Book Bangin’ – Guys We Want To Get “Contemporary” With

The lovely Kelly over at Belle of the Literati decided to start a monthly feature called Book Bangin’ and of course we decided to participate. Each month will have a topic and we get to “discuss, brag, fangirl, swoon, exclaim, freak out, and talk about ALL THE FEELS” over our favorite boys for that topic. You know that this is one of our favorite things to talk about and it just so happens our blog besties over at Swoony Boys Podcast feel the same way!

So…. we might be a little bit behind, but that doesn’t mean we’re not participating!! This podcast is all about our favorite contemporary guys and trust me when I say we had a hard time narrowing it down (some of us just don’t follow the rules). Be sure to listen to our Honorable Mention list as they are all guys we wanted to include but just didn’t have time to talk about in a lot of detail.

As always, we have to give mad credit to the girls at Swoony Boys – Meg and Kass do so much work on these podcasts that we totally feel like slackers – from the awesome titles to the editing of the audio they make it sound good! Thanks girls for letting us participate with you!!
