Guest Review: How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster

How Not to Let Go

This review is by Sabra Nicole, who previously wrote a guest review for How Not to Fall, which is the first book in this series. She absolutely loved it, so of course we want to hear how she liked the continuation of Annie and Charles’ romance. Her Twitter bio says she is a writer of things…mostly words, and she’s that fluent in both Geek and Sarcasm. How Not to Let Go, the second novel in Emily … Continue reading Guest Review: How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster

Guest Review: How Not to Fall by Emily Foster

How Not to Fall

This review is by Sabra Nicole, who wrote to me and asked about writing a guest review of Emily Foster’s How Not to Fall. She said, “it gave me all the feelings, and I have things to say, even a good week-plus after reading it.”  Her Twitter bio says she is a writer of things…mostly words, and she’s that fluent in both Geek and Sarcasm. Welcome, Sabra!  … This book was a god-damn revelation, and a very long … Continue reading Guest Review: How Not to Fall by Emily Foster

How Not to Fall by Emily Foster

How Not to Fall

It’s taken me a while to put my tangled, jumbled thoughts on How Not to Fall into a somewhat coherent string of words. But I did it! Hopefully! When I first heard about this book after doing a podcast with Sarah and Emily (truly a highlight of my SBTB career, I must say), I lost my mind. It sounded smart and sexy, and if you know me, smart people doing sexy sex things is my … Continue reading How Not to Fall by Emily Foster

344. Burnout – A Feminist Book about Stress: An Interview with Emily and Amelia Nagoski

I am so excited to share this conversation with you. Today I am talking with Emily and Amelia Nagoski, authors of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle. I think this might be one of those episodes you re-listen to, because what Emily and Amelia have to say is incredibly wise and kind and so empowering and soothing – at the same time. No kidding. Their own description of this book might be the … Continue reading 344. Burnout – A Feminist Book about Stress: An Interview with Emily and Amelia Nagoski

How Not to Fall

How Not to Fall

In her witty and breathtakingly sexy novel, Emily Foster introduces a story of lust, friendship, and other unpredictable experiments. . . Data, research, scientific formulae–Annabelle Coffey is completely at ease with all of them. Men, not so much. But that’s all going to change after she asks Dr. Charles Douglas, the postdoctoral fellow in her lab, to have sex with her. Charles is not only beautiful, he is also adorably awkward, British, brilliant, and nice. … Continue reading How Not to Fall

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Hello, all! How are we?! I honestly feel like I can’t remember what I’ve been up to. I’m in the midst of that allergy haze. Toast is slowly settling. He’s hiding less, which feels like a good sign! My partner and I finished the tutorial scenarios of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, which took longer than expected. However, I really enjoyed it and I’m eager to get into the real campaign. Some other highlights: I made … Continue reading Links: Quizzes, Stunts, & More

Kickass Women: Theodate Pope and Belle Naish

I broke a reading slump by reading something different from my normal fare: Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson, which is a nonfiction book about the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. Turns out that the Lusitania had a lot of kickass women on board when it sank. One of its survivors was Theodate Pope Riddle, one of the first women to be a certified architect in America. She was also … Continue reading Kickass Women: Theodate Pope and Belle Naish

We are approaching the end of August. How? When? Why? I have this fear that we’ll get to December and then December will just keep going and 2020 will go on forever. Anyway, should we get into the books? Carrie: My daughter finally talked me into reading the Percy Jackson series, so I’m hooked on that. I am in the middle of Book Three, The Titan’s Curse. Also I just started Rocket Science by Emily … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2020 Edition, Part Two

The DNA of You and Me by Andrea Rothman

The DNA of You and Me

The DNA of You and Me might just as well be called “False Equivalency: The Novel.” The description on the inside front cover leads the reader to suppose that the book is about the career choices that women have to make, especially between love and work. However, the book is actually about an obsessed woman in an emotionally abusive relationship who has to decide whether to stay in the abusive relationship or stay at a research … Continue reading The DNA of You and Me by Andrea Rothman
