, there's only a certain type. I would only accept a girl begging for that in one. Yeah, in like a taboo romance where it's like on borderline illegal. Yeah.
00:17:13
Speaker
Yeah. That's why I giggled at the beginning of the episode when Kayla was like, we've all read these books. We've all liked them. I've been like, yeah, we've all read them. At least liked them. Yeah. Or at least i said I said bare minimum, we've read them. Yeah. OK. OK. You're wonderful. You're the reason for the word wonderful. It really shouldn't be used for anything else. Is that ready or not? No. OK.
00:17:43
Speaker
Oh, I got no idea. You guys both liked this book more than I did. Oh, wonderful. Is that. this summer roman no No, neither of those. OK, no. No summer in the title. Every time. Funny story. Yes.
00:18:02
Speaker
Oh, wow. Good one, good one, good one. That's right. Okay. He helink he blinks down at me as slow as... Oh my God, let me restart. Can you read?
00:18:26
Speaker
Anyway. I'm just gonna act ahead and happen. He blinks down at me, a slow expression filled with a depth that only decades of knowing someone can give you. This here is a man who knows me and I feel known. Decades. Is that left of forever? No, I would never do that. That's why I was like, that'd be crazy. No, I would never do that. Decades.
00:18:53
Speaker
Mm-hmm. When did we read this book? Early this year. Early this year. Is it Into the Dark? What? Into the Dark? No. We read it the same month, though. We read it in January? Or at least you and I did. Wait, is it ready or not? It is ready or not. There you go. Okay. Okay. Are we ready or not in January? I don't know. I guess that makes sense. Yeah.
00:19:22
Speaker
Yeah, I read it in February. Okay. This one I think is my hardest one on here, but maybe it will be easy. I don't know. Okay. You have to freak out with me because I need you and I love you. I love you so much it paralyzes me to think of carrying on without you. You're not allowed to shut me out because you made me need you and now you have to deal with the consequences. No. Is that into the dark? No. No. I guess so. You made me need you and now you have to deal with the consequences. That sounds so familiar.
00:19:54
Speaker
and This is pretty, is this pretty recent? We read this book last year. Last year? I would say we all loved this book the same amount. Like, was it a five star for us? Yes. Oh, okay. I can give you another hint that might make it easier is that there's already been a quote from this book used today by somebody else. Breakfast? Yeah. Okay. That's winter. Yeah.
00:20:23
Speaker
That was good. boom I can't give you the past, but we could have a future. Sat once our romance. No, none of my quotes. I should have pulled one from once our romance, but because that sounds like it could be. Yeah. It sounds like somebody with commitment issues. I don't know. ah We've already. hint ah We have already used a quote from this book as well in this game. Ready or not. Is this just for a summer? No. Slow dance? No. Yes. Yay. OK. ah Sorry, Caleb. You should have loved that book.
00:21:01
Speaker
Oh my god. Okay. All right. Number four. It's you I love. I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn't have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabberest thing, but it is yours. Oh, fuck. Oh, is that Crow Prince? It is. It's damn it. Which book? Is it um um Queen of Nothing? It is, yeah. Good job. It's Cardin.
00:21:29
Speaker
They're just like certain buzzwords that Holly Black, you know, it just like screams her. We're eating scabrous. Yeah. Thing. Yeah. Like calling like a lover a heart or something. A thing. That's like so. OK. My last one. This one I think is really easy, but OK. It's fun. So I wanted to pull it.
00:21:47
Speaker
Is this the part where you tell me I can order anything I want and it's on you? He's gassed absolutely not. What do you think that I made of money? You can order off the two for 20 menu. And if you're a good girl and eat all your dinner, maybe I'll splurge. Play along. Isaiah. Yeah. ah couldn griefe I was waiting I was waiting for her to finish. I wanted to pull a quote from play along, but I was like, I can't i like, I love that quote. I think it's so funny. And it's like so clear his personality. Okay. This quote is like one of my favorite quotes ever.
00:22:17
Speaker
but I don't think I'm like obnoxious about it being one of my favorite quotes ever, so I don't know if you guys will get it, but I think you would, maybe, we'll see. um You deserve every good thing, even when you're having dark thoughts, you deserve to be happy, even when you're not well.
00:22:35
Speaker
I feel like we have talked about this being your favorite quote before. We've all read this at different times, though. Is it from this year? I read it last year. The book came out, though, this year at the beginning of the year. OK.
00:22:55
Speaker
um Into the dark? No, no, no. It is like the third book and maybe a very loosely interconnected standalone series. Oh, is it just for summer? No, I said very loosely. Oh, I guess that's not very loose, is it? Yeah.
00:23:13
Speaker
hum
00:23:16
Speaker
um wait this book does take place overseas oh love unwritten no damn it that's not overseas well i part parts of it that's it is part of it is um like all of this book takes place overseas okay and we have said on this pod before that this author is very underrated Oh, Sarah Grinder Ruiz. Yes. Yes.
00:23:46
Speaker
yes Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know. On the seas. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Good job. OK. Really good. And my. My last one. It's super long. So I'm going to cut it down and probably only say half of it. But I fully expect one of you to get this super quick. And if you don't. Card is revoked. OK. It's going to be a Shadowhunters quote. I already know it.
00:24:14
Speaker
I want you all the time. I think of you all the fucking time. I'm distracted. I'm shit at work. And my first instinct, the very first time I saw you was to run away because I knew that if we'd start doing this, we would never stop. And that's exactly how it is. There is no universe in which I'm going to let you go. I want to be with you on you every second of the day. There's a lot more, but I stopped right now. What is this? No, like I know that who whose card will be revoked. Kendra's.
00:24:46
Speaker
I'm shit at work. When did I read this book? Last year. All of us did. Well. Last year. Yeah. Pretty sure. Oh, is it is it ah love theoretically? It is. There you go. After a couple hints. There you go. All right. First of all, you did not get an excellent quote earlier. I know. I know. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Jessica Joyce? No. No. OK.
00:25:14
Speaker
Fun points after the quote game. I love that quote. I have oh no idea. We all got a couple. We all got a couple. It is fun guessing. like That's like the best part. Yeah. I love how like sometimes I feel so confident. I'm like, oh, duh, this. No.
00:25:30
Speaker
Love it. Okay.

Speaker
somebody else's kid. Belondino Taylor, kid safe, I'm wearing all black. It's not Ellie. It is Ellie. It is? She wears all black? Yeah, that's like a plot point. Then she wears something colorful.

Was Kinder said Ethan first? That was like a tie almost. You said the guy from Summer Roamades. Somebody said Eli first. I can't remember who said. You said Eli first. I said Eli. No, Ethan. Because isn't the guy from The Summer Will Be Different? Isn't his name Eli?
00:32:44
Speaker
I don't think so. No, I mean, I forget his name. No, I mean, the girl's name. There's Eli in Georgia from Exvows. But his oh, no, this summer his name is Felix. Oh, there you go. Close, you know, even Felix Eli. I should have been Eli from the Exvows because I had have been like Gold Chain and Kayla would have been like, oh, my God, it's Eli. Oh, shut up.
00:33:13
Speaker
Sorry, I'm surrounded by fifth graders again, now you guys. That's when like her nipples tighten and her legs. Kayla at the mention of Eli's chain. In our group chat the other day, I sent a photo. What was it? It was like a meme of women-lomeranda making that like super awkward pose. yeah and Hold on, let me find what the caption was. It was so funny.
00:33:38
Speaker
Then we just like talked about me trying to act normal, but my pussy is throbbing. yeah and i was like Every like romance heroine when she runs into her love interest at the coffee shop, it's pussy throbbing. And the cash was like, I hate when they talk about popping a boner in public in romance books.
00:33:57
Speaker
okay And like, I really enjoyed this book. Okay, I did. But I read The Front Runner by Elsie Silver this month, recording this in August. There's a scene, in this is not a spoiler, but there's a scene when he goes to like have dinner with her family.
00:34:12
Speaker
her half Indian family and he's at this dinner in his inner thoughts like, oh, like my cock and like, I wanna fuck. And I'm just like, bro, like you're at dinner, like control it. Like I get why it's done, I really do, but like, I don't know.
00:34:32
Speaker
If I got home after having dinner with someone and they were just like the whole time I was thinking about, bro, like break it up in there. Yeah, like to teach you. You control yourself around my family.
Trope Guessing Game
00:34:45
Speaker
OK,
00:34:46
Speaker
ah ok onto to our final game, the trope wheel. I'm going to do my best to say them right when I can tell when they're going to land. since I'm going to be the one pressing the button and I don't want it to be unfair.
00:35:00
Speaker
Cool. Are you guys ready? Mm-hmm. Yes. I'm going to be so bad at this. As a reminder, you guys, we're going to spin the wheel. There are tropes all on this wheel. And we have to find a book that fits both of the tropes that are spun. I was really good at this one last time. Maybe this will be our redemption. First one is, he washed her hair. No. Oh, God. I'm already out. I don't know. OK. And oh, we're fucked. And vacation romance.
00:35:29
Speaker
Oh, wait, actually, the Paradise problem. Oh, fuck. Does he do that in Paradise? They shower. I think I'm probably showering count. Yeah. OK. I was going to do they definitely shower together and shower together her hair because it's pink. Yeah, I'm going to say I'll say that counts. OK. Pink haired. Nice. As Kidder would say. Pink haired bitch. That's what she was. I like that book. It was cute. It was cute. It was just like such a very like. Yeah. It's just a solid romance book. Yeah. All right. First on a small town. OK.
00:35:58
Speaker
And the second one is fake dating. Oh, I'm hopeless. Elsie Silver. Damn engagement. But that counts. That counts. That counts. Good job. So quick. I'm not good at these. I need like I need like at least 30 seconds. Well, to be fair, the minute it landed on the other one that said like showering, I already had hopeless. I was like, OK, let me just like have one on the OK, first one for the next one is opposites attract and friends to lovers.
00:36:29
Speaker
Oh, ah people who we meet on vacation. True. Yeah. I was going to say fan girl. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's like a really good opposite. I feel like I feel like you again could count to. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yes. Next one, workplace romance. OK. And the second part is secret tattoo. Oh, yikes. Oh, fuck. Is there any?
00:36:58
Speaker
not that i can think of that's insane imagine finding out your boss has a secret tattoo for you yeah ah just but there's someone listening right now that's like why aren't they saying this we probably haven't read it well let's think about like think about it in terms of like okay they met before they became co-workers and then they became co-workers
00:37:19
Speaker
because that's the only way, I think. Isn't there like a Laura Pavlov book that's like that that? Isn't there a Nanny X Second Chance? Kayla, the last one in that last series. After The Storm? I don't remember if he has a tattoo. He might. He does, for sure, know that because somebody spoiled it. I haven't read that book. But she says Nanny, right, in Second Chance? Yes. We'll just draw on this one. I literally don't remember.
00:37:46
Speaker
Okay, we'll call, we'll say, good job, that one, you win. Yeah. but Someone give us the answer, please. I literally can't recall. That's crazy. First part is billionaire slash millionaire, whatever, rich. One of them is rich. huh And the second one is, ooh, ex-boyfriend's dad. Oh, um I mean, give me Tyler. Sarah Kate, yeah. Yeah. Right. Right, Sarah Kate, what was yours?
00:38:16
Speaker
Um, I was going to say the one we just did from QB Tyler. Yeah. That's that explains dad though. That's cheating. Oh fuck. You're right. But she has a dad. That's just her boss. Does she have a dad one? What am I thinking of?
00:38:31
Speaker
Oh, I'm thinking of it being her. Never mind. I'm mixing my QB. Yeah. Sorry, Brittany. You're thinking that it's her literal father figure. Not her ex-boyfriend's dad. Yeah. Are we under her stepfather or something? Yeah. It's very hot. Okay. We'll go with- We'll go with- We'll go with Sarah Kate. All right. First one is friends with benefits. The second one is best friend's brother.
00:39:01
Speaker
This summer will be different. Oh, fuck. I finally got one. That one is like literally those are the two tropes that I would pick for it if it was. yeah I love that book. It's a good but yeah book. Yeah, that book is really good. OK, first one, Forest Proximity and... Sorry, it's right on the cusp. Sports Romance. Oh, Wall of Winnipeg, yeah.
00:39:28
Speaker
Yeah, well, Winnipeg and me from Luke off with love. I mean, this one isn't really forced, but I guess like play with me is like they're in the same building. I don't know. so I mean, yeah play along. She's she's working there. Oh, you like travel with him because to keep up appearances. So good. Yeah. The right move roommates. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Liz, you're very good at force proximity. Caught up. Yeah.
00:39:57
Speaker
that's yeah yeah and my high because that's workplace all right the first one for the next one is grumpy sunshine and the second one brother's best friend false start there you go nailed it i love that there's any other great book because i definitely wouldn't consider done in dusted grumpy sunshine um Oh, wait, no, business casual is not brother's best friend. That's best friends, but they're not even best friends. That's casual friends, brother. Wait, what were the trips again? I already forgot. Brother's best friend and grumpy sunshine. Could reckless count? but I mean, like, it would be the opposite, though, because it would be like, because it's. No, brother-in-law, brother-in-law. Yeah, I don't know. I tend to steer clear of brother's best friend.
00:40:54
Speaker
I know. Yeah. It can be touchy. All right. For the next one, the first trope is one bed. The second one is accidental pregnancy. Oh, out on a limb. Oh, yeah. Sure. Yeah. There's that scene in case anybody forgot, there's that scene where his dad is staying. So he's taking.
00:41:18
Speaker
Bo's room and then Bo sleeps on the couch the first night and is just in like such pain that when is like just we can just share the bed tonight. So that's after she's already pregnant. All right. The first trope for the next one is organized crime. Think Mafia Motorcycle Club.
00:41:38
Speaker
And the second trope is single parent. Oh, um, Bloody Heart by Sophie, like. Damn. Mafia, single mom. yeah That's That one is so good. Is there any single parents in? I mean, Zeus is a single dad. You're so right.
00:42:05
Speaker
His kids are grown. Kayla likes smile. No, technically his kids are underage. And that's when your kids are grown. If his kids are grown, then so is Lou. Ew. Same age. All right. Next one. Taboo is the first one. And the second one is Second Chance. I mean, I haven't read it. Well, I don't know if it's considered taboo, but QB has that Forget Me Not book. You know what I'm talking about?
00:42:35
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I know that second chance. I just don't know how i feel like i have taboo I just don't know how taboo that one is to be considered like yeah okay Yeah, let's say that one for there's not a Sarah Kate book Is not madam book like isn't that sort of Oh, yeah, yeah, kind of. Yeah, let's do that, because it's a it's a Dom sub throuple romance. So let's go with that. OK, the last one, I didn't look at the last two. These are last two tropes on the wheel. So we're going to say them and we'll all know at the same time. Enemies to lovers and found family. Corprins. No, that's not from family. I say.
00:43:21
Speaker
um That's like for just honestly yours. Did that count? No, that's again, that's also kind of their family. Well, I mean, sort of. I mean, I think there's a fo family element there. Yeah. um And I guess we could call that enemy slovers if we really wanted to. But that's one of those enemy slovers where they never actually hated each other. Right. Like, can I say Simon Snow? Yeah. OK. Yeah, I mean, like, again. Yeah. You know, one of them kind of did, but it was OK.
00:43:54
Speaker
Wow. Crushed it. Everybody rack up your points. I have 7,022. I think I definitely won. Oh, that's crazy. I have a Catrillion. Catrillion? I have an eternity of points. I have an infinity point. No, no, no. Go back. Catrillion? Yeah. Exactly. It's so big. You don't even know where it lands. After a million Catrillion, you don't even know where that goes. It's so big.

That would be so hard. I have been doing that on accident lately. Like anytime anybody tells me a scenario at work, I'm like, imagine if that was a romance book. You know what I mean? So I'm down of doing that. I think that's so much fun.
