This HaBO is from Hannah, who wants to find this romance: I’m looking for a book (maybe series) that I read in high school (probably around 2004-7). It was popular amongst the girls and we were all excited to read it and pass it around (mainly based on the spicy scenes). It followed a girl who met a bad boy type and fell head over heels. I seem to remember that he was sexually experienced … Continue reading HaBO: She and Her Friends Sunbathe on the Roof→
Happy Tuesday! We’ve reached the midpoint of the month. There’s some good cozy and spooky representation in releases this week. What new releases are you excited for this Tuesday? Let us know in the comments!
Overall I liked this book, though some parts were much more swoony than others, especially as the tension between them became mostly me, the reader, waiting for one of them to admit their feelings to the other already. While the waiting part wasn’t my favourite, the emotional development and vulnerability between Pet and Matthias was delicious.
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Elizabeth S: Why does the nose have a thorn ring and eyeball? Sarah: I didn’t think that was thorns at first. Amanda: Got your nose! Sarah: Haaahaha Claudia: Not egregiously bad but I did read it as Pokémon Point: Sarah: Nice dick ice cream on that truck there. Not suggestive or anything. Excellent choice of a pink ice cream on the top, perfect angle, no notes. What happens at … Continue reading Cover Snark: Got Your Nose!→

I thought this book was lovely. It had real depth. There were characters who made me angry. Sometimes those characters were truly awful people and sometimes they were good people who made mistakes (hello, Luc, you mess). Sometimes the book made me sad. Mostly, it made me swoon and laugh in equal measure – a great stress read!

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.
