Yep, it's true - I was so shocked I didn't know what to do next.
RECOMMENDED: Do You Want to Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare is 99c! This is part of the Castles Ever After series, but can be read on its own. Elyse loved this book:
I loved Do You Want to Start a Scandal. It’s funny, it’s sexy and it’s got some Clue-like shenanigans going on. If you have better self control than I do, I recommend savoring this book rather than powering through in one sitting (good luck).
This Rec League comes from S. Thanks! Hello! I’ve recently read a bunch of heterosexual historical romances featuring distressingly tall heroines who inevitably end up with heroes happily taller than them. Yawn. Do you have any recommendations for books with short kings instead? I’m open to contemporaries and fantasy as well. Amanda: Tangentially, we had a tall heroines rec league back in 2017. Lara: Judging by the cover image (if I’m remembering right) the hero … Continue reading The Rec League: Short Kings
Welcome back! This week has given me the first hint of fall. I love a crispy morning. We’re also in the middle of getting a new porch since the old one had only a couple years left anyway. I can’t wait to enjoy a coffee on the new one, wrapped in a big ol’ blanket. Aside from that, I’ve been fully on the Hades II train. Anyone else with me? … Libro.fm is hosting a “read-in” … Continue reading Links: Emily Henry, Banned Books, & More

GUESS WHAT Y’ALL! Not only are we here at the hot pink palace celebrating our 20th anniversary (and yes, you can still get a sticker!) but guess who else is? Yup, the original Twilight! It is not an exaggeration to say that this book changed the trajectory of publishing. Seriously, think of all the trends and subgenres that grew out of Twilight. Off the top of my head, Twilight influenced so many aspects of the industry, such as: YA … Continue reading Twilight is 20, and I’m Recommending Books in The New York Times
Her Knight at the Museum by Bryn Donovan is $1.99! This is a time travel romance that released last fall. Did you pick this one up?
This HaBO is from Fin, who wants to find this romance: Once, a long long time ago, I was aspiring to be an archaeologist and spent a hot summer in Southern Illinois digging very precise holes in a cornfield with twenty other college / grad students. On our one day off each week we would pile in whomever’s car had the best AC (not mine) and run amok. One of those weekend days we drove … Continue reading HaBO: Pink Satin Gown
