Welcome back to The Lit Library! Grab a seat and some water as we turn the temperature alllll the way up as we welcome the incomparable Aria “Big Unk” Daze, a rising force in modern Black erotica whose pen knows exactly where to press, tease, and linger.

Your favorite literary baddies sit down with Aria to talk craft, kink, character obsession, and the delicious nonlinear magic of writing desire that feels lived-in, sensual, and boldly Black. We get into the worlds she builds, the intimacy she honors, the freedom erotica gives our communities, and how she balances softness with scorch.

From her creative rituals to the scenes that nearly wrote themselves, Aria lets us peek behind the curtain, and babayyyyy, it is a view.

If you love conversations about sex-positive storytelling, authentic heat, and the black authors pushing the genre forward, this is your episode. Pour a drink, dim the lights, and slide into this episode.

Welcome to The Lit Library, where the books are Black, the discussions are bold, and this week’s lesson might just save… or corrupt you.

Things are getting dangerously delicious in The Lit Library this month. We cracked open Our Vicious Oaths expecting a little magic, a little mayhem… and instead got a whole buffet of backstabbing besties, morally flexible hotties, ancient curses with no respect for personal boundaries, and enough jaw-dropping plot twists to make us question our own life choices.

Join us as we dive headfirst into N.E. Davenport’s lush, lethal world where alliances shift faster than our attention spans, romance simmers hotter than our coffee (which is saying something), and everyone is one bad decision away from either saving the realm or accidentally summoning something with too many teeth.

We’ll break down the drama, thirst over the characters we absolutely should NOT be thirsting over, and attempt to answer the most pressing question of all:

Would we survive these vicious oaths, or would we trip over a spell circle and immediately die?

Grab your enchanted snacks and tune in—this episode is equal parts chaos, cackling, and scandalous book-nerd joy.

This week in The Lit Library’s road to #BRBF26, the ladies welcome the incomparable Tia Love, author of the wildly addictive Bible Study.

We’re diving deep into the pages where devotion meets temptation, faith meets flesh, and the sanctuary gets just a little… steamy. Tia takes us behind the altar and into the writing process, sharing how she crafted a story that blends Black church culture, family secrets, irresistible chemistry, and characters you absolutely should not be rooting for, but do anyway.

Expect laughter, gasps, confession-level honesty, and a whole lot of “girl, did that

really happen?” as we unpack the themes, the drama, the messy saints, and everything that makes Bible Study a can’t-put-down favorite.

Whether you’re a longtime Tia Love reader or brand new to her work, this episode will have you grabbing your highlighters, your headphones, and maybe saying a tiny prayer before you hit play.
