Happy Holidays! Tis the season to be your authentic self. We had an early morning (her time!) interview with the lovely indie author Anna P. We talk about what her Desi culture, colorism and what it is like being an indie queer South Asian writer. To learn more about Anna P and all her books, go here.


In our What is BookTok reading segement, we get a plethora of recommendations from Booktoker and social media maven Addy aka EducatedCloud11. She gives you a ton of series to get you all started and hooked this holiday season.

There’s a particular comfort in losing yourself in a romantic story, whether it’s on screen or on the page. Romance in Colour is that feeling turned into conversation, hosted by real-life friends Tati R. and Yaki E. Tati, a romance author, and Dr. Yaki, a psychologist, share more than just a friendship-they share a deep, abiding love for romance narratives and a specific lens shaped by their experiences. This podcast lives in the space where their fandom meets thoughtful discussion, breaking down everything from beloved TV movies to trending romance novels. They aren’t just reviewing plots; they’re diving into the emotional mechanics, the cultural touchstones, and the specific joys of seeing stories through a Black Xennial perspective. You’ll hear the easy rapport of two friends who get why a certain trope works or why a character’s journey resonates, blending professional insight with genuine fan enthusiasm. It’s for anyone who believes a perfect afternoon involves a great love story and wants to unpack it with some smart, funny people. Tune in to hear them quench that mutual thirst for romance and hand you the glass, episode by episode.
