Greetings, all you rebellious flappers and stoic shipping tycoons! In this episode, we'll talk about ways to emerge from the dreaded reading slump and list bonkers category romance titles until the cows come home. Plus, punny Christmas romance, Shandy defends her favorite number, and Shannon explains what exactly it means when Mercury is in retrograde!
