Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is having a good week and you all were treated or treated yourself yesterday. Are you ready for some links?

Today is the last day to grab the discounted books of our 2017 Harlequin Valentine’s Day Sale! We picked 7 books for the sale and all of them are 99c each!

It’s Girl Scout Cookie season! If you’re getting tired of eating them straight from the box (yeah, right!), the Girl Scouts of America have a collection of recipes that make use of their cookies.
Recipes include Thin Mint Mocha Ice Cream Sandwiches, Raspberry Lemonades Bread Pudding, and Shortbread/Trefoils Toffee and Chocolate Bark with Toasted Almonds.

If you missed seeing Eloisa James, The Ripped Bodice, Beverly Jenkins, and our very own Sarah on CBS Sunday Morning, their segment on romance is online! However, I do believe only U.S. viewers can play the video.
…
Sarah is hosting another Live Scream this Saturday, February 18th at 1:30 EST! Join Sarah for an hour or so of craziness! Ask her some questions! You may even get to see a cat or two!

Battery chargers!
Every few months a bigger, better, and lighter weight battery charger comes out. At this point I have 3 in various sizes—lipstick sized, 6.5oz, and the 12.5oz, which lives in our travel bag. I can recharge my kids' DS, tablets, my phone, etc, before it runs out of charge. - SW

And Lin-Manuel Miranda was kind enough to put together a Galentine’s Day playlist for the masses!
I made you an early Galentine's Day mix.
All Ladies.
Happy Galentine's Day! https://t.co/MbxB3pj3qg— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) February 13, 2017

Don’t forget to share what super cool things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
Just FYI — it’s “Girl Scouts of the USA”, not “Girl Scouts of America”.
Thank you for pointing that out, Cathy. It’s not connected to Boy Scouts of America and does not have the same name
Relevant to our LMM interests: Hamilton but everyone is LMM. There are 4 videos up on YouTube. Here is Take a Break, my favorite because Tiny Hands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYC1lrSdSk8.
About the CBS Sunday Morning video: I’ve been able to play it here in Canada (and it was great!).
And about the CBS segment, I was able to watch it just fine in Finland. And it was awesome!
That mix is everything right now. LMM 4evar. And loved the CBS segment :).
I am really enjoying Jacqueline’s YouTube channel ‘Fangirl Musings’ (her very touching email was featured on episode 213 of the podcast). I recently checked out her channel and it’s really fab!
P.S. The link also works for me and I am in the UK.
The latest episode of The Allusionist podcast is dedicated to romance novels:

Here’s a charity auction some readers may want to get involved in:

It’s being run by a science fiction convention but I don’t see why some romance readers and writers may not want to get involved as well. Especially if you have access to books in the refugees’ languages.
Also, a wonderful wonderful essay on radicalizing love:
