Welcome back! This time, we’re doing Wednesday Links in the morning! If you’re in the Northeast, you’ve probably experience some semblance of false spring and had to reckon with that grief. One day, it’s in the 50s and then it snows. It’s also Girl Scout cookie season. Did any of you acquire your stashes yet? I’m really enjoying the new cookie flavor, which is a chocolate sandwich cookie with an almond marshmallow cream. … The … Continue reading Links: Auctions, Web Nostalgia, & More

Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams is $2.99! Sarah wrote about the release of this book last spring. It was also our fourth most popular post of 2025.

The heroine is a transfer student to Eastern or Central Europe, most likely … Continue reading HaBO: She Transfer to a European University

How to Lose a Lord in Ten Days by Sophie Irwin is 99c! I believe Lara mentioned this one in a recent-ish Whatcha Reading. It’s also a standalone historical romance.
This book is exemplary. It can literally be held up as an actual example of what a romance novel should be. I am in awe. But before I wax lyrical about the many ways in which this book is excellent, let’s set the scene.

Welcome back! It’s the last day of February and here’s how we’re wrapping up the month: Sarah: Alpha, Omega, and Update: Blind Date with a Werewolf is an anthology that came out last year and focuses on Asil, a side character. I read that after Cry Wolf because series order is a meaningless construct that doesn’t apply to me. Ha ha! Now I’m reading book two, Hunting Ground. Lara: I had a bit of a … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? February 2026, Part Two
