The Spicy Librarian Podcast is the dark romance and romantasy podcast for readers who love yapping about books just as much as reading them. Every Thursday, D and Katie bring you honest, unhinged, and genuinely obsessive conversations about the romance books everyone is talking about, the indie titles you need to add to your TBR immediately, and the ones that kept them up until 3am. From morally grey love interests to enemies-to-lovers slow burns, from sapphic romance to why choose - if it's spicy, if it's dark, if it has made at least one of them feral, it's on the pod. Plus, as the team behind Europe's biggest independent romance bookshop, D and Katie bring a perspective on the romance community that goes far deeper than just the books. Expect book club deep dives, author interviews with some of the biggest and most exciting names in dark romance and romantasy, unhinged games, hot takes, and the kind of honest book chat you only get from your most chaotic, well-read book besties.

There is so so much going on we can’t tell you fast enough, from book club and releasing new events and the fact we can’t keep books on the shelf for longer than 5 hours! Keep your eyes on our socials and stay close. Don't say we didn't warn you. 👀 We've also got exciting reads lined up for future book clubs that we can't spill on just yet — but trust us, your TBR is about to suffer beautifully. Now. Let's talk about Melting Point by Cici Williams. This month's book club pick had us in an absolute CHOKEHOLD. Set against the glittering chaos of the Winter Olympics in Italy, this best-friends-to-lovers, fake-dating slow burn follows snowboarder Sam Harrington and her lifelong best friend Finn — who just happens to have been secretly in love with her for years. When their team sponsorship falls through, they agree to fake a relationship to save everything. What could possibly go wrong? (Everything. Beautifully, deliciously everything.) And because we love you, we sat down with author Cici Williams herself for an exclusive interview- we talked the Olympics setting, the slow burn, THAT tension, everything in between AND the very exciting updates on what Cici is up next and very soon! This one is genuinely unmissable.
