We’re talking about a very male hero, letting teens be teens, and hooray, there are dozens of terrible men to add to the pile. We also talk about our favorite Garth Brooks songs, and our go-to karaoke songs. (What’s yours?) At about 25 minute in we talk about something rather morbid – books bound in … Continue reading 735.

Let’s go for some comforting, relaxing videos today, yeah? Not only is Mr. Rogers a national treasure, but he’s also from Pittsburgh. So, not only do you get to see how crayons (crayns) are made, but because I went down a rabbit hole, you get to hear what my grandmother sounded like, too. I don’t know if Mr. Rogers knew he was a pioneer of ASMR, but the results cannot be argued with. It’s time … Continue reading Friday Videos Love Crayns and my Grandma →

Heather is one of those books that’s so hard to review because I want to say as little about it as possible while shouting its praise from the rooftops. It’s an intriguing and surprising mystery with a strong sense of place, and it also explores the bonds between sisters. If you liked God of the Woods you’ll like Heather (but Heather is better, IMO). The novel takes place in dual timelines between the present day … Continue reading Heather by Caitlin Mullen →

This HaBO comes from Liz, who is looking for this romance: I need help finding a book! OK, here’s what I remember about this book: – It’s a Harlequin Presents (99% sure) – The heroine is a professional cheerleader (I’m confident the author who wrote this was a fan of DCC: Making the Team) – The heroine has had like a year or freedom, and now she must return to her home country and be … Continue reading HaBO: Harlequin Presents with a Cheerleader Heroine →
