1st/2nd November
It’s that time of year again! October is the #AScareADay challenge (one short story or poem every day). I curate a list HERE.
Join in the read along!
At the end we have a book group to discuss the experience but it’s not compulsory! You also don’t have to have read every story.
8th/9th November
Our first talk of November looks at the zombie rom-com so reading Warm Bodies was an obvious choice.
Bonus points if you also watch the film!
15th/16th November
For our paranormal romance month, we are journeying to a medieval forest for a tale of two knights in deadly peril.
22nd/23rd November
When Eru was eleven years old, he met an unforgettable boy.
Only a few weeks after, he forgot all about that boy.
Ten years later, after his parents’ sudden deaths, all Eru wants is to find a way out of the village he was supposed to leave behind, and escape the abuse of his grieving grandmother. When he receives a summons from Able Mummy, the wife of the High Chief, it seems all of his prayers have been answered.
Able Mummy needs his help. But she and the High Chief have a secret.
Once Eru uncovers the truth, he finds that the fate of the village, and that of the boy he’d been made to forget, could lie solely in his hands.
29th/30th November
Dear _
This past weekend my fiancé (24 M) and I (23 F) were at a party at a friend’s and I’ll admit we both got pretty wasted….
Apparently sometime that night he asked me if it was okay to summon a demon for a threesome before our wedding, and according to him, I told him, “Yes.”
I don’t actually remember this happening so clearly? But his friends must have heard me—because a week later, they’d all pitched in to have a Delectably Demonic ™ summoning kit delivered to our house for him.
I want to put my foot down, but that would make him sad. I think he was really looking forward to it after I told him it’d be okay—and his friends really did spend a lot of money on this thing. It’s top of the line, and they can’t return it. You know how demons are.
So I kind of feel like a jerk. I mean, I did say yes, and I don’t want to let him down.
If I tell him no . . .
AITA?
AITA? is a sizzling sapphic romcom
28th December
