Help A Bitch Out

HaBO: A Wagon Fall Makes Her Go into Labor

This HaBO is from Andrea, who is hoping to find this romance. Warnings below for faking a child’s death: I know I read the book in late 1990s to mid-2000s. Frontier or Western setting. Man enters an inn and ends up marrying a young woman (who knows how to live in mountain area) by spending night in bed with a board between them (jumping the board). The woman is with a scout or guide. They … Continue reading HaBO: A Wagon Fall Makes Her Go into Labor

Cover Awe: Foreign Editions, Fonts, & More

Godly Heathens by H.E. Edgmon. The three quarter profile of a young Indigenous person. The sides of their head are shaved and the loose hair on top is pulled back into a ponytail. They have a gold lip ring and nose ring. Twigs and branches are reaching out to surround their face and shoulders, while a red and gold snake peeks out from the branches.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! This is where we discuss cover designs that we like. Cover art by Radiante Mozzarelle Amanda: Border designs! I love how the people were incorporated into the border. Sarah: I really like that cover. Every time I see it, I take a long look. Amanda: The bubblegum pink is also super eyecatching. Lara: I am enamored of this cover. I just want to fall deep into its pink and teal … Continue reading Cover Awe: Foreign Editions, Fonts, & More

Book Review

Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana

Lore of the Wilds

How can I review a book that has a plot twist in the last chapter that changes the entire book? Lore of the Wilds is a fantasy that is enjoyable but…odd. The heroine is twenty-one but the book reads as very YA despite one graphic sex scene. There’s a love triangle, but it’s difficult to write about it without revealing a spoiler that comes out of nowhere at the very end of the book. There … Continue reading Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana

Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 62

Hey, everyone! How’s it going? I’m back with another round of recommendations for all types of readers. I even selfishly included one I keep getting that I want some second opinions on. This time, we have a Medusa story, a love story anthology, and non-fiction. Get any good recommendations lately? I would love to hear about them in the comments!

Book Review

The Duchess by Sophie Jordan

The Duchess

Sarah: This book is extraordinary in that the cover copy, the plot, and the characters all hinted at many potential delights, and delivered on none of them. When Lara messaged me about the book since I’d mentioned it in a recent Hide Your Wallet, we decided to review the book together.  The cover copy mentions that this is a “new high concept series, The Scandalous Ladies of London, which chronicles the lives of a group of … Continue reading The Duchess by Sophie Jordan

Books on Sale: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman & More

RECOMMENDED: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman is $1.99! This is a fantasy novel that Carrie really enjoyed. She graded it a B+:

While I genuinely loved the characters and concepts of the book, it’s played strictly for fun adventure. It’s basically just an excuse to have smart people fight cyborg alligators in a ballroom and werewolves in a museum. It’s smart, well-written fluff and I ate it up with a spoon.
