"Get a mocha-frappa-bullsh*t that I LOVE" - Gendered by T.C. Morgan
Chasity and Andréa delve into what seems to be a utopia where gender doesn't exist until you're 16... but is it? T.C. Morgan's "Gendered" explores what might happen if humans modified themselves to birth sexless "slates" who are then given a test that reveals their gender. And how it might all go terribly wrong.

"Girl... you a monster f*cker?" - How to Get A Girlfriend (When You're a Terrifying Monster" by Marie Cardno
Cthulhu-esque monsters, witchy scientists with portals, and a lot of screaming? Sounds like a sapphic romance to me! In the second installment of trying to read books based on their husbands' interests, Andréa ended up finding a book that was more to hers and Chasity's interests...whoops! This is also our first tipsy edition!
Find this book here (https://a.co/d/80ICDfZ) or in bookstores.

Husbando Edition - Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Chasity and Andréa are dragging their husbands into it! This week's surprise "make me read it" was Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots. A combination of "The Boys" and "The Venture Brothers", Hench follows Anna, as she goes from office working temp for villains to master airer-of-dirty-laundry on the superheroes. Even though Chasity didn't finish (we were on a time crunch!), the first half of this massive book is action packed. Will the husbands want to read it? Let's try to convince them!
You can find Hench here (https://a.co/d/3sNTuwQ) or anywhere books are sold.
