The Litdulterous Whore - A Podcast

What if you lived a hundred different lives, travelled through countless worlds, and then met the one person who made you want to stay?
We’re joined by author Sean W. Willson on Spill the Book to talk about his genre-bending novel, The Hundred Lives I Lived Before You, a love story that throws romance, alternate realities, pirates, planets, kingdoms, and some seriously complicated life choices into the same universe.
Meet Ren, a man who wakes up in different eras and realities without warning. He has no control over where he goes next, until he meets someone who makes him question everything.
We’re getting into the inspiration behind the book, building worlds that refuse to stay still, writing romance across alternate realities, creating emotional twists without spoiling the mystery, and deciding whether love really is worth risking everything for.
And because this is Spill the Book, we’re not letting Sean escape without a little chaos.
We put him through rapid-fire bookish questions, impossible Would You Rather dilemmas, fictional character confessions, and our Build-a-Romance challenge, where the ingredients for a romance novel get progressively more questionable.
Will Sean create a sweeping love story or a literary disaster involving an emotionally unavailable dragon? You'll have to watch to find out.
In this episode:
The story behind The Hundred Lives I Lived Before You
Writing romance across alternate realities
The challenge of creating different worlds, timelines, and characters
Love, fate, identity, and finding your place in the world
Sean's writing process and life as an author
Bookish confessions, fictional character red flags, and rapid-fire questions
Build-a-Romance: author edition

Are you buying books to read them… or just to experience the happiness of having more books on the way? Welcome to the unhinged side of being a reader.
In this episode, we’re confessing the bookish habits we pretend are completely normal: buying books we know we won’t read anytime soon, collecting entire series before starting the first book, defending fictional men who desperately need professional help, and taking it personally when someone gives our favourite book three stars.
We’re getting into Book of the Month, Aardvark book boxes, unread TBR piles, trophy copies, reading goals that turn into unpaid jobs, and the very specific emotional damage of recommending a book to a friend who finishes it and says… it was okay.
Because apparently reading isn’t just a relaxing hobby anymore. It has an administrative department, a fictional legal team, and a surveillance unit monitoring our friends’ reading progress.
And yes, I have receipts. My unread books are officially part of the investigation.
In this episode:
Why monthly book boxes make us happy, even when we haven’t read the books already on our shelves
The unread books and entire series we keep buying anyway
Why our TBR piles can turn into guilt instead of excitement
Defending fictional men whose behaviour would be a real-life red flag
Getting personally offended when someone dislikes our favourite book
Recommending books with absolutely no pressure (except all the pressure)
Monitoring our friends’ reading progress and waiting for the emotional breakdown
Why a book recommendation is an invitation, not a legally binding contract
YOUR TURN: What is your most unhinged reading habit that you absolutely refuse to give up? Do you buy books faster than you read them, collect trophy copies, defend fictional red flags, or expect your friends to love every book you recommend?
Drop your confession in the comments. We promise not to put you on trial. Probably.

Spooky season is here, the TBR is out of control, and apparently we thought the best solution was to invent an entire horror novel ourselves.
Welcome back to Stace & Jace Spill the Book, where we spill the tea on books, questionable reading decisions, and whatever literary nonsense happens when two book lovers get together.
In this spooky episode, we're talking about our most anticipated upcoming books for October, November, and December 2026. We're looking at witches, haunted houses, dark fantasy, magical creatures, mysterious family secrets, and romances that could go spectacularly wrong.
Books on our spooky season radar:
THE WITCH by Freida McFadden — A creepy seventeenth-century family estate, a clock that stops at 3:41 a.m., mysterious voices, and a possible connection to the Salem witch trials. What could possibly go wrong?
DEFY THE DUSK by Danielle L. Jensen — A post-apocalyptic fantasy filled with dangerous magic, nocturnal monsters, political intrigue, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a feral king who might be more trouble than he's worth.
MY UNFAMILIAR by Mara Rutherford — A grumpy mage, a magical matchmaking mishap, a mysterious familiar bond, and a cozy fantasy romance that might just get wonderfully chaotic.
But that's not all.
We're also building our own spooky novel from scratch. There's a ghost named Elias, a creepy Victorian house, photographs that shouldn't exist, a suspicious basement, and secrets that keep getting worse. We take turns adding to the story, and once something becomes canon, neither of us can take it back.
Will we create a genuinely terrifying thriller, a twisted supernatural mystery, or the most unhinged book never to see a publishing contract?
You decide.
JOIN THE SPILL SQUADSubscribe to the channel, like the episode, and tell us which upcoming book deserves a spot on your TBR.
COMMENT BELOW:Would you rather move into a haunted Victorian mansion, survive a world full of nocturnal monsters, or become magically bonded to a grumpy mage?
And the most important question of all: if your boyfriend was a ghost, would you date him? Finally, a man with no baggage. Just a body bag.

I have reached 78% of the book.
The couple is finally happy.
They have communicated. They have grown. The dog approves. We are THIS CLOSE to the happily ever after.
So naturally...
THEY BREAK UP.
Welcome to Litdulterous, where we love romance books, questionable fictional decisions, and occasionally need to drag two fictional adults into court for crimes against communication.
Today we're putting the third-act breakup on trial.
We're talking:• The 78% breakup emergency• Miscommunication that could be solved with ONE SENTENCE• I’m leaving you for your own good• The ex who mysteriously appears when everything is going well• Characters suddenly forgetting everything they learned for 300 pages• The grovel economy• Grand gestures that do not equal accountability• When a third-act breakup actually works• And why sometimes I just want fictional adults to answer their damn phones
The verdict?
Not every third-act breakup is guilty.
But the cheap ones?
GUILTY.
Tell me in the comments: What third-act breakup made you want to walk directly into the book and chair an emergency meeting?
And tell me the opposite: Which book actually EARNED its breakup and gave you a reunion you believed?
Please use spoiler warnings when necessary. We are literary degenerates, but we still have procedures.

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia

🎃 THE PEOPLE VS. PUMPKIN SPICE
Pumpkin spice is officially on trial! Is it the ultimate symbol of fall or has it invaded absolutely everything? We're bringing in witnesses, examining the evidence and delivering a very important verdict.
🍁 WHAT ACTUALLY MAKES A FALL BOOK?
Is it small towns, cozy coffee shops, haunted houses, apple picking, fall festivals, forced proximity, fireplaces or a ridiculously attractive book boyfriend? We're creating the ultimate fall book formula.
🔥 PLUS:
Fall bookish This or That
Spill the Line: Fall Edition

BOOK MOTHER SCHMUCKER IS TAKING BOOK TROPES TO COURT. And nobody is getting off easy.
We love books. We love romance. We love our fictional men who are six-foot-seven, emotionally unavailable, and apparently allergic to therapy. BUT SOME TROPES HAVE GOT TO GO.
In this unhinged BookTok rant, Book Mother Schmucker puts five overused book tropes on trial, and the verdicts are NOT looking good.
⚖️ ENEMIES TO LOVERS — Since when did attempted murder become foreplay?
⚖️ MISCOMMUNICATION — Two hundred pages of drama that could have been solved with ONE TEXT MESSAGE.
⚖️ THE ALPHA MALE — Six-foot-seven, filthy rich, emotionally constipated, owns a helicopter, but somehow can't afford a therapist.
⚖️ FATED MATES — Apparently your wolf knows he's your soulmate before you've even learned his last name.
⚖️ THE PLAIN JANE FMC — Every man in a fifty-mile radius is obsessed with her, but somehow she still thinks she's average.
From shadow daddies and possessive billionaires to horny wolves and heroines who don't know they're hot, we're calling out the book tropes that have overstayed their welcome.
And before anyone comes for Book Mother Schmucker, YES, WE STILL LOVE OUR BOOKS. We just want characters who occasionally behave like functioning adults.
📚 LET'S TALK BOOK TROPES!
What book trope has officially overstayed its welcome? Which one makes you want to DNF a book before you've even finished the synopsis? Tell us in the comments!

PREPARE TO BE OFFENDED.
We have opinions.
Five stars does NOT mean perfect.DNFing is NOT quitting.Audiobooks absolutely COUNT.Reading slowly still counts.Your TBR is a lie.BookTok hype can ruin a perfectly good reading experience.You can hate a beloved bestseller.You can love a book and still admit it is a complete fucking mess.And no, you do NOT have to read an author's entire backlist.
In this episode of Litdulterous Whore, we're taking the safety scissors off and talking about the unpopular book opinions that apparently send BookTok into a full-scale meltdown.
We're talking reading goals, Goodreads pressure, special editions, book buying, book covers, romance, toxic fictional relationships, book adaptations, rereading, happy endings, overhyped books, and why reading does not need to become a fucking productivity competition.
Basically: we're judging books, defending our right to DNF them, and probably offending somebody along the way.

What's your most unpopular book opinion?
And if you disagree with us, that's okay.
We're probably going to DNF your comment.

What happens when your five-year anniversary trip to Barcelona turns into a solo European adventure because your girlfriend dumps you right before the flight?
You go anyway.
In this episode of Spill the Book, we sit down with author Ian Ostroff to talk about Barcelona with Love — a story packed with heartbreak, solo travel, questionable hostel accommodations, accidental romance, European adventures, and one very unforgettable British entrepreneur.
We talk about Noah's disastrous breakup, Rachel's questionable life choices, Phoebe's fearless energy, solo travel, Barcelona, Sephardic heritage, food, writing, travel, and what happens when starting over takes you somewhere you never expected to go.
Plus, we get into Ian's writing process, the inspiration behind the characters, his travels, bookish habits, reviews, audiobook dream casting, and plenty of completely unnecessary but very important questions.
If you've ever wanted to run away after a breakup and reinvent your entire life somewhere in Europe, this one is for you.

What happens when loving someone slowly starts costing you pieces of yourself?
In this episode of Litdulterous Whore, Stacey sits down with author Hunter Snow to talk about her powerful 5-star novel, Between You, Me, and the Fence Post.
This isn't just a love story.
It's a raw conversation about addiction, toxic relationships, manipulation, emotional survival, enabling, red flags, and the complicated question of what happens when loving someone doesn't mean you can save them.
Between You, Me, and the Fence Post follows Claire Davis, an actress who has spent her life pretending, both on screen and off. When she meets Reed Hart, she finds herself caught in a relationship where love, addiction, hope, and self-preservation collide.
And we have questions.
We talk about Claire and Reed, the reality of addiction, the difference between supporting someone and enabling them, why people sometimes fall in love with potential instead of reality, and that dangerous little sentence so many people have heard:
But he's not always like this.
Then we make things considerably less serious.
Hunter takes on our Red Flag or Just Being an Idiot round, a rapid-fire This or That, the Fence Post Would You Rather, and our Bookish Dirt Round.
And yes...
We ask which fictional man she'd absolutely let ruin her life.
Because apparently that's journalism.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Between You, Me, and the Fence Post by Hunter Snow is an emotionally charged story about love, addiction, complicated relationships, and the painful process of learning that choosing yourself isn't selfish.
If you've ever stayed too long, ignored the red flags, believed the promises, or looked at a fictional relationship and screamed GIRL, RUN...
This episode is for you.

ABOUT LITDULTEROUS WHORE
We read the books, judge the decisions, obsess over fictional people, and occasionally wonder whether the characters need a therapist or just a very aggressive friend with a car.

we hope you have the reading week you deserve.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT RIDOC'S VOICE BEHIND THE MICROPHONE… AND THEN START ASKING QUESTIONS?
Today on Spill the Book, we're joined by the incredibly talented Robb Moreira, the voice behind Ridoc—the character who somehow manages to make questionable decisions sound completely charming.
You know the guy.
The one who walks into a life-or-death situation and you immediately think:
“Oh good. He's going to make this worse.”
Yep.
That guy.
But today we're stepping away from the character and getting to know the person behind the microphone.
In this episode, we talk with Robb about voice acting, audiobook narration, bringing fictional characters to life, reading scripts, performance, and what it's actually like to become the voice listeners hear in their heads.
And because this is Spill the Book…
We couldn't possibly behave ourselves.
We're getting personal.
We're reading scripts together.
And we're bringing back one of our favourite games:
🔥 MAKE IT SPILL
Where we take a perfectly innocent sentence and make it hotter, more awkward, more dramatic, or significantly sadder than any human being should reasonably have to experience.
So will Robb maintain his dignity?
Absolutely not.
Probably.
Maybe.
We're very sorry in advance.
🎙️ Getting to know Robb Moreira beyond the microphone 🎧 What it's like to narrate audiobooks 📖 Bringing a fictional character to life through voice 🎭 Acting vs. audiobook narration 📝 Reading and performing scripts 🔥 The character behind the voice 😂 Our favourite Make It Spill challenge 💬 Personal questions and plenty of chaos 🎙️ What happens when an audiobook narrator gets put on the spot
If you're a fan of Ridoc, audiobooks, voice actors, audiobook narration, fantasy books, bookish interviews, or the people behind the voices that make fictional characters feel real, you're going to want to listen to this one.
What makes an audiobook narrator unforgettable to you?
Is it the character voices?
The emotion?
The ability to make you completely forget you're listening to someone read?
Or is there a particular audiobook narrator whose voice you would recognize ANYWHERE?
And be honest…
Who would you trust to narrate your life? 😂
