Crazy Spooky Love by Josie Silver is $1.99! This is book one in the Melody Bittersweet series. The setup gives me Stephanie Plum vibes, but with ghosts.

Happy Wednesday! My brother and sister-in-law are visiting for the next few days and I’m so excited to see them. (Even if my brother, who is in his 30s, is very much learning into little brother energy right now.) I think anyone who is an older sister with a younger brother gets what I mean. I also had a lovely little girls staycation over the weekend. That being said, I’m already dreading my inbox and … Continue reading Links: Piper J. Drake, Art, & More

This book is CHARMING. C.H.A.R.M.I.N.G. I devoured it in just over a day and what a beautiful day it was.
Cover Snark: When Your Hair Doubles as a Fidget Toy
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Maeve: Her bra sheath slipped. The angle’s also wrong to go through her heart. And no arms? The longer I look at this, the more wrong it feels. Sarah: I know what I’m looking at but everything looks slightly…off. Amanda: An accurate depiction of my acid reflux. Sarah: Gosh, mine, too. Yikes. From Jen: Not sure what’s wrong with this cover but it’s just wrong. Sarah: That is some … Continue reading Cover Snark: When Your Hair Doubles as a Fidget Toy
