    In this special holiday episode, Haley and Dee are joined by Queer Girl Film Club to talk about The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith and it's transition to film in Carol, directed by Todd Haynes. We couldn't be more excited to join these stellar friends from across the pond to chit chat about sapphic yearning, being fluent in the meaning behind Rooney Mara's eyes, and Cate Blanchett's sexy back. Spoiler alert, we don't ALL love this book/film, but to the ones who don't, you're wrong! Thank you for listening and be sure to follow along for more bonus Off the Page episodes just like this one!

    Happy Holidays! We're so happy you're here!

    Cliterature the Podcast gets merry and gay reviewing Ashley Herring Blake's Make the Season Bright. Haley and Dee dive into holiday traditions, found family, and a gorgeous second chance romance in a book that checked all the boxes for a cozy Christmas read to give us all the warm and fuzzies. Cheers to Mistletoe Margaritas, glitter explosions, leg lamps, and love a long time coming. The cheery queery in all of us needed this one!

    PS. We use the word C-U-N-Tuesday in this episode. Multiple times. If that one is a little too hard for you, we get it! Skip ahead at the warning and keep listening. (Though the conversation is hilarious, if I do say so myself.)

    We're so happy you're here. Happy Holidays!

    On this episode we jump Under the Covers with bestselling WLW author Rachel Lacey! We dig into her shift from heteronormative romance to sapphic romance, why sapphic love stories feel like home, and at least one Gillian Anderson spiral.

    Listen to our Under the Covers episodes for more author interviews, queer romance deep dives, and unhinged sapphic commentary between two book besties.

    We're so happy you're here!

  • Lumberjack Tweed

    Pull on your flannel and pour something pumpkin-spiced, because this week we’re diving into Learning Curves by Rachel Lacey, and we’re calling it “Lumberjack Tweed” for a reason. Think cozy fall vibes, flirty pottery, and communication so good it deserves its own romance novel. We chat post-breakup insecurities, inclusive spaces, and why sometimes the real spice is in being seen and heard (okay, and also that pottery scene that’s hotter than a kiln on high.)

    Letters tucked into the rings of a tree. Messages hidden in the dance of a flame. A love story woven across centuries, galaxies, and battlefields. In this episode of Cliterature, we dive headfirst into Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's award winning novella, This is How You Lose the Time War.

    We're talking enemies to lovers at its most poetic, queer longing that transcends time, and why epistolary form makes this book one of the most devastatingly romantic reads in sapphic literature.

    Join us as we gush, analyze, and sigh over Red and Blue's impossible love story. If you haven't read the book, consider this your sign. If you have, let's lose this time war together!
