Kickass Women in History: Queen Himiko
For this month’s kickass woman, we turn our attention to Japan and the legendary life of Queen Himiko, the first recorded ruler of ancient Japan – not only the first female ruler, but the first ruler, period. I’m going to do a little summarizing here, but I’m also going to be very link-heavy. So much legend surrounds Queen Himiko that I am waaay over my head in terms of describing her life, but I do … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Queen Himiko

Friday Videos are Uber L33t
Every now and again, I remember this video. Well, sort of. Specifically I remember to sing and dance to it across the kitchen at inopportune moments. I also love silly videos featuring game characters and screen recordings. It’s one of my favorite subgenres, even if I have NO idea which game it is (I know which game this is). Do you have any fave video game clips or parodies? Please do share in the comments … Continue reading Friday Videos are Uber L33t

708. From the Vault: Sociology, Romance, and Community with Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson
Thank you for joining me for a “from the vault” episode! This is episode 147, originally aired June 26, 2015, so almost 11 years ago. Drs. Jen Lois and Joanna Gregson did a multi-year study on the community of romance authors and I have never stopped thinking about it. In this conversation, we’re talking about that study, what they learned about romance as a community, especially about gender dynamics.

Dom-Com by Adriana Anders is $2.99! It’s a Kindle Daily Deal, so today only! Lara gave this one a B grade:
While I was frustrated by the third act and by the plot line that didn’t make sense, I was delighted by everything else. I really enjoyed reading Dom-Com and am very happy to recommend it to the Bitchery!
Lightning Review
The Sugared Game and Subtle Blood by KJ Charles
CW: Self-harm (historical), violence, death of secondary characters. AJ reviewed the first book in the series, Slippery Creatures and enjoyed it and so did I. There is a simple reason for this being a review of the next two books together rather than one: when I finished The Sugared Game I was in agony, desperate for the rest of Will and Kim’s story in Subtle Blood. This is the second time I’ve read this trilogy. It … Continue reading The Sugared Game and Subtle Blood by KJ Charles

Links: Auctions, Web Nostalgia, & More
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
