Diabolically Horny For Corset Vests〡The Nightmare Before Kissmas and 2026 Goals

Welcome back to Homebodies! We're kicking off Season 1 a little late with a discussion of The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch. Do you also get horned up over corset vests? In this holiday-themed romance, the Prince of Christmas and the Prince of Halloween are forced into a fake marriage competition. It's funny, well-written, and did what it needed to do.  We'll chat about some of our favorite reads of 2025, both on the pod and on our own. We're working on changing our mindsets surrounding reading goals. Instead of consuming hundreds in a year we are both slowing down and taking the time to really enjoy the books we want to. We chat about other things we're hoping to get out of the new year.
