Lusty Library: A Spicy Romance Book Podcast
The Lusty Library is a romance novel podcast hosted by Joey, Birdie, and Lexx, known as The Dirty Dames. Each episode they dive into a romance novel they've never read before, covering steamy contemporary, dark romance, romantasy, and chaotic BookTok recommendations. They often veer off topic into discussions about morally gray book boyfriends, spicy scenes, and questionable fictional men. The show features hilarious banter and unapologetic smut talk for fans of romance books.

Ep. 51 Birdie's Pick- Flock

Congratulations to us! We have officially reached 50 episodes, which is honestly terrifying because this podcast should've been put on a watchlist around Episode 3... and yet, here we are.

Ep. 48 Birdie’s Pick- The Poisoner
Nobody expected a gothic Victorian romance to get everyone acting unhinged, but The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia has managed to do just that! Birdie was done the moment she saw the cover.

Ep. 45 Birdie’s Pick- Heated Rivalry Part 2
Birdie claimed part two was “for closure,” which is hilarious because there is no closure in this episode, but rather the continuation of a rapid, irreversible descent into the cult of male/male hockey romance...In this special Part-2 Episode, The Dames reheat Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid for another glorious hour, all while making utterly lewd hydration choices. At this point, Birdie has dropped
Ep. 44 Birdie’s Pick- Heated Rivalry
Birdie held the podcast hostage and threatened to quit unless we read this book immediately, so obviously we folded like a cheap lawn chair.

Ep. 40 Birdie’s Pick- Morning Glory Milking Farm
If this podcast had HR, OSHA, or even a mildly concerned manager, this episode would’ve been shut down before the record button finished blinking. Join The Dames as we recklessly clock in at Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. Wildly over educated and mildly under qualified, we may have treated this book like hands-on job training. What starts as “surely this will be fine” devolves into
Ep. 39 Lexx’s Pick- The Naughty List
Forget cocoa, small towns, and wholesome holiday kisses—This holiday season, The Dames skipped the sugar and went straight for the spice with The Naughty List by Jade West.
