One of the special guests of Blussh Romance Festival, Dr Jodi McAlister, joined Sharyn and Lou for a live pod recording at Blussh Romance Festival in the marketplace at Coorparoo Square in Brisbane.

Donning the headsets, with Justin from Bridge Media on the mixing deck, Jodi delivered the feels and tingles along with hints of the next instalment in Jodi’s ‘Literary Lovers’ series.

An Academic Affair was an outstanding read of 2025. Marriage of Convenience, and it actually works? Rivals, but make it tertiary education, and sexy?!

Pages and Pjs is hosted by Louisa Duval and Sharyn Swanepoel.

Sharyn and Lou continue their top reads of 2025. So many fantastic Australian authors were featured in their top reads, along with overseas authors.

One series by a Canadian author published by Carina Press-Mills and Boon stood out the most - and was read in the last nine days of 2025!

It was adapted to screen and launched on streaming platforms at the end of November. And now in 2026, we are all still locked in the fandom.

Can you guess what it might be? Slip on your pyjamas and under the covers, and join Sharyn and Lou for episode two of Pages and Pjs!
