CURRENTLY READING

🩷 Krista: The Love Simulation by Etta Easton

💛 Becca: Burn Bright (reread post-writing), Destructively Mine (reread), Dangerously Ours (reread while writing) - basically it's a big ole rereading fest of our own work for me while we're in the writing trenches!

LAST MOVIE WATCHED

🩷 Krista: Mickey 17 - Rating 5/10Marked Men: Rule + Shaw - Rating 8/10

💛 Becca: The Florida Project - Rating 10/10: I'd wanted to watch this one for the longest time, and one late night after writing, I decided to decompress and put it on. Such an amazing film. It reminded me why Krista & I love indie movies so damn much. Marked Men: Rule + Shaw - Rating 8/10: This is the film adaptation of Jay Crownover's Rule! We love seeing more early 2010s romances coming to life on the big screen! The directing for this film was phenomenal. It was a bit gritty and didn't have the usual Hallmark sheen. We totally dug it, and we wished it were an actual TV series. Also the cast was 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Alien: Romulus - Rating 7/10: I finally got around to watching this one after Krista raved over it last year, and I really enjoyed the storyline! I didn't know where it was going to go, but I have to say...Ridley Scott definitely has a thing for the Romulus and Remus story because the whole setting really reminded me of Raised by Wolves (a short-lived but amazing TV series he created). They weren't copy-paste similar, but he definitely loves that story! But I'm here for it -- I would likely watch anything he made.

BEST IN TV

🩷 Krista: The Pitt

💛 Becca: The Pitt, Survivor, Deal or No Deal Island (Season 2), The Amazing Race

The Pitt just ended, and it's by far one of the best seasons of television we've seen in a long time. Highly recommend! Most especially if you already love ER from back in the day. Survivor and The Amazing Race have also been great watches this season! If you haven't tuned into the newest seasons yet, they're really addicting and have rootable casts.

Also, DONDI was a stand-out this year! I didn't watch the first season, but I jumped into the second season because Krista & I love David from Australian Survivor and he was cast, along with one of our fav Big Brother players -- Dr. Will! Every player this season was wildly entertaining, and the challenges were also surprisingly engaging and super fun. If you already love Survivor and Big Brother, you'll likely enjoy this show too.

CURRENTLY WRITING

🩷 Krista: Dangerously Ours - the final book in the Webs We Weave Series + Frog & Quinn for Patreon

💛 Becca: Dangerously Ours - the final book in the Webs We Weave Series

SONG ON REPEAT

🩷 Krista: Alright by Pilot Speed

💛 Becca: Control by Garbage - I kind of imagine this being a badass theme song if the Webs We Weave series was a TV show and had an title opener moment 😂 A girl can dream!

LATEST ADVENTURE

🩷 Krista: Went to Apollycon 2025!! 🥳

💛 Becca: Went to Apollycon 2025!! 🥰

Thank you to everyone who saw us in D.C. and stopped by our table!

Have you watched or read any of these yet? We hope you've been enjoying all the things the beginning of the year has had to offer! ✨

Strongly considering starting The Pitt after finishing up 9-1-1 (can you guess how far I've gotten since I saw you on Saturday lol)

Dalila

Oooh I’ve been wanting to watch the Pitt!! The currently writing!! Ahhh can’t wait for more Quinn & Frog!! Becca’s CR BURN BRIGHT!!! Love it!!🤭💙

AJ

I love how Becca goes into detail and Krista just succinctly answers 🤣 I personally would be answering just like Krista, but I do love when you give us your thoughts, Becca! 💙

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

AHHHH I AM OBSESSED WITH THE PITT!!! It was sooooooooooooo good I'm dying for the second season already!! SOOO EXCITED ABOUT BB!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHH and frog and quinn!! Woop woop!!

cass (ben’s version)

omg i LOVE the pitt!!!! i volunteered for SXSW in march and met shabana azeez who plays dr. javadi. she was the absolute sweetest girl ever. she said hi to me everytime we ran into each other after we first met!

Haley Secen

Finished season one...and two.... and am on episode 12 of season 3....

Allyn Hamrick

I’m a sucker for any season with Boston Rob (obvi season 8 because of the love story), but also REALLY love season 20 (heroes vs. villains)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg I LOVE her character! I’m so happy she’s coming back next season. Her tripping up everytime she’s around Mateo had me 😂 it was so relatable. She also quickly became my fav in their little interview clips—she seems so down to earth and fun! That’s so awesome you got to meet her and she’s just as sweet in person!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

OMGGGGG!!! I am SHOCKED! But also so hyped!!! 🙌🙌 you are amazing!! I can’t wait for you to catch up so you can love Tommy (lol jk, you will probably also join the Buddie ship 😂)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I’m the opposite with B Rob 😆 I always root against him! But I’ve loved all the seasons he’s been on, minus the Redemption one? It’s the only season I never finished. But I think the format was mostly the downfall there

Haley Secen

Andrea is definitely trying her best to pull me onto that ship LOL

Allyn Hamrick

HAHAHA WAIT THATS SO FUNNY — what’s you absolute fav season?

AJ

We love when you share and interact with us!!

Andrea

Pleaseeee I’m literally not, the content is doing that all by itself 😂

Haley Secen

Allyn - the disagreements between Andrea and Becca are too funny to witness. I need to understand the context (and now I just really love the show and the characters)

YAY! I always look forward to these updates! :) 𝐓𝐕 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬: • I made sure to keep up with this season of “Survivor” and I’m loving this season! This cast is so entertaining + fun to watch! :) I’m loving Kamilla + Kyle as a duo! • I (finally) started watching “The Amazing Race”! I’m really enjoying it & I’m mad at myself for not starting it sooner! I’m not a fan of Jonathan, though. I like Ana, but I’m always rooting against their team because I don’t like Jonathan (I just hate how he treats Ana sometimes ☹️). • “Extracted” on Fox has been my recent obsession! I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it / have seen ads for it, but it involves 12 untrained competitors trying to survive in the Canadian wilderness! The interesting part, though, is that two of their loved ones are watching everything unfold via live feed. Their families are the only ones that can send supplies to those in the wilderness (and so the families at HQ have to form alliances with one another, backstab other families, etc.)! I usually try to tune into all of the new survival shows that I see are airing (I’m still crossing my fingers for a third season of “Race to Survive” 🤞), but I’m much more obsessed with “Extracted” than I expected to be. The social play + strategizing of the families at HQ is the most intriguing thing about the show - I love watching it all unfold! 🤎🤎 • Have you watched season 3 of “Yellowjackets”, Becca (👀)? I don’t watch it—watch it, but I kept getting TikToks about everything that was happening each week (so I feel like I’ve been keeping up with it alongside everyone else lol 😂). 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬: I always love your song recs! :’) The songs that have been on constant rotation for me recently: • “I Don’t Care” - Fall Out Boy (the entire “Folie à Deux” album has been on repeat for me since January). • “Hanging By A Moment” - Lifehouse (I love a good throwback moment)! • Lots of MUNA! “Home By Now”, “Silk Chiffon” (a classic of theirs), etc.! I adore them! They bring on the spring + summer vibes for me! 🤎🤎🤎

I've discovered a new band this week :) it's called " secret shame " the song writing is phenomenon with handling heavy topics

Sara

Having serious The Pitt withdrawals today. The last episode wrapped up the season so perfectly. Excited for everything they’ve shared for season 2! A friend said she’s watching ER to feel closer to Noah Wyle, and honestly…I might start doing the same 😆 Might I suggest Severance if you haven’t watched. Best tv show! I also feel like it would be on Lunnelly’s watch list 💚

.

Who are you all favourite characters in the pitt? Coz i have been loving it so much. Its definitely one of my favourite show of 2025 so far

m

Started ER like halfway through watching the Pitt because I needed to see baby Noah Wyle. Now I’m in love with Ross and Carol. My favourite character on the Pitt is Santos for sure. But top 5 are Robby, Collins, Santos, Mohan and Victoria!

m

Also I read a book called Mayluna by Kelley McNeil. Highly recommend if you feel like being sad all day.

Becca’s currently readings are what I wish I was currently reading 😭 lol

Hey girls! These posts are literally my favorite every single time 😇 they’re such a bright spot in my feed. I’m completely obsessed, honestly. 🙏 I’ve been fascinated by your recent tv watches, especially all the reality TV content—Survivor and Deal or No Deal Island? That’s so niche and fun. But quick question: where do you watch Deal or No Deal Island? Because I didn’t even know that was a thing, and now I feel like I’m missing out. 👀 On my end, I’ve been rewatching old Vanderpump Rules—they’re so unhinged, I can’t look away. With everything happening in The Valley (Season 2 especially), it’s wild seeing Jax Taylor continue to be… well, Jax. He might be the worst human ever, but somehow he also makes for such incredible TV. Rewatching early seasons is just insane. And I have to admit—I kind of miss Stassi. She was such a mean girl to Sheena, especially early on, but Sheena has always had that intense “pick me” energy, so I get why that rubbed people the wrong way too. 😭 It’s honestly a tough balance, and I’d love to know who you think each watch from the Like Us or from the Dishonestly Yours crew (or even us readers!), would be watching what reality shows you guys are into right now! Speaking of—oh my GOD, I just finished Dishonestly Yours and I’m officially obsessed 🍓. I read it in prep for the new book, and I’m so glad I did because WOW. I haven’t felt this deep in love with an ensemble cast in years—not since I first discovered the Like Us series over a decade ago. It’s such a rare feeling! Most romances these days are very pairing-focused and contained novels, but with Dishonestly Yours, I just want to live with these characters longer. I don’t want to leave them after one book or even one year. I want the era of Rocky and Phoebe. I want to be inside that world the way we were with Moffy & Farrow, or Luna & Donnelly. You know when it becomes more than just a pairing—it becomes a time, a mood, a whole vibe you carry with you day to day? That’s what I love most about the format you’ve mastered 📑where couples get multiple books, but more than that, the universe itself is given room to breathe. It’s not just about getting more of a pairing (though, yes please), it’s about staying in the world. I remember when I was reading about Luna, I literally started reading Star Wars comics again and imagining what she would watch. That’s the kind of immersive, lived-in feeling your books create, and I just love it. I hope we get so much more after Book 3—I’m honestly not ready to say goodbye. On another note—I’m so happy you went to Appolycon! It sounds like such a major event in the U.S. romance world. I mostly hear about the fantasy conventions, so this was a fun peek into another scene. But now I have to say it again: please come to London! Every time you go to a con and it’s not here, I get so sad. I already have the restaurant picked out where we could all go—I’m just saying, we’d have the best catch-up. It would be so gorgeous and cozy and exactly the kind of serotonin boost we all need. Anyway, sending you all so much love. Thank you for everything you do and for creating stories that feel like home. You’re truly building something special, and I feel so lucky to be part of the journey as a fan. Lots of love always, Laura

Oh!! I totally forgot to talk about books and there’s been a lot! I finally finished Book 3 of Malazan Book of the Fallen, and wow—this is hands down the toughest series I’ve ever read but also the most rewarding. It’s not difficult like Tolkien’s prose or in a heavy philosophical, Kantian way, it’s tough because the storytelling structure demands so much trust from the reader. You really have to let go of needing to “understand everything” right away and instead just go scene by scene, moment by moment. The show-don’t-tell method is taken to the extreme, and at first, you feel so lost it’s almost like gaslighting yourself into thinking you’ve forgotten how to read! 🤣 What’s wild about Malazan is that you’re dropped in, no guide, no exposition, no POV character learning the ropes for the first time. Every character already knows the world intimately, and you’re just thrown into it with them. There’s no self-insert or tutorial moment, it’s pure exposure therapy until your brain starts to click. I’m three books in and I still don’t fully understand the magic system, but I cling to the characters I recognise! Each book introduces like 50 new characters, reuses others, and slowly builds into what is truly one of the most complex epics ever written. By Book 10, we’re dealing with 500+ characters! And the covers?? Such a disservice to what is easily the greatest fantasy series alive right now. Thankfully, The Broken Binding (a UK-based company, definitely check them out!) is releasing stunning new editions with custom artwork, endpapers, signed versions, the works. They’re really giving it the deluxe treatment a la Sanderson’s leather bounds, but at a way more reasonable price point (like ~£100 for a 3-book set!). I’ve already preordered books 4–6, even though my first three are still delayed since last summer… but I don’t even care. I’m so excited to get my hands on them! 👀 Oh! I also started Wind and Truth because I love reading Stormlight Archive during the summer, Roshar just has this dry, arid atmosphere that totally fits that vibe, especially when I’m in Italy with my family. I’m having so many ship feelings right now. The pairing they’re teasing?? Luna and Lily would be kicking their feet and squealing. It’s that black cat x sunshine girl trope we all love, the grumpy, tortured guy with the bright, bubbly heroine. My heart is screaming, especially for Kaladin… 😁 Would love to know what you girls think about all the Stormlight characters if you’ve read them! And speaking of reading: I know you’re deep into your own writing right now (which is SO exciting!!), but are you reading anything fun on the side? Are any comics in rotation? I’ve fallen behind on the X-Men (sadly, it seems like the current era has a lot of out-of-character writing, which is disappointing), but I’ve been loving the new Ultimate Spider-Man, he’s married, the art is amazing, and it’s such a fresh take. Also: still treasuring the Star Wars comics you gifted me! I’m currently on Volume 2, but I’ve been savoring them slowly because I don’t want to rush it. They’re so special to me. So yeah…that’s my little book and comic update! Would love to hear what you’re reading (or excited about), and if you’ve picked up anything recently outside of work. Always love chatting all things fantasy, comics, and characters with you! Big hugs and lots of love (again haha), Laura
