This guest review is from Crystal Anne! Crystal Anne with An E comes to us from a sunny clime, but prefers to remain a pale indoor cat.

This request was asked by SBTB Tara on behalf of a friend: I need a book recommendation for a friend. It needs to be a page turner, but it can’t have romance. It also can’t demand a lot of cognitive load. Her husband is in the ICU and wants to sink into something without using her brain. I should mention that she’s already read everything by Becky Chambers and the whole Murderbot series. Amanda: I … Continue reading The Rec League: Non-Romance, Page Turners →

And as someone whose first social media was text-based and not video-based, I don’t always want to intake information in video format. I like text, most of the time.

This became such a strong feeling that I stopped reading at 78% and emailed the book’s publicist to ask. I am delighted to report that it is indeed the start of a series! Yes! The Honorable Ginevra Bishop is a treasure and someone I would love to … Continue reading The Oxford Guide to Scandal and Lies by Kate Westbury →
Welcome back! How are we all doing? Hosted my baby shower this weekend and of course, we had a nor’easter! That being said, we still had a good turnout. It was just a very validating experience, seeing all the people who make up our community in our home. It was also the first time we had hosted a gathering of that magnitude. I’d say it was a big success! Other than that, it’s starting to … Continue reading Links: Community Suggestions! →
RECOMMENDED: Love is a War Song by Danica Nava is $1.99! Shana and Carrie jointly reviewed this one and gave it a B:
Readers who are fans of enemies to lovers stories, or books where celebrities learn to live like regular people might like this a lot, but it’s especially welcoming to readers who want more romances with Indigenous characters crafted by Indigenous writers. The tropes are familiar, but the characters and their community make this book very, very special.

This HaBO is from Jade, who wants to find a paranormal romance that she had on her iPod Touch: It’s a series with at least three books and it’s from the early 2000s. The cover was green with a Celtic cross. The male lead is a cop in Boston. He drinks blood, but can walk in the sun and has no problems with holy water. He isn’t technically a vampire. He was born with a … Continue reading HaBO: Boston Cop Has Two Lobster Rolls (If You Know What I Mean) →
