This week, we’re discussing reports of indie bookshops left waiting for major releases while big retailers allegedly put copies on shelves early. From missed sales and release parties to spoilers and frustrated readers, who takes responsibility when a highly anticipated book launch goes wrong? And do the same rules really apply to everyone?

Plus, we discuss the treatment of Rebecca Yarros following her father’s passing and the Fourth Wing casting conversation taking over BookTok.

Dark romance often comes with a long list of trigger warnings, but what about thrillers and horror? 👀 
This week, we’re discussing why expectations differ between genres, whether content warnings spoil the story, and when a warning starts sounding more like a selling point.
Do you check content warnings before reading, or prefer to go in blind?
Grab your drink and let’s sip, flip, and spill the tea! 📚🍸
CHAPTERS
0:00 - intro
6:00 - what are trigger warnings?
7:43 - why are they so prominent in dark romance?
13:10 - the difference between dark romance + thrillers
17:26 - does knowing the genre tell you which triggers are in the book?
22:04 - is avoiding a spoiler more important than trigger warnings?
26:18 - RAPID FIRE
40:20 - questions for you & lines we loved! | member shout-outs
