I’m bringing back a classic episode from the archives of the show, and because she has excellent taste, Amanda said it should be this one. When I originally published this episode, I focused on how silly we were – and we are plenty silly. But since then Amanda and I have talked about the fact that when we recorded this, we were, in fact, baked out of our gourds. So it’s a different kind of … Continue reading 688.

RECOMMENDED: Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is $2.99! Elyse & I really enjoyed this horror/sci-fi novel. We jointly reviewed the book and ultimately decided on a B. We loved the cast of characters, but found the ending anticlimactic.

Hey, you guys, remember that time that Hobby Lobby stole ancient artifacts from Egypt and Iraq? Technically they bought stolen artifacts. They didn’t do the digging themselves. I like to imagine that someone walked up to one of the high-ups in a trenchcoat and said, “Saaaayy…ya wanna buy a Dead Sea Scroll?” and they said, “Sure, what could go wrong?” This book is totally not about that. This book is about Ruth, who lives in … Continue reading Crafting for Sinners by Jenny Kiefer →
Welcome back! For me, I think things are best described as busy, but boring. My wedding dress has officially been dropped off for alterations, our household is obsessed with Hades II, and I’m already eager for winter vacation. The tourism in my area is about to hit its peak and I don’t love it. That being said, October is absolutely flying. Does anyone else feel the same way? Anything exciting on your calendar or are you in … Continue reading Links: Quilt Shows, Kresley Cole, & More →

This HaBO came in from Jessica, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a book from Kindle but I can’t remember the cover and title. It starts from a woman’s POV. She says she’s laying on a lifeboat or (maybe) a plastic life raft. She’s holding on to keep from sliding or flying out. There’s other people in the life raft and a certain man is pinning the woman’s legs down, so she … Continue reading HaBO: They’re Stuck on a Lifeboat →
