The Heather Effect

By Heather Pantoja

Reading can be the best escape. You can get lost in a fairytale, be scared to fall asleep after reading a horror story, or try your hand at solving a crime, the possibilities are endless. And with the amazing world of Bookstagram what better way to show my appreciation of some of my favorite authors and Instagramers than by show casing them in a Podcast. Join me while I play a game of 21 questions with some of the best people I know. I hope you're ready! Welcome to The Heather Effect!

Sugar & Spice and Everything in Between

What happens in Vegas is brought for your entertainment! Heather and Stephanie took their podcasts (The Heather Effect Podcast and the Reading Sirens Podcast) to the LoveNVegas signing and got down to the nitty gritty with some of the best romance and smut authors, narrators, and readers! This was a great adventure for these two book lovers and their bookworm bestie Yesi who joined in the fun and helped out with the entire process. The Twisted Rom-Com Queen, Heather of The Heather Effect and Reading Sirens, asked the question every romance lover strives to know: “What does love mean to you?”. While, the Wildcard aka @Lit.for.lit of the Reading Sirens Podcast sprinkled some spice to the party by asking everyone about their “favorite spicy scene in a book or movie.” Some of these answers are inspiring, some are thought provoking, and some will knock your socks off! Join us on this wild episode full of love, laughter, and spice! We hope you’re ready, It’s time to get LIT!
