Relaunch Incoming!

You might be wondering if the Library of Cursed books has closed its doors to the world and if Chris and Elsa have fallen off the face of the Earth.

Shadows, Moonlight and Desperation

In today's installment of Nightbane, Isla continues to attempt to seduce Oro (she is so desperate it's kind of sad) while also proposing a public demonstration of her powers via a traditional Wildling feast. Shadow Daddy broadcasts a warning to all of Lightlark declaring war and offering an ultimatum: leave Lightlark or die with the island. Fearing the worst, Isla makes an appeal to Cleo to stay on Lightlark. We also witness the final version of Chris's version of Isla's musical voice. 😅 📖 Support Novel Ideas 📖 Join us on Patreon for bonus episodes and tomfoolery: https://www.patreon.com/TheLibraryofCursedBooks [https://www.patreon.com/TheLibraryofCursedBooks] Support the Library of Cursed Books by buying a “cursed book” via Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/novelideaspod [https://ko-fi.com/novelideaspod] Check out our merch: https://my-store-eee38b.creator-spring.com/ [https://my-store-eee38b.creator-spring.com/] Collab with Us: https://forms.gle/eAhPjNofem4HPYtS7 [https://forms.gle/eAhPjNofem4HPYtS7] Business Inquiries: novelideaspod@gmail.com [novelideaspod@gmail.com] 📖 Affiliate Links 📖 Pango Books: https://pangobooks.com/ELSAROCHELLE [https://pangobooks.com/ELSAROCHELLE] New users can save $5 off their first order of $10+ by using code ELSAROCHELLE at checkout ♡ 📖 Get Social with Novel Ideas! 📖 Novel Ideas Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/novelideas [https://www.twitch.tv/novelideas] Elsa’s Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/elsarochelle [https://www.twitch.tv/elsarochelle] Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/novelideas.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/novelideas.bsky.social] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/novelideaspod/ [https://www.instagram.com/novelideaspod/] Twitter: https://x.com/novelideas_pod [https://x.com/novelideas_pod] Linktree: https://linktr.ee/novelideaspod [https://linktr.ee/novelideaspod] Elsa's GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/elsarochelle [http://www.goodreads.com/elsarochelle] Elsa’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/lacunathelost [https://linktr.ee/lacunathelost] Chris’s GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/162528952-c-mallinger [https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/162528952-c-mallinger] Chris’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/teerexington [https://linktr.ee/teerexington] 📖 Sources 📖 Nightbane, Alex Aster

A Leopard by Any Other Name

We’re baaaaaaack! And so is our girl Isla. In today’s adventures, Isla seeks out an animal companion as well as Oro’s pet snake (if you know what we’re saying, lol). We also get more of that sweet, sweet enemies-to-lovers tension between Isla and Grim via Isla’s dreams/memories!

Welcome to Oro’s Rock of Love

In today’s episode, Elsa forces Chris to read the first almost spicy scene between Isla and Grim as we explore memories of a love forgotten. …Or at least a love erased from Isla’s memory until the untangling of her powers leads her to dream of her past with our favorite Shadow Daddy. Meanwhile in the present Oro teaches us that love is blindfolding your partner and hurling rocks at them. Seriously, it’s better than sex. 📖 Ask Us Questions 📖 NGL: https://ngl.link/novelideas [https://ngl.link/novelideas] 📖 Support Novel Ideas 📖 Join us on Patreon for bonus episodes and tomfoolery: https://www.patreon.com/TheLibraryofCursedBooks [https://www.patreon.com/TheLibraryofCursedBooks] Support the Library of Cursed Books by buying a “cursed book” via Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/novelideaspod [https://ko-fi.com/novelideaspod] Check out our merch: https://my-store-eee38b.creator-spring.com/ [https://my-store-eee38b.creator-spring.com/] Collab with Us: https://forms.gle/eAhPjNofem4HPYtS7 [https://forms.gle/eAhPjNofem4HPYtS7] Business Inquiries: novelideaspod@gmail.com [novelideaspod@gmail.com] Suggestions for Neurotica Erotica: elsafromnovelideas@gmail.com [elsafromnovelideas@gmail.com] 📖 Affiliate Links 📖 Pango Books: https://pangobooks.com/ELSAROCHELLE [https://pangobooks.com/ELSAROCHELLE] New users can save $5 off their first order of $10+ by using code ELSAROCHELLE at checkout ♡ 📖 Get Social with Novel Ideas! 📖 NovelIdeas Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/novelideas [https://www.twitch.tv/novelideas] Elsa’s Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/elsarochelle [https://www.twitch.tv/elsarochelle] Threads: https://www.threads.net/@novelideaspod [https://www.threads.net/@novelideaspod] Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/novelideas.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/novelideas.bsky.social] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/novelideaspod/ [https://www.instagram.com/novelideaspod/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/novelestofideas [https://www.facebook.com/novelestofideas] Linktree: https://linktr.ee/novelideaspod [https://linktr.ee/novelideaspod] Elsa's GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/elsarochelle [http://www.goodreads.com/elsarochelle] Chris’s GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/162528952-c-mallinger [https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/162528952-c-mallinger] 📖 Sources 📖 Nightbane, Alex Aster
