Thank you to everyone who entered and celebrated with us. The community at SBTB is a truly marvelous group of humans, and I’m so pleased that you are part of it. Thank you and happy holidays to you!
I’ve just gotten back into romances this year, and didn’t see myself as a fan of historicals, but after seeing all the love for Theresa Romain on SBTB, I decided to give her a try. My library only had books 3 and 4 of the Holiday Pleasures series, so I got book 3, Season for Scandal. OMG, I could have eaten it with a spoon, it was that delicious! I’ve read two more, and have several in my ebook TBR pile. Thank you for introducing me to Theresa Romain, and for these fantastic giveaways!
A sales post got me hooked on the sapphire falls series- love it!
Uprooted, by Naomi Novik. Loved it!
Courtney Milan. Auto stay-up-all-night any time she releases something new now
I’ve only just started receiving your emails, but I am sure to find something!
my beautiful enemy by sherry thomas! thank you for that!!
Hmmmm, there have been many. Through my view your sale-link/buy activities you probably have been able to guy yourself a new toothbrush, or two!!! Oh my God, actually I think I started reading Ilona Andrews from here. I totally owe you more than a toothbrush.
The A review of Lumberjanes got me to stop dithering around and finally pick it up – and thank goodness I did! So much fun.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series!
I discovered Burning Bright Anthology and I finished reading it yesterday.
Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
I discovered hedgehog shifters here.
Based on Eylse’s review, I read “Summer is for Lovers” by Jennifer McQuiston and loved it!
Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews
Well, Smart Bitches has pointed me in the direction of so many books and authors, but most recently Kristen Callihan’s The Hook Up. I’m not usually a fan of contemporary but my love of football won out based on the review. I’m so happy it did!
Ditto on Lord of Scroundrels.
I discovered Tessa Dare here!
The last book that I discovered here is Act Like it by Lucy Parker.
I think I am blaming you for the kindle cookbooks I have purchased. Why I had never found e-book cookbooks before, I do not know. But, now I have quite a few.
Discovered this site this year and I quickly regretted setting up Amazon 1-click purchasing! But, I have found so many books I never would have discovered without you. Wild Child by Molly O’Keefe is my favorite so far!
I have been reading romances since the late 60’s. I have read a lot of the authors you talk about. What I have gotten the most from your site is the HABO requests. I have read so many books that I can’t remember a lot of the plots from years ago. I have gotten so much pleasure from the HABO solves so I can then go back and reread a story I have long forgotten. I have a request I am working on and I am sure the bitches will be able to help me just as quickly as they have helped others. Keep up the great work.
I have found too many wonderful books here to name them all but most recently, I bought Act Like It and it will be my treat to myself now that I have finished finals =)
I am in a French period right now, Reading Patrick Modiano. Not romance, but about love.
Happy Hanukkah, Bitchery!
You ladies turned me on to Laura Florand, who has become one of my favorite authors, and more recently Time Served by Julianna Keyes and the Game On series by Kristen Callihan. Thank you for helping to ensure my Kindle has a thousand books on it!
Appropriately enough, Holiday Sparks, a Christmas novella. I’m always looking for something good at Christmas!
Once upon a Rose by Laura Florand
Meredith Duran! and I’ve discovered her only by reading you guys! So, thanks again for existing.
Oh, and I watched Crimson Peak, also based on your review, and it’s now one of may favoritest movies ever
Pretty sure I found one of Courtney Milan’s older books on here, maybe Unraveled, which led to me discovering her as an author. Thank you. Also Sherry Thomas, although I’m not quite sure how.
Oh man, so many good ones. But what sticks out is Tessa Dare, and most recently Lavinia Kent. I am absolutely in love with her historical erotica series. It’s amazing, and I might be writing in soon to ask for more historical erotica recommendations. And right now, I’m actually reading Miranda Neville, also because of this site.
It would be easier to list authors you didn’t put me onto! I’ve started reading Sarah MacLean, Courtney Milan, Grace Burrowes, Julie Ann Long, etc. because of you all, but one of my favorite authors you’ve recommended is Rose Lerner. Love those books, and I wish there were more of them.
I’m pretty sure I saw the review for Horrorstor here and that was a really fun book!
If memory serves this was the site that introduced me to Lord Perfect by Loretta Chase!
Sneaking in under the wire here — all of Courtney Milan, but especially The Suffragette Scandal.
There’ve been so many books I’ve heard about here, but the most recent that sticks in my mind is The Royal We by Heather Cocks. I’d never heard of it before, but it was such a fun read. I’m also totally looking forward to reading The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne although it hasn’t made it to the top of the TBR mountain yet.
Out of all of the many whose titles I can’t remember, I thought of Sarah’s book “Girl to Girl,” which I bought for my daughter. Thank you Sarah!
