The Books We Read
Meet Your Host
Hey, I'm Toyah.
smutty Book lover, Massive foodie & Retreat host with 7 years of experience of creating weekends women don't want to leave.
I host smutty book retreats for women who want a proper weekend away. Spicy books, great food, great company, and the kind of conversations you can only have when you're surrounded by women who also think fictional men are better than real ones.
I'll be cooking for you all weekend, every meal, from scratch, with way too much love. Food is my love language, and guests keep asking for my recipes (don’t worry, I’ll send you home with your favourites!)
I'm also an avid reader who takes her smut very seriously.
This is a space to laugh loudly, read shamefully, eat well, and exhale.
Come as you are. Leave with a full belly, a new book boyfriend or three, and friends you'll be texting about “that chapter” for years.
