Very excited that TSTL was listed on the Smart Bitches Trashy Books’ romance-focused podcast roundup. And welcome to all the new listeners who’ve come this way. You’re in a for a treat.
New Episode! The Experiment with Amanda Sitko
UGH! I know you probably waited FOREVER for a new episode. But finally here it is! I had been traveling, but, as many of you know, that means I had plenty of time to read some awesome books on the plane. And my first episode since returning to the States is super fun. My good friend Amanda Sitko (writer for IFC’s Brockmire) is my special guest and I had the best time recording this episode.
Today we review ‘The Experiment’ by HelenKay Dimon. It’s currently $2.99 on Amazon. The book is published through James Patterson’s BookShots Flames. They publish books specifically to be a quick read for your various commuting experiences or waiting room escapades. Here’s the synopsis on Amazon, which I will say doesn’t entirely represent what the book is actually about. That being said the actual plot of the book is something I’ve never read before. Though not perfect, it’s original and will stick with you.
Annie Sullivan has spent her life running from her past, until she meets her soul mate, Jasper Monroe. But she isn't willing to settle down with him yet, because there's just one thing missing--one last erotic experience--that may define her relationship... or destroy it.
So please enjoy the episode! You can listen on SoundCloud, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.
New Episode! "Her Sexy Valentine" with Deborah Tarica
Picasso was DEFINITELY thinking of this book cover when he said, "Love is the greatest refreshment in life." For TSTL's super sexy special Valentine’s Day episode, Upright Citizen's Brigade performer/teacher Deborah Tarica joins me as we review the romance novel “Her Sexy Valentine.” Listen here!
I had such a good time recording this episode and Deborah was an exceptional guest. She talks about the amusing experiences she’s had with romance novels, and our discussion of "Her Sexy Valentine" gets hot AND heavy. Plus, you'll wanna hear what kind of language is used to describe a clitoris in our sexy excerpt.
Catch Deborah in the Youtube Red series “Do You Want to See a Dead Body?” with Rob Heubel.
"Her Sexy Valentine" is written by Stephanie Bond and was published by Harlequin in 2010. It is currently $1.99 on Amazon.
Book Recommendation - "Restart Me Up"
Enjoy listening to guest Lesley Tsina on the latest episode of Too Stupid Live? Then I definitely recommend reading her book, Restart Me Up: The Unauthorized, Un-Accurate Oral History of Windows 95. It is, dare I say, laugh-out-loud hilarious.
Here's the description:
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the greatest technological achievement known to mankind: Windows 95. (With all due respect, the telephone and nuclear fission can suck it.) This is the untold, unbelievable, largely untrue story of the creation of Windows 95. Go behind the system and meet those who made it all possible: the beleaguered programmers who became addicted to snorting Pixy Stix, the marketers who employed mass hypnosis tactics to trick the press, the violent battle to squash a literal giant bug in the code, the focus group idiots who only cared about getting pizza for lunch, and "mighty god" Bill Gates, who engaged in a money suitcase stand-off with Mick Jagger over the rights to "Start Me Up." It's the story of how a tiny operating system patch became a multinational, mundane media phenomenon.
