Monstrously Curious About When the Heck Typical Eurocentric Gender Roles Will Die

Alien cowboys in space! Well I guess technically they aren't cowboys because they aren't cows they're...alien cows and they aren't boys because they're alien men. Alien cow-creature men in space! This week we read Wrangled by the Alien Rancher by Ursa Dax. A very cute book about which we have only good things to say (surprise!). Join us as we discuss the persistent annoyance of gender roles, wife guys and of course that alien D. It's a surprise! Email as at ask@monstrouslycurious.com or dm us at monstrously_curious [https://www.instagram.com/monstrously_curious/] to tell us about your favorite cocktail!

Monstrously Curious About The Sex Education of a Millennia Old Wolf Shifter

This week we read Taming Kane by Tessa Stone. A book based in the  most romantic place on earth... the Upper Peninsula of Michigan state. Where men can be men or lions or wolves or possibly dragons? And they can also find their "perfect" mate after centuries of being cursed by a witch? TBD on the "perfect" part because it seems the perfection is more about the woman with the working-est womb than about anything personality related.    Join us as we discuss age gaps that go above and beyond, breeding kinks, and the very thin difference between the good guy and the bad guy in this book. All while Ashley tries to convince me that this book is similar to Vampire Diaries. Email as at ask@monstrouslycurious.com or dm us at monstrously_curious [https://www.instagram.com/monstrously_curious/] to tell us your ideal place to be seduced by an animal shifter. Intro song: Take Your Time (Do It Right) by S.O.S Band [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs8dp2ofgyo&pp=ygUVcy5vLnMgYmFuZCBzb3VsIHRyYWlu] Interlude music: Just listen to the episode Outro song: Pagan Love Song by The Glen Miller Orchestra

Monstrously Curious About When You Get That Feeling You Want Sexual....Molting?

Imagine you’re abducted by aliens, dropped off on a planet wearing only a nightie and forced to run around a mysterious complex where the walls keep changing and you’re being chased by monstrous creatures. What would be the first thing you’d do? Bone a dragon shifter guy who describes you as a “bedwarmer”? That’s exactly what I was going to say! Jinx! That’s what makes this week’s book so relatable. We read Draco by Hattie Jacks. An alien dragon shifter book with a huge penis and a huge-r terrible personality. Join us as we discuss the logistics of sex with a dragon, the less then sexy behaviors of a possessive male and the number one way to not behave when you’re a guest in somebody’s home. Oh! And of course, as the title suggests, there’s a sexy scaly sloughing scene. The “sexy” part of that is definitely subjective. Email as at ask@monstrouslycurious.com or dm us at monstrously_curious [https://www.instagram.com/monstrously_curious/] to let us know how you would feel about a sexual sloughing experience. Intro song: Take Your Time (Do It Right) by S.O.S Band [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs8dp2ofgyo&pp=ygUVcy5vLnMgYmFuZCBzb3VsIHRyYWlu] Interlude music: Music from Har-You Percussion Group [https://archive.org/details/Sounds_Of_The_Ghetto_Youth-3858/Har-You_Percussion_Group_-_05_-_Welcome_To_The_Party.mp3]to set the mood for Draco's swishy hips. (That's right. There's also a dance scene) Outro song: Pagan Love Song by The Glen Miller Orchestra

Monstrously Curious About Why the Term "Lose Your Virginity" Sucks

...and speaking of "sucking", this week's book was about vampires! (that joke really lands if you read the episode title first, I promise).  This week, we read Better Off Red by Rebekah Weatherspoon, a 2011 lesbian vampire romp that exemplifies all the things people fear about liberal arts colleges. And, as someone who graduated college around this time, let me just say, this was a 100% accurate portrayal of college life in the mid aughts  (or whatever we decided to call those years). Join us as we discuss: the positive things about where we are now as a society, the one word that will ruin Ashley's day forever now, and most importantly, what's a little nipple pinching between friends?  Email as at ask@monstrouslycurious.com or dm us at monstrously_curious [https://www.instagram.com/monstrously_curious/] to let us know why you  joined a sorority (even if you didn't, let's play pretend). Also for just regular stuff like recommendations and questions.

Monstrously Curious About When to Pull Off the Blindfold

This week we read Deal With A Demon by Ami Wright [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144699275-deal-with-a-demon], a story about a contract that's about as reliable as me saying I'd have this episode out last Thursday, and we can all see how that worked out. But alas, what’s a girl with a dream to do, when a wide mouthed weirdo is offering thousands of dollarinos and a whole lot of head for the small small price of her autonomy? Join us as we discover the ideal time to abandon your sister, discuss what the default “noodles” dish is, and how many red flags it takes to make a green flag (the answer is five divided by 0). Email as at ask@monstrouslycurious.com or dm us at monstrously_curious [https://www.instagram.com/monstrously_curious/] to let us know what “I want noodles” means to you!
