About this listen

Welcome to It's Canon, where we talk about the books everyone can’t stop talking about and maybe a few you haven't heard of yet.

From BookTok favorites to dark romance, romantasy, contemporary love stories, and indie or debut author reads, we’re here to unpack the characters, the relationships, and all the chaotic decisions that keep readers hooked.

We're not your typical bookish podcast. Some episodes feel like a full book club discussion. Others are more of a deep dive into a book that has us spiraling. Either way, expect honest reactions, strong opinions about morally gray book boyfriends, and the occasional literary meltdown.

If you love romance books, book recommendations, and conversations that go a little off the rails, you’re in the right place.

New episodes every other week.

  • Who Is the Best Book Boyfriend? We Settled It. | March Madness Romance Bracket | It’s Canon Ep. 5
    Mar 3 2026

    Welcome back to It’s Canon, the romance podcast where we overanalyze fictional men.

    In Episode 5, we’re hosting our very own March Madness–style bracket: Battle of the Book Boyfriends. Each host brings their favorite romance MMC and their most iconic quotes, and we put them head-to-head in a dramatic quote showdown.

    We’re talking:

    • The most swoon-worthy romance quotes
    • Jealous vs protective energy in book boyfriends
    • Loyalty, commitment, and possessiveness in romance
    • Emotional monologues that changed us
    • Yearning vs obsession, where’s the line?
    • Character analysis through dialogue
    • The ultimate book boyfriend competition

    Which fictional man delivers the most powerful declaration of love?
    Does delivery matter more than the words themselves?
    And who wins when devotion goes up against dominance?

    Expect competitive chaos, deep character breakdowns, unexpected tiebreakers, and one crowned champion.

    If you love:
    Romance books
    Book boyfriend debates
    March Madness brackets
    Romantic quotes
    Fandom discussions
    Literary character analysis
    Or screaming about fictional men with your friends
